Incredible work!!!

[@truoutdoors]

Thank you!

[@TugLifeFisherman]

What an awesome experience for your first time. Nice cooking session, too. Great video

[@truoutdoors]

Thanks man! Definitely was a great first time experience. I'm so used to not being successful and struggling that I was gonna be happy with just 1 bird. To get my limit was unbelievable.

Great shooting, I just did my first season as well and man am I hooked! Great video

[@truoutdoors]

Thank you! How was your season? I'm hooked too, it was way more fun than I thought it would be lol.

Liver on the wimng..........a Spoonie!

[@truoutdoors]

uh yes 👍

[@tradeordie]

how was the duck?!

[@truoutdoors]

The duck breast meat was delicious. Cooking them medium rare is definitely the way to go. No gamey or weird flavors in the meat or fat, super tender meat. The legs and wings were small and have tougher meat, cooking them at a low temp for longer resulted in some tender meat though.

Know any good coyote spots in cali?

[@truoutdoors]

Not really. I don't target them but I've seen their scat out there or spotted one on just about every piece of public land that I've hunted.
