 Hey guys, welcome back to another loadout video for duck hunting 2022 crazy can't believe it I think this is like our fifth one this video is brought to you by motion ducks guys check out motion ducks It's one of our favorite things out of all this gear out here And it will bring birds in the decoys on a windless day simple setup. This is it got a weight They also sell a weight bag. This isn't from them. It's just kind of a weight We have got the pull string and then this is it right here And that's how compact it can go and what it does and I'll show some clips and overlaid over here But you can go from four to seven to ten You can add on and add it on to this whole setup and bring motion in your spread It's one of my favorite decoy rick setups I've ever had and I think Thomas would attest to that as well So check out motion ducks great company and you can go in there actually to get a discount You can go in motion ducks comm forward slash MVM Guys and you'll see a deal that's just for you guys just for the people that watch our videos and you get a really good discount And on top of that when you go to check out put in the code MVM 10 and get another 10% off go check it out guys I promise you'd be worth it because a lot of times you're out there hunting if all you had was motion You'd be hammering on the birds But because you look a bunch of dead stagnant decoys out there birds know it They flare off they're gone. So check on motion decks. We'll be using it all season long like we have for the last four or five years So I guess we'll start with the dog stuff first A lot of this stuff has redundant me and Thomas have pretty much a lot of the same stuff So he just brought over and filled in the gaps that we don't have so here's a gunner killer I've actually never had this in one of our loadout videos I think I did a duck dog loadout, but I never put this in there. I bought this I believe three years ago. It's the best investment I ever made. I have a friend in Colton They weren't a horrible accident and actually his dog survived because of this If it would have been one of those cheap Petco ones, you would have for sure been dead It's got the weather kit that I have I bought to add on to it So like in the winter time you're hunting, you know summer it can breathe through the sides winter time Close it up. It's got locks on top and bottom and then you can key lock it So not worry about someone stealing your dog at night and then inside It's got I bought the padding for the dog, but lots of room. This is an extra large I bought just a couple months ago a new e-caller for Rocky. It's the same exact one. I actually I take that back I had a 825 this is a 425 and the reason I kind of downgrade is because I don't need all the fancy stuff to have multiple dogs on One receiver which this will still do more than one dog But as you can tell you can see how small that is and it's not so much weight hanging around your neck after four years I think it went out so bought a fresh one this year got a little fixed up and went with the lighter model dog vest The reason I use this one has nothing to do with the brand or anything like that It's because he's such a big barrel chest of dog that I had to cut way out and as you can see It's only like a three mil ply and it was easier to cut and he's had this one for like I think three years now So there's some other ones. I tried I just could not make him work no matter how big of a size I bought you guys seen this before it's just like an accordion. I am buckle three buckles It's made by rig them right it's for like a ground blind for the dog And I just pop these three and bam expands out close it back together three straps You're good to go so new this year that we're gonna try out as you guys seen last year We started using final approach decoys and loved them and that's really the only thing a final approach as we used Well this year we're trying more and more stuff and for sure We're we're staying with the final approach decoys love them But we are gonna start trying some of final approaches apparel and their gear out first off I guess I'll talk about the bag. This is their waiter bag Actually really like it. It's pretty nice and it's roomy because I've seen some decoy bags Sick cuz to be honest with you that they try to make it compact and that's great But like you have to like smash the boots and and you got a crunch everything in there in my opinion And I don't want to do that to my boots because if it gets warm It'll be it'll make that rubber kind of stay in that position It was folded in or it could cause cracks So I like the fact that they did this big open bag And they kept it basically like waterproof inside. So if you put it in your truck, you're not dripping stuff from your decoys I think you can take that out too if you want to like spray it off It's bigger you got stuff a lot of pockets on the side You can put stuff in and then the cool thing is on the bottom run zip it and you can pull out this whole mat That you can stand on to if you're on rocks mud whatever you're not gonna get your feet wet or whatever that I really like that too or honestly you could just stand inside of it if it's empty You're taking your waiters off stand inside of it slip them right off and then put your regular shoes back on this year You will see us in these we're gonna be in these final approach waiters and