Man that was a great hunt, would pay for that every time! Admittedly I’m in the group of guys that are hesitant with booking an outfitter, due to past bad experiences. Booking with you though is definitely a bucket list item for me. Keep telling the group of guys I hunt with we need to schedule something. At the very least I’ll bring my son up with me, he’d love it! Keep grinding man, the content is great.
I’ve hunted with a Canadian outfitter for nearly 15 years in a row; usually 4-5 day trips with 2 shoots a day except the last day which is morning only. The one certainty in hunting is that migration timing and weather are difficult to predict. We’ve had many shoots where you get limits of everything and few where you don’t fire a cap. Most are good (particularly when compared to the action you’d get in your home marshes), but some are tougher. The shoot you showed- duck limits for all, was terrific.
Thanks for taking the time to write a comment! There’s no doubt that timing and weather is hard to predict. I’m glad this hunt is something people can understand. Hard to show the good bad and ugly on here but I think that it needs to be shown. Appropriate you watching Dave!
It’s called hunting not killing. I get people charge big money to run an outfitter. It’s more to it than just killing though. The experience of lodging, diff area etc. Plenty of ducks to make a great hunt. Biggest thing I see outfitters struggle with is when people can’t hit their targets. Then they blame the outfitter they went to instead of practicing their shots.
End of the day Cole you have nothing to hang your head with! You did a great job and continue to make it fun for everyone going with you
Listen man, that was a great hunt. It isn’t about big wads it’s about good shootin and good buddies. In your business you’re dealing with a wild animal, you can have the location and the birds but at the end of the day it can change just that fast. You did your job and shot the limits, if you’re clients can’t be happy with that then that’s on them.
Man I gotta say I got those bibs after seeing you wear them. And they quickly became my favorite I’ve ever had, as well as being my lucky bibs now from the amount of bands and birds I’ve shot wearing them
Awesome! They are a little heavy but I love them!
The hunt was great. But your passive aggressive comments at the beginning about doing your job and the hunters not doing theirs…. That could do without.
That kinda irked me too. Especially when they didn’t shoot so they could save his decoys.
I also loved the rest of the content besides that though, and love all his other videos.
That was a great hunt! any time I can get a limit is a fantastic hunt. I like the fact that it took a little longer to limit out and take more careful shots. Definitely better than going to work. Can't tell you how many fishing trips i have paid for and never got a bite. You are just spoiled with those crazy huge flights and when it takes a little longer to limit it does'nt seem like a great hunt. This was I a great hunt. You are doing a great job Cole.. Would like to see some of the shots in slow motion. Thanks for your hard work.
Us guides are not GOD. They traveled a long ways to pull the trigger and they did. Too many people expect to be limited out in 30 min thanks to the internet lol. The ones that actually go through a bad hunting experience don't even put out the outfitters side of the story. Most of the time i've seen outfitters throw the people that have a bad hunt a deal or something but, nothing can be free unfortunately. We spend time away from our families and spend our own money for this so it is going to cost. You did everything right Cole. Glad I got to meet you at the Pacific call booth in Texas at the DUX EXPO. You are a pretty cool dude!
I don't think a hunt with you or Bobby Guy could be a bad hunt even with no birds
What a great shoot - I'd be totally stoked to experience hunts like that! I've been to Canada numerous times - had times where I couldn't load my gun fast enough because of nonstop birds, and had times where I never fired a shot. Far too often, I fear, we as hunters look upon a hunt based off the number of birds/animals killed and that's how we measure success. Heck, sitting in a wheat field in Canada is FAR better than working - no matter the number of shots fired/birds killed!
Great stuff, as always!
Great hunt. I don’t prefer using guides. I hunt public land. I love the challenge of finding birds on public that haven’t been messed with. Or being successful while competing with 30 plus other hunters.
Cole,
Incredible footy per usual!! Makes these nights on the oil rig go by a lot faster!
From Texas been hunting the coast my entire life. I know the coast from Beaumont down to Mustang Island down in Corpus like the back of my hand. Having ran with my own outfit I can attest to feeling the exact same pain.
