Flipped Kayaks & Huge Flocks | Early Season Goose Hunting 2022 

Best waterfowl content on RU-vid. No 100 thousand dollar setups or leases, just a couple guys enjoying the outdoors and killin it literally. Good stuff Thomas.

“Ahhh… I could use a little help!” Lol. I’m jealous! I haven’t had time to get out yet.

I am french hunter , this video is wonderful so please continue this type of content ! Great job dude

I enjoy your videos and the example you set for others (picking up empty shells, taking ethical shots, searching hard for downed game, etc). Shooting from a seated position on a kayak in the current can be tough, but looks like you guys managed that pretty well! In the video, you mentioned struggling to find your lead. From looking at the shot cam footage on some of the missed shots, it looks like you are slowing your swing down as you pull the trigger. I’ve struggled in that area and I’ve seen an improvement in both my shooting percentage and quality of hits by really emphasizing “swinging through the shot.” Doing that really helps to get that shot string where it needed, out in front of the birds. I’m no expert, just something that helped me and could possibly help others too.

Love these early season goose floats, look forward to them every year!

Found your page 3 days ago and have watched almost all of your videos😂 this is how you do it!!

Brilliant start to your season

Always enjoy these float goose hunts. Great one Thomas!

Geese and smallies in the same float. Can’t beat that.

That first flock was CHAOS!!

Man you got to do some more of those river hunts I love watching them more than hunting over decoys

Im not even done watching this yet - about half way through. What an epic adventure and in such a beautiful setting! Good on all of you!

Amazing hunt... great video... and then swamp the kayak.... you're off to a great season Thomas... God Bless

The River gods always require a sacrifice

Y'all are so lucky to start this early....we have to wait til nov. to duck geese hunt in texas!!!....keep those vids coming they sure help curb my earges...

Good shooting! At 5:38 there's another splash visible to your 1 o'clock ( where you turned to shoot). Looks like you got 2 birds. Awesome video.

Awesome Video!

Great video guys, from one old goose hunter to another, you know how to have some good fun, caught some fish and shot some early Canada geese! I really enjoyed and thanks for taking us along, there are alot of geese where you are at, I've never been in a kayak, but bagged geese in a Canoe over the years, keep em coming 🇺🇸👍P.S. those shotgun cameras are Awesome!

This is so awesome. Hunting fishing on the water. Sweet

a very challenging adventure, I am also a hunter from the tropical forests of Indonesia, you can see our excitement when hunting. greetings success always for you my brother

Great hunt Thomas! It’s getting that time of year again. Looking forward to seeing the 22-23 season.

Dude season starts in a month! Just got my first John boat. Can’t wait too slay em out here on the Great Salt Lake!

Were you guys floating the james river ?

Absolutely love the float videos. So dramatically different than anything we have here in northeastern South Dakota. We make up for it in pheasants, but still, that looks like a blast! Stay safe and keep the content coming.

Great float and tons of geese 😊‼️

Good hunt

Dang Thomas, that was an eventful hunt! Great video!

Awesome hunt! Really enjoyed watching this one.

I can’t get enough of these kayak hunting / fishing episodes. Keep up the great work boys. Love it.

just picked up a H10, going to do this next season ! can't wait . no blinds - just cruisin and shootin

I just ran across your channel about a month ago- great stuff! I used to hunt ducks and geese fairly frequently on the Pamunkey in King William, but I haven't had access to that property in years. I won the lottery drawing for the hunt at Hog Island WMA this year (great place, BTW), and I've gotten the bug to start waterfowl hunting again, but you just about need a law degree to hunt east of 95 what with all the blind laws, so I'm thinking out places I could try west of there, and your videos are giving me lots of ideas.

I'm heading out Tuesday morning before work to his the river and hopefully get on some big honkers. No white water on the one I hunt, well at least this far down. One thing I've learned over the years is everything get tied to the kayak. Paracord is cheaper than replacing a shotgun or phone.

I was preparing for a float hunt several years ago in Indiana. My friend and I took the canoe and poles for a float a month before the opener. He almost flipped the canoe with a mistaken stroke in rapids. Glad there wasn't a gun and it was still warm. I righted it just in time.

You need a bandolier for your ammo. Makes reloading way faster and easier. You always know right where they are.

Whack and stack. Good work and looked like a lot of fun for early season hunt.

Living the dream!

That was some action. Heck yeah.

Keep it up man ! Great video good shooting best of luck as the seasons go on!

Another excellent video thank you

Awesome video! An Old Town Sportsman 120 would be so ideal for this type of hunting, very stable and won't fill up with water. That current is so dangerous.

Very cool hunt!

You are the best man

looks like a fun day.

Been watching you for a couple of years, great channel!! Not sure why I’m not hunting geese this way also, awesome stuff.

