I've been wanting to do some duck/ goose hunting for years, even have collected most of the gear... and this year I found a guy with lots of experience willing to take me out, he even has access to some prime private land :) I can't wait!
I was gonna post that some comment...I hate it when guys say "I got that one!"...But when you have a 5 bird limit and 4 guns going off, I guess you gotta keep track of who shot what...We some times take turns when it's thick with birds, even keep tally on birds taken per shots fired....That way you can see who really whiffs (Spoiler alert...It's usually the "I shot that one" guy...)
Been hunting out of grass covered A-Frames in the middle of open fields, golf courses, banks of rivers, and I have been shocked at how well they work! We stuck one in a cut bean field and the birds didn't take notice. Nice work!
I’m so envious of these field hunts, we just don’t have those opportunities, it’s either flooded rice, or flooded marshes. But if you don’t have water your kinda SOL for ducks. You can get the geese in a dry corn or rice field here though.
I don’t like to hunt with groups larger than 3 because of the “I shot that one’s.” Especially if it’s a nice bird or it’s banded. Why I normally only hunt solo or with 1 other person
Dylan Miller it’s makes you sound like a greedy hunter and it’s really just bad sportsmanship in the duck world lol. Now if you for sure killed it and other people saw you do it then it’s okay to be like “hey guys I killed this one”
Limited out on drake mallards for the first time ever yesterday. We actually hit a 3 man limit. Here in MO you can only harvest 4 per man. It was such a good time. Blasting ducks all morning!
mattizyodaddy12 yeah I was just looking at the weather and on into Jan 20th still warm temps. But we all know you can’t predict the future and something might change.
mattizyodaddy12 same here back at work and just gotta get it in when we can and that’s all we can do. You should check out Flyways Federation videos. Long but worth the watch and good info!!
if you are struggling to cover the area directly above the blind. use willows or trees that fan out and cover a good area. it really helps. then leave the grass on the bottom still.
Never understand the "shouldering the gun wrong" until I got a new semiauto about a month ago. I couldnt hit nothing and I was wondering why. Shooting at paper targets pulling up fast and shooting at it like a fast incoming duck, I realized I had to practice, now I'm good! Really makes a difference knowing where ur at!
have used a frames in middle large fields for years has always worked pretty well on ducks not quite as well on geese. What few may not work you may make up with better shooting on larger flocks than shooting from a layout or if you are older or physically challenged.
Congratulations, hunt was Awesome. It's hard to watch this because we can only shoot 2 Mallards in NY 🤔. They say the Mallard population is down in NY 🤔. But if I drive 2 hrs north to Ontario Canada I can shoot 6! Same Flyway 🤔🤔. We have had some awesome field Mallard hunting, love it!! Thanks for sharing.
Oh you need to bake whole mallards. Pluck em, stuff em, wrap in bacon, carrots, celery, spices on top then in oven bag with 1” white wine. Cook at 400 degrees for 1 Hour. Awesome tasting and corn fed, Yummy
do you ever eat the legs? you should try them. marinate a day or two then cook low in the crock pot for 12 hours; its gold. I slow cook my goose legs and grill my duck legs. I haven't tried slow cooking duck legs yet but im sure they would be good too.
Keep smashing em for me, I got one heck of a itchy trigger finger all the way over here in Japan with no remedy in sight lol, the only ducks I get to see right now go over my head unscathed when I'm on the flight line :(
the fog may well have helped you more than you think. Probably helped more than sun to get the ducks all the way in. I do love hunting on clear days though.
I've been trying to condition myself that in a group situation shoot a farther distancing duck still in range first. That way the closer ducks trying to get out of the spread still are in gun range.
Haven’t been duck hunting this year but I’ve been deer hunting and making survival challenges eating armadillo and raccoon! 2020 is going to be epic for us!!
That was a sweet hunt Josh! What do you guys have against having a dog? I don't hunt unless I can take mine... even in the yak, he's got a seat. I couldn't tell, did you pull the spinners once you started goose hunting?