they are zippa I've always been honest on this channel. I love my sick quitters They're ain't nothing gonna change that especially up to the fact that the warranty that they have We just me and Thomas both got our stuff back and they took care of us I had to pay a dime for it. How do you beat that? It's pretty impossible unless you match that so we are trying out this year final approaches Gary And one of the things being their waiters I will say now I put these on first impressions guys the boots are incredible like actually I was blown away The boots are every bit as comfortable as sick as I was shocked some of the other things the features they have that is A zip they got the zip on this and I got to put this to use for myself So I don't really want to say a lot about it and push people to it But they are pretty slick. They are comfortable boots are comfortable. They have a zip I want to season of use before I say a lot about them. There is Velcro on the shoulder straps So I want maybe if you just slide them off instead of unbuckling every time because we know how Velcro does wear out But other than that they got really nice comfortable straps to go around the waist got padding in the back They got shell spots in the front waterproof zip. So I mean I will say they're really comfortable So we will be trying those out this year. So don't be surprised and don't think Something crazy if you see us in that set of sick We're definitely want to try this out research and development man try different things make things better And that's what I like about final approach guys They are very very willing to make their stuff better and they've made a lot of quality stuff And I'll show you more of that here in a second right next And when I'm skipping it because Thomas is gonna talk about it I got the Momosh dog stand I do kind of like the one with the cover better because Rocky's black and sometimes he sticks out But the hassle of putting it together and stuff I just decided try to get him covered up and I'll use this one because it's so simple Momosh makes it really is my favorite dog stand and underneath you can you can tighten it There's Velcro if you need to make it looser or tighter or whatever and then these legs Extend all the way out or come back in so it's pretty slick sick of waiters I'm not gonna talk about the waiters themselves. We've done enough videos on these But I had seam failure in the crotch in my waiters right in the very crotch where it's like sewn and I started feeling a little bit of a leak in my Right boot for its third season which the boot things mine. That's where in terror right like I stepped I was in a bunch of sharp rocks and I felt one puncture like I felt like went right through Anyways last year both those things happened within a couple days of each other It was at the end of season. I was like, oh, I'll just send it in after season I will I send it in the crotch is seam failure That's on them and they fixed it no charge the boots However is on me right like if you wear the boots out whatever you gotta buy new ones They fixed the boots for free guys. They didn't charge me one single thing. It's like how do you beat that? So basically I got brand new boots soon. It's fixed no charge. Next up got the Lander duck strap I love that. I'm gonna get a different one this year because this is really wide. There's another one That's more narrow than that. I just I had a long time ago and I lost it So I'm gonna get another one. This is a must for when for in the boat When it's 20 degrees outside and you're going 30 miles an hour Is that your whole runner? This is my whole runner Whole runner set up right here Amazon 2599, baby. Can't beat it. And then if it gets a little too toasty for you There you go final approach Decoy gloves these things are sweet and I'll tell you another reason I think I'm gonna love these is for run running the boat down the river Just to have in a good grip and their waterproof windproof So not only what I said our decoys up with these, but also When we're rolling in the boat night core Thomas got me hooked on these a long time ago This is actually they actually sent us these these are the HIC 65 night core and this goes even brighter than the one. I can't remember the model. These are 1200 lemons. They're less No, they're more. What's the other one 600 a thousand a thousand Okay, and you can tell a big difference and they do different things they flash They have two to three different lights on this. It's pretty cool. Anyways, they sent us two pairs of these I believe you have I keep yeah, these are by far the best flashlights out there rechargable must have Thermosel, I don't even think we've really put these in any of our videos But for early season when the mosquitoes are out don't leave home without it farm to feed Everybody knows if you know me good enough, you know, I swear by these socks I wear my regular cotton ankle socks Underneath but I throw these over top inside before I put my waiters on their wool. They're not cheap guys They're like I think they're like 27 a pair or something like that go to their site Sometimes you can find them on Amazon, but farm to feed I get the biggest size and I don't even have a big foot But these are the cedar falls series and it just goes up to like Basically the top of your calf and just helps you from getting any chaffer and a raw anything I just