Yea it sucks, miss the family, friends, the hogs and the ducks. Used to come back and hunt several times a year for a week at a time, but trying to save money til biz gets better. Being pissed at the quackers gets expensive.
I see 6 boats in the race, and 5 of them have just the operator on board. Is it just a small, fast boat with one guy from the group racing to a spot to claim it for the group, and then the rest of the group rides into the timber later on?
That is 100 percent correct! I was carrying all the gear in this video, loaded down my boat would run around 40mph, the boats that ran off from me were mid 50s boat with just the guy driving. Game and fish have really put a hurting on the racing, tho at this particularly WMA. The ditch at the start is now a no wake zone all the way to the bridge. G&F has also been flying drones and setting up in the creek to make sure there is no passing. Since creek is narrow for the most part, they have been writing unsafe boating tickets.
@@timberbosscalls Guess I'd be budgeting some beer $ for my race driver. Toss up for least appreciated responsibilities, boat racer, or guy calling the shot when ducks don't really wanna work the hole. Good stuff man.
Awesome video! Can’t beat it. I’m looking into scouting some spots this summer and trying to get a couple holes on some WMA’s to open up more opportunities for me. What can I expect going down during the summer on water levels? Will i be able to run my boat on the black river? You have seemed to be really nice in these comments answering questions. I’ve been searching for someone I can shoot some questions at.. not wanting any holes or not even what area to hunt! Just wondering what to expect! Thanks.
Man honestly I have never been to black river. I have heard the shoot them up that way, but also heard they have it a mess up there. Tons of boats all unloading at 4 am in a ditch and taking off. Im sure the game and fish will do something about it tho. At hurricane last year they were flying drones watching people to see if they passed it the creeks, and wrote tickets for passing/"unsafe boating". I know normally during summer the cor of engineering releases water and white river will stay close to 30ft normally which floods hurricane. I dont know what actually feeds black river or what damn if any it linked to it. I normally stay at hurricane,cache, or white river. We did hunt dagmar is 2017 everyday nearly and was killing big limits there.
@@timberbosscalls sure appreciate your help man! Gotta appreciate a guy willing to help a youngin out. May try and get ahold of ya one of these days and see if I can get some advice!
+timberbosscalls I've been drooling over one since the beginning of last duck season but I can't ever find the money to get one. Hopefully I can have one by September for teal season
@@timberbosscalls and y’all ain’t getting them Asian carp jumpn in your boats are ya on the cache,,use to hunt it hard 20 years ago,,I figured y’all was getting slammed with them carp by now
That boat there was a 550 havoc db with a 50 2 stroke yamaha with lightened flywheel. Ran 47 empty. That day there I was loaded with all the gear. So maybe hitting low 40s. My brother was one of the few boats in front of me.
I've decided to start hunting public land this season so I'm feeling pretty excited/ nervous for the boat races. obviously you can't speak for all public WMA's but how can y'all be so confident that you wont hit a sunken log with your outboard? I'm running a 15' grizzly with a 25hp outboard. I will have the motor on the tilt function, but is there anything else I can do besides scout? thanks - a public land novice
William Young I have hit logs running wide open and had the tiller pulled from my hand! Most deffenily will make your hair stand up!! Kill cord and life jackets are key! And during the summer I try to scout and remember any spot with stumps. You never know what floats in when the water gets high tho. Just have to keep your eyes open and hold on for the ride!
Hey man thanks for the quick response! hopefully Mississippi public land will treat me well. I definitely feel like i will have to pay my dues this first season lol
William Young until you get to know the WMA very well I would always start out in the back of the pack. In this video there was i bet close to 100 boats behind me. It's better to get in the back and not get hurt if you are not 100 percent comfortable with the boat and know your way around.
you can unload in the staging area at anytime, they have a tree with a sign on it and you can not pass the sign until 4am
You guys are hard core.
Nice driving.
Lawn and Order lawn services thanks bud
Too crazy. Here land of 10,000 lakes just pick a lake and go and you’ll get it all to yourself.
This wma is give and take 16k acres, when it used to be crazy you would have 200 boats in a bar ditch waiting to run at 4am! It used to get crazy!
Those bastards are crazy back there ,been there done it
If that don't fire you up your woods wet
I am from the PNW and i have always been wondered how deep is the water usually in flooded timber?
I normally like knee deep to shin deep. I have been in deeper tho. It all depends on river water level.
OK, just watched, now I'm freaking homesick and jonesing.
where you from?
Originally LR, in GA now. My duck boat has cob webs :-(... LOL
Where are you located?
I couldn't imagine living away from the duck woods

@@beardbrothersracing785 anytime bud!
I would love to hunt flooded timber it looks awesome but up here in Michigan we don't have to many flooded timber spots just a lot of marshes
josh allen I love it!
What kind of boat and motor are you running in this video
I have a 550 havoc with stock 50 Yamaha 2 stroke ... this morning I had 4 dozen decoys 6 blind bags and 6 guns. I was loaded down!!
my brother was the boat next to me on the right hand side he was running the hole.. he has a stock 50 yammer on a 556 edge
+timberbosscalls isn't the 550 only rated for a 40?
+Bruh Duck well man if you ain't cheating you ain't trying. I guess I have a special edition mine says for a 50 ;)
+timberbosscalls I've been drooling over one since the beginning of last duck season but I can't ever find the money to get one. Hopefully I can have one by September for teal season
is their like a certain time you can launch Ive seen alot of videos of these and trying to figure out the launching game??
4 am
chasing bubbles...
Thanks
Got to b a havoc or edge boat,,thing drives like it’s on pavement
550 Havoc with 50 2 stroke Yamaha. That morning I was loaded down with all the gear, loaded ran 42. Ran 47 just me.
@@timberbosscalls I have the same boat in an edge flavor,
@@clayton203 my brother had a 553 edge with ported merc that ran 63. It was so nasty!
@@timberbosscalls you don’t live in searcy do ya
@@timberbosscalls and y’all ain’t getting them Asian carp jumpn in your boats are ya on the cache,,use to hunt it hard 20 years ago,,I figured y’all was getting slammed with them carp by now
You guys are nuts, awesome video.
Season opens here tomorrow! Unfortunately we have no water!
@@timberbosscallshow long from conception of what you wanted till you were out on the water? Iam looking at these boats
@anthonykontos7931 wasnt very long i knew what I wanted. Back then Havoc only had a few models of boats. Now they are alot more to choose from.
I have to say, you hug the tree line like the channel isnt open haha
What boat and motor set up are you running
That boat there was a 550 havoc db with a 50 2 stroke yamaha with lightened flywheel. Ran 47 empty. That day there I was loaded with all the gear. So maybe hitting low 40s. My brother was one of the few boats in front of me.
That camera angle is crazy...
Had a go pro mounted right next to light bar.
Big big balls.Respect.
😂 thanks Rigg!
badass video Leonard!
thanks bud

@@timberbosscalls good advice right there
Drink heavily the night before, and pray.
When duck hunting requires a second pair of pants 😆
🤣 I always got them baby wipes!