Dude seriously you have such good hunts it’s amazing to watch. I would love to set up here in a cornfield but in Northern California the farmers don’t really let people hunt there land unless you pay for a blind which is super expensive. So I am just living out my dreams of killing so many green heads and honkers through your videos lmao. What is crazy to me is that you guys are stoked on getting a Widgeon. I shoot Widgeon and pintail pretty much every time I go hunting but the Mallards are few and far between. I hardly see more than a pair of mallards flying together seriously it’s rare to see big groups. Anyway love these videos. I’m actually re-watching you videos getting pumped for opening day at the end out October!
LSG_Raindrop dude... the worst no matter what group I end up hunting with. Someone says “I shot that one” and my eyes go cross eyed and I’m pretty sure I’ve had 3 strokes.
Cash B it’s a Rogers A-frame blind, he has it pinned at the top. But when you click on it it says not available. I believe them to be discontinued by Rogers
Marc Feetham We knew these birds would be used for poppers and summer sausage. Otherwise we would have done the extra work. Skin on fat Mallards are the bomb.
Oh man brother. I know you’ve seen my comment before, but keep the skin/fat on those breasts. It’s waaaay better. I’ve been letting them sit in water for a couple days in the fridge to drain the blood and then marinading them in olive oil and Monterey steak seasoning from mccormicks. It’s my absolute favorite way to cook them now. I threw a mallard and a teal on the grill on New Years, the olive oil makes it go up in flames and Sears the outside pretty good. I like mine a medium rare and it tastes just like a filet mignot.
uggghhh i love field mallards i’m so jealous!! also @4:15 i’m not one to shame people but that’s annoying...im pretty sure (because i’ve watched pretty much all our videos and i’ve seen when you are by yourself and you for sure get them i’ve seen a lot of birds die on your camera and i know what it looks like and you’re a good shot in my opinion you killed that bird) you smoked that one and someone was like he got that one or that was mine! kinda annoying but still an awesome video
we don't really but its beneficial to duck population not to kill the females but its also kinda a status symbol type thing to only kill males and they are generally more colorful and you are automatically more likely to focus on male because of that.
Can u use a better camera to record your video so we can see what u shooting, the go pro just good for u filming yourself we can't see anything beyond the tip of your gun.
I've been wanting to do some duck/ goose hunting for years, even have collected most of the gear... and this year I found a guy with lots of experience willing to take me out, he even has access to some prime private land :) I can't wait!
These guys that get to hunt with you josh don’t realize how lucky they are! You would make a great guide.
Here in Florida I've had some of my best hunts under foggy conditions. Biggest Florida Fan David Kilroy.
Got to love those “I shot that one “ guys ..smfh
Grant Mason gotta hate them the most
I was gonna post that some comment...I hate it when guys say "I got that one!"...But when you have a 5 bird limit and 4 guns going off, I guess you gotta keep track of who shot what...We some times take turns when it's thick with birds, even keep tally on birds taken per shots fired....That way you can see who really whiffs (Spoiler alert...It's usually the "I shot that one" guy...)

7:15 TP is ESSENTIAL in the blind. You don't want to be walking around with only 1 sock on.
I prefer using underwear, and leaving socks on...lol.
Tiny Supreme 😂😂😂
Tommy Robinson 😂😂😂
After John claimed 5 he'd be sackin his gun !!
#1 rule. Reload before ever setting the gun down. Do a couple solo hunts. It is the chits.
Wish duck hunting was this fun in South Carolina right now all we are doin is enjoying the sunrise
I’m so envious of these field hunts, we just don’t have those opportunities, it’s either flooded rice, or flooded marshes. But if you don’t have water your kinda SOL for ducks. You can get the geese in a dry corn or rice field here though.

