Very cool video! Thanks for sharing. As a lifelong South Dakota boy, it is neat to see the different types of hunting done around the nation. A day on the kayak with a solid mixed bag is something I can get on board with.
Awesome river and scenery, and such interesting hunting style too. I’m from Louisiana and mainly hunt LA, AR, and TX, so this is quite different than what I’m used to. Most of my duck hunting has been confined to fields, lakes, and ponds, and always over decoys. Jumped some in the rice fields so long as I had good coverage on the back side of a levee but never by kayak. Started kayak hunting in college and fell in love with it. Would leave class at LSU, drive about 10 minutes to the closest levee crossing, and hit the oxbow lakes off the Mississippi. We definitely tried to sneak some but the river is so damn wide they would see us coming a mile away!
Awesome hunt man! Before this year I had only duck hunted twice but this year I’ve gone about 7 times and got 15 birds all wood ducks or mallards, and your videos get me pumped!
I bought one of the discovery 119 solos tgreevyears ago. Glad i have it now i got back into waterfowlimg. Made good use of it tjis weekend shooting a limit both days
I hunt my local river system frequently a good tactic I’ve found is in a situation like you had on the geese tie off ur boat and sneak up to the birds and it’s get you 2x as close, great content keep it up man🤟
The weight limit is 350 lbs on this one. I’m 215 and Rocky is 90. I’ve done it in KS with all that and been fine but it would be better to have a bigger one than this model, only because Rocky is so big. Most labs are 50lbs.
That’s it. I’m buying a canoe to hunt the CA delta up here. I know of so many spots that I can get to but it’s usually a decent boat ride to it. Maybe I can attach a trolling motor to it.
I would suggest putting a yak attack paddle holder on you rail to set your gun in. Also get some velcro side saddle shell holders and put them on the side, inside, of your kayak. I have one there and one on my receiver. Great shooting brother.
When you jump shoot hunt out of a canoe/kayak do you find it better to run a full choke or at least a aftermarket choke that's a bit tighter than a modified/mid range choke? It seems a lot of shots might be on the upper limits of shotgun range but just wanted your opinion. Thanks!
I was running a full but I do everywhere I go no matter. I’d rather shoot wood ducks with a mod choke to not tear them up but like you said some shots will be further out so I stuck with the full
That canoe/kayak seems perfect for that. I've been running just a recreational kayak, but that thing is what I need to look into! I've tried floating the river out here in PA, but need to get on some smaller water. Great hunt, love your videos!.
So pertaining to the regs you can hunt on any river within the 50 ft embankment or high water mark right? I've done some reading however I'm not sure, and I don't want to mess with regs in cali.
Awesome hunt. I was wondering who was going to pick you up and take you back to your launch point! 😂😂 that is an amazing pile of birds!!! A perfect bag for a solo kayak hunt. Your channel has been 🔥 this season. I’d pay good money to see Travis’ face when you showed him that pile! 🤣🤣 keep the videos coming
@@MidValleyMercenaries 😂😂 I could tell it was! If you come across those geese again in that spot, you should tie off and try and jump them from the bank. Just a suggestion 😁
Double duty for the float shooting: put a paddle leash on the butt of your gun. I have a rear sling swivel clip i put on mine. If you dump or drop your gun overboard its simple insurance to get it back
Hey T, this is my last month here in Cali and I got lucky and got hooked up with some good guys in the Central Valley who have an epic spot to hunt. You trying to hunt this week or next?!? I’ve got it all covered, just need you and the pup!
Awesome hunt man. One of my favorite things to do is get the canoe out and jump shoot some woodys in the backwaters of the mississippi(WI) with my brother. If you miss, your punishment is to paddle.
More kayak hunts would be AWESOME!! I hunt 98% solo yak hunts. I pull my jetsled to haul more dekes and gear. Would be GREAT to see u yak hunting more. I just use my yak to get there & back. Dont hunt out of it

Watching these videos is the only thing that gets me through remote learning
Haha!
Same remote learning is tuff man. And he makes it better like you said.
Stoked!! Damn that was fun
same here
Love the stick technique 😂 6:58
😂😂
@@MidValleyMercenaries why do u not have a dog
@@lrblstick6024 I do. More work than help on a float trip
Watching these vids is the only thing in the world that helps with waiting 10 more months for my season to open again

