Thanks for the advice! I haven’t tried duck hunting yet, but this video gives me some more confidence to give it a try.

I’m glad I came across your channel! Very informative, and enjoyable to watch. I live around Nashville, but grew up in West Mobile. I never had the opportunity to enjoy the outdoor activities in the Delta. Like you, I self taught myself to hunt (deer) here in Tennessee. That wasn’t activities my father did or taught us to. Good work man, keep it up.

Great content man! I’m just working on getting some gear to try duck hunting here in SC for the first time and this was very helpful. I hear we have a lot of wood ducks and their good to eat so I’m looking forward to giving this a try. Thanks again.

I grew up in North Mobile. Never duck hunted but I’ve always wanted to go and try. I want to try it before I go out and start buying gear.

I live in East Alabama and my favorite way to hunt woodies is just walking the banks of small creeks and jumping them up like pheasants. On a good day I can get in to some woodcocks too.

Oh, and just throwing it out there, but I used #6s and a skeet choke. Wood ducks go down pretty easy

I've hunted them with steel dove loads when it was close shooting. Usually use 4 steel. But I've also shot 5 bismuth and that's where it's at.

Miss my mud buddy long tail for grinding and bumping through nasty stuff. My current Gatortail is great but it’s not good in logs and hard bottom shallow water. Good info. 👍🏻👍🏻

Just stumbled upon your video Up Ontario I hunt lots of woodies. On small river. Hunt on foot to secluded spots. Half dozen dekes and one spinner. A dog, always finds the crippled lol. Fun and excellent table fare.

Wood ducks are my favorite looking and tasting birds we have around my parts way up Northeast

Same here. I'd rather eat wood duck than any part of a deer.

@@nickwilliamsoutdoors oufff that we can agree to disagree on haha love me some back straps and venison, i also just love cooking in general too. Never had teal unfortunately but id imagine similar to wood ducks jus smaller

I had teal for the first time back in September early teal season. To me it was to wood duck what backstrap is to tenderloin. More tender and a milder flavor.

@@nickwilliamsoutdoors damn i wish we had more up here then. They are few and far between and those suckers fly like a bat outta hell if we do get lucky enough to see a flock or two early season. Good luck rest of season! Love all the info on gear/saddles and such you put out.

Find a load of #5 steel in the 1450+ fps range. It'll knock the snot out of em. Been shooting big ducks over decoys with #5 out of a 20 and 28 gauge.