I can’t tell you how many teal seasons have gone by where people see the week before season footage & the rice rockets look like mosquitoes in the rice & on the flats, Come into town a week later they’ve been shot at & some weather hits & its good to get 15-20 birds to decoy.
It’s not called Killing it’s HUNTING
I work as a Safety Supervisor in the oilfield on coil tubings & fracs in the off-season. Like I said before, The footy is breathtaking as always. I think this is a killer hunt. Singles, doubles, three pack days are some of the most fun shoots to me personally.
My September is plum full, but I’d love to talk with ya & get up there. Never been & even too me this hunt looks incredible.
These vids keep me sane 😂😂
Night shifts are tough when it’s still 85 at night.
Great Great Stuff, keep the vids comin!!
Dude that seemed awesome!! We don’t see hunts like that on the east coast of Canada!! It would still be a dream come true to hunt Alberta!
Any day hunting, good or bad is better than a day at work haha
I'd be stoked if that was considered an average day. Hope you have a bangin season!
Thank you! You too!
If a hunt like that, didnt satisfy ya, then you need to take up golf!!!! That was an AWESOME slow paced field duck hunt!!! Keep doing, what your doin, LUV the videos!!! God Bless all!!!!!👍🤗🙏
We go to North Dakota every year and haven’t had a hunt that good in the last 4 years
Seems like North Dakota ducks aren’t that great anymore until late October early November now if you want my opinion!
I’m from Alabama and I would die for a hunt like that! I’m used to killing 2-3 per person. I want to come hunt with you sometime in the future. Absolutely love your content!!
Would be a killer hunt sign me up for that 3-5 days in a row! Enjoy the content man keep it up!
That’s what dreams are made of. Where I live 20 ducks in a season is a good season. Once in a while we’ll get a good hunt but nothing like that 👍👍
Hell yeah I’d have a good time on 5 hunts like that! Indiana don’t get big numbers of ducks . Cool vids brother, one day have to book and make it up 🇨🇦
I’ve just started watching your videos about a week ago and I can’t get enough. Sometimes, IMO, you guys work so hard and when something like this happens, it bums you out. I could tell by your demeanor you were deflated. Time is $ and when it’s your job, the more time the less $. Basically, piece rate pay. 8 clients @ $200/client $1600 divided by 4 and it took 5 hours to limit, you made $80/hr. ALL HYPOTHETICAL NUMBERS. The correct clients feel worse for you than them, heck they’re on vacay!! We’re good with whatever we get thrown, it’s on us to execute the morning!! YOU ABSOLUTELY KILL IT EVERY TIME!!! ❤
$200 per hunt per person? don't see that price on website. #3300 USD for 3 day trip so that's 3300x8 = $26400 minus guide fees, food, cooks, power, housekeeping, scouting, etc., TONS of work for outfitters but they do fine financially - It's a grind for them but you pay and in Canada the results are normally very positive.
Looked like a great hunt to me guys looked like like they were having a great time
Thanks for watching Kyle !
Absolutely, the calling the great dog! The ducks are a bonus! The experience looked a blast to me. Good shooting from what I saw. Keep going strong!
What’s in the golf bag in the back. What’s your setup?
What time of year is this? seemed pretty early as ducks were kinda brown, plenty of options and food around make it tougher. Still shot the limits and trickling in give enough action where its fun. That being said, you pay top dollar for the big wads right in your face. If they got that on any of the 5 hunts, then the other 4 being like this is still worth it. If all 5 were like that with no big wads, I could see where it might be a bit disappointing, but still better than almost ANY do it yourself hunt anyone could do. Great job Cole!!
Man we had 2 hunts out of 5 last year on our Arkansas trip where we only killed 1 bird. Not the guides fault. The birds just aren’t there when we were. But man it was the absolute best trip I’ve ever taken. We knew our guide tried to put us on birds and worked hard for us. We were grouped with some snobs that whined the whole time. But they obviously weren’t there for the right reasons. Keep on slaying man. Look forward to hunting with y’all one day
Looked fun and productive.
