Good way to lose em&sameway in the swamps&bayou's in Louisiana ,had a friend lost his dog like that Duck hunting right here in West Monroe(home of Duck Commander&Skyjacker Suspensionq&Superlifts.
You are permitted to harvest Muscovy ducks in Florida. They are non-native here and are delicious to eat. The species is non-threatened due to their prolific numbers. FWC allows landowners to harvest them without a permit due to overpopulation. While I don't partake in hunting (more of a fisherman) - most people who harvest them will eat them. The dog will retrieve them and the shooter will twist their neck so they're dead for sure. If you eat factory farmed chicken or beef but have a problem with Floridians hunting their own wild meat, I think your sensibilities need to be realigned. That being said, you're absolutely free to be wrong.
Well said! I can't believe all the ignorant comments on this video. I don't hunt myself either but I respect what this guy is doing. I can't tell you how many lionfish I have had to kill over the years and only recently learned people eat them. I remember years ago when you only saw lionfish in aquariums. Same idea, They displace native species endangering the environment. But you said it better.
I mean, true. It's really because the hurricanes they have all the time. The storm destroys Zoos all over and sometimes the animals survive the storm with their enclosures broken. Hence why they have piranhas, pythons, wild cats, etc.
Invasive to what? It's a brain rot phrased used by people when animals cause financial damage. They're not "invasive" they are just animals existing in the world. These people are fucking fragile.
Okay here we go ill start- invasive species is a species introduced to a new habitat that may cause harm to its current habitat and inhabitants. And so ill make a few bullet points for you. 1) native americans didnt spawn in america across an entire fucking ocean so guess what you are technically considered? 2) theres difference in population control and shooting with dog shit aim for the fun of killing and traditional bullshit- not a single shot was a clean kill for fucks sake one is literally in the water still CLEARLY attempting to fly- so thats not just nerves 3) true nature has no "invasive" species... simply just species that adapt to survive or they die out. 4) i dont mind hunting- if its meant to ACTUALLY HUNT TO FEED and isnt done simply for some kind of joy for you to get it up for your wife who probably is looking for a divorce attorney 5) humans will keep inventing terms and logistical loopholes to do whatever tf they want as they always have and this is kinda hook line and sinker reading some of these comments. "Way to really kill that defenseless animal son youre a real man now" an honorless man is no man at all-hes a coward who overcompensates with a piece of metal who doesnt realize... he himself can be taken out by any other man who owns a gun and has basic eyesight.🤯
@@JurassicFoxbro we practically conquered everything, we can’t complain now 💀. Plus invasive species can hurt the wildlife aka other animals, transmission of diseases, and etc. so ye. I’m not mad at him but, I’m not happy either. So ye let’s see this battle to get me out of this reply section
The amount of people who think killing invasive species is for “pleasure” is astounding. I hunt starlings. If the starlings don’t go, 3 species of hummingbird, robins, sandpipers, and more all die off. It’s for ecological maintenance.
@@alexflores4262They didn't die slow. You have obviously never shot ducks before. Those were pretty clean and quick kills. Besides, for most people like you, it will never be quick enough or clean enough.
Your head is in the right place but starlings directly impact native cavity nesting species of birds, like woodpeckers and bluebirds, not hummingbirds, robins, and especially not shorebirds😂😂😂
@@therigobertodelgado1275neither do anlot of mammals on the savannah but if an animal in the herd suddenly goes down around wildebeast, it's a stampede.
So what? It's not like certain species which can destroy an ecosystem. Ducks eat moss and fish. If you have specific information on how Muscovy Ducks actually threaten an ecosystem - speak up.
@@LTrotsky21stCenturyThey are an invasive species. They can be responsible for making a majority of natural resources go extinct. Natural resources that other animals, and humans, live off of. They outcompete native plants and animals. They are a threat to other species, habitats, and disrupt coastal and great lake ecosystems. Muscovy ducks in particular, can dump excessive nutrients in small ponds, and share their diseases in waterfowls. Meaning they give diseases to native animals, and humans, along with harming the quality of our water. They need to be killed, for the betterment of humans, and native animals alike. With them still around, our ecosystem _is_ in danger.
