Your Bud's Belgium auto 5 20 gauge was made 1966 or before- they quit the round knob stock in 1966. Absolutely most deadly duck guns and everything else I've ever owned. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks Clyde! Those A5 20s are some sweet handling little guns, really hope I can get my hands on one again soon! What kind of loads did your buddy shoot through his?
Your doggie is doing good. The fact that you she'll hold while you're shooting and dropping ducks is awesome. She has a great tempermant. Good eating 😋 those Teal. Thanks for sharing 👍
Nothing better than watching your puppy emerge from the cattails with the bird in tow!! She is such a special dog. Enjoy! Excellent video, Thomas. Local ducks have pushed out of NE SoDak, but am optimistic we'll see some coming down here this weekend was things cool down pretty dramatically up north. Let me know if you are interested in getting Rue on some pheasants later this fall/early winter.
Thanks Lucas! She was invaluable up in Alaska with all the thick cover in the spots we were hunting! I'm hoping to be heading down to SD in a couple weeks and would love to link up while I'm down there
She seems to have a great nose ! That’s one thing you can’t teach ! She’s going to be a great dog , feel lucky because it doesn’t always work out that way !
Thanks Bret! She's a fun one to spend a day in the marsh with and has been invaluable in helping us find birds that would've otherwise been lost. Blessed to have her by my side on these hunts!
As always great video, Thomas.Nice job with Rue...point being Rue's structure is already in place. (our dog's structure is no better than OUR structure...😅Mike G.) On allowing her to go on the Pintail sailor amen .The object is to get all birds picked up. What's up with Leroy ?
Thanks Don! Leroy is finishing up his time at the trainers and I'm hoping to pick him up within the next week! Very excited to see how far he has progressed in the last couple months!
Haha I think Jaden threw some blanks in my gun on that one! Much appreciated about the dog work, really felt like this was the hunt where things came together for Rue and I
She actually belong to Cory Loeffler, who I work for, and I just had the pleasure of getting to hunt her in Alaska. Not sure where he got her from, but I know she'll be having puppies sometime this winter and I'd highly recommend checking out that litter. I got a pup from her last one and while I haven't got to hunt him yet he's been showing lots of promise in training!
Rue is Cory Loeffler’s dog, I work for him and he was up in Alaska this summer so he left her up there so that I could hunt with her. I have a pup out of her last litter that is at the trainer right now

@@HokeOutdoors look at Browning BDX with that humpy, they like them...Shoot great out of mine, you'll love that gun man....
Roo is a great dog Thomas. She'll get even better as the season progresses. She marks well and blind retrieves well. Be careful with the E collar.
Thanks Steve! She’s definitely been improving on every hunt despite my deficiencies as a handler!
Did you buy her already trained?
Wow Rue is really coming together well. She is tremendous at marking down birds. Staying pretty steady now also.
Thanks Mike! She’s been a blast to have as a hunting partner, especially with her running steady and getting back into the swing of things
This is one of the best series on RUclips for ducks.
Thanks Tristan! Really appreciate you watching it!

Thanks Ryan! Not sure when I’ll be back this year but when I’m back over there we’ll have to line something up with Dylan!
What were y’all shooting at on the first volley! Haha. Amazing dog work with out a collar. Love the colba vids!
Haha I think Jaden threw some blanks in my gun on that one! Much appreciated about the dog work, really felt like this was the hunt where things came together for Rue and I
@@HokeOutdoors Haha. Wipe up some all season content and get an ammo sponsor bro. Gods Grace fellas, if it flies it dies!
Props to Rue nice hunt
Thanks much! It would've been a frustrating day without her, I have a feeling we would've been spending hours looking for our downed birds
Man do I miss my yellow lab Haley. Made hunting ducks so much more fun!
Wow dogs super 👌
Thank you!
E collar training works wonders
No doubt!
What camera setup do you use when you hunt. Camera,mounts, mics, etc?
Let's go!
Hope you enjoyed it!
If you find your way back to Virginia/NC area hit me up, would love to hunt with you!
Thanks brother, will do! Just not quite sure when I’ll be back on the east coast this year
How does the shooting times work up there? Nice video
Thanks much! Shooting times are the same as the lower 48. 30 minutes before sunrise until sunset
Hey!! Id like to know where you got your pup from??
She actually belong to Cory Loeffler, who I work for, and I just had the pleasure of getting to hunt her in Alaska. Not sure where he got her from, but I know she'll be having puppies sometime this winter and I'd highly recommend checking out that litter. I got a pup from her last one and while I haven't got to hunt him yet he's been showing lots of promise in training!
Im a poor hunting dog trainer and already failed twice.... any tips or advice?
So where did you get rue?
Rue is Cory Loeffler’s dog, I work for him and he was up in Alaska this summer so he left her up there so that I could hunt with her. I have a pup out of her last litter that is at the trainer right now
dindt bring at least leash for your dog? interesting... she's overall a good girl though ;)
Do you live in Alaska?
No, I was just up there during September last year
So Rue is not Corey’s dog Rue correct? You just named her the same as Corey’s dog Rue??? I’m confused lol
This is Cory's Rue. He was up in Alaska all summer so he left her up there so that I could hunt with her
Dude i lose it when you yell your dogs name, sounds like a weird moan 😂
Hahaha I thought it sounded pretty normal 🤣
so this pond is HIDDEN?? from who from what?
From anyone trying to scout the area, the only way to put eyes on that pond is to walk all the way into it because of the bullrush surrounding it
Posting your spots is never a great idea.
You’re not wrong, I felt like the images shown were cropped enough that where someone would have a tough time figuring out where we were though
@@HokeOutdoorsyeah, I knew where it was just because I hunt the area but I can see what you are saying.
