Airboat Hunting The Great Salt Lake | Duck Lore

[@jh_gk1592]

Let’s go season two!!!!! Getting me all hyped up for this year

[@isaacford4160]

so true

[@crookedbrookoutdoors2758]

Same here

[@CampusWaterfowl]

There's that infamous spatchcocked duck you mentioned in the podcast! Great start to Season 2, look forward to seeing where you go next, Sean!

[@dantwaites7097]

I used to hunt the willard bay area on the great salt lake. That is one magical waterfowl area. Longest it took me to shoot a limit was 2hrs, shortest was 15min. Took longer to set the decoys. Best day was 1 decoy and a limit of ducks in 15min!!!

[@LMRobson27]

One of my favorite series so glad it’s back

[@nelsonoutdoors9510]

Good ol Great Salt Lake, such an amazing and diverse area to hunt. Being from Utah I often find myself neglecting to really appreciate how amazing it is. If y’all get a chance to hunt it, take it cause it won’t disappoint.

[@zachozment740]

Damn. Being from Florida and around airboats all the time, I would love to see MeatEater do some Florida stuff with airboats. Run hogs, frog gig.. swamp things.

[@samb2233]

Same

[@marcusa.swanson]

New show title: Swamp Things

[@TheSnappleman75]

There is an episode where Cal shoots a hog from an airboat, I believe it was filmed in Louisiana not Florida though.

[@brandonsmith606]

Funny thing is airboats were invented out here in Utah for the purpose of getting out in the shallow water of the GSL then spread to places like the south

[@duck6885]

One of my favourite series! I hope duck camp dinners is back for season 2 also 🦆

[@OG_Ghost]

Agreed! 🦆🍽

He had a sitka coat on when he first got out of the truck. Then all of a sudden brand new first lite jacket 😄

[@kevbev1524]

Reminds me hunting with my Dad along Lake Champlain and the medowee river in VT for ducks and deer, squirrels. Miss you Dad

[@isaacford4160]

i love it

[@kimandgreg4404]

This is really cool, Sean! Your mom and dad were at Corbin's wedding and told me what you were doing. Your cinematography and narrative are top notch professional.

[@stanislavsidorov4973]

That banded gadwall drake is gorgeous. Thanks for your video!

[@caddisfly9651]

I grew up hunting the Great Salt Lake marshes back in the '70's. It was amazing then too.

[@tonykent4216]

Glade did us good here in Utah. Great job man!

[@BrendaBip]

The mud reminds me of hunting on the Salton Sea in Southern California

[@earlshaner4441]

Hi from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures in hunting

[@lukebutterfield576]

Fun to see you guys hunting in my back yard, and playing in our airboat around the salt lake shores is always a good time. Great video fells

[@patricklorenc6739]

Great Series!! Like all Meateater production, including Pardon My Plate, y’all knocked out of the park.

[@dr.dockter1482]

I just fricken love ducks, thanks for another great video!

[@farmingfishingfamilyontari2814]

Season two. Awesome.

[@wendoveruncensored3216]

I've been waiting for this episode. We are so blessed here most seasons

[@paulsly7246]

Another great show.Our duck season in Victoria has finished but Ducklore will give me my waterfowl fix until next March.Thanks from Australia.

[@MF-rg3fp]

Good to see my home hunting grounds make the show. Love the show, thanks. To all the haters filled with negative comments posting on here. Try posting somewhere else like political communities or other drama filed social issues.

[@hunterspencer9335]

Sean always delivers great hunts, adventures, and especially some real deal education.

[@PCSbball]

So hype for First Lite duck gear and duck lore!

[@kaleoariola]

Awesome, definitely some great hunting. Thank you for sharing

[@davidanderson1916]

What a resource with a great guide-- what a video 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

[@TheElementWild]

Fine shooting fellas!

[@sanjuancb]

This is fun...but is chef Kevin going to be back with duck camp? That was my jam.

