 Morning boys. It's a great day to be alive because I'm a duck hunter. I'm out here by myself doing a solo duck hunt With my 20 gauge shotgun. It is a fronky affinity elite 3.0 I will be doing a review on it pretty soon Just haven't really Taking the time to do it and I wanted to shoot a little bit more. I think I've only shot I shot it once in Washington That's the only time I've shot it and I think I only put literally like five or six shells through it I'm out here at a refuge that has some pretty different rules just for you guys to see a little bit of Kind of the rules that California has at some of its refuges first off You can always only take 25 shells at a time Which is if you can't get your limit by then you deserve to take the walk of shame and trust me I've taken the walk of shame before but it's nice just having extra shells, you know, whatever I'm just letting you know, that's our rules out here on our public refuges Also, this refuge is even crazier. You can take one box Which is 25 shells if you don't shoot your limit or you still you shot all your shells You want to keep shooting you're done. You're done You cannot go back out get shells from the parking lot from your truck and then go back out You're done hunts over so you definitely want to make your shots count here Like I said, I got the 20 gauge and I'm pretty excited about shooting it The only bummer just let you guys know I will not have the shot cam because I don't have the bracket for it yet But it should be here this week. So anyways, it's just me and Rocky solo duck hunt 20 gauge. Let's go so my cart broke the other day and I've been been hunting me and Thomas been hunting together, obviously But I don't have one today because Thomas is hunting somewhere else I'll be dragging my sled. That is the first time. I've done that believe it or not But these are actually made to do that. It's a medium-sized jet sled. You guys have asked this before I wasn't gonna take the solo blind out, but since I'm hunting out of a pit. I'm gonna leave that here So I won't need my chair or my 360 blind All right guys Staying simple today blind bag ground blind for Rocky. It's a rig them right something drink 20-gauge shotgun I'll show you guys a little bit more than that and then four spoony decoys on a jerk rig system It's a motion-dex jerk rig system if you want you can check them out I really like them you're gonna see check it out in the description below and link it In a gorgeous black lab It's all you need right there folks The necessities of life. I forgot to mention that I got to go to work. So this is a pre work hunt And it's super foggy, but this place might not mess it up There might be a couple so if I can shoot one or two birds, I will be completely stoked today. Hi guys I made it out here Took me about 12 minutes or so so usually I got the cart and the sled together. That's why I stayed light Here's the issue. I brought the motion next with the four decoys because a little Spread is better when there's no wind to have movement then a big spread with no movement but if there is wind you want a bigger spread because all your decoys are gonna be moving and You want a bigger spread. So now I'm stuck with a smaller spread with wind It's about 10 10 miles an hour It should be a crossing shot with the way the wind direction is blowing and the way these pits are It looks pretty cool in here. I don't know. We'll see Sit sit Rocky yes, I don't care what He didn't see it fall Over come on. Do I walk that thing? Hope that was a Drake guys over? Yes. Good boy Good boy here They shoot the hand I probably did here come on bud Good boy, I don't care. I couldn't it's so foggy. I can't even tell what the Drake was And Mallard yes Thank You foggy day here sit sit Sit good boy leave see that smoker Yes, baby. Yes, dude walk on No, Rezzi no lottery and just dropped Holy cow, look at this Look at that No, Rezzi no lottery and just shot a Mallard Walk on and one of the harder refuges you can never get drawn I'm gonna be thankful. I want to I'm gonna want I want to my nature wants to say I wish it was a Drake Do you know what I said if I come out here and get one bird I'd be still I'm so stoked with the 20 gauge Boom, I'm in folder. She's probably 25 yards. I'm stoked. I'll leave a happy man I gotta leave like in about an hour and a half. All right guys while there was a little bit of a lull in the shooting and the birds Want to show you guys the gun I was using today It's got the oversized button what I that I really like and I love this timber color Also Show you guys the shells I'm using That zonk that bird. All right guys. So here's the shells. I'm using the heavy hammer 20 gauge three inch three shot They really worked good on that as you could see they zonk that that hand. It's a one ounce load There is strong Baba board To say the least I am stoked that I came out here before work Hadn't about an hour and a half shot of Mallard I'm kicking myself now like cuz I don't know why I didn't try to double up. They were plenty close I guess I was so stoked that I dropped that one so hard like a sheet even flutter I didn't know for sure. What was the drinker and I literally tried to identify I couldn't it was just too dark and foggy, but I seen a couple three a three pack of wood ducks Over that way, which is a lot more timber-looking stuff and I Couldn't get him to come over and I don't have a wood duck call anyways But I still use this motion ducks over here these Spoonies Really believe that that sucked in that those mallards because I was pulling it. I didn't even see nothing. I Was just tucked down this blind and I'm sitting there pulling this like this and then I look over to my right And there's two mallards literally 25 yards away So to get out here with my brand new 20 gauge my dog Shoot a mallard done in a decent range on a public refuge that gets lots of pressure and then Call it a day. I got meat for the freezer And I'm gonna be thankful that I got a bird. Yeah, I would say oh man I wish it was a great and I do say that because I don't like shooting hens But more so for breeding purposes, but for the just the fact I'm stoked. It's gonna taste good I love mallard being cooking it been pan-searing it with the skin on it's delicious Honestly, I didn't think I was gonna be able to hunt today. So the fact Sorry, I thought I saw two ducks. I'm wishing I would have had a lot decoys, but you know It said no win this morning. So I kind of went off the weather man, which Shocker, he wasn't right. It's funny. I have I was getting in line getting ready to check in and to a guy walks past I mean two guys walk past me and the one guy goes. Hey Titus, and I was like, hey buddy Just walked right past me and was running out there.
