5 Mistakes Duck Hunters Make

These are 5 mistakes that duck hunters make. I am guilty of all of these mistakes and I am sure every other duck hunter is as well. These are things that duck hunters need to keep in mind when they are in the field duck hunting because it can make or break your hunt.

Anyone else got the duck fever already?

[MrBowNaxe]

Solid advice. The only time I can get right out of bed is to go hunting...hit the snooze a couple of time for work but never to get in the marsh!

About to go on my first duck hunt ever Saturday appreciate this video

[clintonmumbower]

As we get closer to goose/duck season, a video comparing different types of layout blinds would be amazing. Differences in opinion of the flip up vs double door, frame vs no frame, etc.

I have a friend that goes out before the hunt and sets blind up. Then flies a drone up to check concealment. Definitely time consuming but with friends it goes quick and gives great view of your concealment.

HONORABLE MENTION: The snooze button IS the enemy

[vinnyavitia]

Never been duck hunting hopefully going this weekend as my first time and thanks for the good Advice and tips

Could you do an "advanced" duck hunter video in terms of equipment? You've covered getting started with the basics. But how about the next step? Like if someone wants to get a little more into it. Maybe cover somethings they could upgrade too. Nicer shotgun, better decoys etc.

[patternpaper]

Skybusting, over calling, decoy setup isn’t natural looking (too many decoys, no movement, odd layout etc.), NOT PRACTICING SHOOTING! Biggest mistakes I’ve seen.

[daleosborn]

I've never been waterfowl hunting. Got a lot of good tips from all your videos. Thank you. Wish me luck:)

[andrewehrlich]

Can you please make a video of how to set duck decoy spreads? Ik a lot of ppl make them but I was wondering if you could use like a piece of paper along with it and actually draw it out. I’m pretty new to duck hunting and have just been trying to learn a lot of it on my own bc duck hunting where I live is so hard the guys that are good at it are extremely secretive! Love the videos keep it up

[HighPrairieSportsmen]

I've definitely done all of these before at some point. Good vid!

[matthewhargrove]

Love the videos not a new duck hunter, but have Learned so much from your channel keep up the good work we appreciate your time!! Best of luck this season!! maybe we can have a good one here in Oklahoma this year

[a.m.routdoors]

Love the videos. One of my favorite youtubers. Seems like a cool guy

[Drew-mowz]

Not scouting enough is #1 in my opinion

[falconer]

I hunt plenty of deep water without a boat or dog. I’ve never had any problems retrieving ducks or geese with a fishing pole rigged up with a salmon treble hook with a steelhead slinky weight tied on the bottom. Works wonders.

[anthonychurilla]

Could you maybe make a video about over the shoulder vs backpack style blind bags. Thanks for all the info you give

[derekstandridge]

In Arkansas public timber it’s a huge pet peeve for me that people don’t get a good hole or have a bad setup and by 7:30-8:00 they’re running their boat around shot chasing. That’s not an ethical way to hunt and it screws up other people’s day. I’ve had days, as I’m sure a lot of people have, where you’re on the x killing birds and shot chasers roll up on you set in their boat 100 yards or less from where you are and just watch with no concerns with their concealment and just shuts the hunt down.

[braydenwarner]

Over calling and calling too loud is a big thing a lot of people do, I try to always, for mallards at least, call at their tail instead of at their face. And I give a mellow 4-5 notes of the comeback. Also feed chuckle should only be done in 6-12 inches of water and done in short splits, not super fast and loud.

[jairogutierrezmiami]

Minute 5:42 of your video states 'don't shot a bird(duck) if you can't retrieve it'. Hunters, let's be conscious about shooting a bird that's flying a little too far; oftentimes the bird will 'escape', but it won't recuperate; keep in mind, the bird will suffer an open infection, pain, starvation and it may end up as wasted food...