[@OG_Ghost]

MEATEATER coming in clutch! Go ahead and sign off on season 3 because the Waterfowlers ain’t going anywhere. 🦆

[@tapeglue8315]

"end up on a wild duck chase"! I see what you did there. ;)

[@lonnywilcox445]

I remember my first time flying into SLC from Bozeman, coming over the lake birds as far as the eye could see. Couldn't tell what they were for sure but they had to be ducks of some sort. Things were already frozen hard at home and it was open water all around.

[@jimmurphy1516]

Hunted the GSL sloughs for 18 years. Mud is biblical. So much work. But memories were made.

[@Airsoftbonnybridge]

My favorite meateater show!!

[@joanneganon7157]

Great Hunt 🙌. Thanks for the cook up! JO JO IN VT 😆💕

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

WOW! That's some tough hunting!

[@111JZilla]

Thank you for more waterfowl content! 🙌

If you don't duck hunt, this series will make you want to duckhunt

Duck hunting on an air boat,you just can’t get mote hillbilly then that. Bring it! Yeeehaaaa!!

We don't have hillbillies in Utah.

Gadwald are 1 of the most common ducks we kill down here in southeast texas

Muy excelentes cazerias amigos

[@loneduckoutfitters]

yeahh buddy. well done.

[@badoutdoors5958]

surprised no one in the comments is talking about how much of a dead eye Sean is. No ammo is wasted.

[@ThatBritishHomestead]

That’s madness! That they freeze on the lakes!!

[@theealaskanviking5257]

Cool hunt! Let me know if you make a trip to Alaska !

[@macsmith2092]

That was cool. Thanks

[@mikeheston3558]

I can see the lake from my house. I never realized how great the salt lake is.

[@jamestudor1141]

Love it. My only question is how far away did you park the boat from that spread?

[@brandonsmith606]

We usually only park it a couple hundred yards away. The birds aren't pressured out there like they are in the inshore marshes and wma's. It's a different experience than anything else.

[@shakasangu4834]

Me to!!

[@hunt_trap_fish]

If only dogs could curse! :-D That made me laugh out loud. Anyone else catch the shift from Sitka Timber to First Lite Typha?

[@kellym3972]

The great st lake is 1/3 the size it used to be. Although it is a good hunting area. It is going to disappear just like every other body of water in Utah.

[@davidtam7224]

IT'S BACK!

[@GageDoesGolf]

Is that last pond you were on private?

[@lockguy2652]

aight...i am going to be the only one to say this but that puppy worked it's tail off. Hopefully they earned some time beside a nice warm fire.

[@adammccollum8740]

I really like his narration just like steves I wish the chef did it more

[@jaacksun4674]

God knows we needed thus

[@ikers1034]

I hunt the salt lake every year such a fun place to get some birds

[@Soundhound101]

The climate is truely changing. Extreme cold snaps in winter and heat waves in summer. I hope the birds and other wildlife can cope with us.

[@wings4078]

So,the end of the day those ducks coust you a cupple hundred bucks each ! Manley per suite ! ,leads good for you

[@underbikedoverconfident1142]

It was like 90 when I took the dog for a walk at 1930 tonight. I would have killed for some of that sweet ice.

[@TheChizzletube]

Very nice

[@Jccj93486]

I love this show but one- all those teal.. why shoot the smiley? Also- why send your dog into water in those conditions? I’m from LA so we rarely if ever see conditions like that.

[@meghan7547]

Are not teal and shovler's like bass and bluegill's? Pretty sure they are, in common terms, cousins.

[@thirdiprodigy3579]

Woop

[@christiangiraldo5311]

im new to bird hunting what does the duck band mean?

[@fredkimmel9149]

Bands are used primarily to estimate hunting mortality. When you kill a banded bird, you can report it to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and receive info about where and when it was banded. For an overly simple example, if 10,000 gadwalls are banded and 1000 bands are reported, the estimated hunting mortality would be 10%. Information about movements and migration can also be derived from bands, but mortality estimates are the primary purpose.