Thanks
This was a great river hunt. Unlike the last river hunt that haunts us all. Glad you were blessed with a great day!! Nice Birds!!
Thanks!
Aww!! The river hunts. Sometimes the river gives, sometimes it takes. Definitely has its pros and cons. Way to get it done.
It sure does. Thanks
This looks like a ball! I haven't hunted a river for ever.
U NEVER kno until u GO!!!!
Thats one reason I love going duck hunting!!
👍🏼

So cool to just paddle down river seeing different sights all day while shooting some birds. Looked like a great day. 🤙🏻
Ya it is.
I am so happy for you. Great surprise getting those mallards. You never know unless you go.
Thanks. So true
Find someone who looks at you the way Titus looks at mallards 😂. I don't think I've ever seen you so pumped up.
Find someone that looks at you the way Titus looks at Mountain Dew 😂
Lol don’t know how I just seen this. It’s been awhile since I’ve been that pumped
@@benkaler7264 🤣😂
Great job filming also. Floating rivers and canals are So much fun. I used to do that in a scull boat many years ago
Thanks
Walking in and kayaking are my only choices.
Laughed so hard on 14:12! Thats an Awesome day on the river!
Haha. You know that feeling. Yes it was
I bought one of the discovery 119 solos tgreevyears ago. Glad i have it now i got back into waterfowlimg. Made good use of it tjis weekend shooting a limit both days
That’s awesome
That’s by far one of my favorite videos of yours. Great shoot!
Thanks
These river hunts are awesome!
Thanks
QUICKLY BECOMING MY FAVORITE RUclips CHANNEL AGAIN 🤘🏼🔥
What type of choke do you use for ducks?
Nice on the double mallards that was awesome. Great content as usual.
Thanks!
Y’all ever been to merlo waterfowl ?? It’s in north California.
I haven’t
So why choose a canoe over a sit on top kayak? Is there any specific or particular reasons. Thanks.
For me it’s being able to put decoys and stuff in without worrying about them falling and I like being lower to the water
I hunt my local river system frequently a good tactic I’ve found is in a situation like you had on the geese tie off ur boat and sneak up to the birds and it’s get you 2x as close, great content keep it up man🤟
Thanks 👍🏼
Great video Titus! Love these jump shoots on the river, just never know what's gonna be around the next corner
Thanks. I know, gets your heart rate up every time
Awesome hunt! Great mix bag! We hug the right side for right turns too! 🤙🏼
Thanks
Awesome hunt man mixed bags are always awesome especially with a wood duck
Thanks. For sure!
Do you think that discovery 119 would be big enough for you and rocky plus gear and decoys?
The weight limit is 350 lbs on this one. I’m 215 and Rocky is 90. I’ve done it in KS with all that and been fine but it would be better to have a bigger one than this model, only because Rocky is so big. Most labs are 50lbs.
Drinks a celebratory soda POP! Love it.

Bad ass hunt brother love those kayak hunts almost like pheasant hunting.
Thanks

Awesome video, let’s chat this spring and summer about a harli hunt
Sounds good
You huntin the Freitas river?
Do you launch at one location and get picked up down the river?
Yes
Great float hunt buddy, Congrats and God Bless!!!🤗👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks, God Bless
Nice hunt Titus! Looked fun!
Thanks! It was a blast honestly
What dry bag is that?
S.Ccatfish. Its the Earth Pak waterproof dry bag on Amazona
What Talon said.
love your channel man you gotta link up with bobby guy for a collab
Thanks!
Awesome hunt and beautiful birds. I haven't kayak hunted this year yet but by coincidence im going out tomorrow for an hour after work.
Thanks! Good luck!
what camera do you have mounted? shotcam gen 3?
ShotKam. Not sure what gen
Awesome hunt. I was wondering who was going to pick you up and take you back to your launch point! 😂😂 that is an amazing pile of birds!!! A perfect bag for a solo kayak hunt.

