 Alright boys, we're back in some brutal conditions. Broke ice all the way out here, the dog is a stand. I feel bad for him honestly right now. We probably got a what do you call it, 15, 20 right now? Out of the west, northwest, more out of the west. Really, the conditions are perfect for it. It's kind of in our face. It was blown over our left shoulder when we got here and it seems like it's kind of switching. We got some mojos, pulsators, and like a dozen nods. We don't have a lot right now because as you can see the ice is pretty gnarly out here. So me, Talon, Thomas, we got Rocky, and then Caleb behind the camera, we're gonna get him some shots too. Pentals and some mallards already working so we're just trying to hurry and get set up and we've only got a couple hours to go. So let's go. Let's see, Father. He's like name and stuff I came in. Just took a little corrective action. You do what you gotta do. I mean, the thing is that when completely switched, it's even worse for us so it's too late to move. So we just kind of make the best of it. I don't know. I think we might get a little surge right at the last 30 minutes, but yeah, just like it. We're gonna get you guys some good footage today and as you know, as always, hit the like button and don't forget to subscribe. That one right there, I shot that one right there. Is there? I'm ready. I'm ready. Well, you'll have to do this. I mean, tell me that. You're just constantly recording, huh? Some of it. Dude, it's hard getting birds. Yeah, it is. I think it's a fog even makes it harder. Should have just brought my camcorder. What's the update? Hi, I got my first grader's cop and I got my first surf scotter pretty good. So everybody's got a quarter or two apiece. So have a good time. It's a blast. Kind of funny, dude. My hands are all cold. You put your hands in the water. It's actually warm, huh? First scotter, baby. Or Jake, I should say. A skirt. A skirt. Nice, dude. Awesome. Trying to get Marty to school. Drake can't. Drake can't. It's a tall order on the guide. I don't want much. Yeah. This is awesome. This fog will not lift. Your channel looks like 70 degrees. Look what I'm wearing. I'm wearing a wig. Look, I am so blue. I don't think they like that spinner. Come here, buddy. Come here. I think I got the hen. I was aiming for the Drake, and I think I shot behind it and hit the hen. Good boy. Good boy. I was thinking that when I was shooting too. I was like, I'm going to miss and hit her. I will. Where's the Drake's? That was 15 yards. Go down, go down, go down, go down, go down, go down. Double trouble. Good boy. Here. Here. That was a big group. I think I got both Drake's here. Oh, here. Leave. There's one. Let's go get that other one. Get a bird. Back. Good boy. He's dead. That heavy metal. I shot him in the rear twice. That's why I put another one in him, because I knew I hit him once. Or the bismuth inside that. He's held a little bit, hit the water, and by the time Rocky got to me, he's dead. That's the thing, even if you don't make a clean shot, that step will kind of clean up your junk. Whereas in my opinion, if it was still, he would have kept going, I think. Good boy. Two Drake's in the hand. I'll take that. Come on, buddy. Good boy. Good boy, you want to carry it back there? You want me to carry it? I'll let you carry it. Did I? When I got it, I'll carry it. Hit 12 on the right side, a couple of wedging in the back, shutters, and fruits on the left, and then a swimmer pulsated right in the middle. They didn't really do it, though, but they weren't that far, so I'll take it. Double on wedging Drake. That's a big hold. Hold, good boy. Nice head on it. Good little sprig, too. Double, double on wedging. Stoked. That's a nice one, too. I think your dad made a bad call. Should have shot those pendels when he gave. The wind completely stopped. Went to zero. Bird stopped flying, and then it switched to the southeast at, like, 10. Man, me, huh? Of course my GoPro dies. Literally just died as that group was coming right at me. Good boy. Nice drake, wedging. Good boy. Good boy. That's done, though. E-helicopter all the way down. Hold, leap, except for shaking them again. Stone dead. Nice bird. Really nice turtle feathers. I hate when I was about to call up boys. I mean, he's dead. Little ways after the point, I think they're seeing Rocky sit here up on top, and never liked having the dog up on top of him. Get him, boy. Come on, Bubba. Good dog. I have two birds in the last five minutes. I guess you can say it was worse than. Good boy. Drake shoveler. Here, over here. Come here. That's a stud, too. Some of you shoveler lovers can appreciate that here, but here, hold, hold, leap. If you would have had a band, that'd really be cool. Yeah, that's a nice bird. It's about as pretty as they get this one here. Two in five minutes, that Drake shoveler and that other Drake whigeon. Those are really nice birds. Really nice white caps on all three of these, actually. Really not a lot of flaking left in that one, maybe, but these two are pretty solid. And then he's a stud. He's fully plowed to the max. He did good today. Today is the first day, I would say, down. He would lay down. Beautiful, beautiful California sunset. And I hope you guys enjoyed it. