 Where's the sun coming up? Oh, we need the level ground. We need that. You don't want to be by me or what? Home sweet home, boys. He'll protect us from the bears and Bigfoot. All right. Home sweet home. Thomas, take us on a tour. Here's our front door. Rocky, you're not welcome in there. No dogs allowed. This is our garage. Is that a teacup? Is that a teacup garage in here? This is our entryway. And this is all our fine dining. And then this is where all the magic happens. This is a master. We haven't hung our chandelier yet. What do you think? Rocky wants to know if he gets the in-law quarters. Right here. He's in the drain house. We're using backpacks tomorrow. Mine carries a dozen Titus. I can carry more, but he's got camera gear, dog stand, his blind bag, and gun and all that stuff. So I'm going to have four mallards by themselves. And then I'm going to have two pulsators within four region that I took their rigs off of because they're going to be on our motion decks tomorrow. They're jerk string. And then I'm going to have eight other widget with rigs on them. And I'll put those kind of around our jerk string. So both of our groups of decoys will have some motion in it tomorrow because there will not be any wind. You said what I had, right? Uh, no, I think you'll have a dozen. A dozen. Green wings. Yeah. I kind of like the packing thing, too. So camp is set up. We made the long trek. We're pretty pumped about tomorrow. Now we're just going to get our gear ready. It's probably getting close to midnight. So we ain't going to get much sleep tonight. You know, that's normal duck hunting. Camp, me, Thomas, Rocky, three dozen decoys and two 20 gauges. I think we're going to get it done. Hope's dreams, ambitions. I think we got a good chance tomorrow. We heard some birds where we're going to go. I have pretty good confidence in this location. This is my first duck trip of the year. Just got back from my big game hunt for the year. So shooting the new gun tomorrow. I am ready. All right, guys. I'm going to finish setting up camp and a snap of a finger. We'll see you in the morning. All right. Oh, there goes some. Two. Green ones, yep. We're finding a lot of good sign. We're seeing a lot of good sign. Some good duck food. A lot of feathers. Here's the only problem. All the cover's gone. What's going to save us on this hunt, I'm sure, is motion. And there's nothing to gather from or pull over. So we'll make it work though. We're going to use the shadows to our advantage. It's almost not even, it doesn't even look like the same place because of no cover, but I'm pretty sure my eyes don't deceive me. This is a pretty good sign. Sit, Rocky. Sit. We got to move. This is a waste. We can just sit with the sun out our back. There's actually been a lot of birds flying on her. Do you want me to carry that? Hide in there or throw it out there? I'll come right down the channel. It's all duck food. All right, we moved spots, guys. Had no cover there. It just was not working, but we jumped a bunch of birds here. It's probably another 500 yard walk. Minimal gear. There's still birds working and it's early. So I think we get these birds back down. I wasn't going to work over there. We were so exposed. So we got to move. Rocky. Rocky. Good boy. Good boy. Motion ducks, boys. Here, Rocky. Here, bud. Good dog. Good dog. Here, here. Rocky, here. Hold. Hold. Good boy. Toss us first bird of the season. Great greenling. Oh, stone dead. Sit, Rocky. Go. Good shot. I'm going to have him go with you. I might have to get Rocky over here. Rocky, here, bud. Come here. That's a good dog right there. Come on, Bubba. Good boy. Good good, bud. Good good, Pat. Good boy. Good dog. Good dog, here. Good boy. Good boy. Come on. Come here, sir. It's a gattie. Come here, bud. Come on. You're almost there. You're almost there. Come on. Good boy. Leave. Good dog. Here you go. All right. That's three birds down. Quick move pays off. About 10 minutes. Not three birds, so. This down no cover over there. Here we go. Good boy. Good boy. Good dog. I'm sitting there jacking around a Marco Polo. Talking to flyways collective. And I hear wings whistling. And I will say, I think the only reason I heard them is because this tetra's I'm wearing. It's my hearing shot. There we go. One shot, finally. Didn't start off shooting very good today. Good boy, here. Here. Come on. Hold the bird. Hold the bird. Leave. Leave. Good boy. Good boy. Hold that one. There we go. On the board, baby. So they probably seen a movement or something. Cover's definitely more sparse, I think, because of lack of water all summer. But anyways, stoked. Thomas has three. I