@@mryoshi.-1296Bro have you seriously never heard the saying "run around like a chicken with their head cut off"? In case it isn't obvious, animals can still move around a lot before death. A deer can run a long ass time after being lethally shot, but another deer could drop immediately. It's just how it is.
@@xornedge8204 there are plenty of things that can upset natures balance, the whole reason they are doing this is because this wasn't intended by nature and without fixing it many more animals may die
@@xornedge8204"let nature do its thing" Theres no nature involved here Animals are exported from different countries to one another, and some of them start thriving in a sustained ecosystem which is already maintained by the native animals. Those species then start occupying space and food areas and the native species die out, thus they're called invasive. And when an invasive species is in the area you cannot completely eradicate them, but can keep the population under control, hence the shooting and hunting. Do some research before trying to prove your love for animals idiot
Me too! And from what I’ve read they’re not considered invasive. They spread from Mexico to Texas and then they were brought to FL and introduced intentionally.
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote: "It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live" ~ Marcus Aurelius
Some of these people don’t like seeing cute things harmed. But if it’s ants, termites, or other small living things, they just don’t give a damn. Invasive or not.
@@SwaggyVFXnot anymore than a natural death, they were all dead the second they were hit they just didn't realize it yet. Animals, all animals flop when shot unless you hit the brain, or use a gun with more power than needed (when they don't flop it's usually because the force of the impact severed the spine or turned every internal organ to jelly.)
@@lostwizardcat9910 buddy I never said that they were for the birds I was talking to the guy that said nobody does anything about “ants, termites or other small living things”. Also exterminators also use gasses, traps and airguns not just air guns only bro.
It's crazy how ignorant most Europeans are about basic invasive pest control because of their irrational fear of guns and hunting. Some of these comments are insane.
such ignorance. There are plenty of sheepshead and mangrove snapper under that bridge. But you go ahead and eat your farm raised Tilapia and catfish, literally a bottom dweller freshwater fish that grows up by eating the feces of other larger fish.
@@lanternkid1701 i know you have no idea what you're talking about, a suppressor only quiets the loud sound with and after the shot, the shot itself is only slightly muffled (which is the reason why you see people wear headphones in shooting ranges with suppressors) so please do some research before commenting
Whether you mind them or not doesn't change the fact that they're invasive and have a negative impact on native species. It's the same thing as pythons being in the everglades, or wild hogs being in Texas.
Muscovy duck (Cairina moschata) is considered invasive in some regions outside of its native range. The Muscovy duck is native to Mexico, Central, and South America. However, due to human introduction and escape from captivity, Muscovy ducks have established populations in various parts of North America, Europe, and other regions. In areas where they have become invasive, Muscovy ducks can have negative impacts on native bird populations and habitats. They may compete with native duck species for resources and breeding sites, potentially leading to the decline of native waterfowl populations. Different regions have varying regulations and management approaches to deal with invasive Muscovy duck populations. Some places may have restrictions on owning or breeding them, while others may implement control measures to reduce their impact on local ecosystems.
Animals are trying to adjust their lives to the invasion of our human cities on their natural habitats. So what if you can come up with a reason to kill them that will legitimize this brutality. If we humans are so goddamned superior, then we can find ways to transport these ducks to other habitats or find ways to live in harmony with them.
Its called a head shot and muzzle comtrol. The lack of respect for the experiemce of the invaisoce species is what is being judged here. Besodes ots america. They are allound to own any animal there , why not rehome them to a family woth additional food scraps for a village to adopt a couple pf ducks escaping persecution in russia. Maybe the migration of any species globally now is actually a respinse to our global ransacking of resources . People should be kulled, not moscovian ducks being maimed by dicks with weapons they cant tactfully utilise. Dickheads!
