I’m glad I stumbled on your channel. Just the ‘real’ vibe. Like a lot of others are like ‘we should limit in an hour’ and I just like the emotion etc that are in your hunts.

Don't stop using "We" I like it. It does feel like we are with you when you talk like that.

I am so glad I'm not the only dude that lets them things get below the horizon then loose them in the dark back ground! You made me feel better right there. LOL

Everyone says “don’t shoot em on the water” I think that’s the dumbest thing in the world. Let’s wait until they jump up. Lose them in the dark ness of the landscape or cripple them 🤯 I can’t tell you how many times that has happened to Me ! Same exact thing. I’ve lost and crippled so many that way. Land em, pop em on the water and go pick em up

shot cam is doing wonders for these vids. love it.

Welcome to how its been for all of us with this weather, man just getting 3 Mallards makes it a great hunt the way it been.

5 days and 3 birds would be great it’s my first season and I haven’t gotten anything since my first teal on teal opener

When I duck hunted, I always waited for the best (worst) weather to go hunting. In Texas our ducks get stale and are incredibly difficult to hunt unless we get a cold front to push in new birds. Just don't expect much when there aren't any cold fronts but relish the ones that push new birds in!

The art of the quick hunt morning or evening showing how fast and light you can go to get the job done its an interesting topic

Sir ,, A Bad day Duck Hunting is Better ,,, Then A day Working at a Factory Job ,,, Relax and enjoy the Beautiful Outdoors .....

hey man, don't be pressured to put out a ton of videos. Especially with these slower hunts. any upload from you is a treat so thank you. love the content

The 20 gauge is always a great gun, it's just the distance on the first two that got youv

You should start recording your boat drive out/back in. I’d love to see that

Those first five minutes I think we got to see what an overtired Josh looks like. I been there man, time to take a day off. We ain't as young as we used to be! And you've been hitting it hard.

I don't know how many times I've had the same conversation with myself after days of tough hunts (Deer, ducks, or anything else). "Do I even get out of this cozy bed? I'm not going to see anything. Screw it! I'm up! Lets go hunting!"

Good hunting 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

Apparently the people talking crap about the 20 gauge have never hunted with one or suck at shooting. It’s my favorite duck and goose gun. Quit skyblasting with your 12 gauge 3 1/2” and let them decoy. I haven’t lost anymore birds with my 20 gauge than I have with my 12 gauge.

Sometimes last minute hunts workout better than planned hunts. And I do understand your frustration with the way that birds aren't moving like past years.

Hi from Portugal! Here we have a lot less birds then you have in US, but one thing i have learned is that every landed bird is way harder for the pellets to penetrate, because there is no air flowing thru their feathers. Keep the good work sharing your great videos, full of interesting content, and the awesome hunts will end up coming.

This is season number 4 for me in East Tennessee. We haven’t killed a limit of birds since our first season 4 years ago. What your going through is nothing compared to what I have experienced. At least you live in a state that has ducks.

A jerk cord in that situation will change your life and get those birds to center up. It will also allow you to use less decoys and be more mobile. Great vid! Keep grindin’!

I love to see how decoying birds will change your morning.

Hey you don’t have to hunt ever day especially when it’s slow. But cold times are come and the ducks will show up don’t worry.

Josh: *shooting 3 birds, being frustrated not seeing more* Me: *living in south carolina getting lucky to see 1 and calling it a successful day* 😐

Don't stress yourself out too much, man. People like your content enough that they'll stick with you through the slow hunts. KS will get their birds as soon as the temps start dropping. And they will. Hang in there. Loving the vids.

Our season in MN ends Nov. 29th and we’re still huntin 40-50 degree days up here. It’s been an inconsistent season for sure. Hopefully y’all get a little better weather down there.

Dude, I never face the sun when hunting. I always hunt with my back towards the sun, forget about the wind man.

The 20 gauge was on son ! Good shooting ! I watched you in a hunt with them Round tree ranch boys the other day you guys wrecked um !

I feel your pain. Jump shot a Drake and Hen Mallard last week. Ran to my kayak to go retrieve them. Paddled back and they had both dove. I Shot them at 20 yards in the air. Thought they were dead as door nails. Makes me want to cry!

3 Mallards and you should have taking out the Squirrel . Good hunt after all .

i would have taken every decoy in front of the kayak & thrown them out on the point where they were trying to light & left the decoys on the right but spread them out thin .. they would have tried to light in the split in the decoys

Ur mind set today is my mind set for life lol

Dude. Slow hunts in NC duck hunting is what we’ve had for the last... oh... six years? Your bad days are what we’d consider epic days :) Keep on keeping on brother! Love the content!

Saw the first mallard you shot and they flew away like it was nothing and instantly thought it would have died if you were shooting a 12 gauge lol

Its been a tough year all around. Gotta stay positive!! I always tell myself its better to be out duck hunting then being stuck at work.

Look bro WE Ohio waterfowl hunters know the frustration all to well y’all “flyway collective “guys are spoiled to the GREEN 🤣 that’s why I watch all y’all !!!!!

Dang great correction on the second group that came in really listened to yourself there!

hell yea josh!!! doubled on mallards

Got decent amount of birds on missouri side if you ever want to slum it. Also a duck whistle helps a lot with stake birds can get u a couple out any time

I waited too long, having a bad few days... SQUIRREL! i laughed

Hello from Montana I shoot a 20ga a lot I have found my best shot size and choke are number 3 steel and carlson’s mid range choke. Don’t get to Frustrated with the 20 gauge it’s a good weapon for ducks and geese

That first decoy was very relatable ive shot ducks that fall then they catch themselves

I've been having problems with my local lake this year it seems I'm so slow like bad but I keep up the work.