have one now. He's a Drake Mallard, a hand gadwall, and a Drake green one. I dumped my jacket back there. You dumped it? I put it on the dog stand. Did you walk all the way back to the other pond? No, the far, our far pond. Holy smoke, bro. Here, Rocky. Here. Huh? I seen the shot, I was nice. Yeah. What it is, when other people are around, and I miss on purpose, because I don't like to show off. So when people are away, I do my dirty work. Yeah. You have four birds. You want any sour worms? Licks, I know. You're kidding me. He's swimming in circles. He did. The death swim. I had to. No. Good boy, get him. Fetch him up, bud. I thought you were going to shoot. I thought you were going to shoot that. And if you would have. Good boy. Just as low as he was. We might get the pack. Life, good boy. Yeah. Man, dude. It looked like they were going to do it. Good boy, Rocky. All right, two for me. It's yours if he comes in. Shoot him, Tom. Oh, good shot, baby. Look at that. Good lord. A heavy 12, huh? A big bead. Get him, Rocky. Get him. Where is he? Where is he, bud? Nice shot. Get him. Get that bird. Rocky, here. I got him, Tom. Rocky, here. Here. Catch him up. He's winding them like this, huh? Good boy. Good boy. That's a pretty green one. Good boy, Rocky. Good boy. Good dog. Good shot, dude. 20. Is the name coming to mind here? At the end of the day. Dude, the old Kirk? I don't know. I wasn't pulling the jerk string up first either. I don't know. Just saying. I need a couple more. It's doing something, though. Yeah. I don't know if it's because of the volume or what. Just a jerk string. And the old Kirk McCullough. You're a likes-maker. Breaking hearts. We should just name one. No. Good. So I got that. Sit, Rocky. I've gone at it. Rocky. Huh? I knew you were going about it. That middle one? Yeah. We shot so close together, I thought, oh no, he shot. He hit it and I missed or something. Good boy. Come here, bud. Come here, buddy. Good dog. That's a good dog. Come on, boy. Leave. Good boy. That's a nice trick. That is a nice trick. Put this early. I get about one more. I'm going to be happy. Yes. I made a bad shot, guys. I had to track this one down. That kind of Rocky kind of flushed it. My GoPro died. Hen Mallard. She actually came in pretty good. Thomas let me shoot since he has five. So this is my fourth bird. Good boy, Rocky. Here. Here. Leave. There you go. Fourth bird, Hen Mallard. Well, guys, we ended with nine birds. What did you get, Thomas? Two Drake Mallards, a Pintail, a Greenling, and a Gabble. And I got two Drake Mallards, a Hen Mallard, and a pretty nice Drake Gabble. We had to move spots and stuff, but it ended up working out for us, as you can see. Yeah, twice. A couple years ago, there was great cover in this pond. Zero. Zero. We had to move that late and then kill nine birds. I think that's pretty good, so. Anyways, that motion ducks really was, I feel like a big key, honestly, because when we moved, you don't want to take all your decoys. We just kept the four on the motion ducks, and now the birds are killed today. We're just from for decoys and the motion's better. We're going to go get some breakfast, and then try to clean it up tonight and see you at lunch. All right, we're back out here, and it is blistering hot. We kind of came out here late because it's so warm. We know the birds aren't going to fly until the last probably hour, hour and a half. Me and Rocky are sharing the dog stand, and Thomas is over there. I think it's going to be fast once it starts, and then get out of here. We're going to have to probably have a thousand skewed bites, so I can tell you that. All right, guys, not to be disrespectful to the harvest of the game, but I missed on the first one. That was 25 yards with this pattern master on the 20 gauge with heavy bismuth. Thomas said, oh, did you headshot at that thing? I was like, really? We're just trying to finish our limb, as you can tell, but he got a hen shoveler, and I got one. He needs one more. I need two more. Hey, they'll finish the bag all day, son. Oh, Rocky, boy. Good retrieve. Ha, ha, sit. Sit. Get him, Rocky. Nice. That was cool. Yeah, that was cool. Shoveler saved the day, baby. 20 gauges. Poppin' like pop rocks. 10 spoons will always come through. Here, buddy. Here, here. Good boy. Here. Come on. Come on. Come on. Leave. Come here. Did you ever hurt? Back. Here. There we go. Good boy. Oh, yeah, you're done. Nice. That worked out nicely. Good boy. Good boy. Leave. Good boy. See how he's holding it, too? Yeah. That's a drake. That's a hen. Well, that's a wrap, folks. I hope you guys enjoyed that video. We'll see you on the next one.