Forsure. No limit of kids a man can have 10-15 kids for 1 man then imagine eaxh boy child has 15 plus all the people who migrated to any country other then there canada. Uk. America we DONT HAve rooooom everywhere going be looking like tent city or india
He can count about as well as that guy can shoot. 10 yards away with a scope and you still missing a literal sitting duck. Fat trump voters out here proud of themselves
there are animals that are harmful to other animals ecosystems. they can destroy certain ecosystems which can have an effect on the animals and even you
@@EastonCraigFishingi dont think @DJ_Nuggetz is contradicting that statement. He is only shedding light on hypocracy. Read your comment describing what invasive means and look at the human race
Watching a giant cartoon like waterbird pathetically flop over being slammed with hot mushrooming lead at 2400 fps...., kinda rough. That dog comment very much appreciated. had me dying
It's absolutely wild to see people, many of which who would probably berate one for driving a big pickup truck, not care whatsoever when the environmental issues are localized on one ecosystem. This guy is legitimately doing more to help the planet than any of those people.
@@Repus89 Absolute midwit take. That's like saying Burmese pythons aren't invasive because Florida has snakes, or Carp aren't invasive because we have fish, or Starlings aren't invasive because we have birds, or Gypsy moths aren't invasive because we have moths.
@@PocketsandOutlaw 🤣 before you reply you should go read what it is to be invasive. If you think ducks are invasive you have no hope. The national geographic website has some enlightening information for you to read
Furthermore I just read the law in America referring to Muscovy Ducks. It is illegal to kill these ducks. So this should be reported to the local police.
@@xvxbloodwolfxvxcherokeexwo9387 Actually those ducks only started popping up maybe 60-80 years ago. So no. The "pace faces" have been around for far longer than those ducks.
@@xvxbloodwolfxvxcherokeexwo9387 Ha. Awesome. Same in Canada. We (British descendants) are 100% invasive, even if small groups of us worked in harmony with the indigenous ojibwa.
There’s always the one person blinded by modern society that says how bad of a person you are for killing animals. Killing them for fun is shitty ngl, but this guy is protecting the local ecosystem by doing this. In my home village there are wild jackals in the surrounding forests and fields and they kill people’s chicken and ducks, they can even attack our dogs, we have to kill them on sight.
Damn there are invasive ducks too…jeez. I knew about the python, iguana, pouch rat, snakehead, lionfish, boar, Florida panther/texas cougar cross, just learned about the cougar from python cowboy.
I feel that anything dangerous would have made its self known well before the dog got in the water. but than again I don't even know what an alligator is.
@@seederdontra5227gods watching if he wants to punish them for what they’re doing then by all means respect Mother Nature, as soon as that dog jumped into water I thought a crocodile was taking him.
Considering that the dog went to go retrieve the ducks I'm sure they're dead by now. Assholes will always be the harshest critics for no reason whatsoever.
@@BryanBrindley-qw2qy I played as well and honestly I couldn't do that to any animal. I did hear them say that it was to get rid of an invasive breed of ducks, so IDK if it's just a bunch of good ol boys shooting ducks or they are allowed to. Florida is different. 😁
The American way to solve invasive species. It’s still sad that some people don’t understand the importance of population control in the animal kingdom.
if you want to die faster than your friends - go on, catch them. Sometime only way is shooting them down. Even in damn russia ppls shooting animals not for fun, it's have purpose: if they not gonna be dead, they will damage ecosystem.
