- Matt is out on a solo kayak hunt to try and decoy some ducks and geese. Mallards show up first and put on a show. Eventually the geese started flying as well and decoyed right in. It was a beautiful morning of duck and goose hunting!

You wanna know what’s kinda funny. I feel like I’m happier with 2 birds than I am with 5. Sometimes with 5 I feel annoyed I didn’t limit but with 2 I’m thankful I even got one. That has been something I’ve noticed this season.
That's an interesting point. Any day you get a bird is a great day in my book but I can understand where you're coming from.
Same here 😂😂
Bout a month and half deep into waterfoul. Haven't limited, my pb is 5. Any day with flocks over head is a good day
Except when you miss. I hate missing
Best waterfowler on Utube . Great video quality!
Appreciate it Paul!
I've said it myself. This channel sits solid at my #1 waterfowl channel. Followed by Hoke, with Duck gun at 3rd. Matt just has awesome skills, and can put a better video in a 10 minute package than the music blasters can put in 30 minutes. Best content out there in TH-cam waterfowl territory.
One heck of a hunt Matt! Keeping me entertained before our second split comes in!
Appreciate it! Good luck after the split
Great hunt Matt!
Thanks Titus!
Man, nice hunt. Can’t complain about 5 geese and 4 ducks. Sometimes the shooting gets off and it’s frustrating but it will get better 👍🦆
Thanks! Yep, just have to keep at it
Ran out of boxes of 28 shells? 😮. Them big honkers you got there. Nice work.
Haha nope. Wasn't sure how any geese would work and wanted to be prepared if they stayed farther out.
I really enjoy your videos. I have duck hunted for 50+ years and getting a little long in the tooth to hunt much anymore but i do enjoy watching.
Appreciate that Ernest
Excellent video!! One of the best I've watched in a while. Love the close ups and the recaps. Keep them coming!!
Appreciate it!
Мэттью, привет 👋
Приятно видеть охотника, который не делает лишних выстрелов👌
Великолепная охота 👍🔥
Thanks!
Some days the duck hunt turns into a goose hunt, Nice double at the end Matt! Barry
Thanks Barry!
Makes me want to waterfowl hunting, good video. I had a stroke two weeks ago. No hunting for me for a while.
Sorry to hear that! Appreciate it
Damn man, you're in paradise.
And here I am with my mouth watering. You don't know how much I want to experience all of this. Greetings from Brazil
Thanks! It's a blessing
Love your solo hunts!
Thanks!
One hell of a hunt Matt!!
Thanks!
I’ve duck hunted growing up but now that I’m in college I’m struggling to find spots. For now I get my duck fix watching these videos. Awesome video, least to say it made me jealous to get back out there
Thanks! Keep at it!
What part of Oklahoma do you hunt? I hunt Southern New Jersey and I’m just blown away about how different our wetlands are.
Great hunting dude, not always easy on your own. What's your camera setups? I've done little bits and bobs filming in the past but thinking about getting more setup this season coming in May
Thanks! Sony NX80, Shotkam, GoPro Hero 8 and 11
Probably my favorite duck hunter on TH-cam right here. Just a man chasing a limit. Hate the big channels that just blast music over 100’s of ducks gettin cut.
Exactly!
Appreciate it!
Great hunt Matt, I think I shoot my 20 better than my 12 lots of the time, and was thinking the same for you and your 28 on this hunt, we know more pellets isn't always more ducks!!
Thanks! I think you're right!
Nice video again.
Thanks!
Hey Matt, I know this has probably been asked before, but why do you tap on your gun right before you're about to shoot? Loved the vid, looked like a fun hunt!
Thanks! Turns on the Shotkam
I have faith you been well. Great video btw, love ya channel. Question for ya, may I ask what cameras you use (shotgun & head cam)
Thanks! Shotkam Gen 4 and GoPro Hero 8
I was thinking that you are gonna catch that smart brave duck by hands , like old times DUAL BATTLE
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I almost got that close
I recognize this spot from another video
I've hunted it a time or two
Why do you tap your shotgun stock before shooting?
Activates the Shotkam
Great hunt !
Thanks!
Matt, why do you knock on the stock of your guns before your shoot?
