Yes sir. You social media crusaders keep putting public content on TH-cam but then you can’t understand why each season is more crowded that the perevious one. Here in Arkansas there are no secrets. Generations have hunted where we all go. Any place you film can be easily idenfitified. Thankfully there are still some young people who are not driven by fame or money that will carry on our heritage. It’s truly ashamed to see how the dollar has ruined Duck hunting.
I have never understood this logic. People tell me all the time they know exactly where I am in any content that I’ve made. Out of all those times I’ve only had 2 people be correct. Do what makes you happy and don’t worry about anyone else.
I’ve been saying this for years now TH-cam destroyed duck hunting. Now everyone and their sister duck hunts the glory days are over.. It’s over crowded in every state even North Dakota now is crowded which is insane to me
I certainly appreciate your perspective and frankly agreed with the secret part of it 25 plus years ago. Then at some point Google started this change by allowing anyone the opportunity to find holes they never previously would have put the work in to find. Then add the absolute fact that a well kept secret not only lives with those that share it, it dies with them as well. This sport was on a trend (also a fact) that combined with ignorant government policy, is headed for certain extinction. In an age where there are probably more folks that want to take guns away than understand how to responsibly use them, we should be growing our passionate group of people, not calling each other names and attempting to shame them publicly for doing what they love and sharing it with others. This group of people, the passionate outdoorsmen in general, is the last large group of God fearing, great protectors of this country and we should be lifting one another up, showing the right way to navigate this great sport or at the very least, treating each other like we would like to be treated.
Get there earlier 🫶🏻 this is never going to change as phone won’t and humans aren’t becoming less of a thing more humans more phones more social media more hunting
Another great video and hunt! I definitely understand the frustration with public...Public draw and unfortunately, had to miss opening day because all plans fell through. We try again tomorrow! Good luck and be safe!
Social media has done a lot of bad things. I will that DrDuck and Billy at least try to teach the younger guys how to hunt the right way. Also like to say Hunter is a hell of a guy would hunt with him anytime. God Bless you Billly. Your son is a Hero.
In an effort to be positive as I strive to better myself for the New Year, please allow me to add a final comment. I agree that you have to work harder, work smarter and get up earlier if you hunt public. I agree we need as many souls as possible behind the efforts to conserve habitat and ensure breeding success. I saw the best start of a Duck season in fourteen years but it is not because there are more Ducks. I can only speak for Arkansas and I put 4,704 miles on a hunting vehicle scouting and hunting in 23’-‘24 in AR alone as a point of reference. There are tons of variables out of our control. One of the only things we can control is pressure. If we do not make some sacrifices now by tweaking around the edges, stark and harsh adjustments are coming or this passion we love will go the way of the Carrier Pigeon in Arkansas. Mindsets must change to a focus on the Duck and not the opportunity. I don’t care if the USFWS has already set the season framewrk for ‘25-‘26 or not. The piper is knocking on the door. We’ve gone from ten million Ducks to six million. That should alarm all of us. Best wishes to all for a joyful 2025 filled with promise.
Billy looks like y’all had a great opening day! I see a lot of cutdowns, what’s your favorite and what are most of the other guys blowing? Y’all are off to a good start, hope y’all have a great season. Thanks jim
Yes sir, thank you, always a great time getting after 'em! Wide variety of calls honestly, seems like everyone always needs another duck call haha. 737 tomahawk and cut downs from RNT, BG, Parish and Singleton are probably the most popular among the guys I've hunted with this year. Hope you're having a great season!
Here in de Sportsman's Paradise,we are incredibly fortunate to have quite a few Public and Federal options and not nearly the amount of ducks as we used to have.I shot my first-ever band on Dec 8th and my buddy who is our host invited another hunter with incredible yellow Lab and she got 13 of our 14 ducks,woulda most likely have gotten our 14th duck but she was NOT gaining on doggone scaup that was not hit very well,unfortunately!!!Headed back down there this Fri-Sunday hoping for a nice repeat.Duck that was banded was fine lil green wing drake,banded on 2-24-24 near Columbus,AR!!
Never seen 100,000 ducks disappear so quick in my life…. Or just go completely nocturnal. Draw time. That place should’ve stayed good for the entire week.
Was told by some very reliable sources dat certain areas of swamp not terribly far from where I live used to harbor TONS of greenheads,now that area choked off with Giant Salvinia!!Nice hunt and one day gonna try flooded timber hunt.Have a buddy with fine duck camp,Quack Shack,located in Lake Village and he is frustrated at the shear lack of ducks this year.One of his buddies and 3 hunters got four-man limit few days ago but slim pickings since-think he has had few DNF hunts AND my first split in our local marsh yielded exactly ZERO ducks,only shot 2 coots and my typical hunting buddy shot one blue wing!!!HORRENDOUS!!!
The out of state usage of Arkansas public timber is not the problem. The clout chasing, log shot taking, sleeping at boat ramps, "scouting" for ducks and the mindset of take take take, kill kill kill, go go go then go back to (insert your state here) and not give a care about woodsmanship or ethics.
Can we please make a public service announcement to stop filming boat races! Believe it or not but used to the game warden wasnt at the ramp at 2 in the morning. Yall have done a good job about not filming land marks like you used to "filming the lake" but this is the second video ive seen of this place filming a boat race and the AGFC hates that and will increase enforcement presence
Love the content and don’t hunt there (for reasons shown above) stuff is crazy. Doesn’t even look fun to me. Not the quality of hunting I’m after. Like watching tho.
Billy I'm so sorry about your son... But as a proud American I thank him and your family for paying the ultimate sacrifice. God speed.
thank you sir

There are other boat ramps than the one everybody lines up at? Hell, good to know.
Day before opener and walking in the woods? Can't be in the woods until 4am. All areas are closed other than rivers and canals designated by signs.
