Looks like a fun hunt. Now you're gonna get the 20 ga. bug lol. Same motto we have about what happens in the blind. Love the shotkam footage. Good luck on your next hunt👍👍

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Haha. Thanks man

[@archieconner920]

Do more 20ga hunts!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Def going to man. Loved it

[@baseballboy2215]

Great video! I also have a Franchi affinity and a Benelli m2 both in 20 Gauge and I often take them to the blind over my SBE3. 20’s are feather light and hard hitting with the right shells! Please make a review, I am interested in hearing your thoughts on it considering not many people hunt with a sub gauge!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks man! I love it and will be doing a review soon!

[@AleaveSpetzz]

Which of your two do you prefer more, I’m at a toss up of getting the franchi affinity 3 elite or M2 field in 20ga

[@baseballboy2215]

@@AleaveSpetzz I love my m2… I ended up selling my Franchi to a buddy. The Benelli feels so light and slender in the hand and swings like a dream! Cost is a little more but worth it in my opinion! Good luck

Where in Washington? It looks like eastern Wa. on the Columbia

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

You’re correct

[@tracyepeterson7817]

Mid Valley Mercenaries I live in Wa. but on the west side, I just started hunting duck last year, it’s tons of fun.

I can’t send you a pick you forgot to pick me to win 😂

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Haha

[@seanbanks7524]

Hey I've got a problem, I went duck hunting during the thanksgiving and I know that my shot is good but every time I shoot a wood duck or something its like they're not even phased is it because I'm shooting 2 3/4 7 shot?

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

I know that you can kill a duck with 7 shot but unless you get a perfect shot on the bird you’re gonna have those issues. Try 3 in. 6 shot if you’re concerned about tearing the bird up

[@asherdoepel2330]

I was just with Chris akin at my duck camp in Arkansas

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

That’s awesome man

[@chrisswain4303]

Send the birds down to Western Oregon. It’s been horrible so far this year.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

They’re all stuck in WA

[@dakota_lindsey2902]

Are you using birdshot

[@stevechmiel6016]

That’s all I shoot is my Benelli M2 the past 3 years. I got it dipped in Optifade and love it. Shoot the hevi X 2&4 at geese and 6’s for ducks as well as Hevi steel 3’s Would never know I’m shooting a 20. Never feel outgunned

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Oh reaallly?? Who do you send it to? I’d love to dip my A5 in marsh optifade. I’m totally confident in that 20ga.

[@stevechmiel6016]

Mid Valley Mercenaries Rob Roberts custom Gun works, but I think He can only do Benelli. Call the shop and check with him. I’ll get you the number

Thanks all the ducks are here I was in my layout blind and they were landing 3 feet away from my head I could have limited out in 5 minutes but I wanted to shoot most big ducks I wish I would have waited a little bit longer because after I limited out the pintails with sprigs started working I hope you guys can can come and hunt soon

[@TheGreekPhysique]

Wrap them in bacon and call me when they’re on the grill

[@lukebrah5954]

[@WalleyeMan02]

I don’t understand the whole “ 20 gauge challenge” fad. Many people in Canada are shooting them and have hung up the 12 gauges, we shoot canadas, and basically any puddle duck you can name and the 20 kills them dead every day. It’s not a challenge with the right loads.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Agreed. I don’t believe we called it a challenge anywhere but maybe you weren’t referring to us. 28ga. are fun too. People are more interested in sub gauges on KZbin right now

[@WalleyeMan02]

Mid Valley Mercenaries , saw it all over the place folks saying it’s a challenge to hunt with, I prefer my 20 over my 12 gauges all day long, and most of the guys I hunt with who joke about it keep their mouth shut at the end of the hunt when I pile them up, a good choke helps big time, I run a carlsons cremator mid range and just ordered the long range, nice video boys keep it up

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Yep good choke and ammo. Thanks!
