The Arend Boys is a channel on waterfowl hunting with two brothers that have over 40 years of Waterfowl hunting experience. One Brother lives in Alaska and the other in Michigan. Every waterfowl season we get together in Michigan for a few weeks to hunt the spot we hunted as kids. We are both now in our 50's and look forward to and enjoy every hunt whether it’s packed with action or just getting skunked.
This channel will mostly have videos of our duck hunts during the waterfowl season. Occasionally videos from my hunts or fishing trips in Alaska will be uploaded.
Yep, used it every hunt for the 2023 Season. I had some issues with it at the beginning as for as ejecting and recycling shells. Turned out that the gas ports were dirty. Gave it a good cleaning and was fine afterwards.
Yes it is. I was having issues with it during the first few hunts of it not ejecting or chambering shells. I gave it a good cleanings plus cleaned out the gas ports. Good to go after that. Thanks for watching.
I'm cracking up watching your dogs as it reminds me of our late English Lab Kimber. She was a love bug, sleepy head, around the house, yet LOVED hunting. I once met a guy that said you can't have both a pet and a hunting dog as your dog needs to be on command at all times. Well, my good girl Kimber may not have been a machine in the field, but when I said "Kimber"! Find the bird! It was like I turned a light switch on and she was now in full hunting mode. I feel Labs are great for this reason. They make wonderful family members and are your teammate in the field. Have fun trying to sleep in that bed as I'm not sure they will want to give it up. Best of luck to you and your family, and your dogs.
I totally agree with you. They are part of the family and spoiled. They lay around all day and sleep but once they hear the shooting when out hunting they are ready to go. Thanks for watching.
I love it. That goose retrieve was nice. He's probably like "damn, this is one big duck". I feel Labs are part fish. I miss my good girl Kimber who was a black English Lab. She was more of an upland dog for me, but one day on a hunt with my buddy, Kimber locked on a pheasant and flushed it for my friend and I. He took and shot and winged it even though the shot was a fatal one. But it flew pretty far out over this lake and wound up there. My buddy says to me, "Darn, that sucks. How are we going to get it". I looked at him, then looked down at Kimber and said, "Uhh, well, let me see. I have a hunting dog and she loves the water and retrieving birds. Soooo uh, I am pretty sure she will keep our feet dry and go get it for us". Sure enough, I looked at Kimber as she looked back at me in excitement with that look on her face, and said, "get the bird baby" and off she went charging into the water. After quite a long swim out and back she got to the shore and got kind of stuck in some thick mud at the bank. Then she dropped the bird and basically said to me, "Okay daddy, since I did all the heavy work, you can at least pick it up and put it in your vest cuz I am done". I have to admit that moment was pretty funny. She passed away about a year and a half ago and I still miss her just as much today as I did that very day. Enjoy every moment with your boy Lake for as many years as you can, because not only are they great partners in the field with us, but they are our family members as well.
Ie was using that weighted paranoid line they use for decoys. The line would sink and get caught up on the stubble under the water. I switched the line for 10lb fishing line and perfect.... worked out well
They're about $120 each or you can get a package deal. I will tell you that after using them during the 2023 season, I was very disappointed. I would not recommend these.
@@paulw4924 The movement is to slow, no wake behind them. No remote, costly with just D batteries. I had a prop fall off during a hunt. I'll be trying out the Lucky Duck Swimmer.
I've had Bald Eagles steal ducks right in front of my Drahthaar!!! He hates eagles ha!ha Once we was out on the Kenai , an eagle came swooping in and stole a duck right in front of him !! Apache started growling and throwing a awful fit ...... later at the boat ramp, other duck hunters was coming up and asking what was going on at our spot ha!ha
I had to switch out the piston on it. It comes set with the light load piston and I was having a few issues. Once I switch it to the heavy load piston it's been flawless. Killing ducks.
Pistons come with it. They are labeled Heavy and Light Load. Put the piston you wish to use on top. The wide ends of the piston will butt up to each other. The smaller end will face up on the one you are using.
