HUNDREDS Of DUCKS Dumped Into Our ICE HOLE (Limited Out) | Duck Hunting 2024

I headed out to Oklahoma last week in the hopes of finding some quality duck hunting opportunities on public land. I made it to the area I was planning on hunting with a few hours of daylight left to scout and was lucky enough to find a bunch of mallards, pintails, teal, wigeon, and wood ducks feeding in a small slough. We headed out there the next morning and after busting out a small ice hole, hundreds of ducks proceeded to decoy into our spread. We tried to take our time and enjoy the show as we picked off an all drake limit of finishing birds. Hope you enjoy!

You know the duck season is bad in Virginia and Maryland when you have move out west to shoot ducks. It’s been a very rough duck season along the Atlantic Flyaway this year. Great hunt Thomas!

The birds aren't dumb, they all go to OBX in NC at Pea Island & Pocosin Lakes area...they know where they don't get shot 😉

No kidding, I was hoping to stay on the east coast for all of January but the hunting just seemed to be getting worse everyday. Hopefully it’ll be a good last week of season for the mid-Atlantic though with that weather that came through the last few days! Did you see many fresh birds come down with the front up there?

Hey Thomas just wondering how you go about finding public you want to hunt in other states. Not looking for spots just trying to get a general idea of how you chose an area to hunt? It’s been so rough seasons down here in Louisiana so I’ve been looking to travel like this for some birds.

@HokeOutdoors 7 ай бұрын

Mainly I just look for big tracts of public land on OnX that have amble water. I’ll also call public land managers in the state I’m planning to hunt to get reports from them on habitat conditions and bird numbers. I picked this area for this trip because there was a lot of walk-in/kayak opportunities since we didn’t have a boat to hunt big water with
