Australian Duck Hunting is a Beautiful Thing

The sustainable hunting of ducks is one of the most special hunting opportunities we have in Australia. Its a valuable opportunity because we value the ducks themselves so highly for their incredible free range meat as has been done on this land for tens of thousands of years. It's also this valuable because of the hard work so many hunters do to protect and care for wetlands and habitat. One of the most natural harvests we have on this land and the most sustainable, we need to promote and protect properly regulated duck hunting for the sake of Ducks, the environment and so future generations can enjoy the same.

I have to say you are very well spoken and a great representation for all hunters and hunting in general. Keep up the great times and keep those times coming 🤙

[@JohnJohn-zn8ib]

Hunters and hunting is not necessary, it’s just an excuse so dickheads can go and shoot at virtually anything that moves, then they say it’s for the environment, bullshit, all handed down by their dumb parents and or dumb grandparents.

[@huntingarete9214]

Once again Profty a genuine and down to earth show of the reasons and appreciation of the environment that Hunters have. Keep em coming Brother.

[@savvasstephanou2768]

Fantastic video mate. You do all duck hunters a great service by showing the public how its done, ethically/responsibly. Amazing job mate keep it up.

[@hunting4sanity365]

Awesome work Profty you're a top bloke and bloody great inspiration, loads of respect!

[@dazzaoutandabout4870]

Thanks for sharing. Brought back great memories of duck hunting with my grandfather, father and brothers years ago. This is just the motivation needed to taste wild duck again. Its been a while. Cheers mate.

[@maipenraionyourthai1943]

Always bringing that positive energy Profty...please continue to inspire and teach us mate. Love your work.

[@nobbyclark5093]

Great vid mate and great respect as per usual .

[@XarlVIIILegion]

As a rice farmer in NSW, I’m about to get busy with many, many ducks. If it wasn’t for the coof, I’d have you here in a heartbeat.

[@riversborg6715]

Good job mate showing off our tradition 👌🏻👌🏻

[@samg8388]

If we Australians get robbed again of our right to hunt and harvest what nature has to offer then we are to blame. Please keep this tradition alive. I live in Queensland and duck/quail hunting is not allowed here, and my dream is to do duck hunting so maybe I will make a trip to Victoria but I know no one over there and how to organise it. Are you guys using steel or lead shot? What ammo are you using/size. I wish one of you was using a side by side shotgun to even keep it more traditional. Great video and I really appreciate it….

[@dirtroadsambar]

Excellent, your passion and true description of hunting is a credit to you! 3 cheers for Profty!

[@michaeltopolino8017]

Love it mate and your passion and responsibility that's how we all should be. Harvest what we hunt

[@maxl3189]

Agree fully but if I see a mob of pigs/goat I wouldn't hold back

[@jeetts59]

Great video. This should be the official video for the protection of the hunting tradition

[@mathewpaynting3105]

Well done mate great video and some very true facts on keeping what we have by mentoring other fingers crossed next trip you come down for you can hunt for a bit longer

[@snakethepeg7828]

I love watching bird dogs do their thing. They froth so hard when a bird goes down and can’t wait to get out there! Awesome video mate I’m getting into deer and ducks myself and I’m dead keen to get out there and enjoy what this land has to offer

Great bird dog! I remember watching a PBS TV show years ago called 'Hunting with Hank' which was about field bird hunting, and Hank was the bird-dog. He was a wonder to watch.

Food falling out the sky lol who would have thought . Great video mate

[@tristanwilliamson2382]

Serious question.. American duck hunter here.. are y’all worried about crocodiles while duck hunting in Australia?

[@AussieBushHarvest]

It’s only hunters in Northern Territory (northern tropical side of Aus) that have a chance of encountering crocs and it would be a serious threat for goose hunters up there in the swamps. For the rest of Aus it’s not threat, too cold for them elsewhere. Snakes are the main threat all over

[@ADerpyReality]

60 thousand years... which means the indigenous in Australia saw horse sized ducks.

[@tonybedingfield9085]

Great video. Loved it.✊👌👍

[@leannasty]

I'm here as an aspiring hunter but being very picky about what I hunt. I've hunted roos and rabbits, and would hunt pigs and deer. I find it hard to know what the truth is about duck hunting. It seems like it's being ruined by a few bad eggs, killing too many and leaving them. Shame on anyone who kills one of these birds and doesn't utilise it. I don't know if I would hunt duck.

[@AussieBushHarvest]

You just said you hunted Roos… that’s illegal. But you clearly think it’s ok to hunt plentiful native animals sustainably for food.. in principle I agree. That’s why I hunt ducks. If there’s criminals out there who illegally shoot kangaroos and leave them.. why were you ok with hunting them? Right now there’s people in this country drink driving and putting peoples lives at risk.. does that mean you won’t drive safely?

[@leannasty]

@@AussieBushHarvest I shot kangaroos on a private property which run merino sheep, in a broad scale permaculture setting, where Eastern Grey Kangaroos are at plague level proportion and get culled in the hundreds every year. They have 'professional' shooters come every month or so to the property. All of the roo gets used, for humans and dogs a like on the property. Whether it was legal or not didn't really bother me - it was a sustainable and purposeful use of an animal of which there are too many. I'm not OK with people illegally shooting kangaroos and leaving them. Illegally shooting kangaroos and using them? That's different. I guess I'm missing the point. Why is it that every year duck hunting is in the spotlight and faces legitimate concern about being shut down for good? I'm asking earnestly. Surely there's a reason? I guess I'm saying I'm trying to find that reason. Nonetheless, I don't really have a reason to shoot ducks right now, myself. But I suppose I'm trying to determine whether I agree with it or not.

[@AdamBurdock]

awesome videos as usual mate, it great to see you putting up new diverse hunting options in Aus. can I suggest an other pig hunting video with perhaps a meat testing insight ? cheers bud

NSW has no duck season, but permits are issued to cull them if they’re impacting agriculture, especially rice farms

Or you could hold your nerve.. no laws have changed yet, and the unions aka the primary Labour Party base are up in arms about it. Plus the sham “inquiry” has added a racial/indigenous bent to their recommendations at a key moment in Aus political history with the voice referendum coming up. So sorry.. I’m not interested in your emotional comment.. I’ll never stop holding the line.
