Great to see people going back to their book! I sincerely invite you all to read the Quran and witness that it is the next book after the revelation revealed to Jesus.
Thanks for the video man! I grew up tagging along with my Pops but never had the time to really get into it much but now that I’m grown it’s become my new passion. I’ve been trying to soak up as much info as possible so stuff like this is awesome, I’m grateful that you’re helping newbies like me out. Can’t wait to try some of this next season 🤙🏻
Great video! As someone who grew up hunting islands in the great lakes I need to come down south and see what this timber hunting is all about. It looks amazing!
It is truly incredible, unfortunately the past few seasons have been the worst ive ever seen. Just havnt got the conditions to the north to really drive them down like in the past. Highly recommend you give a shot someday though if you get the chance
Subscribed as soon as I saw the Scripture verse ! I try to include one in all of my videos as well. Thanks for being unashamed brother. Last Friday I had a group of 18 mallards land in front of me with only 5 decoys in the water! It was awesome. That's all I had with me on that particular day and a lot of our standing water is already starting to freeze up here in Colorado, so options are limited. I will hunt the rivers as well, but a lot of that is jump shooting. Well still fun, I agree with you, there is NOTHING like getting ducks all the way into the decoys. As God told Peter, (and Phil Robertson loves to quote) "Arise, kill, and eat !" -Acts 10:13 God bless you, man. Hunt safe. -David Shepherd
Very well put together video. One thing I continue to take note of in all these videos. A lot of them do not apply to areas where we hunt in MN and ND. Walking in the swamps and marshes and potholes is pure hell. Going out there multiple times is a nightmare. We just do not have nice hard bottoms. Some of these holes have many many feet of pure "loon shit". I heard one story of a guy who pounded corner posts for a permanent duck blind and he ended up going to 30' before he hit solid ground. And a lot of those spots are walk-in spots so no boat of any kind and very difficult walking.
Im telling you brother, ive seen it make a massive difference. Split it to where there landing into the lane, like landing not looking or landing into the decoys. Let them land into open space.
Do mallard drake deeks flair other birds like gadwall, teal, and widgeon? I hunt the coast and that’s mainly what we shoot where I hunt and I’ve been told that they do
Not in my experience, but ducks do act differently in different areas. But we get plenty of gadwall, teal and widgeon over mallard decoys. Maybe something to experiment with in your area
I’m from central Mississippi. And I have been struggling to just get on the x. I’ve tried running traffic but haven’t been very effective. Any tips for running traffic
Ive done a whole video on this. You can searcy "chasing green running traffic" and it will pop up. It goes into great detail on the subject. Bascially though, you need to be under as many birds as possible, like just a few flying over through the morning isnt enough, you need bigger spreads with decent amount of calling, and you need right conditions. Preferably windy and cold. Very hard to run traffic alone or with just 2 guys unless your are in the right spot with the right birds. I highly recommend that video though, as i think it will give you the answers your looking for.
I used to always throw a couple odd-balls off from the main group in a couple directions. If the ducks were wanting to land short, we would grab a couple decoys and head downwind 50-75 yards. Killed quite a few that way through the years, especially late morning.
I run as small as possible down here on the Texas coast have shot 3-4 man limits over 2 decoys but usually just roll with a half dozen gadwall and half dozen coots
@@ChasingGreen it's crazy cuz you can go 20-30 miles north to a rice field and try to the same small decoy spread and not get anything but then throw 6-10 dozen on that Ricefield and it's a game changer! Different spreads for different areas I've learned... but the main thing is finding the X and figuring it out from there
I am in Ontario. You just described a lot of my hunting situations. When does your season end? It's late season here and mallards have just come down in numbers.
Yes definitely can be. I also have a video on how many decoys to use that is more recent and goes into that subject a little more. Recommend checking it out if you get time. Thanks for watching!
Teal, pintail, and about to be black ducks. I was with a guy who had a drone last season, we had painted black mallards in the spread...it was crazy how much they stood out. White on pintails and shovelers look good. Teal give different dimensions that look really good to me. Hens or brown ducks you cant hardly see at all so thats kinda what i focus on. Though i bet what a greenhead sees is much different that what i can see. Also like Canada decoys if im in a spot where i can use em.
Was an idiot back in the day...many years ago i drank and drove and crashed my truck. Thankfully i didnt kill someone or myself. Got this scar though to remind me of the stupidity. Thankfully the Lord got ahold of me.
Its not called hunting, you are doing duck betraying, you are tricking them and killing them, hunting is something where your opponent has a chance to survive, even wild animal don't cheat other animals, but human beings have fallen so much that they are to trick the poor little birds to kill them
Wild animals dont cheat other animals? You obviously know very little about nature and how vicous the life cycle is. I highly suggest you study predators a little more in depth before commenting on the subject. I eat meat because it is good for the body. I believe it is a God created resource, i just choose to obtain and process it my self instead of going to the store and have someone handle and do who knows what to it. If you eat meat, then your just a hypocrite. If you eat dont eat meat, then we just have a disagreement on the purpose of animals as resource to the ecosystem, which humans are a part of as a predator. And the ducks absolutely has a chance to survive, in fact most of them do. They have a very good chance. It amazes me how someone can form an opinion with literally doing no research, put zero effort in trying to form an objective opinion. If you think the animal has no chance, you have no clue about how hunting works.
This has got to be the most informative video on decoy spreads. This made more sense than the “simple” video that says put out a J or a U
Thanks man! Greatly appreciate that. Hope it puts more on the strap for you
The scriptures at the beginning of the videos definitely got my subscription, but you have one of the best channels on duck hunting!
Appreciate it 👊🏻
Thank you for incorporating the Word in your video!
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it