Can you explain why its bad to call out which one you shot? I've never duck hunted before
Dylan Miller it’s makes you sound like a greedy hunter and it’s really just bad sportsmanship in the duck world lol. Now if you for sure killed it and other people saw you do it then it’s okay to be like “hey guys I killed this one”
Hunter Leonard spot on brother
Limited out on drake mallards for the first time ever yesterday. We actually hit a 3 man limit. Here in MO you can only harvest 4 per man. It was such a good time. Blasting ducks all morning!
Must be nice to have birds. There are hardly any in LA
Smoked them by 7:10 yesterday in the timber in Arkansas and 7:13 today. All green
Ready for those mallards to get in MS so I can make a vid like this!
Me and you both. Now there is too much water and they are expecting the river to jump up to 41ft at Vicksburg on the 10th..
Ducks aren’t coming back down here.. temps in the high 60’s all next week
mattizyodaddy12 yeah I was just looking at the weather and on into Jan 20th still warm temps. But we all know you can’t predict the future and something might change.
Magnolia Flyways can’t kill em in bed. Doesn’t help that I started back at miss state today and can only hunt weekends from here on out
mattizyodaddy12 same here back at work and just gotta get it in when we can and that’s all we can do. You should check out Flyways Federation videos. Long but worth the watch and good info!!
if you are struggling to cover the area directly above the blind. use willows or trees that fan out and cover a good area. it really helps. then leave the grass on the bottom still.
I wish we could do this in SC literally one of your really bad hunts is a pretty good one where I’m from lmao
I can't really emphasize enough how true this statement is
Was waiting for this to finally upload!!
I always enjoy your videos but I don't think I enjoy watching your videos as much as you enjoy hunting to make the videos
Great hunt. I'm deployed your videos are keeping me motivated. Cant wait to back in Kansas for next season!
K B thank you for your service to our country. God Bless!
Never understand the "shouldering the gun wrong" until I got a new semiauto about a month ago. I couldnt hit nothing and I was wondering why.

Clay pigeons also

Damn johns claiming all your birds. More for you too shoot in the end lol
What kind of grass did you out on the blind
Is that a little TP action in the blind??? Been there before...
BOSS bismuth shotshells is where it’s at way better than steel or the TSS loads. Check them out highly recommended
Great video, love the combo hunts. You even caught some one pissing 17:35 in the vid lol
Awesome hunt. Tough times up here in NY for ducks or geese
Same here in Washington
do you ever eat the legs? you should try them. marinate a day or two then cook low in the crock pot for 12 hours; its gold. I slow cook my goose legs and grill my duck legs. I haven't tried slow cooking duck legs yet but im sure they would be good too.

Got that man a Polaris!!! He needs one badly.
What choke and brand shell do you use?
Heck of a hunt!!!
If you’ve ever shot a Retay what’s your opinion on it?
I've never shot ducks over a dry field like that. That looks like a darn good time.
What seats do you use in the A-frame?
4:12 you pillowcased that second one...
the fog may well have helped you more than you think. Probably helped more than sun to get the ducks all the way in. I do love hunting on clear days though.
The “I shot that one” guy ruined the video. What a scrub
I've been trying to condition myself that in a group situation shoot a farther distancing duck still in range first. That way the closer ducks trying to get out of the spread still are in gun range.
Good idea! I’ve been trying not to miss the close ones lol
What kind of duck call do you use ?
thats crazy pretty much most of the ducks ive seen have been widgeon here in Nevada
What state ya all hunting in today?
go to 2 45 and go to the setting at the bottom right of the screen and but it on 2 and lisen to it its pretty funny.
Haven’t been duck hunting this year but I’ve been deer hunting and making survival challenges eating armadillo and raccoon! 2020 is going to be epic for us!!
Texas Jungle it’s almost over ya jackass, get out there!!!
Yes...
Epic is one word for it
Is this in Kansas?
What kinda grass is that
That was a sweet hunt Josh! What do you guys have against having a dog? I don't hunt unless I can take mine... even in the yak, he's got a seat. I couldn't tell, did you pull the spinners once you started goose hunting?
