 Morning folks. It's good to be out here again another day to be alive and thankful for the Lord's blessings that we can get out and do this kind of stuff. Me and Travis right here on a river hunt but gonna do things a little bit different today. We're gonna float down and try to maybe jump shoot some birds but we're getting out there a lot earlier than normal right now. We're gonna be going down our flashlights for probably 20 minutes to the spot where I've seen a bunch of honkers. I got six floaters. I'll show you those later. They're FAs. I just bought them like a week and a half ago. Rigged them up. Anyways we both got our 12 gauges. We're shooting heavy metal three inch four shot. I'm shooting a full choke. Travis has got them modified. He's got the Benelli Minci. I got the Browning A5. I've got our dry bags with our gear in it. We're gonna go ahead and get started and get out there before it gets light. Shoot time. Well we've already had a casualty. Not a casualty you know. The river has already took something. You're warm. Travis decided to get out in the middle. The dryness of my underwear. Did it go down your waiters? Yeah. A little bit down my back. Got a little bit in my boots. Kind of got out in the middle. One tip. The water's usually deeper in the middle of the creek. It was a swiftness of it though. I should have said something. What happened is I stepped out. I was on good but then my leg that was still in the canoe kept moving with the canoe as I was going in the water. Oh I did the splits. And I did the splits. Oh okay. Yeah because I was gonna say it's it's you can see right there. That's that's true. It's just the angley hit. Yeah. Oh we're gonna walk this part and we'll keep going. It's a beautiful day boys. Beautiful day. Drawing every second of it. Good day to be alive huh. Did you get one? Oh check that out. Travis see that. Check the river otter out. We've been paddling for about 25 minutes so we're getting close but it was dark and I want to give you maybe a little heads up and anybody does that to try to come in somewhere in the dark in the river. The steam as you see right now that's on the river. When it's dark and you have your headlamp on basically I couldn't see five foot in front of me so that is something you want to think about. If you have not been down this your stretch of creek or river that you're going down I'd think about that because I went down so many times. I ended up turning my light off and I could still see somewhat. It wasn't that bad because I've been down but I was thinking man this would be super sketch if I hadn't been down before because you don't know like you know how deep or how shallow the water is if you because I like to stay in the deeper water so you don't drag on rocks because you drag on a rock the wrong way and it turns you sideways it'll flip you quick. Travis, Travis, Travis come up here come up here. Dog gone it. 17 birds. Man I can't believe they're here this early. Travis I think they might be roosting on this at night. If I had my gun right here I could have killed at least two they were close. We've been waiting here for about an hour would you say? And we jumped those 17 honkers as you seen and I didn't have my gun loaded that was really stupid I'm kicking myself now. I honestly thought I didn't think they were staying here all night but I'm pretty sure now they're roosting here. What I didn't realize that was turned around a little bit there's a pond straight to the east and a pond straight to the west and they're in private they're going between those two that's that's the flight pattern I seen last time I was here so this time I don't know we're not hearing me more we heard them over there being making a bunch of ruckus for the last 20 30 minutes we haven't been hearing them making any noise so I don't know if they're just snoozing or if they left the country because we never shot at them so we're gonna wait here like 20 more minutes and then we're gonna hit the road aka water let's see if we can shoot some ducks and maybe some geese if we come around the right corners hope is not lost at all the day is young we'll see what we can do we're just waiting it out a little bit like thanks for doing that for entertainment that's the worst having a wet arm your whole left arm's wet huh yeah my back my whole left arm went down the back side and went down kind of into the underwear my phone all well I wish we had like a little cat fire yes they both dead are they dead did you do you get to or did I get one you get one I think so yes sweet reload and I should have shot again oh that one's a life what I did too yes awesome hmm I shot low on the water so the whole pattern won't hit him but still don't look like he's dead I don't know I couldn't tell if I shot a hitter or Drake there's a hint of Drake I don't really care I could take I'll take the hand I'm just gonna grab this one I was making sure he's dead ah yeah yeah I hate shooting him that close man that stinks dude he would have got away if I wouldn't have shot him though yeah there we go boys another successful hunt I'll give you the Drake I'll take the hand I'm just gonna eat her this one's not too cool and it's got more salmon dude oh look at him oh oh oh no oh no that was close dude that was so close I do not know how you did not flip over right there I didn't either I just went that way that's the one I went over last time dude that was so close so close did you actually get wet again on that one dude I was like it's over I was turning around I was like there's nothing I could do to help that was cool I think we both got one but maybe Travis got both of them I'm not sure honestly I couldn't tell dude she is beautiful she ain't touched not even like her damaged her backs or her feathers or anything she's her wings aren't even broken so that's you probably shot that I thought I hit him yeah I'm pretty sure I got this one I'll take it I mean but you can have it if you want to mount it yeah we're mad he's got some feathers that you just kind of disrupted but yeah awesome those are beautiful birds yeah that