🤣🤣 little wet on this trip awesome video definitely congrats guys hope you guys didn't lose anything

MY DREAM ENVIRONMENT

I really wait for your kayak jump shooting. ❤️ from 🇵🇰😘😘

OMG, what a great hunting video. Get yourself a waterproof box/bag for your shells and other types of equipment. I learned it the hard way last year, no more soft bags or water resistance bags. Amazing video, I'm glad you had a lot of fun. We are going on the Potomac river this Wednesday and hopefully will have a good hunting trip like yours. All the best to you and your friends. Looking forward to more videos.

I love watching these river float videos! September teal season is going on here in Iowa

Rain kept me off the river this past weekend 🙄 hopefully can get out at least 1 or 2 times this month! Not too many spots in the northern part of the state

Fun and beautiful video, we hope this winter will have a lot of fishing

Another quality hunt

This needs a lot more views and shares.! Awesome video boys, congrats on the hunt&fish trip there.

That "what you say" must be a VA thing. My nephew who lives down there says it the exact same way.

Hey Thomas, what would you say is the best time of day to do a jumpshoot on the river for geese im planning on doing more this upcoming early goose season. Great vids, btw keep it up, they have just gotten better!!!.

Saw that video come up and had to slap the thumbs up like whackamole!

Nice hunt, I wish I was younger, I would give that kayak hunting a try, no decoys to mess with and fish when the birds aren't flying.

I’ve really enjoyed your videos, looks like you shoot a Franchi? What choke do you use, and what’s your go to Steel shot and size?

Man the first time I shot out of a pirogue down the bayou I thought I was gonna flip, my cajun buddies stand up in them and shoot. Flipping it sucks though but makes for a great hunting story. That Affinity 3 should be able to take on some water and be fine. You could even make a video about that. But floating down rapids shooting birds is like some sort of magical mystery tour lol, definitely not the kind of hunting style you can do here but it looks awesome.

Can’t wait

Great video.. really enjoy the kayak hunt vids.. "BUT DUDE YOU GUYS NEED TO WATCH WHERE YOUR GUNS ARE POINTED" about 7 times in the video where your barrels are pointed directly at eachother 😬

Another great video!

Wow I wish we had places like that in iowa 😂 goose doesn’t get good around here till december

Nice hunt 👍

The best 👍👍

Man, how do water rights work in VA? Are all rivers public? How do you know where it's legal to kayak and shoot?

Bạn câu cá dính thấy ham quá chúc bạn một ngày vui vẻ hạnh phúc nhé

Amazing

fellow va boy here and would love to hunt like this. yall have any tips on finding a guide to teach me the ropes on bird hunting from a boat?

I always enjoy your videos, especially float hunts. I do cringe sometimes at the chances you take with a loaded kayak in the rapids, rocks and sweeps of your river. A couple of those situations could have been life threatening dangerous if your buddies were too far away to help. Brother I do hope you live to be 68 like me!!!

Hope y'all using steel shot hunting the water and how some of them honkers ate y'all's shots lol 😂

When you float into something in moving water lean into it as much as you can, then the water will push under you rather then pull your edge under.

Hello! I am a Virginia Local (Warrenton VA) and I am wondering how to go about finding legal areas to hunt like this? I did not grow up hunting so i dont know how to go about finding legal spots to shoot.

Were you shooting or just scaring them, over the top and you missed by a mile.

I gotta ask because it’s a franchi and I recently bought one and have a case thru it so far with no issues. How come you tap your gun before you shoot? Benelli click issues? Or turning the shotkam on maybe?

Great hunt

Good mas bro

sky busting and educating whole flocks

That's why it's called early...by the time you come back up here you'll triple every pass

Hey man I live right on the Shennadoah! What stretch was this?

I like all the boulders. What river is this?

Wow Amazing

Hit the river yesterday and got 6. Might go out again tomorrow further up the river for a short float

Awesome video fellas. New supporter here

Some good shooting 👍 I was shooting some about that high with 2 3/4 number 2 shot and it wouldn't even bring them down 😂

Man, you guys must love to pluck and clean. I love it but too much work. Very productive method though. I would have never thought of it. //ji

Man that was some bad shooting 🤣

I got my first goose today kayak hunting

What body of water are y’all hunting?

What state are you in? I would love to try this. Looks like a blast

Đã quá anh ơi 😘

Good video i swear we hunt the same river practically identical...if it splits two states then we are. Might catch ya around

What is the name of this river? it looks familiar.

Great

In my kayak it either floats or has a leash. When I duck hunt I have a leash on my paddle, gun and blind bag. I hunt florida marsh. Diving for a gun may be inadvisable as the lizards can get big.

I was cleaning a snow goose one time and I found 3 #8 shot pellets. Lmao somebody was out just blasting sand at em

Beautiful. What river or area is this?

overloaded like the edmund fitzgerald but with geese

Nice

It should be illegal to have that much fun.