really like them plus your feet. Don't get all sweaty. This is actually a version There's two that I've been trying out this year and I like them so far I was telling about these these are the mid-weight So these are heavy weight and which I use from beginning to end of season But this year I'm gonna use these early season till about middle season this year. I bought the X maker Kirk McCulloch cut down. He's been on our podcast guys. Check our podcast out if you like hunting fishing big game politics Anything like that guys we do it all on our podcast then beam show check it out and he came on our podcast Go check that episode out. It's awesome So much wisdom and knowledge there someone that's been duck hunting for years and years and not just in the timber But this is a beautiful call Little different, but he swore to me in that podcast It's gonna bring the ducks down, but I guess I gotta learn how to blow up first. Anyways hybrid beer bottle color as the name This is a JJ layers hybrid. I think I'm running a What's the stock 350? Yeah one three one point three five zero in this I got the t1 timber large bore I love Jade Jade and black. That's new this year. This is I just didn't like the other color I had it was like a cream color, but I run 370 in this so pre pre longer read got my dog whistle got this Acme whistle What's the name of the guy that makes this? Billy John Quinto Does amazing whigen and then of course the spinning wing that doesn't I don't always leave that on there But that's for that new avian X spinning wing Thomas will talk about that probably in a second And then everyone always ask shout out to good friend of ours Jonathan at quack lanyards Makes awesome lanyards by far my favorite and this I've actually had this one for a long time So and one for this year heavy metal three inch foreshot is what I like in heavy metal heavy business for my 12 gauge three Six shot 20 gauge I'll be shooting three inch six shot and a little bit of heavy 12 this year too But more so probably heavy business and then the new 28 gauge. I don't know if you guys knew about that yet But three inch 28 gauge six shot going at 1350 feet per second with a one ounce load So really pumped to try to get on some mallards with that this year If you want to see a review of any of these guns shotguns that I have or Thomas They're on a challenge just have to go into like the shotgun review Playlist or whatever you can see all these but this is new for this year I've been wanting for three years now is the Benelli Ethos Cordoba best best mean the Benelli service treatment You know, I got to do that every year awesome gun, but I'm not gonna review it I'm just letting you know that is what I'm gonna be shooting this year got it in the black and Got the choke. That's a cryo choke, but I'm going to actually I think I'm gonna test this out with the Rob Roberts I think the Rob Rogers probably gonna win because he made it specifically for this gun But I'm excited about it really quiet gun low kicking low recoil. I'm excited about shooting it I'm paired with this ammo right here. I'm pretty pumped this season next my 20 gauge And I'll be shooting all three of these this year is the I've had this for two or three seasons now. I can't remember Is the fronky affinity elite three? This is a 26 inch barrel that 20 gauges a 28 inch barrel But one biggest thing I love about this guys is these ultra glow ultra glow Ultra glow Sights and I actually put it on my 12 gauge to just helps me acquire the target quicker Not that we're staring at them when we're shooting ducks, but really good shooting gun throws up to the eye really well and I put on this year Finally because this had the cryo chokes on it to I believe if I remember it no true luck This came with true luck chokes, but I put on the power master code black duck that took us bad guys I had it on my 12 last year it proved itself to me. I don't need to see any more testing final approach Gun case actually really like this get they have plenty of room inside of it Got some pouches on the side and it's waterproofing zipper But floating case to believe floating case shoulder strap, but this bad boy if you guys haven't seen this yet And I'm assuming a lot of you haven't oh Look at that being bad way there. I got a video on this So you can go look at there So again, I'm not gonna review it, but it just got a makeover a little face lift And it got the heavy shot logo because no matter what if I work with him or not I believe in that ammo and I'll always shoot it So I wasn't scared one bit to put that on my gun because it is laser engraved my logo so sick in the metal Right there, and then this is a burnt bronze custom mix on this gun with heavy distressing Then again, I put the ultra glow Sight and the powder master I used all last season season the clip black duck and then a little Little surprise there on the bottom No, it's literally guys like I've said this in that video that I did a review on this It's like I got a brand new shotgun. He even Seracoded with this high-end seracoding. That's different than the body It's thinner. I guess the mill for this he redid all this pre-panded in the brownie logo all that stuff So it's pretty sick last but not least and then Tom's gonna run through his stuff I wouldn't throw this in there. They don't know about me But maybe they will tell my sentry if you go check them out is