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Today, he ties his stuffy honey. He's going to try and knock another one off his bucket list. And it's the king of ducks. I've shot that. You have? Yeah. I have a picture of it, even. I tried to cook it and I ruined it. Oh, yeah. Oh, nice shot, Travis. That's spoony. Rocky. Oh, she kind of had Rocky now. I wanted to bring it, but I didn't want to sleep in the truck all night. A bunch of shoveless. I haven't shot one in so long. You lied to me. You lied to me, Stephen. Travis, it's only their sentence. That's right. I'm glad they're greenlings. That don't mind. Can't be that lucky to scotch double on Drake's sentence. You guys are wondering where Rocky is. I had to come straight from work, so he couldn't stay. I didn't want to leave him overnight at work. But yeah, I wish I had him right now. Scotch double. That's a pain to go get your own duck. Oh, wait, Travis. Travis, that's right. Nice shot. Nice. Nice shot. Crushed him. And that one. Nice shot. What are you using in the gun? This is one of her. She won a kill. It's as well when I face that. Did you bring extras? Travis, words of wisdom. Don't hurt that December. Taylor got the hen ring neck earlier. Travis got the hen shoulder. Taylor got a Drake greenling. What was the name of the hen, was it Drake? I actually had a red ring neck ring. They had two red feathers in the back of it. Travis's first love. Now he's trying to get intoxicated on heritos. A lot of people are probably not going to be like, what is that? It's fine. It's the best. I'm trying to get this pure sugar. Oh yeah, in this scene? No. This is medicine. Here, let's look at this here. Sugars, one serving. How many calories? Total sugar is 130 grams. Oh yeah, there's only 77 in this one. Holy smoke. There's only 35 grams of sugar in this. You could drink four of those, Talon is still big about like that. So everybody that doesn't know what a taco truck is, that is what it is right there. Sorry I didn't show you the food. There's somebody recognizable. Hey. Two of them right there. Taco truck, AKA Roach Coach. Here's your new hood ornament. My hood ornament? Oh, to put on the front of my head? Looks good, dude. Trouse, beware of phone calls and messages for your work. Looks good, dude. I wish that was on going to my wall. This is that. My dad's. Oh, it's your dad? Yeah. Good. That's Trouse's handiwork, folks. I'm about a handiwork, but it is what it is. A little more samplers. Yeah, that was the one he shot. We have a video of that one from last year. I'm going to do a dead mat with cinnamon, a couple of blue wings, maybe a shovel laying on the shovel. Doesn't get all over the place. It doesn't belong in your face. Deja vu, baby. We are back up. Different clan. Next morning, me, Travis Thomas, going out going to make an afternoon hunt happen. It flies, it dies. And spoonies, and buffies. I don't know if I'm all over my centers. Travis got the hand shoveler. I've heard that before. Yeah, I've heard that. I've heard that several times. And you know what the first bird he shot? It comes in, splared up right around. Boom. Hand spoonie. I thought it was a drake. He was dark. He goes, I think that was a drake as old Trouse. That was a spoonie. Hand. Dead bird. I know, dude. I was looking at the shoveler, too. There was a shoveler headed this way pretty low. Thank you for that. Oh, nice. Sit, sit. It's helpful on a day for summer. Must be because it's just easy going. Come here. We liking that right now, huh? Come on. He knows not to splash you. Come on. Oh, he tried not to splash you. Yeah. Here. Leave. Good boy. There's one. Oh, sit, sit, sit. I'll put a full chair for you. Yeah. Man, he sees it like a freight train right now. My goodness. One BB hit it in the head, I think. OK, see this first little group? This shallow grass? The next one, just around the corner. Not this first clump, the second clump. Yeah. Man, that was a good hustle, boy. It went through the corn. Right there while he was going. Good boy, Rocky. He came over here about 60 yards. And he found it faster than I thought he was going to. I couldn't even get the camera out yet. You're too fast, boy. Come on. Good boy. Good boy. Good boy. Here. I thought that thing was dead, and then he just all of a sudden lifted up. Hold. Leave. Good boy. Sit, sit. That was ridiculous. You know what? I bet you he ain't going to flirt no more than we would if he sits on that. Did I get that, or is someone else going to get that? Nice shot. Tallness is up four. I need a price when I make a bad shot. Sit. Rocky, I got this one, right? Did you shoot at this one? Yeah. Oh, you did? What do you, did you think you got it? Or did you or no? Did we do the same thing again? I never heard you shoot. I love how California tail goes straight up. They don't do that in their hold. Leave. Dead bird. Dead bird. Back. Oh, wrong way. No, no. Over. Travis, you got one. Dead bird. Back. It's blit. Yeah, uh-huh. Good boy. Good boy. Dude, that was impossible to shoot that one. Dude, there was no way I was going to hit that. I don't even know why I shot. I got one shell. Travis, help me out. Oh, never mind. Dead bird. Back. I'm done. That's a limit. Oh, you shot? Yeah. Yeah, he shot it. I don't care, dude. I shot it. You probably hit it, huh? I don't care, dude. I literally don't. You already did that twice. You can have this one. Sit. Sit, Rocky. Rocky. That was a perfect flush for me. Leave. Good boy. Good boy. Here begins. Oh, Drake. Travis. I didn't think you'd get him. I didn't. Boy, Rocky. Putting some hustle on today. Putting the clinic. What do you have to say for yourself? It was a little tall. Matt, you've never seen tall until you come with us at this refuge. That's when you'll know what tall means. I love watching him hustle that fast. Good boy. Putting on a clinic today's time. He's showing some of these people that you can still hustle when the water's shallow enough. Well, there's my limit, boys. Five green wings, Buffy, and a shibbler. I said, Rocky. Sit. Sit. From Travis to you, Matt. Weep. Good boy. What are you doing? You can talk to us. You broke my seat. You broke my seat. Uh-uh. Oh, you were on. That is my seat, though. Sorry, I'm just joking. It's been coming out. What would you get, enema? That's beard. Crack open something. Crack open my d-d-d-d. What's up we were using today? 