My first year going hard Duck Hunting found it as a release to get out was my military buddies to help with my PTSD. Too bad Wisconsin is already coming to an end I found your channel halfway in the season lotta good information thank you
I haven’t been duck hunting this season, I’ve actually never been duck hunting. I’m very interested in learning how to though, and your channel seems like an awesome place to get tips and tricks for beginner and veteran duck hunters!
Well yeah, I hunted teal 14 of the sixteen day early season here in Guntersville Alabama - and four days on early goose - Just blessed - “ Living Loved” !! Thanks Joel 😊
I live in southern Idaho and been hitting the blinds almost every day I've had off since opening day. Thanks for all the content you have really helped me improve my duck hunting.
4 BW teal &1 GW teal this past Sat. Refuge nearby in Texas had a wildfire and pushed a lot of the birds out and into our area. Looking forward to a busy morning!
Lots of hunting this year our season in Wisconsin ends in 2 weeks, got a decent mix of teal, woodies, mallards, and a few divers and geese. Not nearly as many ducks in the area we hunt this year as a normal year. Keep up the great videos.
I've been three times in Missouri middle zone far, all on public land 1) 4 man limit on teal season opener. 2) 13 ducks, 5 species on duck season opener. 3) 3 mallards at shooting light on season day 2, and then didn't see another duck. My 2 year old GSP has been leaps and bounds better than year 1 so far. I couldn't be more proud of her! Then Southern Illinois opens on Thanksgiving day where I grew up hunting and still go back to a lot to hunt with family. Good luck this season Joel!
I hunt in the Central Valley of California and have been hunting every weekend since the opener at a small private club. Been watching your videos for a while and enjoy the content.
Been out 6 times so far. I hunt in upstate NY and this is my 2nd year hunting waterfowl. Being a newbie your videos have helped out a ton thanks for the great content!!
I have hand painted the majority of my decoys. I bought them in bulk and have painted. Really fun can’t wait to shoot over them. Hunting South West Tennessee. Season opener next week.
I’ve been duck hunting since the opener here in Illinois. I go to school here in Macomb at Western Illinois University, and try to get out as much as I can between work and school! Huge fan of the channel and have been for a while!
Been loving it here in Québec ! Been on 15 duck and goose hunts ! And it's still going strong !🦆🦆👌❤ thanks for all your great content very helpful! love learn more about duck hunting all the time ! Keep it up
Arkansas season starts tomorrow. Will only get to hunt a couple of hours, granddaughter has softball game at 10:30. Liked your video on Lifetime Decoys, ended up buying a dozen. They look great. Thanks for the info on them. Hope everyone has a great and safe hunting season.
I’ve been teal and wood duck hunting so far this year. I hunt mainly in northwest Tennessee around the Reelfoot lake area. Mostly hunting on small watersheds. Haven’t killed anything yet this year unfortunately. Big duck season will be opening here before too long and I don’t know if I could be much more excited! Thanks for the vids Joel, you’re my #1 duck hunting channel!!
Been hunting Oregon, The Willamette valley mostly, the lower Columbia and coastal waterways in the north half of the state. Trying to take full advantage of this pandemic and my abundance of time off. Got my first wood duck yesterday! Ended up with 2 drakes when the dust settled.
Our season doesn’t start till end of Nov. Do most of my hunting in Indiana some goose hunting in Illinois. I always repaint old decoys. Their to expensive to throw out. God Bless Joel and keep them coming.
I got to hunt the Coastal Zone opener in Louisiana, with my hunting partners last Saturday. Opened the season with a Red Head of all things. Hunting the East Opener in the morning (11/21) and bringing my wife's cousins teenage son for his second opening day hunt. Don't know if it will beat last year's opener, but will be fun none the less. Mainly hunt Louisiana, but have made a few goose hunts in Texas. My goal is to start travelling every couple of seasons and try something different. Good Luck and stay safe on the Arkansas Opener!
Whew I always love it when you drop a new video! Just hunted today, got out about 12 times this year and primarily hunt Lake Champlain, Vermont! That hoodie is awesome!
Been out a bunch this year! First season here in New Hampshire! Mostly getting mallards, and I got a woody early season. Loving my new expensive hobby 🦆🦆
Went out about 4 times had a great opener for veterans and the actual opener since then the weathers been blue bird and consistently in the 60’s. Central Kansas has been tough we need to get some colder weather up north to push the birds down here.
I hunt Minnesota lakes and my season is almost over. I bought one of those hoodies...it’s very comfortable and it has a built in COVID face covering ! Bonus !
Been hunting since middle of October. My sons and I hunt in North Idaho. Thanks for the great idea. I have some old pintail hen decoys that I Am going to repurpose this weekend.
