My Taxidermy Collection and Stories 

Thanks Patrick! My dad is a big time relic hunter, I'll have to do a video on his collection one day soon. Have you been out relic hunting at all lately?

@@HokeOutdoors , I’ve hunted a few times up in Virginia. I’ve found some really cool relics. Let me know when you do a video on the relics. I followed you on here so hopefully I will get a notification. I just started doing videos. Lol

Yeah my dad has caught or killed some pretty incredible stuff. I doubt I will ever come close to any of the deer he has killed, I'm just like waterfowling too much to invest lots of time and money into deer hunting. That perch was a hog, the thing is he's caught some bigger ones than that...

Thank you!

Thank you! Should be quite a few videos coming out this month.

Holy crap that's crazy! My first duck was a bufflehead hen.

Haha I'm actually headed to Longwood, just couldn't bring myself to have to live in the VA beach area for 4 years. Not the biggest fan of traffic.

Virginia Outdoors Unlimited There is hunting around long wood. I believe the feather fin WMA is close by. My aunt and cousin are longwood grads. If I can give any advice study and go to class there will be many distractions and lots of fun to be had but stay focused and set yourself up for success in the future. Make friends your network you are creating while at college will be great assets in life. Some of my best most dependable friends are the guys I met at ODU.

Nope, I won't be in the area I typically hunt for teal season so I'm waiting to scout until I get to college.

Virginia Outdoors Unlimited ok I look forward to seeing some duck hunting videos in a couple months

I typically don't shoot them as well, just cause I hardly ever eat them. In Virginia we actually have a separate merganser limit (5 per day) so shooting one doesn't count towards your limit of 6 regular ducks.

Virginia Outdoors Unlimited oh that must be nice. In Oregon every duck goes towards our 7 duck limit.

Huh that's interesting, never heard that before

I'm not exactly sure, I think a big catfish rod, circle hook and a piece of shad.

Overall? I've killed mallards, wood ducks, gadwall, black duck, widgeon, green-wing teal, ringneck, bluebill, goldeneye, buffleheads, and mergansers.

I'm in Central VA

Yeah should of said antlers, I don't really differentiate between the two

Ya it doesn't madder

Easier said than done

Yeah, with a full choke buckshot is very lethal at 70 yards. Lead will hold it's velocity and energy very well at long range. That is the edge of the range I'd ever shoot buckshot at a deer with, but as long as you have the right choke and solid aim it will certainly kill a deer.

Virginia Outdoors Unlimited was it #000 or#00 and 3 or 2/3quarter inch because im going to pattern my shot gun with a improve mod and full at 70yards

It was #00 and 3 inch if I remember correctly. The couple times I've patterned by shogun with buckshot I was shooting very decent groups with 3 1/2 inch #00 buck with my extra full choke out of my Stoeger.

I think I'll stick to shooting ducks over water thanks, if that's they're home then that's probably where they want to be and in that case where I wanna be!!

Are you draft? They're called waterfowl for a reason