Lemme explain something to y’all since my dad is a forester, I know what an invasive species is. The thing is an invasive species isn’t always a predatory creature and can often look harmless. It is only when you look closer and realize what they are doing is invasive. Usually the invasive species will take nutrients from the environment whether that be from soil, the water shed, or anywhere else. And because the invasive species is taking those nutrients away, it leads to an in balance for the species that keep the ecosystem functioning normally. An example that I have here in Maine is with bass. They are currently an invasive species in some lakes thus causing there to be less food for other fish like togue (lake trout), brook trout, or other species native to the lakes here in Maine. So the key to getting rid of them are either by killing them or moving them. Moving them takes time and tons of resources, where as killing them not only removes them from the habitat preventing the species from disrupting the ecosystem further, but killing them also provides food for humans, dogs, scavengers, etc.
another great example is humans, literally harvesting all the resources from environment and destroying the natural habitat. Here's a thought, how about stopping mega malls and hotel from clearing whole ecosystems for money ?
Isn't that nature doing it's thing thow. Now you have humans being dicks. In the village I grew up, we had large pine trees and other species, which were later said to be invaded species. They then cut those trees down, cause our 'natural' species had to survive, it's always been surviving btw. Long story short, river banks are now wider and flooding everytime heavy rainfall happens.
Another good example across a good portion of the US is Carp. They seem harmless, they're just fish after all, but they heavily out-compete a lot of the normal fish in those ecosystems and completely destroy the balance.
Muscovy ducks can transmit diseases to or interbreed with Florida's native waterfowl. Furthermore, Muscovy duck populations can increase quickly, which can lead to conflicts between neighbors, excessive nutrient loading in small ponds, and messy sidewalks and driveways.
Why aren't they doing this with the Canadian geese then? They have to wash our sidewalks in our apartment complex like every other day because they leave droppings all over the place. They're always walking across highways and are a horrible noise issue at night. I've never seen these ducks outside of a small pond but the geese are literally everywhere.
Bro Its natural selection, if they came to the city, that means other people are took over their places , because natural water drain out everywhere because people cut trees and rivers disappear and many species lose their natural habitats. You think those “invasive animals” want to come to your fucked up cities? They have no choice because of fucked people like us. And after them traveling thousand of kilometres you shook them like they are nothing, like they don’t deserve to I’ve.
@@R3TROSKULL if the dog is trained properly theyll still be alive. looks like a cocker spaniel who are bred to hold the prey incredibly gently, some can be trained to bring rabbits and small ground game completely alive with no wounds
They were probably someones pet ducks that they abandoned. Very common to see sadly and they lack the sense of danger that comes from growing up in the wild.
hate to break it to you the lethal area on a animal like a duck is very small its why duck hunters need to use bird shot aka mass spread of pellets to guarantee lethal hit and you can't be shooting that stuff around a urban area.
@@gameaddictgonewild777 what if we meet up and I just snap your arm in a armbar or omoplatta? Sounds fun to me tbh I live in cali southern Cali in the inland empire LMK
@@cynthiacromwell8002 they aren't harming. Also they are going to help them, they sent the dog in to bring them to the boat so they can take them home and defeather them before they have a case of shock and they also need to see the skin for the surgery to remove all the organs to see what needs to be replaced with stuffing before they fire them in the oven as the kilm is way too hot. If all is successfull they will help the recovering supper on a fork and in their digestive track 🤓 What is disturbing is a vegitarian freaking out after chooseing to watch the video 🙄
We have those kind of ducks in our neighborhood pond and they have now multiplied so much we can't control them anymore. I would love to be able to do this!!
Muscovy ducks are protected under the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act, which prohibits their killing, capturing, selling, trading, and transport in general. However, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service issued a control order in 2010 for the relocation of Muscovy ducks.
@jahagkagau6061 many people consider killing animals harsh which I understand because it is the harsh way of wiping a species from an erea But again it's necessary
They keep us mosquitoes free. When malaria bactaria was found in some ponds, counties distributed free muscovy ducks to anyone farmer or HOA with ponds, lakes.
@robertgibb6990 fuck florida up* just like they fuck up everywhere they live. If they were such great people why are people leaving the states that are the most liberal. Had to fix your typo