I don’t understand how shooting a 6 man limit wouldn’t be fun….. you cannot guarantee a single bird while hunting, that’s why it’s called hunting not killing. Great video and great hunt.
As an avid waterfowler, that hunt didn't not work out. I would've been happy. You guys are great guides, good dog, there were plenty of birds maybe not 1000 birds but you scratched out a limit...
I would hands down pay whatever for a hunt like this and the memories made in the field!
Take that hunt all day everyday! Great shoot there and yall did one hell of a job on the layout!
He'll yeah I would've had a blast. I'm from Vermont I never have those days.
Looked like a good time to me!! We would enjoy that hunt!🤙🏻🤙🏻
Great Hunt Cole , I would love a Hunt like That any day of the week ! personally I would rather shoot smaller groups than the large groups ! Keep up the good work and the Videos Too ! Thanks .
Heck yeah I would have had a blast! We don’t get very many hunts like that in Ohio sometimes we do but not often. Looks like a good hunt for the worst hunt of the year. You should see our worst hunts of the year haha
I believe this was a great hunt and if there was 6 man limits for 5 hunts that’s better than most places around my home in the northeastern portion of the U.S ! I have had countless hours just figuring out my neck of the woods let alone you guys up in Alberta figuring out big plots of land and feeds ! We get most ducks on small bodies of water and rivers but occasionally there are some field opportunities just gotta get in on the right spot. Always cool to learn and watch you put these hunts together it takes special people to make special things happen great video !
I can hunt freelance and if I have a terrible hunt, my attitude is “oh well, get them tomorrow maybe”
If I payed an outfitter and didn’t shoot my limit I’d be PISSED off. I can have a terrible hunt by myself and save $1000/day. If guides only charged if we hit limits then I would rethink my attitude maybe? Hunting birds that I did all the scouting for, got the permission, and then set up decoys and got a limit is very satisfying. Paying a 22 y/o to do all the hard work for me makes it feel cheap. But that’s just me.
Pressure at its Finest… 😂
Also that’s large party hunting for ya, two separate parties. One side up wind shooting more then the downwind side. Same ole song and dance. 😂😂 if either side complained they are absolute fools!
Matching expectations, you hinted towards this in the beginning…
Also as a guide, you have to be able to put next weeks clients on birds as well, everyone wants that same experience, rotating fields is to be expected….
Looks like a good time to me. But anytime hunting is better than holding the couch down.
For sure!! Thanks Brian !
Still a banger in my book nothing better then dry feild ducks
Nothing wrong with a hunt like that. Small groups coming in makes it easier on the wallet than just dumping 3 shells every single volley at a huge flock. I’d take that hunt every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
10X better than Bobby’s vids
Personally, I'd give a left nut for a hunt like that. We don't get the numbers of ducks here across the pond like you guys do. Hunting ducks like that in a field is on my bucket list. That was plenty of ducks and if you are with friends and good guys what more could you wish for. Keep up the good work buddy.
Thanks for the response! I appreciate it! And I completely agree. Some people just come in with such high expectations that they don’t enjoy the trip with their friends and that’s what stresses us out. We do the best we possibly can and anything can happen.
@ColeTownsendThe yes and at the end of the day they are a wild bird and can go where ever they want when they want. Keep it up 👍
From where I am sitting it look like a good hunt I would have no complaints
I'd take singles and doubles all morning over the whole feed coming in 2 waves. I don't book duck hunts to kill birds I get enough of that at home I'm booking for the scenery and something outside the normal. Excellent hunt
Awesome shoot....absolutely worth every penny
Yes sir , nothing wrong with that hunt !!! From SC myself , damn good hunt dude !
I would love to have a hunt like that. And want to one day book with you guys.
That looks enjoyable to me. I almost have a hard time believing that is a sub 100 hunt. What is the cost per man through your outfit?