public pursuit the public pursuit Dot-com and is what this is. I use a freelance duck hunting's It's the North American waterfowler that you can go keep your stats shooting birds We're you know harvest it for the season, but I think what's really cool. Thomas, and I'll let you see inside It's leather bound. It's just I don't know It seems like a really good gift like probably an awesome Christmas gift honestly if you look what's inside of it This is what I like. There's just again that other thing I put him in with Elliott is cool But I think I want to do this too on top of that So it gives your alarm when your alarm went off arrived or set up shooting time when you left the pond How many people in the group and who they were dogs Temper all that stuff as you can see you can like draw in your decoy spread Because if you want to be a successful duck hunter You got to keep records and I've been keeping records for quite a while now and that way you can know like a The water levels this time last year was terrible and they're the same this year They're not maybe I don't want to hunt there. I want to go somewhere else moon phases That's another big thing to me it mowers a lot when duck hunting just like it does in other forms of hunting too So I'm gonna keep a really good log and try to do this for the next several years in this without further Do my brother is gonna do the rest of the story. All right. What's going on guys? I'll run through my calls first. I'm running the hybrid. This is the same call I've ran for the last I think three or four years. I run a 1.355 and I need a new read right now But I haven't got the got that yet. Also got a poke pattern Wood whistle on my lanyard. I like it sounds good. It's pretty soft. I got another whistle over here Ty's already told you about it, but it's the Acme whistle. It's got a little cork in there Same thing. This is the pentail version of the same whistle same lanyard maker quack lanyards shout out He made this little Piece of plastic with the logo on it, but he made the lanyard to I'll probably always use this The only time I don't use this is like I said last year on the the loadout is when I use Sid cuz little straps that I just slip them in my waiters and it's like a lightweight option You guys probably seen us a lot with our glasses Leopold We've had these and use these all last year. These are the packouts. It's the smoke gray lens I believe all their glasses have Polarizing on it and they have like I don't know three or four different Lens options, but I like I like these a lot for hunting every day whenever They're not super shiny for you know hunting, but if you wear glasses, you know like I can't go go without wearing glasses Like every single day if I walk out the door without glasses I feel like my eyes are gonna blow up or something. I don't know we got pretty much every decoy FA Offers we got the green wing blue wing Cinnamon teal mallards gavel widget and pentail We honestly beat the I will I will say beat the dog out of them, but we used them without Trying to baby him and we used them a lot last year I don't know if we have a count of how many hunts we actually put them on but we've actually got them washed and Shined up for this season. They're ready to go So they do look pretty good and honestly we went through all these and there really wasn't any Decoys that I could say oh wow. There's a there's a bunch of chips or they broke This will be your two with these all these decoys. They pair really well with their FA rigs call them egg weight That's the style that's on here and they'll slide up and down on the the coated steel rig there and they got really nice sturdy Swivels on there. They come with a little carabiner I mean, I love everything about them. We got these in the forefoot. I just no complaints with them at all That's Cali boys. We get a lot of variety over here and these By far are the best-looking cinemas. I've seen these things just pop on the water You know get some good color in your spread. They look awesome. Moving on I bought this last year by recommendation of our good friend Harrison. We use this on a hunt Actually, he had a different version of this These are called a wind wacker. These aren't new guys I'm sure almost everybody knows about these already, but we hadn't really used them before the version He had was the the fiberglass pole Version and he basically slides it in his gun case and you can basically pull this off pull it up and He just slide that right in his gun case and he always has it in case he don't have some kind of battery Operated motion or you know this stuff like that guys that can help your success. You always got options It's the times that you don't have it is when you need it and you're you're really upset at yourself This is something else we've talked about for a couple years now Higgs and pulsators. These are still one of my favorite Battery-powered motion decoy just for the fact that they're so quiet You do kind of have to be Gentle with them a little bit because there's a pump on the bottom And if you get a guy that just likes to throw decoys around everywhere Sometimes, you know, there's things that can get caught this thing works in shallow water deep water whatever and it's really quiet Moving on to spinner. This is made by AB next we use these all last year They held up pretty good battery life is good. There's a