    When I saw the video length of 27:49 I almost skipped watching. But after starting to watch the video that 27:49 went by quickly! That's because Shawn is very good at editing and made this duck hunting adventure video entertaining from start to finish. Bravo to Shawn for a great job!

      Same here! When I saw the length, at first I was going to put off watching it. But I decided to watch it anyway. And I'm glad I did! The editing was really great. I felt like I was really there.

    Those puddle jumper planes make my sphincter go super tight. I’ve had to fly on them for my job a couple of times, and the ride can be *really bumpy* when it’s windy. 👀

      Alaska bush pilots are crazy. They fly little bitty tail-draggers and there's video of them landing in forest clearings and then taking back off from them. By comparison puddlejumpers feel like big sturdy jetliners!

    Shawn, this was your best video to date, thanks for sharing the trip. I can’t believe these guys go out in the cold, rough seas in Zodiacs!
    You mentioned hunting from Maine to Florida, not sure if you’ve hunted in NJ, but there are ducks in the bays of the barrier islands. I’m guessing these are considered salt water ducks.
    I rarely watch long videos, but the pace and editing kept things moving. Thank you!

    Lived in Alaska for over a decade. Lots of low-budget hunts and fishing expeditions. Wouldn't trade those experiences for the world. You had a great time on a high-risk hunt. Of all that Alaska has to offer, I enjoyed Silver Salmon (Coho) the most. Great fighting fish and great tasting smoked or baked. Halibut tastes better, but isn't as fun to catch. Like dredging up sheets of plywood from the ocean floor. I've taken hundreds of geese, spruce hens, and ducks, but fish are really where my heart is.