Hell yeah brother I would for sure be happy with that hunt. Here in Wisconsin we don’t have many ducks so we put a ton of time trying to find where most of them are. So even if we shoot a couple of ducks if I am with my friends we can make anything fun. So I would of had a heck of a time if I had that hunt for every hunt with you guys.
Muy excelentes lances de cazerias amigos saludos chebres caza
I’m a solo hunter with my dog at my cabin. I shoot what I want and love every minute of it and wouldn’t ever do a guided hunt…not my style. It looks like everyone got their money’s worth.
I’m the same way
guided hunts can be awesome.... outfitters need to be good, and hunters need to be good and similar in expectations and their effort. I get frustrated with the number of guns at times and everyone shooting at single and doubles but it's better if you know each other.
I would take that hunt all day every day ! I’ve paid for hunts that have been a total bust. but that’s hunting you can done your best on the leg work but have no control over land owners and the wildlife. You guys appear to run a top notch outfit so keep the grind going! love the videos and one day i hope to book a hunt with you maybe 2025 ? Good luck too you on the upcoming season!
Definitely would had a blast
Hell yes! What's not to like.
All day, I'd book that hunt, that's better than my one and worst guided hunt..
Very nice hunt
Nice one❣️
Good hunt , not gonna lie , would have been a bit disappointed, only because if I go to Canada I want to see huge wads of ducks. We have hunts like that one in the fields we Hunt in Illinois. At home we would be pumped . On the other hand hunting is hunting and I would understand because I am a hunter.
I would have had a hell of a time! Definitely not about how many birds you kill. Always about having a good time out in the nature and with friends and family and even making new friends! Looks like a great hunt to me!
Me and my buddy's when to a outfitter last year and the year before. Let's just says it's called hunting for a reason. Out first trip ever there the weather was great high winds and sunny. We limot9ed out ever day. The guide treated us like family. We books last year the weather was horrible warm pushed most of the fresh birds out so there was stale birds around. I myself and a few in our group still had a grand time. Company was great awesome fellowship great food. We have built a friend ship and life long friends with the owners and guides. It's not about the numbers it's about the memories made. Yes limits are great but they are just and added bonus. Can't control the weather or the birds
It's called hunting, not killing. I've had many hunts in my life with little or no success. It's the quality over the quantity for me, any day in the field is better than any day stuck at work, home, etc
Good hunt, not what you wanted for the clients. We hunted 80 days last year it’s tough to battle the eccentricities of ducks.
What brand are the layouts ?
I would be happy but when someone travels that far you have to think money spent traveling, cost of licenses,cost to go on the hunts it get crazy expensive so clients expectations are through the roof. Not to mention every outfitters website is picture of dream hunts that don’t happen often so people already have this image in there head so it’s hard to please them. I used to go on pay hunts and the first few times I was disappointed just because it wasn’t like the pictures or other hunts i had saw from that particular outfitter
Hell yeah woulda had a blast ppl don’t realize how hard it is to kill a few more less a 6 man limit I’ve guided in south Louisiana and have had great days but birds will be birds will be there one day and be gone the next! Keep doing what your doing great footage
Fun
Appreciate it!
Great hunt. Personally I would rather small groups than shooting into big groups and the hunt being over in less than an hour.
I would have to agree with that sometimes!
@@ColeTownsendThe It is awesome to completly smash them sometimes too.
Absolute great hunt, I actually prefer ducks trickling in. It lets guys take turns shooting and stuff. So I'd absolutely pay for a hunt like that. especially considering I've been to Arkansas 5 times and never killed a limit lol and not because of my shooting.
Just went on a goose hunt this past Sunday through an outfitter. Had one opportunity at one single goose. So this looks just fine for my standards.
That would still be a great hunt. I would have been extremely happy with that any day cause where I live in Wisconsin many times we have days where we won’t fire a shot cause no birds. Personally I would rather have ducks come in like that compared to big groups even though I’m love to watch big groups but I would have been happy with that!
