Do you think that fully flocked goose silhouettes are worth it or should I stick with non flocked?

What part of the country do you live in I’d love to collaborate on some waterfowl videos

Pretty much it seems like you pay a ton of money built off the fact that they are the lightweight decoy and they last but if you don't ad the weights that make it the same weight as every other decoy it won't right itself and once you have it outfitted the way you need it to actually hunt smoothly between the heavy string and weights it'll weigh the same as any other and it's not as realistic as other decoys. Hmmm I'm not sure what the deal is. Maybe they should just say it lasts forever and not mention the weight. I see a lot of guides using these, and I can't imagine a guide is gonna want to go hand place ever decoy every trip. Idk for some reason I got excited about them but I think I'll just stick to the ones I'm using also I see they don't have any different head positions they are mostly high head all looking the same direction and unless you string half from the rear they are gonna look like a spooky flock of ducks facing the wind ready to lift off which I learned early on isn't good so I like to use a bunch of relaxed natural head positions. Watching wild ducks the only time they are all facing the same direction with a high head is when they are about to check out. Anyways you did a great video on them and are very knowledgeable I was looking for reviews to see what all the fuss was about with these deeks after I seen the price. You would think making that kind of money they could afford some different molds. Or have swivel heads. Or at least some feeders but they probably all gotta be centered and low so they aren't doing the back stroke all morning. Lol. The only reason I'm so picky is I gotta be in at the bottom of the flyway and we're the last ones to hunt these birds they got a doctors in busting people and at least a masters in decoy spreads so I gotta keep mine very realistic and natural to convince em it ain't a set up. If I were up north on the front lines, I could probably get away with a spread of painted 2 liter bottles and crab pot buoys for decoys and still slay em but sadly I'm not and you just about how have pet ducks for decoys to convince em to finish if you want to do it right. I'm not big on sky blasting and dove hunt style duck hunts lolol. But anyways good luck out there and I'll be sure to subscribe to see your adventures and get a good look at what real waterfowling looks like!

you talk to much. get to the point

I like this Cowboy song "Tulsa Time ⌚", by Don Williams.

Keep up the good work man! This is great!

That R5 IBIS ruining the vlog segment 😭

1:18 earned you a new subsciber 🤣

Was thinking of these for hunting over water and also field hunting instead of buying 2 sets of deeks since they have a more stable bottom

I gotta get one of those f-stop bags!

Thank you for sharing my friend!

Good to see ya again brother

Great video, looked very fun ! JESUS Loves you so so much more than you know for sure !!!!!!! GOD Bless !!!!

Thanks bro! I messed around with my camera settings again, I tested out Picture Profile 1 and its way better than PP3. The color on screen is what i was looking at with my eyes. I dont want to do any color work in post, i want the best color out of the camera and not worry about it lol. I’ll definitely get better and more confident the more i use the camera. So I’ll probably get the hang of messing around with the footage color editing. Now for the resolution- i don’t really want to shoot in 1080, but ill stick with it because ill have so much more room on my sd card. 4k30 i get only 53 minutes. As for the fstop, I’ll definitely mess around with it and learn way more. I was concerned with low light especially duck hunting in the early hours and musky fishing in the evening. Thats why i set the fstop to 2.8 and set it to auto iso, so i could have useable footage when its darker outside. thank you so much for the advice and tips!

That was very good info! I'm only filming with one Gopro now but always trying to learn more about filming! Thank you for sharing and Good luck with everything my friend!

Dang GoPros

I recently got a sony fx30, i specifically want to do video. I will be shooting outdoors 98% of the time-filming muskie fishing and all other fishing as well, outdoor survival stuff, all my hunts- so ducks, deer, turkey, ect. So i needed a fan to keep the camera from over heating (12 hours on a boat in the summer for muskie fishing gets hot), i wanted to be able to shoot in 4k 30fps because i like the look of 4k30. But wanted to be able to shoot in higher frame rates just in case. I also needed a camera that was sealed and waterproof. I have a 18-55mm 2.8f lens and a rode mic. I know the fx30 has all that fancy cinema settings, but i shoot with auto iso, fixed 2.8f and I use the picture profile that uses the rec709, instead of shooting in slog3 and color grading afterwards. I thought i would be able to do slog3, but its way to much for me with what ill be filming and exposure for slog3 is hard to get perfect outside because lighting isnt fixed like a studio. I also needed a camera with awesome auto focus. So the fx30 was a no brainer, its really compact for a cinema camera and wasnt super expensive for what you get. I know this comment is all over the place lol. If you have any tips or recommendations, i would absolutely appreciate it.

