Wood Duck Hunting

Wood duck hunting in tight quarters. Difficult to get good kill shots on camera, but we try. Anyone who likes wood ducks will enjoy this; it's classic.

is that a pond in a woods or just a shallow loe spot

[canadianwingshooter]

@13johm A wide shallow spot. The entire creek is shallow with lots of hawthorns and acorns too.

What's with 3:10? It's poor sport to shoot swimming ducks - hell, it's not even legal in the US!

[canadianwingshooter]

Watch closely, just before the water shot the bird was shot and fell through the trees. I cut the audio where I spoke with the guy who shot it, the duck could not fly away. I would never shoot a bird on the water.

I just started hunting with my granddad this year and my first kill was two drake wood ducks with one shot

[canadianwingshooter]

Well done, you must be a good shot to take two. We have fun an call that a cheap mans shot, one shell for two ducks lol. keep it going.

[DownemOutdoors]

It is legal to shoot waterfowl off the water. Not good sportsmanship ill agree, BUT in this case it is a lot more sportsman like to shoot a cripple instead of injuring it and letting it go off somewhere and die....I hunt waterfowl faithfully and have had to finish off MANY birds that were on the water and unable to fly, which i think is a lot more sportsman like than letting it swim off and die later for something to come and eat other than me. Great video and good hunting!

[CarlosTadeus]

In the 21st century still has these horns shooting at birds, will have the punishment they deserve still alive ..

These suckers down here twist and move through the cypress trees so quick, I wonder how many actually slam into a tree.

@TheHawk2617really for one its legal and two maybe ever consider that it would be fine for a youngster to take one on the water. read up on your recs bud

in ohio i hunt a public area that has a lot of wood ducks and nobody goes there

[scott0443]

my first duck was a wood duck

[tjitchy]

I hunt something very similar to that in WI its a heavily wooded creek that connects to a decent pond. We get both mallards and woodys because of all the acorns. they just love them.

[Thebriaryriverway]

Man that looks good. I hope we can get the woodies in here like that this year. Great job.

where are you? those spots look great!

[xjaxx96]

@TheHawk2617 what are you talking about, it isnt illegal, just unethical and not fair game

[whitewidow4208]

It is 100 percent LEGAL to shoot a duck anywhere, whether its on land, in the air, or in the water. I agree its not very sportsman like but it is absolutely legal. If injured the most humane thing to do is shoot them. Don't let them swim off and suffer. Finish them off and cook them up. Shoot straight and fold em up