I could be wrong but I believe it’s to activate the shot cam.
Activates the Shotkam
Супер відео і супер полювання!
Thanks!
Only missing one thing
You need a dog!!!
No room on the kayak for a dog
Wouah Ou! Spectacular scenery! Versailles Sons et Lumieres! Don't apologize for your shooting, didn't see any crippling! The limits are not the goal so you appreciate what nature has to offer to you! Thanks again for sharing your solo hunts on kayak, your dedication is exemplary, you make really be with you in the cattails, seeing the birds landing in the spread of decoys, the corrections needed to reach your quarry, you don't cheat! And you exchange all the informations about everything, very educational too... Bravo! I can't wait for the next one, awesome!
Appreciate that!
That first goose must have known Matt and knows Matt doesn't water swat so he figured he was safe lol. Great hunt and outstanding/ beautiful footage.
Haha thanks!
QQ from a new viewer: What’s your preferred ammo for this type of hunt? Didn’t see it on the hunter gear. Thanks for the content!
Appreciate it! I was using Winchester Super X 4s, 2s, and BBs on this hunt.
Beautiful hunt area. Great photography and good looking ducks and geese. How does your decoy sled do when pulling those goose decoys? Is it the Shappell Jet sled that is 54 inches long?
Thanks Don! It works pretty well. High winds can make it tougher to pull. It's 66"
As someone who hunts if you can get something to come inches from your decoys, I wouldn’t think it would be in un sports man like to water swat a bird unless you strive to only shoot it like that.
Wonderfully created video, amazing hunt, and pretty good shooting...:)
Thanks!
I would say that beautiful sunrise and the way them first group of ducks dropped in. It would have been a good enough day for me but you turned out. Have a great day and quit beating yourself up or not that duck limit. It was a great hunt. Beautiful morning! Just got to enjoy God's creation. Imagine how many people don't get to see a beautiful sunrise like that over water because they sit in the house too much. Count your blessings for being able to see this sunrise
Well said Dan! I still had a great time, just a little frustrated in the moment.
Thanks for letting us know you are human when it comes to shooting, I was starting to think I was the only one to miss. Goose limits fill the freezer in a hurry, great hunt.
Haha thanks Larry! Already made them into summer sausage
Nice hunt
Thanks!
Great hunt! Wish I was there with you!
Next time!
Great video again! You set a good example with your ethical hunting.
Appreciate it!
That was one of the better sunrises I've seen in a while, heck of a hunt to go along with it too!
Thanks Thomas! It was a gorgeous sunrise
You're far more patient than I am. I definitely would have been all over that coot duo and had dinner served 🍽️
Haha coots are safe in spread
I absolute LOVE you videos , you do a fantastic job.
I like the way you promote letting hens live , I like the way you make your videos , I like the no profanity, no stupid stuff it’s an A+ for me.
As a guy who been waterfowling for 32 seasons now I appreciate what you do.
( I also guided full time for 4 years in Arkansas and Missouri )
I’m not saying I don’t shoot hens , don’t want people thinking I’m perfect but here is what I do have a problem with.
Everyone thinks you need to jump birds off the water before you shoot them to give them a “ Sporting chance “
Let’s break it down.
USUALLY if you shoot them on the water you have wayyyy less cripples , usually one shot will do it and you get less injured birds or suffering birds , you dispatch them quickly and in a hurry.
That goose you hit , then missed and killed it on the last shot could have been dispatched and he woulda never heard the gun go off.
Not only would this have been more humane and took you two less shots but they bird woulda never felt a seconds pain.
What if you wouldn’t have killed that bird on the third shot ?
Would you have found him ? Yes , the shot was lethal.
Would the goose had suffered ? Absolutely !
I’m not complaining in any way shape of fashion , what I’m trying to get across to everyone reading this is……..
1 : jumping a bird off the water and shooting it as soon as its wings stretch out is NOT anymore sporting than shooting it on the water.
2 : a bird feels less pain if killed instantly while water swatting , shell consumption goes down along with cripple rates.
I’d really love to see you promoting water swatting , tell me what I’ve said doesn’t make sense.
I bet the Indians didn’t flush birds before they shot them , I guarantee market hunters didn’t.