[@nicholasswain5430]

Gadwall was all we got most of the time

[@joshcc1974]

the GSL is at record lows this year.

[@alexlikens905]

Those ducks are not dead from the cold weather. They are dead from botulism

[@thatsammoray4884]

Let’s get the info from the band !

[@backwaterperformance2005]

Banded 8/21 about 30 miles from where it was killed

[@Ericviking2019]

Shovelers? On purpose?

[@jakedouglas2627]

No one else disappointed they did not reveal where the duck was banded?

[@brandonsmith606]

Most likely right here in Utah we have a pretty extensive banding program

[@cobb4657]

Shot one 2 years ago banded in Idaho killed in ut and seen another on a KZbin video and it was banded in hooper UT and shot in Sonora Mexico

[@ZodaPoppin]

Wheres rinella?

[@oakleylarsen3480]

He got fired from Meateater TV, he’s allowed to continue with the podcast and continue with his blogs but he’s no longer allowed in videos. The reason being his brother(I cannot remember which one) said that we need to stop inviting so many people to hunt because it’s making everything too difficult to draw, Meateater asked Steve to deny the things his brother said, Steve refused and was promptly fired

[@jackiekinner3826]

He is just busy filming the main show, writing books, as well as being a husband and father. The man is allowed to take a little time off. A little respect goes a long way.

[@blakenpnklr09]

Any way the crew in the video or at least in the comments tell what guns and ammo are used? That against youtube rules or a sponsor thing? Can't give a shout out without getting paid for it? Some people are genuinely interested in that kind of stuff.

[@rodneybiltman2005]

That kind of cold is rough on a dog's joints and pads. It stiffens the pads and removes their flexibility which makes it painful for the dog. And their joints suffer from a lack of healthy blood-flow because of the cold temp. And in these high activity situations the cartilage is starved of oxygen, and slowly degrades overs years. I don't know why anyone would bring a dog out in that kind of temp.

[@msa4548]

What's up with the band, do you get something special from it?

Awesome vid man ! Would love if you could check out some of my no scope action. 😃 Keep up the hunts !

[@isaiahtolo9819]

Lol - I dunno if I would be hunting ducks if they are obviously struggling - like fishing during a fish kill.

[@amerc7197]

Geez talk about over volume on the background music

[@TC-ve7mu]

Don't eat those shovlers. Full of mercury.

[@mikerhodes3563]

Baiting is what has changed waterfowl hunting -the flyways have been altered to the point that are not recognizable compared to 20 years ago-its become commercialized to the point that a normal person can’t duck hunt -there are practically no migration in the central flyway in Louisiana-only some teals -local wood ducks -the results is that duck hunting in Louisiana has collapsed

[@Soundhound101]

Utah is like Southern Alberta. Except there are no fundie mormons in AB. 😜

[@ByronGiant]

Yeah I really expected more out of season 2. The first season was pretty basic: go to place, yell "KILLKILLKILL"... show dead ducks... This really doesn't contribute anything at all. Shows like this drove me away from "outdoor" programming when I was a kid because they were boring and offered nothing.

[@alananderson1615]

People think Utah is great duckhunting but its really not. These guys have a $30k+ airboat and edded on a private pond because they still could not find quality hunting. Utah is grossly missmanaging their ducks and it gets worse and worse every year. I hate to be the person who complains but the decrease in quality I have seen makes me sick and the stories i heard from my grandfauthers make me sad for my own son.

[@MrDsondrup]

get out and scout. I have shot a limit almost every day I've hunted this year in walk in hunting areas. Theres ducks out there. Lots of em

[@brad1840]

There's something I dont like about the idea of "limiting". Pursuing an arbitrary number purely for bragging rights or to pad your ego just doesnt sit right with me. Something about respecting the kill

[@mightyjoeyoung1390]

Ok Karen.

[@danielwarzecha2007]

Dear MeatEater, if it does not have Steve then it is NOT MeatEater. Respectfully I request you to put these Steve lacking videos on another Channel!