Animals can figure it out and humans can’t, subbed lol

Made right there in China. Buy American Real Geese or Big Al's!

A cut down Olt may not sound good to you but it is Music to a duck's ear I have been using one For nearly 50 years

Check out Delta Duck leases out there in northeast Arkansas. They own Duxmen outfitters. That is Who we lease from and they have tons of options along the Cache and Bayou Deview. They are a little bit more on the expensive side though. How do you go about leasing your fields? Do you talk to the farmer directly or do you lease from a sub lease agent?? I would love some information. Thanks! ohh and we are from Bama also! Roll Tide!

100% agree - I have 4 dozen of them. (2x mallard, 2x wigeon) They aren't the most realistic decoy out there, especially the wigeon. But past a certain point I don't think realism matters. Visibility & contrast are far more important. The only thing I disagree with is the jerk string. Their drops are too long. They're roughly 6-8" long, which means you have 12-16" of hand movement that is effectively 'slop' where the decoy isn't really moving. Using the coated steel mainline is great though.

im hunting public land for sand hill cranes in texas. We got to walk a mile to get to the field and set up decoys. trying to figure out whether I should go with those silhouettes or Socks. I wish they had a backpack style bag for those of us who have to walk a ways to set up blinds, decoys, etc. Would that bag with 5 dozen decoys be a tough haul if ya had to walk a mile?

Ok I just stumbled across your channel and I’m super shocked on why you don’t have more subs. Super helpful videos and good quality. You got my sub looking forward for more content

Don’t leave them hanging outside during the season. Mine got faded really bad

I have a question how do you find leases I know there’s not many left out there but me my dad and brother are wanting to get a lease in Arkansas what’s the best way to find those available.

👍👍👍🎯🎯🎯Country rock geese

It's me again 🤣 What do you use for editing?

Great video man

Dope video!

Where can I get a hat like that??

I live and only hunt in Florida. We get zero mallards in my area. But the mottled hen (Florida duck) does quack like a mallard so I just have a cheap primos timber wench on my lanyard. If we had mallards here I’d try the cutdown style. 🍺🍺🍺

Beautiful as ever!!

Less is better 🤔🤙🏾

What gloves are those? Love the setup!

I subscribed because of this video. Really good video. Thanks.

The biggest disappointment of these decoys is the huge “ made in china” sticker on every decoy when you open them up.

Watch this middle of last season and started storing like you do let me tell thank you It makes setting up so much easier.Also be easy with the rubber mallet I split three in the late season

Tommy boy, not Billy Madison lol

Great content. I am looking to buy my first camera for waterfowl hunting. Not necessarily the video aspect but for photos. What would you suggest the best budget camera for me to get my foot in the door?

Just found your channel. Excellent tips and looking forward to following your hunts this year!

I wish we had Specks my way....

I’ve watched so many waterfowl videos over the past two years trying to learn and after watching this one I have to say you’re one of the best. Yes, seeing ducks being taken is fun too but sometimes I just wanna learn and this was perfect for me. Thanks for the video. Keep puttin em out. Subscribed and liked!

I rarely call up here in Alaska, mostly focusing on the spot the ducks want to land to. I set up so my hide is cross-wind to the dekes, that way they are not looking directly at me when they are landing into the wind: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpSxmo2ogreBjZI

Got myself 2 dozen of these this year including one dozen of the flocked black and whites to get attention from afar.

Those were beautiful calls! Thank you for sharing buddy!!

I've tried for a while to blow a Speck call, but it just isn't working out. I've tried on a buddy's call. I guess I need to buy my own and practice on the way back and forth to work. Do you have any pointers on maybe a beginner call?

“Buy your wife a gun, then shoot this piss out of it.” I love that, but I gotta find a wife first…

Have you had any issues with the eye bolt grommet popping out ?

I was subbed but wasn't getting notification till I seen Daddy Duck 365s video but hopefully I'll get them now! Great tips my friend!!
