No Decoy Challenge on CA Public Land. Late season January 2024.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Do decoys really make a difference? I think so, but my buddy challenged me to a contest - Decoys vs. no Decoys on late season California ducks.
We hunt public land here in central ca, which is highly competitive. By the time the birds get to us, they have migrated through 3 states and two different countries. is jump-shooting the best way to go, or is a classic decoy setup still the most effective way to have success.

All that Sitka sure makes him a better hunter😂
For sure. :) It doesn’t matter how good you are. Just how good you look.
@@BadAtHuntingI agree we can’t let the ducks think we are poor.
When he walks back and says “limit of scaup” he’s holding a ring neck. Just a heads up
Yeah, my buddy was just trying to mess with me that day. :)
🤦🏻♂️ Know your birds guys!
@sorryimjustsorry thanks man. But he was only trying to mess with me. We both knew it was a ringneck, but he was trying to pass it off as a scaup, so he could have his ‘limit’.
The rest on the conversation was cut out from the final video.
I like your video , the guy who says no decoys and get birds very true
If i position within 100 yards of another hunting set up ,then i can use that set up ,taking advantage . I dont use decoys or calls ,only a river tube for deep water. I shot a limit of geese within 10 minutes last year in September by only being in position , i didnt even use waders because it was 60 degrees. Just jump in the water ,get wet ,and retreive the birds, go home. It was a shallow gravel pit that hunt every season, so it helped to already be confident and just run n gun a quick hunt.
Yeah, that makes sense.
nice video!!
Thanks man.
For late season i go no spinners and very little decoys 6-12 maybe. I also use a Duck butt pulsator to get some water motion seems to work pretty well.
I’ve heard mixed reviews about the pulsator. How do you like it? Is it reliable?
for the whisle and the drake mallard say zzgggggg super deep. I hunt norcal public land too
ducks always land in to the wind
Just FYI gentlemen if you do your scouting and go hunt where ducks naturally want to be you never have to use decoys or call! Been killing limits for 20 years just setting up where the ducks naturally want to go feed. Like the old saying keep it simple stupid.
For sure - if you can find them, that’s always the best. We hunt public land in CA that has hundreds of guys spread all over it. You don’t always get the spot you want.
For your drake call get a whistle call and just sit in your house and practice
Yeah for sure. I’m going to need to spend more time this offseason practicing. Any tips on how to do it better?
position in the field is more important , Billy Giaquinto legend caller if you watch his tapes you will become great check him out if your serious about becoming better
I’ve never heard of him, but I’ll have to check him out.
Bad year for Cali ducks hunt 😭
Yeah, it was rough. There weren’t very many birds around, at least that were near us.
Was this at mendota wildlife?
It’s my secret spot….that everybody else uses too. #publicland
sucks that cali didnt have a good season MS didnt either until the last two weeks we killed 200 birds in a week but when you sequence call try changing your notes up instead of the repetitive quack
Glad to hear things turned around for you guys.
Thanks for the tip too.
Maybe watch more RUclips videos about calling.
yeah, I'll have to work on it a bit more this offseason.
Dude is a 🤡. That’s a ringneck & limit on scaup is 2.
To improve at calling, one must put in time & practice. Not just going to magically happen overnight 😅
Thanks for the heads up. He knew what it was. He was just trying to mess with me- to say that he got his ‘limit’.
Obviously most of the conversation was cut from the video- since you can’t keep everything from 4 hours of filming in an 8 min video.
Sorry, but that call needs to go away.
I’m not the best at it, that’s for sure.
Just awful.
Sorry you didn’t like it. Hopefully the next one’s more interesting to you.