Ya I was stoked with that pile! Haha ya Travis is ready to go back to the river lol. Thanks Robby
@@MidValleyMercenaries I forgot to mention in my first message... best part was the singing!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was genuine
@@MidValleyMercenaries 😂😂 I could tell it was! If you come across those geese again in that spot, you should tie off and try and jump them from the bank. Just a suggestion 😁
I would but I’d be on private property. The high water Mark there was inaccessible
Great video Titus. Really enjoyed that one and awesome double!
Thanks Jack!
I love a good jump shoot! Thats was great!
Thanks
Great video this gets me through college 😂
How’s the balance while shooting? I ironically bought the same kayak before I left for basic training and was thinking about trying the same thing!
I think the balance is good
You might have just convinced me to do a kayak hunt!😄😄🦆🦆
👍🏼👍🏼
Double duty for the float shooting: put a paddle leash on the butt of your gun. I have a rear sling swivel clip i put on mine. If you dump or drop your gun overboard its simple insurance to get it back
Yes yes yes I love these vids
We do this on the east coast pretty frequently. Glad to see you killing em east coast style! Great hunt bro.
Thanks
Do you use a shotkam or a tacta cam?
ShotKam
Will you please do more videos like this I really enjoyed it
👍🏼
an awesome river hunt! but man i cant stand far shooting like this.
Hey man, are you still using the Eukanuba 30/20 for Rocky or did you find a better brand of dog food?
Ya I am. I won’t be changing
@@MidValleyMercenaries sweet, thank you!!
👍🏼
Kayak/canoe hunting dwarfs any vessel otherwise. It offers discreet concealment and ease of access to all waterways. Great video
Agreed!
Awesome video Titus! Looked like a fun hunt!🤙
Thanks!
Lovw ALL ur hunts! ALWAYS an INSTANT 👍
Thanks!
Would you say migration has improved over the past week? Seems like it has
Ya I think so
Tough to knock down those big western Honkers with #4’s, even at close range. They’re hard birds to kill!
Awesome video. What river is this? I would like the do this in my area.
I don’t say where we hunt but ya man get a yak out it’s a boat
This is an awesome way to hunt. Makes me want to find a spot to do this in.
It’s fun
Nice hunt! What river is this?
Thanks! I don’t say locations
@@MidValleyMercenaries I wasn't asking for GPS numbers 😂 but right on
If I told you the river i would pretty much be giving you the coordinates. Very small river system
Nice Ducks and Goose
Sweet hunt dude
Thanks
Such a cool way to get some birds!
It’s fun for sure

Ya I’ll be hunting this week. You can message us on Instagram, fb or email if you want
Heck yeah. Sent you an Instagram message
👍🏼
"I don't say this enough, subscribe" I listen to the podcast also, I'm pretty sure you say that a few times in every vid
Good to know
@@MidValleyMercenaries lol
تمام
Yeah thats a pretty good solid different
How is it running the kick high flyer full choke compared to the modified? By the way love your videos and been watching for a while now!😃
That’s all I use. Thanks!
What state you hunting man?
CA
Ambush predator 💪🦆🦆AWESOME video.
Awesome video. I’m kinda jealous, though. Season ended here in Ontario 🇨🇦 and I didn’t get to go out as much as I wanted.
Do y’all have a brand
Ya
@@MidValleyMercenaries nice I checked it out
Awesome hunt bro! This made my day. I’d take 4 birds any day of the week and twice on Sunday! 🤘
Thanks! Same here!
That was a cool hunt.
when does your season end
End of January
@@MidValleyMercenaries nice
Fully enjoyed bro
i love you guys
Awesome hunt man. One of my favorite things to do is get the canoe out and jump shoot some woodys in the backwaters of the mississippi(WI) with my brother. If you miss, your punishment is to paddle.
Thanks. Haha that’s a good punishment
Awesome video buddy.
Thanks
Oh, man. That double!
👍🏼👍🏼
Really Good Video very UNDERRATED hunting channel 🔥
Thanks!
Yeah you gotta get a Nu canoe
Good hunting
If Justin Timberlake went duck hunting @ 14:12 lol. Good Shoot!
😂😂 true. I laughed out loud on this one
Love jump shooting out of my kayak
More kayak hunts would be AWESOME!! I hunt 98% solo yak hunts. I pull my jetsled to haul more dekes and gear. Would be GREAT to see u yak hunting more. I just use my yak to get there & back. Dont hunt out of it
Will do!
Hey man i just got the same waders as you. Do you notice any tightness in the knee or crotch area when kneeling or bending over?
I did when the size was wrong. I got a bigger pair and don’t have that anymore
That’s cool Ti
Awesome!
Leave it to the mercenaries to find the GREEN!😎
😈
I like your videos
Awesome hunt
Thanks
