This week Mark hits the half way point by harvesting 6 more species while in Sonora, Mexico. Sonora may be known for giant mule deer, but Mark makes an example of just how productive the waterfowl hunting can be as well. This hunt has it all. Flocks of 100+ Pintails over decoys, Pacific Brant on the Sea of Cortez, Ring-necks in the fog and even a jump shoot for Coot.

So frustrating that you are on a journey to harvest every species of waterfowl, but can't identify all of them that you're shooting. Is there not anyone who can even catch it during the editing process?

@fishamons5439 2 жыл бұрын

Damn you get to go on a waterfowl slam and can’t even id a Mexican mallard vs a black duck or a hen blue bill vs a ringneck. Could at least do a little research before posting something us actual duck hunters care so much about

@johnbreeden7334 2 жыл бұрын

When he called the Mexican mallard a black duck I immediately scrolled down to the comments ...... don't have to know what they are when you have more money than gods got time I guess ....

@clayturpin2558 2 жыл бұрын

Came here to say something about that "Ringneck" lol. How are you gonna have a tv show and can't even ID the ducks you shoot

@dm5112 Жыл бұрын

This guy is duck shooting. Not duck hunting. Hunting is learning an area and doing the work with your own equipment to reap the rewards. This guy just shows up pays and shoots. To each his own. Not my cup of tea nor would I dare to brag about any such accomplishment. What did you do other than pull the trigger?? I'd be embarrassed to hang a pic of any such hunt or boast about my pile pic by hunting this way. Again whatever floats your boat.

My five year old son and I just watched this. Cool place to hunt it looks like. He looked puzzled when you held up the hen Scaup and called it a Ringneck. Then he looked at me, and asked why are you calling it a Ringneck, when it isn’t a Ringneck. Hopefully you learn to id your birds in your future travels/videos. That’s how guys get tickets from the GW. Nice Mexican Duck. Not a Black Duck too. I completed the Waterfowl Slam in 2012 with my 20 gauge. It’s a fun journey.

I was going to make the same comment. What a great kid, even a five year old can tell you ringnecked ducks dont have white wing patches and black ducks are much darker than mexican ducks. But cool hunt.

@TooManyHobbies 2 жыл бұрын

This is some great hunting and I really enjoyed the video as well as the quality put into shooting and editing it. One note - it's very important to be accurate on waterfowl ID. The one you showed is a hen bluebill (lesser hen scaup in this case), not a ringneck, and throughout the US there's specific limits on bluebills that are not on ringnecks. Same with the black duck, some places have limits on mottled/Mexican ducks vs black ducks. That was not a true American Black Duck, it was a Mexican duck

Also not a hen ring neck it’s a hen blue bill

@coletiemann7991 2 жыл бұрын

Nice video, but yeah, there’s no way that the black duck in the video is an American Black Duck. It’s a Mexican Duck, Anas diazi. And your ring-necked duck is a hen Lesser Scaup.

What is the deal with the pintail limit in Mexico? Seems a bit excessive given the birds current decline. Is there a particular reason it's so much higher? Other than to boost tourism from hunting.

Why do you keep saying you want cloudy skies for duck hunting? I've been ducking hunting for many years and I've never heard of a duck hunter wanting cloudy skies vs sunny skies. Every hunter I know wants the sun to use it to their advantage for hiding.

@MarkVPeterson 2 жыл бұрын

I think in this neck of the woods if it was cloudy that meant weather change so thats what I was meaning.

The duck on day 5 is a blue bill, they look similar to ringnecks

@lohem25 2 жыл бұрын

I'm 100% sure that's a Mexican Duck, which was recognized as it's own species added in 2020, that you shot on Day 4, while black ducks are exclusive to the Atlantic and Mississippi Flyways (www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/american-black-duck). I'm also 100% sure that you shot a hen or first year drake bluebill, not a ring-necked on the last day - ringers don't have a big white patch around the bill, nor do they have that much blue coloration on such a rounded bill.

This is ridiculous! Why are you taking so many pintails, we can only take one in the US because they are struggling so much. Mexico and sportsman need to change this.
