Kodiak Island Sea Ducks

Migratory bird hunters in Alaska have numerous opportunities to harvest waterfowl - however Alaska Sea Duck hunting on Kodiak Island is not recommended for the faint of heart. In Alaska just getting to the hunting location can be the adventure. When Mother-Nature behaves, and the sea ducks start flying, you'll experience the trip of a lifetime.

Wind kicking-up and ice-coated decoys are the items that ruin the day......and the worst is the boat being swamped!! Even wearing life vests, who's out there to rescue you in short time?? All-in-all, diver hunting is GREAT when it's GREAT!

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

Seaduck hunting in Alaska is pretty epic. Have you been to St. Paul? Now there’s an adventure 😱🥶

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

Hunted Michigan Big-Waters for decades....a few times we kissed-the-shore when "it" was over! @@AlaskaOutdoorsTV

I from baja california mexico,
Alaska is wonderfull, and wild same desert of baja i love ther place 💗

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

Kodiak island is a special place in Alaska for sure

[@swmplvr]

aint no birds, especially the ones they mentioned, worth all that!!

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

There is a adventurous spirt involved in changed some of the species here in Alaska. Have a good season and thank you for watching.

[@simbyy5486]

This video is so good for such low views

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

Thank you for watching, Simbyy. Alaska Outdoors TV has aired on TV for the past decade. Last year we decided to make it available to the digital world through streaming including TH-cam and Amazon Prime. We're gaining traction every month earning the trust of the viewers. Have a great 2021 season. There's more to come from us.

[@AlaskaDH01]

Thanks for watching.. appreciate it 👊🏻

[@michealguennigsman2144]

Do people actaully come far and wide to get those Common Mergs? Only reason I ask is cause we have so many of them late season here in Minnesota. About the same time we get common Goldeneye we get the common mergs

[@AlaskaDH01]

Apparently so.. Alaska has a large variety of birds to hunt.. tons of trophy bucks list birds..

[@timtuepah6684]

I'm in Ontario canada we get the mergs thick here too great training birds for the dogs !

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

I don’t know anyone that comes just for Merkes. It’s just a opportunity that presents itself while they’re out chasing sea ducks, goldeneyes, etc..

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

Indeed. Alaska has a number of bucket list birds in fact there’s a couple of episodes we have on our channel here including king eiders you might enjoy.

[@FlightsCancelledOutdoors]

What time are the birds a plumed out and when are the harlequins there

[@AlaskaDH01]

We don’t usually harvest Harlys until after 15th of November due to pin feathers. They look great way before this time no doubt.. but your taxidermist will not like it..😜

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

Thank you for watching

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

The furthest decoy should be no more than 40-yards from the blind......far less cripples for sure! Most of all...DO NOT take safety for granted!👍

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

We never take safety for granted. Alaska doesn’t care what your last name is, it will chew you up if you’re careless.

[@Klaatu-ij9uz]

I was basically speaking to your viewers on the safety issue. Diver hunting is a cliffhanger at times....been there, done that!

[@theealaskanviking5257]

Just by the thumb nail it looks like a wild time!! 👍🏻

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

Pretty good storm blew through one day so that was pretty crazy. Chasing birds on the big rock is a bucket list adventure for sure.

[@907huntingandfishing8]

Great video, it makes me want to get out and try duck hunting.

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

Duck hunts are super fun to film and of course duck hunting in general is fun. Duck hunters are a passionate group of dedicated hunters who just love to be out on the water any chance they get.

[@AlaskaDH01]

Thanks for watching Ted

[@cooleyluke7]

What boat was used?

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

Its made on the east coast. We'll look up the name for you.

[@cooleyluke7]

I've been looking at tdb and bankes and was just wondering what you guys used because it seems like it takes a good beating

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

@@cooleyluke7 It was a tdb...owned by the guide.

[@jaydenbankes8126]

Looks like a 17 tdb but a 19-25 bankes would be awesome up in Alaska

[@AlaskaDH01]

@@jaydenbankes8126 yes it was a 17fter

[@e_thynes]

We call the birds you guys a hunting poop ducks/fish ducks. But we don’t eat those because they don’t taste good. I was raised in a way that if you kill something you eat it so I don’t kill poop/fish ducks, I only kill mallards and geese.

[@AlaskaOutdoorsTV]

We eat everything we take. What doesn't get BBQ grilled gets turned into sausage or hunter sticks. Waterfowl season is always fun in Alaska. Thank you for watching 👊

[@hinglemccringleberry7786]

Erik you’re a goofball

[@AlaskaDH01]

We eat every bird we kill.. plane and simple