@@PA_hunterBoth are simply books written by men for men
Thanks for your great content, and you stand for Christ! One of my favorite channels!!
Apprecaite that buddy. Hope this helps people put some green in the decoys. Thanks for the support brother 👊🏻
I hunt in SC and in my area we have mostly wood ducks!! Great info on decoy spreads!!
Appreciate it

Glad to hear you have jumped back into the sport and hope the vids put a few more birds on the strap next season
Thanks so much for this. Love that you aren’t afraid to proclaim the gospel too. Much love from Washington Brother!

Great tips. I’ll start spreading my decoys better this season and let you know what works for me. 👍🏻
Sounds good, good luck!

That sounds brutal. Sounds like kayak country
Lol central MN were some canoe boys
Great video dude. I like the insight on splitting the decoys. May need to start trying that this year.
Im telling you brother, ive seen it make a massive difference. Split it to where there landing into the lane, like landing not looking or landing into the decoys. Let them land into open space.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! New to it and these videos are very helpful! God bless!!
No problem! Glad to hear they helped. Good luck getting into the sport!
Awesome video and great advice!
Thanks, hope it helps. Appreciate you watching
Great video guys!! Keep up the great work!! Come on November!! God bless!!
Amen to that, this summer heat has me ready for a cold front. Thanks for watching bud 👊🏻
Great video! That’s how we do it 👍🏻💪🏻👊🏻
Thanks buddy 👊🏻
Wonderful information...

Yep, it can be a deadly strategy for sure!

Small spreads definitely work! We run them a lot to

Very true 💯
I am in Ontario. You just described a lot of my hunting situations. When does your season end? It's late season here and mallards have just come down in numbers.
Our season ends at the end of January. Glad to hear you are getting some birds in
Is there an water proof ear plugs? Does the dog kill them alive or dead? Where do I get the duck decoys? Also, this was very informative.
Most of the higher end electronic higher protection is pretty water resistant but not so sure about waterproof
The dog rarely kills a duck.
Sometime the duck tries to fight and... Crunch. When your dog crunches a duck everyone cheers.
It happens.
what's your favorite brand of decoys.
Dakota packables for my style of hunting (painted heads)
Is 1 dozen enough decoys?
Yes definitely can be. I also have a video on how many decoys to use that is more recent and goes into that subject a little more. Recommend checking it out if you get time. Thanks for watching!
When you run a mixed spread, what species of decoys do you run?
Teal, pintail, and about to be black ducks. I was with a guy who had a drone last season, we had painted black mallards in the spread...it was crazy how much they stood out. White on pintails and shovelers look good. Teal give different dimensions that look really good to me. Hens or brown ducks you cant hardly see at all so thats kinda what i focus on.

Was that one guy fishing?
thank you, come hunt with me in Idaho 😁
Would love to, hope to make it up there someday
03:25 did u say duck hole?
Cool.
Thanks for leading with scripture!
Louisiana two piece!
Got to have the LA 2 piece
I go to the U of A and I’d like to inquire with no no offense, as to why the separation in your mustache is diagonal
Was an idiot back in the day...many years ago i drank and drove and crashed my truck. Thankfully i didnt kill someone or myself. Got this scar though to remind me of the stupidity. Thankfully the Lord got ahold of me.
Hey man I’ve been killing a couple with only like 4 dozen decoys
Nice!
Y’all ever killed green in a dry field? Nothing else like it.
Naw, ive always been a water hunter. Wouldnt be opposed to trying someday though
Seen scripture. Hit the sub button. Now I can watch the video. 👍
Thanks, appreciate it 🤙🏼
You lucky people in my country the hunting game is destroyed because of wildlife
i would like this but my like would be number 666
Good call
Dude shot a tree 3 times.