Josh you sound like Troy Landry “ King of the swamp,Swamp People “ Chute em Chute em LoL
Dude seriously you have such good hunts it’s amazing to watch.

Haha the cali struggle is real! I feel ya brother
That was a legit hunt!!
Josh: “OhHhh mahhh Goushhh”
happy new year
I hate “I shot that one” guys
LSG_Raindrop dude... the worst no matter what group I end up hunting with. Someone says “I shot that one” and my eyes go cross eyed and I’m pretty sure I’ve had 3 strokes.
Derek Gee I hate when you know you pillowcased it and he claims it. Its the worse when it’s a band
Great video 👍🏼
I get two to three widgeon every hunt almost up here
Awesome video
What a frame blind is that?
Cash B it’s a Rogers A-frame blind, he has it pinned at the top. But when you click on it it says not available. I believe them to be discontinued by Rogers
They do have this one though. www.rogerssportinggoods.com/avian-x-a-frame-layout-blind
Love the title 😂
Nice video man ain’t even got to watch it to know.
Nice
I have never hunted a field. Only lakes.
Do you dip
About the one shell it is not as bad as forgetting your shotgun
Need to make a sprigs bro cap
Great Job 😎🤙🏾
The new Lucky Duck blind?
🙏🏽
I would think other ducks would like the fields too. Be nice to shoot pintail also.
Good wing shooting
What is your duck limit? My limit is 7.
You should try a public land hunttt
I hate to hurt their feelings but at 4:10 josh doubled
Man it looked like real amateur hours over there
Trent McKenzie What’d I miss? Looked solid from here.
Yup two people had one shell in their gun and one refused to shoot another mallard 😂
Trent McKenzie 😂😂 It’ll happen when it’s fast and furious!
Malwoodie
Why are you not keeping the skin on those ducks man?
Marc Feetham We knew these birds would be used for poppers and summer sausage. Otherwise we would have done the extra work. Skin on fat Mallards are the bomb.
All we get are widgeons and spoonies
Did you say 7 shot?!
Sehr gut mein freund 👍
Oh man brother. I know you’ve seen my comment before, but keep the skin/fat on those breasts. It’s waaaay better. I’ve been letting them sit in water for a couple days in the fridge to drain the blood and then marinading them in olive oil and Monterey steak seasoning from mccormicks. It’s my absolute favorite way to cook them now. I threw a mallard and a teal on the grill on New Years, the olive oil makes it go up in flames and Sears the outside pretty good. I like mine a medium rare and it tastes just like a filet mignot.
Good video but geese won’t decoy if you have robo decoys
987655 22 guess u missed the part where he said he was taking the spinners out for the geese lol
Susie slayer lol.
uggghhh i love field mallards i’m so jealous!!
also @4:15 i’m not one to shame people but that’s annoying...im pretty sure (because i’ve watched pretty much all our videos and i’ve seen when you are by yourself and you for sure get them i’ve seen a lot of birds die on your camera and i know what it looks like and you’re a good shot in my opinion you killed that bird) you smoked that one and someone was like he got that one or that was mine! kinda annoying but still an awesome video
С полем👍
Can’t leave comments on your live feed
I going public land marsh land duck huntin for my 14th birthday
That dude to the left shot almost all your birds
Mallard bros
There was literally a blood stain on the camera for a bit 😂
if only you would have had a pintail for your pile
Yeah finishers don’t work 😂
Why do you look down on the females ducks
we don't really but its beneficial to duck population not to kill the females but its also kinda a status symbol type thing to only kill males and they are generally more colorful and you are automatically more likely to focus on male because of that.
Field Mallards is an oxymoron in South Carolina 😅
Can u use a better camera to record your video so we can see what u shooting, the go pro just good for u filming yourself we can't see anything beyond the tip of your gun.
i mean 2 35