I hunt in Minnesota and have been done hunting for almost a month due to everything freezing up. Its been 1 of the shortest seasons ever that I can remember
Been hunting since the end of September. Next weekend is the end of Minnesota duck season. Hunted couple times in the corn field but mostly water. It’s been a great season. I am sad it is almost over.
We hunt sandhill crane, tundra swan, puddle ducks, pacific brant, speckle belly's, lessers, and cacklers on the Seward Peninsula of Alaska. Spring hunts as well as late summer and early fall.
We are about half way through our second season split, 2 mallard limit(only 1 hen) made it easy to limit out solo opening day for me up here in New Hampshire! Love the videos, thanks!
I haven’t duck hunted yet this year but big duck opener here in Alabama comes in the day after thanksgiving. I do the majority of my hunting in Alabama since it’s where I live but I normally take trips every year with my friends. We are going to Louisiana this year!
I turned some old storm fronts I had laying around into black ducks. They work really well even though we don't have black ducks in Washington State. I have hunted several times but my season has all but ended last week after my dog torn his cruciate ligament.
Great suggestions. We use homemade decoys that one of the guy's father made back in the 60-70s from a downed white cedar tree. Most are oversize and all are painted flat/matte black with an orange-yellow bill. They work better than the plastic store bought decoys but weigh a lot more. A little black paint once a year and they are good to go.
Mine and my buddys duck hunting season is over, there's about a foot of snow where I'm from witch in northern saskatchewan. And we do our duck hunting around Central saskatchewan and the last hunt we went on was a nice hunt.
I live and hunt in NY State I finally got to go duck hunting this year with my friends up north it had been about 10 years the last time I got to do that.
Our season opener is next Saturday. Then the following Saturday till end of January. Normally hunt in good ol Tennessee. The mountain north east part that is. Where birds are few and far between lol. But we typically take a trip at least to west Tennessee but the past 2 years we have went to Missouri. I think I may start a shooting videos about not getting limits and the real struggle of duck season lol. I decided to paint my decoys 2 years ago. It was fun and interesting but it took me around 2 months to paint them. Kinda became a perfectionist with them. Good video
Perfect video timing, I was just thinking about painting some old decoys to look like coots. I also hunt in Arkansas but have to work opening day but will be going out Sunday morning
My son and I hunt primarily in Pueblo Colorado on public land. We just went Friday and my son got his first Mallard. We will be moving to Arkansas as my son has committed to Harding University to play baseball! We can’t wait to move!
I hunt in Utah and have had a few good hunts so far. Great vid on repainting some dekes. I repainted a bunch of goose decoys over the summer that turned out really well.
I really love your channel and I have learned a lot of tips I only got the hunt here in North Dakota about five times before everything froze up and the birds headed south!!
Been out 2 times this season finally got some good windy weather Wednesday but not many ducks down yet here in California. Ended up with 1 gadwall no complaints here.
Texas DFW area Haven't hunted yet. low numbers in my area. I'm doing what this video is about. repainting and new rigging. just got 2 more baby mojos, now giving me 4. I cant wait for 2nd season. hopefully it will be cooler
Hunt Northern Utah marsh been out about 20 days so far. Love getting birds to commit and watching my daughter hunt her first season! Great job on the videos!
Hey Joel, I live and hunt in New Brunswick Canada. The season started on october 1st for us. Been a great fist season with our 16 month old yellow lab Gunner! Next year we will bring his little sister(4month old) Remi out with us as well!
I have duck hunt 2-3 times a week since our season opened in California. I hunt primarily Southern California but I do venture out to Nothern California & Texas. I hunt alot at & around the Salton Sea.
Northern California lots of early spec's but won't work at all. Big grinds get up in the morning going to safe zones, hardly any ducks down from up North (Wash, Oregon). No weather at all for the next 10 days lows of 37 and highs of 65 they feed at night and loaf all day in huge rafts of 2 to 5 thousand birds in flooded rice fields where no hunt properties are. We don't really get going till Dec. Seasons are open in the valley since Oct 24th. Great video's.
I appreciate all the tips and tricks, love your channel.! I stopped calling so much and added movement in my spread, wow what a difference that’s made.! I’ve killed more ducks this week by movement and less calling then I ever have in the past.! I also painted up a coot from an old decoy, works wonders.! Thanks again
I have hunted 5 times this year . I hunt and live in California in the san Diego area so we are very limited but fish and game has a medium size refuge we hunt ..
This is my first year going hunting on my own. I’ve only been able to go duck hunting once so far, but I did kill a STUD drake woodie. But the season ain’t over yet, so there’s many for hunts to come for me.
Tomorrow will be my 11th time out here in Indiana. Fingers crossed that the geese will play fair in the morning lol yeah right. Season started off great but the birds are stale and catching on to the game quick.
Love the videos, been out quite a bit this year. Hunt mostly Pennsylvania. I know not the best waterfowl state but its home. Would love to go to one of the big waterfowl states just to see the difference in person.
