OPENING DAY ARKANSAS on PUBLIC | The Duck Mother Load | Black Cloud 

Dont think they invited them. It was a join or get beat deal most likely 😂

@@4amcrew934 some had another hole, some were hunting alone and we invited along. we figured working together would be a better situation, looks like it paid off 👌🏽

Wait a minute.. You think 2 semi famous duck hunters from Texas showed up for opening day of duck season in Arkansas on public land and "invited" a dozen or so more guns to join their hole?? Brother you got a lot to learn.. Flip the script and say 2 random middle aged dudes from Texas showed up.. No cameras or beards or youtube channel and they would've been sent to the back of the line... Hell Bayou Meto dude's don't even get along with Dave D folks and they're in the same state..

what yall dont know is that he had kids carry their things in and everything

Thank you, how has your season been up there!?

Best time of the year is here, good luck!

Dont let this video fool you. These guys have multiple people in the group scouting multiple different areas daily. I live in arkansas and it takes work to kill ducks on public unless you have hookups or go private land.

Definitely takes work, just like public hunting anywhere else but a beautiful state to visit and always a treat when you get to see them in the trees!

@@robbygray9562 buddy I live in NC. If you want to talk about scouting and putting in work I’d love to show you how that pays off for nothing. We’re talking a 2 mallard limit. So count your blessings, it could definitely be worse.

@@DennyBass same brother same lol. Coastal zone

@@DennyBass i dont hunt eastern arkansas, i hunt western lake dardenalle area and its bad all year. 2 mallard limits is a great hunt here!!

You outta take a video of the days and days yall camp at the ramp lol

yes sir

Hopefully we can all work together to help have some positive impact with the future ambassadors of the sport, such a blessing to be able to get after the ducks!

@@thefowlhunter Hunting ducks on public land in Arkansas has a huuuge barrier to entry.. It ain't for the faint of heart. I love that you guys focus on public land because that's the way it should be.. As far as the future ambassadors of the sport it won't change.. You're either in a sweet club, a hard ass that is relentless in the pursuit of the all mighty green head on public or you're neither and a weekend warrior that will eventually give up....

@@chriskauerz806 appreciate the feedback Chris! all hard heads aren't pecker heads. i walked up to a boat ramp last season and was fourth person in line. went to say hello, all three, all young men, walked over, introduced themselves, asked if i had a plan and we went from there. we did not hunt together but we didn't have any issues and all had pleasant mornings. the only thing standing in the way of things not changing are people believing it won't change and not putting forth the effort. thanks again for the feedback and any help you can provide in sharing the good word and healing our sport move towards a better situation, have a great season!

@@thefowlhunter Consider yourself semi famous in the duck world then.. Ya'll have a good time and show up with a camera crew and are respectful duck hunters from Texas.. That's the exception not the rule in Arkansas. And there are hundreds of things standing "in the way". You know what they are and I'm not spelling it out here.. In the event you don't you are more than welcome to reach out to me and I'll be more than happy to educate you about the Mississippi Flyway going back 20+ years.. Longer if you want!! I like you guys and keep up the good work!! Ya'lls commitment to hunting public land and not selling out goes along way in my opinion!!

I quit duck hunting because of the whole duck commander fad, we have people coming from all over the country here. It’s ridiculous. I wish people wouldn’t post where they are hunting. I deer hunt and having hunters line up at the ramp 2 weeks before season and running all over the slough really hurts deer hunting. Especially the mud motors

appreciate you taking time to watch an the feedback John!

thanks for the pro tip Chris! Sometimes what you perceive as reality is a little different when you get to actually be there. None of those birds started hitting a hole until the calls started working that morning. if we hadn't called, they may have hit the hole 100 yards down the lane, who really knows. what I do know for sure, because I was there, it didn't hurt us and it added to the fun for everyone there. always appreciate the input and hope you are having the best season ever!

@@thefowlhunter Well I dang sure wasn't trying to give YOU a pro tip.. I love that ya'll hunt predominately public land and are willing to go to any length to get after em.. And you're right who really knows how a morning is gonna play out! I killed one of my biggest deer on public land thanks to another hunter and done the same with ducks by sticking my call in my vest and using a jerk string and kicking the water while listening to some terrible calling from another group hundreds of yards away.. My season hasn't started yet because it was 75 degrees this past weekend in the North MS Delta all the way to North Arkansas.. Us outdoor working contractors gotta take advantage of that.. Hopefully we'll bump into each other in Jan..

thanks for the feedback Alex, would appreciate hearing why you think that.

@@thefowlhunter First off, before all of y’all out of staters came here to Arkansas we could kill limits every day of the season, but now we can’t even get a hole without having to wake up at 2:30 in the morning and run when we get to the woods. Second off, us residence to Arkansas who either live on the river or have a cabin can’t even get any sleep from 12:00 in the morning for the dang mud motors that everyone has to run these days because it makes them “better” than everyone else. And also there shouldn’t be people come try to run you out of a hole because they are scared that you will get their ducks when they swing around to your hole. There needs to be a permit that someone has to put their name into a drawing and you get told what hole you and your group are aloud to hunt with a limit of 10 people so that people can hunt in peace. People are coming here and killing 3 ducks and some how they are having a good time. I mean I would get it if they were at least getting to see big groups in like y’all did in the video but that only ever happens on opening day if that but this opening day there wasn’t hardly any water which is why they had to hunt in a slue. Used to be people could go hunting and see twice as many ducks than they did even though it seemed like they had a lot of ducks. Also. The people that are parked in a line at the boat ramp by lake ash ball for a week before duck season and the boat races just proves how stupid people really are. Thanks

@@alexpratt138 your state puts those rules in place brother, not us. I personally am pretty sure that your state putting even more rules in place may not be the answer but certainly respect your perspective, thank you for the explanation. I believe that if you and me don't get more people involved in this sport, this way of life will eventually go away. we are incredibly thankful for you sharing your great state during migratory bird season and believe we are blessed to get to share time in the trees with so many other folks, from so many different places, with the same passion and respect for one another, especially when we get to see birds work like that. Thanks again for the feedback, hope you enjoy the best season ever Alex.

@@thefowlhunter I understand that we need to keep this sport up but it definitely won’t last if it’s not good enough for the next generation to enjoy it. I have a good buddy that brought his son on his first duck hunt ever last year and this year he doesn’t want anything to do with it because it was so bad last year, so if something doesn’t change then eventually the sport will just fade out.

At least the second split is for residents only; usually my favorite time to hunt.

me too, appreciate you taking time to watch Jeremy!