At the end of the day you’re out there to harvest food as quickly and humanely as you can and water swatting is the way to accomplish that.
Get you another when they get up , get two more , but your duck harvest rate will also go up with a quick kill on the water.
Please show your viewers the best way to dispatch these animals.
Gun safety is also number one and walking through a muddy marsh with gun in hand flushing a bird on uneven footing is also a hazard.
Again , not complaining , just shedding light.
Keep up the good work and start swatting that water
Appreciate it! In hindsight, probably should've taken him on the water. It's my personal preference to get them flying most times though.
@@HighPrairieSportsmen it’s your preference because everyone has always said it was the only way to do it to be more
“ Sportsman like “
A true sportsman wants a clean quick kill , think about it.
Jonathan hill makes so much sense to me!!
I have hunted for 50+ years in Arkansas and it’s better to get them in the air I think. It’s not that easy to cleanly kill ducks on the water,especially with steel shot. That’s my two cents worth.
@@ernesthercher5193 odds are better killing then on the water than in the air and if you don’t kill them on the water , they’ll be in the air shortly enough and you can try it again.
You will also never find a pellet in the breast meat when shot on the water.
Always enjoy it Matt!
Appreciate it Chris!
I still say you had a pretty darn good day. I have days where I don't good shoot also.
Oh yeah! It happens to everyone
Your shooting in all the videos I’ve seen is about 95 per cent !
Just an off day
Great hunt and video bud, what shell's do you use
Thanks! I was using Winchester Super X 2 3/4" 4s, 2, and BBs
Kool Beans!!!😊
👍🏻
That first goose deserved to get away lol that is why I will never jump a bird after it lands. Say what you want I will not be desperately trying to jump a bird for “the sport of it” not gonna happen in my blind. But to each their own Great hunt in the end for sure!
Yeah. In hindsight, I should've just taken him on the water.
Do you use lessers or full size goose floaters? Awesome video.
Thanks! I had a dozen of both out.
Awesome job on the videos. I live in New England and our area only allows us to take 2 geese, it is incredible you get to harvest 5! That big flock of ducks is probably the most ducks I have seen here in the last 3 years. This year has been incredibly poor for ducks.
Thanks!
Would be good stuff if there was a dog involved. No dog, I would stay home in bed.....😞
I'm the dog
I understand your argument but as a dog lover having a retriever makes hunting better. I have been on any great hunts with just me and my Lab.
Matt, you should do a catch, clean cook video or two. And if you have mounts, maybe a tour of your taxidermy! I am an avid waterfowl hunter from MN, and would love to get ideas/see some taxidermy. Either way, nice hunt!
I'm planning on it. Just have to wait to get my last bird back.
@@HighPrairieSportsmen I look forward to it. I love your content, and if you ever find yourself wanting to do a hunt in MN, just reach out. I have a few spots to get you on some northern birds, both early and late season!
Great video....
Thanks!
What decoys are you running
Final Approach
How are you going to not water swat that goose
Should've in hindsight
I mean they weren’t banded.. but nice work buddy!
😂 these Oklahoma birds are lacking on bands
🤣🤣🤣
Hey Matt, what GoPro do you run? Thanks man!
Hero 8 and 11
What shotgun are you using? Gauge?
Remington Versamax 12 ga
What do u wear for gear?
What do you mean? Waders or something else?
@HighPrairieSportsmen what do u wear for upper body gear like coat/jacket and what vest do u wear
@@elijahwilhite1439 I just wear some merino wool under layers, a Final Approach hoodie, and then a Final Approach vest.
@@HighPrairieSportsmen thanks
you know midway sells new beads?
Never needed one
@@HighPrairieSportsmen I can 100% guarantee that if you had the muzzle bead your shooting would improve with that gun and if you also added the mid rail bead even better. its a sub con. thing that our brain likes to line things up
@wagner24314 it was just an off day. I haven't had a bead on it for years and never had an issue
If your gun fits you don’t need a bead. If your gun doesn’t fit then no number of beads will help. Gun fit is paramount. Trap guns have a higher comb to make them shoot higher at a rising target. It’s all about where your gun shoots. Your eye is the back sight.