couple features that we just like about them They look really good by the way And then you could just plug them in on the bottom Don't even have to take a battery out nothing like that and they got a couple different settings We use these all the time guys. These are a really cheap option for a Blind bag if you're just starting out and you're seeing blind bags, you know, they usually cost somewhere between 120 to 180 bucks, you know, you can get one of these for 20 30 bucks on Amazon and they got backpack straps and The thing we love about this if you don't have the luxury of hunting a blind or dry blind or a pit something like that You can actually get all your stuff Roll it up and you can have it next to you if you're hiking in with a backpack And you don't have a cart something like that and you know your stuff's gonna stay dry The next necessity guys is a jet sled This is the XL size. This is plenty big for two to three guys To hunt out of you could probably fit I don't know maybe close to four dozen or so decoys depending on what size you're bringing and your your Blind bags, you know your guns everything this thing is like a Cadillac. It's got room for days I have the next size down. I'm not sure what exactly size it is But I will say it's nice to have room sometimes if you're gonna hunt solo You might not need something like this unless you're gonna take a really really big spread And you got a dog stand and things like that This is another thing get decoys off your back helps out big time Titus uses that jet sled with the decoy cart And this is made by Rogers This thing is stout have not had anything come off of it No pins come loose no cracks in the welds or anything like that huge wheels so you can go through mud anything like that All right, so I'll just touch on the sitka stuff. I'm using I'm still using all the same stuff I have no complaints about it yet. This is the gradient hoodie I actually cut the hood off because I don't really like it. So it's kind of like a gradient jacket pants I got the heavyweight bottoms the gradient bottoms These things are extremely warm. So I would not do any hiking in these. This is the core lightweight hoodie This is still my favorite piece from sitka. I wear this from beginning to end of duck season This is the core midweight zip tee. This is a very good piece as well duck oven When it gets real cold or we go out of state or at the end of season whatever just This is uh, I feel like it's a little warmer than the gradient and uh It's a very very comfortable jacket and last but not least I got my delta weighting jacket I don't use this a ton. Obviously you don't need it until you need it, right? This is a waterproof shell There's no insulation in this and it's made specifically to wear with waders It's got the high pockets and kind of not a very long jacket. So everything's still the same with those I still got my sitka waders. Like Titus said, we did send them in for a seam failure last year I did test them out already. So I know there's no leaks For this coming duck season. I got the timber pattern. This will be the third year in these So like Titus mentioned earlier, we're going to be trying out some FA gear They're coming out with some clothing for this year and uh, it looks really good We haven't tested it yet, but uh, we're going to put it to the test this season So this is called the Branta jacket and they make a jacket and a vest Really really comfortable. It's it's a kind of more like a puffy material And they make it in a pretty nice like solid brown color So that'll be good to wear if you're hunting or even if you're just going around town So excited to use that. This is the cuta mid-layer pullover It's got a removable hood on it kind of more of like a mid-layer. So this is something else we're going to try These are some FA waiter pants Also very comfortable. This is another piece that I'm pretty excited about. This is a Rogers brand It's kind of similar to a sitka lightweight hoodie It's got a hood obviously and it's got um a mask got my weapons of choice. I got one in the Rogers Um floatable gun case and the new FA both these cases are very nice and this one Got the same ethos banelli cordoba ties cop, but I got one in a 20 gauge Um his his is in a 28 shot these not too long ago and I'm really excited to use this this year It's kind of taken me too long to buy a 20 gauge But I had just never Held anything that I was really willing to spend the money on Kind of took a guess With this because these were so hard to find how to buy it off online. So But man when I held it I was I did not have buyer's remorse at all. So Excited to use this and then you guys already know from last year's video. I also got an a5 And the wicked wings. This is the third or fourth year with me using this. I had a uh a beretta before that I noticed my my shooting went up dramatically when I got this gun. I still have my stock choke on there And I pretty much used a full at all last year I got my shotgun on here still and I just got a bracket. I forgot to bring it But I'll be switching this back and forth for my 20 to 12 gauge this year This is another another tool guys that feel like it's uh brought my shooting up Dramatically, man, I can't wait to put these things to work. You already know One handed. Hope you guys enjoyed this video. Don't forget to give it a thumbs up. We'll see you on the next one