Great hunt - personally I'd rather hunt groups of 4 birds or less than clouds... having said that the job got done and ya even in Canada it does happen - can't control every possible variable for a successful hunt.
I would love a hunt like that! It is still better than my best duck hunt.
I’m a Canuck, and I’ve hunted Saskatchewan a handful of times both spring and fall both with an outfitter and freelance. I can tell you if I paid $2900 dollars US for 5 hunts and that’s what you gave me I’d be annoyed.
Don’t get me wrong, you’d have the regular Joe who has never really seen what the migration looks like stoked and thrilled, but anyone who has actually experienced a dozen 1000 bird spins at 20 yards 12 times a hunt would probably be happy to bag the limits but knows they aren’t getting the experience. Just my two cents.
I would have for sure enjoyed that hunt! It might not be as big of groups as some of your hunts, but any duck hunter should understand every hunt will not be lights out. That was still a great hunt with limits. Idk how someone could complain.
I’ve been on 2 guided hunts and have a Drake green wing, mallard and a snow from them that was a great hunt if I could afford it I would book a hunt
It's not about how many ducks you kill..it's about all the memories and the fun times outside in God's creation. My dream is to go to Canada and hunt some waterfowl.
i would of had a great time. enjoying time with people that enjoy the same hobbies that you and and killing ducks at the same time. you did a great job cole
Thanks Hartley! I appreciate it!
I go out west twice a year and feel lucky if we have one day that good
We don’t get wheat field mallards and we really don’t get field mallards so I’d be more than pleased.
Heck yeah I would have had a blast
Big wads are great and all, but I don’t think it gets any better than pairs or small groups doing it right all day.
I went to Canada for the first time last October and the outfitter was apologizing for us only killing 103 birds in 5 hunts. I was like buddy I hunt Mississippi public where you fight for holes work your ass off to get to hole just to maybe shoot a wood duck and gadwall. I said buddy you have nothing to apologize for. This has been my best hunting ever.
Thats why its huntin. Things happen for what ever reason. Great spread beautiful day and shot plenty ducks.
Are those big wads fun to shoot? Sure. But if you're still on birds and shooting limits, what's the difference? Now, if you go and have 5 hunts where nobody shoots a limit, I could understand but this isn't the case. Also, I can understand them wanting to shoot 1s and 2s, but I feel like Canada hunting is different. In Nebraska, if you get 3-4 coming in and a decent group behind them, might as well take the 3-4 because that bigger group rarely does what you want it to... Late season birds are tough to hunt. In Canada, you might as well hold out for that large group because they'll probably dump in. Overall, most of us see the work you put in and I got nothing but respect!
I would be very pleased with this quality hunt
Would be happy if all 5 hunts were like this one. You do one H*** of a job. Enjoy watching your videos keep up the good work.
Of course they’re from my state… They won’t see that many birds for the rest of the season and they’re complaining?!? The only time I’m ever mad at a guide is when you can clearly tell they’ve got zero clue what’s going on or haven’t put in any effort. Been burned by 3 different guys in AR/MO and had 1 successful guided trip at Flatland Flyways that was world class. That’s why I strictly freelance now. Shit is way to expensive to be looking into the sun and the wind at the local gar hole
Yes
Yes way better than back home
Yea that would of been a fine hunt. Things happen you can't control
That was a amazing hunt I'd pay every day for that
Yeah hunts like this are defiantly not what people are worried about.
Definitely would be happy with that hunt. Trust me I have had plenty of hunts in Arkansas were they would drop us off and we would setup and just before shooting time another group shows up saying they just leased the area. Had that happen three times in two years.
I take a "bad" hunt like that any day !
Hell yeah I woulda loved it. Kinda enjoy picking away at em slowly
I would have had fun, it’s not about the ducks it’s about having a good time.
yes
Absolutely I’d be happy it’s is called hunting not killing sometimes it just don’t work out. I guide pheasant hunters in South Dakota 97% are wild birds I guarantee plenty shooting and a good time and memories the limit is up to the shooters
