- It’s no secret that Missouri is one of the best states for shooting mallards. Ducks that nest in both the Mississippi and Central Flyways funnel through here on their way to the Arkansas Delta, and the habitat is great for greenheads. In this episode, Sean Weaver is joined by Logan Williamson, First Lite’s Waterfowl Category Manager. It’s cold, late-season, and the goal is simple: big flocks of mallards, greenwing teal, and wigeon on the big water.

@@philiprohs No comments like that are why everyone else makes fun of the fudds that wear Sitka.

Great to see the sets on public land. Glad my boat isn’t the only one causing troubles early in the morning at the ramp.
That early start wont get it here in Indiana, we dont have the area that Missouri has sometimes you camp out all night just to be in a spot. love the show
There’s only a couple spots like this in MO. Everywhere else that’s decent hunting you have to draw for a spot
Someone start a petition to get Sean a reliable mud motor PLS
This is my kind of duck hunting! Cold, wet, broken shit and lots of compromises but in the end shooting a few ducks
Catching them on the way back to water to get some grit in their gizzards at around 10 or 11 AM is always sweet. That time is great for mid-day flight on geese as well.
"I'm a teal hunter now" yes. Yes you are. And welcome. As someone who shoots almost primarily teal, because of where I live, season dates, and when different birds get here, welcome to the joy that is teal. :-)
teal is the best eating.
Pro tip on batteries... keep em inside, keep them in the truck cab on the way there, and toss er' in at the ramp. Wisconsin life hacks 🤣 also, a squirter of starting fluid and a jumper pack on the battery help push through hard starts
Starting batteries for your boat with that cold should be brought in to a garage over night. At 0 degrees 80 percent of the energy is locked up in the cold and not useable. With a 100 amp battery that means you only have 20 useable amps for starting a cold engine with thick cold oil in the crankcase.
I get this is over a year old, but bit of advice for the other duck hunters watching this, get you a jump pack and keep it in your truck and keep it charged and warm. At minimum keep you some jumper cables. Detach the trailer from the truck and jump your boat battery and boat motor off the truck. Run a fuel-water separating filter and keep the water dumped out of it so it doesn't freeze in the filter or your fuel lines. Non-ehtanol gas, and keep your tank full to the brim so you minimize condensation. If you still use a two-stroke, use high quality, synthetic or synthetic blend oil. Keep everything lubed. Just those few things will keep your motors more reliable in the cold.
You are the only person I have seen have this much trouble with a boat.
I like deer & bear hunting but I really love duck hunting. Great shows.
OMG that last flock was so sweet!! Good camera work in that sun sir. 🤙🏼
Problems with mud motors and other random issues popping up is what grinds my gears. Nothing worse than planning everything out perfect and then getting setback by something like that
Another solid episode lads. love it
Me anxiously waiting for that Arkansas timber episode…
Motor is just cold, put a blanket and tarp over it when you get out of the water. Don't let it sit outside all night in the cold
I would bet money that the exhaust valve is out of adjustment on that motor and contributing to the hard starting.
Good times...looks like someone forgot to reload lol. The dreaded and unmistakable 'click' as you pull the trigger.
Making me more anxious for September
I have absolutely had to leave the bay ramp to go get a battery.
Bring a can of starting fluid with you helps to start cold 🥶 motors
Muy excelentes cazerias amigos saludos chebres caza 👌👍😉
My friend calls them “a chip of a rainbow” falling from the sky in January.
Way to clear a jam and still get your bird at 23:28
I’m waiting to see a good river sand bar hunt and a good moist soil unit hunt from a Midwest layout style marsh boat.
I keep a jump box in my boat for that exact reason!
Good ole slow drive
😂
Nice show! Nice hunt!
No backup pull start. On a duck boat?
Good hunting boys!
Meateater never disappoints
Awesome stuff
Running in waders is always so awkward
Truman Lake ?
This channel losing it's quality without the man Steven Rinella.
This guy looks more like Joel Strickland than Joel Strickland
what waders do you guys have??
at this point, they should just use paddles and ditch the motor
Truman lake ?
I think you just need to get a new engine Friend, broke down more than once this season.
In the intro y'all state, he's the "first lite waterfowl manager". What EXACTLY does this channel AND episode claim?
Does it mean your waterfowl conservationists or are claiming your ground?
Why the PLAY ON VERNACULAR?
This potential hunter and former Combat Infantryman distinguishes between the two.
Where is the "EAT" part of MEATEATER?
Some people love complaining.
How many times you want to watch them grill duck? Lol
For these guys it’s best to skip the “cooking”.
🇪🇨🇪🇨👍🤝
Note to self: don’t buy a pro-drive
Quality content from the guys but camera man could use some serious work shooting waterfowl..
Are these guys absolutely terrible at diagnosing motor issues, or is Meateater being over dramatized by producers?
Can't blame a TV producer/hunting guide not to be a mechanic. Most people here in the netherlands hardly know how to check their oil level.
@@silketimber This is America not the Netherlands. Also Steve had mechanical issues with his boat on a Meateater episode while duck hunting in Alaska.
These episodes are making me so hyped for the fall migration
Duck hunters don't! Build your hide like this - see Hunting the Green, shooting ducks on the shore. Then your swing isn't obstructed by branches. Still love it.
Great video! Cant wait for this szn!
I think the last 3 films he has had motor problems....😂😂do we need a go fund me
Being able to call the guys at ProDrive is always nice. Best in the buisness!
What lake?
Man I feel like I was watching myself on tv….I’ve been there a time or two with a mud motor that won’t start at a boat ramp on a cold January day.
*Looking at the Swiss cheese that used to be a duck* "Ahh... I think this one is yours..." Every new episode, struggles to triumph brings such fond memories of how much it SUCKED the entire time we were out doing battle with Nature. Can't get enough!
Some ducks live to be over 20 years old. That kind of changes my thoughts on them. Still will hunt them, but I thought they lived maybe 5 years, tops.
I would be shocked if any lived that old in the wild.
@@D_Boone they do! Rinella either shot a banded pintail or someone told him that during a show that they had shot a pintail that was 21. Now that I'm thinking though, maybe he said 12. Will have to go find the video
@@Sundog0811 that was a mallard. The average age for a wild mallard drake is 2 years, and hens like a year and a half due to predation.
I shot a snow goose in Texas that was banded in Canada thirteen years before.
had my truck slowly slide down towards me when i was winching the boat up on an icy ramp after a hunt one time.
Love the new show. Only suggestion is to get better shots of the ducks coming in. Good job guys
What puffy hoodie is he wearing
Not a good look for pro drive. You had motor issues last season as well.
That’s why you buy a gator tail lol
Looks a lot like Truman but I could be wrong
awesome hint.
Thanx
Need sum Steve
Listen to the podcast.
First one
Those poor ducks. What did they do to you? They deserve to live without the fear of being tricked and gunned down by thugs.
Hmmmm ducks are tasty
Lol cry somewhere else
Beat it nerd.
Cope and seethe
Why? They live with the “fear” of starving to death, freezing to death, getting picked off by Eagles, fox, coyote, even large fish. Their lives will not change at all if there were no hunters, and ducks in general would be far worse off in a conservation sense. This is just a argument of ignorance.