was cool I didn't think there was nothing right there also I just looked at I see them start swimming out and I was like oh yeah we both went for the same time I was just telling Travis that I think the wind will help us a little bit because you can look at the tops of trees and see there's wind so it creates a little bit more background noise we got pretty I think we're pretty close to those when they first initially before they jump they're probably about 30 but like I've said before by the time you throw your pad down grab your gun and they get out there yeah they get out there quick how many was in that group I see at least five or six yeah that was cool any trip get one bird to me a kayak trip is worth it like that video um that's right here I'll put it right here if you want Travis shot that hunker early season I didn't even shoot one I just had just as much fun she's got a really nice yeah she's got a nice little comb in her back of her head and she's a she's a very mature bird that's cool dude nice you didn't even just cut her uh oh she's got a blaster or nothing he's not he really bad first class you thought you thought he was much worse with the full choke last time I went over right there but you were right here were I was kind of like right there but did you not go straight into it I did and it kicked you sideways when I went it got hung up and then the back it swung my back like this right here and dropped me in that hole and I was like oh dude I'd leave this way right here because it was going this way I can't believe you know flip I can't even that might show a little bit more of the stability of those discovery 119s and I thought honestly I really like if you have any of those other cracks you would have went over oh right okay I gotta flip see I went through this time I went through here and I didn't do no purpose I actually didn't recognize that being the spot for some reason that's where you went through that I went through yeah but I went through here this time because I was like oh it's deeper and I don't want to hang up well I thought it was just like a little ripple you know I'm saying like a little over because you can't see that I'm glad I didn't flip did you go where you going through your gun you have it tied off so right I haven't tied off I was no because I basically what I did is I tried to like stabilize the canoe because I was tipping this way and I was like oh and then it just like steady and I was like that big old salmon guys this I've seen this this is really beat up he's messed up man I actually see it pretty good if you can see him he's a good what 30 inches long yeah not that you even want to eat this never know what you're gonna see down here we're not done with the hunt yet guys don't leave but I was like so thirsty and I was wanting to whip out a little heavenly delight drink substance I'm glad I didn't because I think that would have been selling celebrating too early and it would have jinxed us I think we're going to celebrate because we have something to celebrate does that make that getting wet a little bit okay try to look for the protein nutritional facts yeah yeah any good thing in there let me juice concentrate orange juice there you go you see lots of sugar and sodium it looks like it's really bad for you here someone said the other day one of the other videos are like find someone who looks at a mountain dude like or someone said now it's first and then someone else said mountain dude is a joke but you know what the thing is I used to be stuck on him when I was like 16 and I stopped taking him because of yellow five being around Thomas and Trouse got me all hooked all over again to like two cases in my car I will tell you this since I bought two cases of mountain dude I've had nothing but good hunt fifth hunt in a row that I've got something and I had a really good time and something special happened so just saying guys hey that's why I encourage you guys go down the river you never know what's gonna happen honestly yeah it's cool and just the size that you see you know you never know what you're gonna see yeah I mean necessarily salmon we see like a river otter yeah beaver Travis almost flipping over so we're just a little over halfway down the river so we got plenty where we could see more birds I think we really will especially seeing these now this made it worth it this was cool this was fun let's keep going get him get him get him shoot that he was stuck on that tree did you see that I thought that was like a raccoon or something well guys that was a fun hunt always appreciate all the comments that you guys have give this video a thumbs up if you liked it one of the things I never said um on the last video when I was kind of showing my setup is my gun case is a floating gun case but it's not in it it's kind of sitting in the front of my boat what's your thoughts Travis on this thing we could have did better anything no I mean I think we took advantage of the opportunities that we had got those two that snuck out on the side of this that was crazy that rustling yeah yeah they were like I thought it was like a raccoon or a clown or something or a ground squirrel or something yeah and if you're right handed and you're in a kayak you can't swing obviously you can only swing so far it's like shooting out of a layout blind you can only shoot so far to the right but the left you can like almost go you know completely 90 degrees to the left so I was stuck because I was on the left side Travis I couldn't flip my boat around and he was stuck so I tried to pull out a little calamity Jane behind the head shot dude if that would have fell that would have been the luckiest shot ever I would have been epic hope you guys enjoyed it I know you liked these river hunts it was worth it like just if we would have got one duck out of the group I would have been stoked that was fun yeah except when I fell in the water that part now you're dating I'm pretty drunk right now though well on the top Talon's coming to pick us up and it was a good time so hope you guys enjoyed it see you on the next one