Nice redemption double! I was routing for you 🙂👍

Same hunting been hard

I'd try some #3's in that 20ga. Get your pattern density up a bit. I don't even really like #2s in my 12ga. Only way I can kill ducks with #2s is with a very tight choke to keep the pattern density up. Kicks HF extra full.

Awesome hunt!

Nice! Early season has been tough for me. Only 1 mallard drake so far.

Josh you showed some class by not shooting the hen on the water, KUDOS!!!

this is my first year going out and haven’t shot a bird in about 2 weeks and i’ve gone out about 5 times. hopefully better tomorrow

Man I can't believe how that camera works good work man

I've been watching your videos for a couple years. You've grown quite a bit from the old, pump action, 12 decoy, cheap shotgun shell basics where we all start. It's awesome to see. Would you maybe consider purchasing some high end shot shells. Like Boss, kent matrix, Federal TSS. Maybe give us your opinions? Thanks much.

That 20 gauge has a nice spread

I’m a couple hours east of you in Missouri. We have an abundance of food but the lakes and rivers are so darn low there’s few spots and a lot of people trying to get to them. It’s definitely been rough

Hey man, the problem I’ve had with my M2 is that it shoots high out of the box. You can fix this by changing the shims of the stock. I would highly recommend you pattern it. It messed me up Bc I got use to it shooting high without knowing it was shooting high. When I would go to my other guns I would not hit anything. I’m not trying to be a know it all lol just trying to help other hunters who might be experiencing the same problem I had.

Come to the Ohio river valley bud. We don't have the slightest bit of flyway or migration. We hunt 5 days to get 3 birds all season lol. And fo 2 weeks may only kill a merg lol. But it is what it is. It gets frustrating but keep at it. And don't be afraid to take a breather. I know the feeling of the monkey on your back when filming and it sucks sometimes. Take that break. I hunted/filmed fo pursuit Channel for 6 years and trust me when it becomes a bother step back and don't lose that drive to enjoy hunting.

Nice shooting mate.

Keep grinding! It all pays off eventually!

Man this is almost identical to my last hunt. Switch the mallards to GWT and it went the exact same way

Banger

You don’t hunt alone you hunt with us

Great job 👍

why don't you not setup facing east since you know you're going to be looking in to the sun? Setup with a cross wind not looking at the sun.

Did the same thing opening morning here in Mo and then did it again 3 days later... gotta be patient.

Who Cares its A good day to enjoy the outdoors don’t need to kill birds I enjoy watching em work

Imagine blazing the medicinal before that sunrise. Your eyes would burn out of their sockets.

Try hunting with the sun to your back and setting up your spread alittle tighter.

You talked about the final attack not being perfect. I own one too and agree. What’s your next boat going to be???

Come hunt with me down here in Louisiana

That's why it's called huntin and not killin

It never hurts to take a few days off from hunting and spend time with family. When it gets slow or start getting stressed I just stay home with my family.

Drove 2 hours each way scouted 3 WMAs and no water and not even any wood ducks. I know how ya feel man. And to top it all off the wheel hub on my boat trailer grenaded on the way home.

Been tough here in Michigan..... Should be smashing greenheads like crazy right now

11:47 - Wife text asking what time you will be home

You must be the first man ever to say you hate deer hunting 2🤪

Yesterday I shot 2 Gadwalls and 2 Spoonies. Spoonies Bro!

It’s called slowvember for a reason!!

What size shot do you use in the 20 gauge for mallards ?

I haven't gotten many so far this season in Utah either...definitely need some cold weather and storms.

This year is my fist year opener starts next Friday man I’m so excited but probably won’t kill nothing my luck 🤦🏻‍♂️

Am lovin the videos

Josh- you might consider throwing some sunglasses in your blind bag for days like this. Your eyes will thank you when you're in your 40's like I am. S

What type of hearing protection are you using?

Man i know the feeling, this whole week I’ve only shot a merganser

Hey man idk where you live in Kansas exactly but if you are close to the Wichita area at all I’ll hunt with you! I’ve definitely been having a hard time finding the birds this year too! I’ve choked it up to that they’re not here yet and so I’ve been trying out a few new places so I am ready for when the birds do arrive!

Boss #5 in that gun wreak birds. Also did you shim gun yet

Favorite channel

I have been following you on KZfaq for two years now. Love what you do. How often do you hunt Flint Hills NWR? If it's a fair amount have you ever run into an old duck hunter originally from Lebo named Roy Carson?

you need to do something with that red kill switch cord

God damn what kind of shells are you using lol

I doubt you will see this. Do you plan on offering 3xl in merch?

9:32 ,2 green heads you litterly said a drake and a hen😂😂

What choke & shot ? Your reaching out. 😀

What earplugs do you use?

What choke is in your 20?

whats the camera on your gun

when in doubt swat it out

Hey man. I love my 20ga I like shooting 3s and 4s. With a pattern master. I use black cloud 2s as well when the geese are around and flying. Also use a pattern master with them. I use a stoeger and a 870 can get 40 yards consistently with ducks and 35 yards with geese just a little advise that an old timer told the 20g will make you a better shot

What choke and shot size you using through the 20g

Is there a limit for how many mallards you can shoot for one day ? Here in Norway we don’t have any limits just shoot how many we want.
