I headed down to the North Carolina coast for the 2021 coastal duck hunting opener last weekend and had a crazy experience. I met Ethan and Logan, a couple local guys, who were also looking for ducks and we ended up getting permission to hunt a private swamp that was loaded with teal, mallards, black ducks, and woodies. We setup in a tiny timber hole and within the first couple minutes of shooting light I knew we were in for a good one. The incredible decoying action continued throughout the morning and we ended with a 3 man mixed bag limit. Hope you enjoy!

Falling down in the swamp or marsh and getting wet on a cold sunrise is a right of passage that binds us all. 🦆. Nature is awesome

Haha exactly right! Nothing more fitting for a first hunt than taking a swim!

What a great hunt and what a great sportsman to let that new hunter get his first Drake Mallard without having to feel the pressure of everyone shooting. I've been duck hunting for over 30 years and its refreshing to see "young" men like you teaching it the right way to new hunters. I always look forward to your videos. I hunt Eastern NC and Currituck a lot. Maybe we can get together sometime. God bless.

Very cool hunt! I feel for the guy that took a dip in the drink so many times lol. But he still had a smile from ear to ear on that hunt! And what a first hunt it was! I sure hope you guys made sure to pick up all your shells outta the water though. Too many times I go to hunt somewhere and see empty shells laying all over the place. I usually bring a plastic bag in my blind bag for those occasions. I was given a MOJO shell stick from a friend and it's been awesome! Picking up shells is a breeze and it folds up to fit perfectly in my blind bag. Good luck this season and happy hunting!

Awesome hunt Thomas. When they come in like that a long handled tennis racket might be best. As many birds you and your buddies take during the season do you often take banded birds. I was lucky enough to get a greenhead once that was wearing a Jack Miner Band. Miner established a refuge on the Canadian side of Lake Ontario. He called it the mission and the ducks and geese they banded he called missionaries. Each band has a short Bible quote and I have not heard of a Atlantic flyway hunter taking one other than me. I d like to say I had that missionary mounted with that band but no. Congrats on first mallard. Sweet looking spot.

J Morgan Futch for Jan. 8th and North River for Jan. 22. We’ve been to Futch before. Only duck I have mounted came from there, Drake Ringneck. Always look forward to hunting with son, he’s the one that got me into waterfowl.

I used to work at the Field and Stream in Chesapeake and helped Logan get his waders and stuff he needs for his first time. He directed me to your channel when he came back in after that. Glad to see it paid off. Good work guys.

It's crazy how small of a world it is sometimes! Thanks for helping get him setup for the season, I know he was pretty excited when he got to put his gear through it's paces on this hunt