3-4 shot. Those pads take the ball away. Got my dirt, dirt down here. Cheers, boys. Here's to you guys. Here's to you, mister. Mountain dew drinking man. You don't just sip the mountain dew. You guzzle it. I snapped a fishing rod right back there in that corner. Guys, that's a good sign that there's ducks near right now. That means nobody's come down the river yet. One of the biggest issues going down the river is if someone's in front of you, you're just wasting your time. So I just seen four wood ducks, two drakes, two hens. The problem was when I came around the corner, I was way too far away to shoot. If it was a sharp, tight corner, I could have shot them easy. They're not super spooked right now. And they didn't fly as soon as they seen me. So that means they haven't been getting much pressure down here. That or these are fresh birds. So that's a good thing because usually I don't see wood ducks here. Usually it's farther down the river. I never see wood ducks do that. I cannot believe they just flew right at me. Oh, that's going to be fun to get. It's deep right here, and that is a wall. And the low way back down, he fell ahead up here and he must have rolled back down. Still in the high water mark, boys. I love wood ducks. Some of them must be just, and beautiful, and also some of the best tasting. I have never, ever, I don't think, had a wood duck fly right at me like that. I feel like it's funny because I feel like I put a little lead on him and he was pretty close. So let's keep going. If I just get that one bird right there, I'm happy. And I was wondering if that was a bad idea. If I would have lucked this side, those keys would have never gone on there. But they didn't look spooked. So I'm gonna kinda luck this side and come around these right there. There's no way I can get one. No way. I gotta be kidding me. How? Talk on it. No way. I know I flock-shooted, I just shot into the group. It was probably stupid. There's no way I shouldn't have knocked one down. I cannot. That literally about gave me a heart attack when I came around that corner. I knew there was a couple. I had no idea it was a whole family. And they weren't even scared at first. Literally not until I grabbed my gun. I'm an idiot. Idiot. Oh, I did get one. I knew there was no way I didn't get one. I picked one out and aimed. That was where I made my mistake. One goose, boys. This turned out to be awesome. Come around that corner. And my good grief. My heart literally pounded through my chest right there. I hope I got them. Because if I didn't, it'd be hard to get out of there. I wasn't expecting that. That was not what I was expecting. He dead. I think it was both Drake's. You gotta be kidding me. I did not plan on shooting the hearts. Yes. Dude. Two Drake's. Stinking scotch doubled on Mallard's. That was a big group. Oh dude, that gets me more pumped than anything. You gotta be kidding. Baby, yes. Oh son, that's what I'm talking about. Yes. That jacks me up right there son. That wakes me up. See, I hugged that side thinking there might be some wood ducks down there. I was sneaking a dozen Mallard's. I gotta get that little spree over in that. Baby, baby, baby. Sweat on. Okay, we got bigger problems to deal with here. Focus on it. Two fat green heads, baby. Just stacked around that corner. I'm not saying that there's not Mallard's down here, but very rarely you see him. And if you do too far away, they did not know I was coming. Oh yes. Surprises, I was, they were surprised. Oh my goodness, dude. I got four stinking birds. This is a day, baby. It's like flip right now. Yes, flip. Oh, dude. Yes, yes. Yes. And then check out the markings on this one. It's almost like he's getting old, like, look at this one. It's almost like, it's like it's getting the markings of a hen. There's nothing else weird about it, let me see. Yeah, everything else is the same. Oh my goodness. That pumped me up. Two Drake Mallards. Toss is gonna, he's gonna freak out. Toss is gonna freak out. I mean, we always talk about wood ducks. Nice bird. But we never think about, I mean, look how much bigger this one with the hen markings on his chest is how much bigger, oh, he's way heavier too. The size difference. I mean, it's not an unbelievably difference, but it's a pretty good solid. What a day. What a day. To be on the river, where you feel like you're in your own world and to shoot two Drake Mallards, a Drake wood duck and a honker. This calls for a celebration. She's just gonna have to give me a second because when you do that and have that successful hunt, gotta whip out the dude. Here's to a great hunt and good times, boys.
