Duck and Goose Hunting the Northwest - The Grind - An Endless Migration Original Film

Take a journey to the Pacific Northwest in pursuit of waterfowl with duck hunter Ben Fournier. From goose hunting to duck hunting they cover the unique opportunities that the state of Oregon offers waterfowl hunters. This story dives into "the grind" if waterfowl hunting, the commitment, and the failures that make this American tradition a time-honored culture. Hunting is not always about older people, it is about the new, the young, the unexplored, it is about the Endless Migration.

Im literally addicted to the stories y'all are telling. It's an inspiration for sure!

Great video. Really put you in the moment.

[@stevefaber3459]

I am a 70 year old Texas duck hunter and I couldn't agree with you more. Put in the work to create the opportunity to shoot them at 15 yards!

[@Betterdayswest]

This season made me believe that even more. It aint hunting till you work them all the way in.

[@AdamDeMarchi]

Beautiful film. Hats off to all involved.

[@Betterdayswest]

Can't get no better right?

[@the_crushlife]

Freaking fantastic. Man, I can't wait to get back out this weekend. I'm new to bird hunting, but this video is a great visual representation of why I love it. Its not just about shooting, its the natural environment, my dog (who has alot to learn), seeing the sunrise, building the blind. The entire experiment is just a never-ending journey. Thank you for this video.

Right Im like dang I gotta take advantage of these few days left we got.

[@teekay1785]

Thats a great philosophy but not often attainable in a lot situations with a lot of pressure and especially public ground or hunting the exact same hole every day not a scout and move type hunt and lets face it when honkers commit they really commit . BTW I saw several shots at the ducks that though may have been close were not in any way feet down fixing to lite.

[@Betterdayswest]

HAHAHAHA they can't all be perfect wing spread opening up to us right. But yeah I agree the public hunt grind can sometimes be a little harder.

[@bennewell9503]

Nice job with ethics and mindset for hunting waterfowl.

[@Betterdayswest]

I think it's a message that's often missed for sure.

[@DeeloGoodquest]

Great production but I was waiting for the kill shots. Cheers boys and good luck this season.

[@Betterdayswest]

What sometimes it's nice to just see em fall in the back drop. Do you think it's necessary in every waterfowl film. Taking notes!

[@teekay1785]

What you largely seem to be doing is scouting and being exactly where they want to be then setting up very well which is great when you have a lot of private ground to hunt especially in whole different regions of the state and where there is less competition.

[@Betterdayswest]

Yeah finding that harder to get into as a new hunter. But have nabbed some private land with low pressure so that made a difference. But motion on ducks seem to be paying off the most.

[@daviddeiss3073]

I live in New England, but I always wanted to have a land or a place in the West, especially in the eastern part of Oregon. Maybe some day...

[@Saw_Squatch]

Just saying check out NILO farms in Brighton Illinois for an episode I think you'll find tons of great habitat management, dog raising/training and a great upland tradition on top of the great hunting

[@flmadehunts]

What kind of camera gear are you using?

[@Betterdayswest]

Definitely Sony kits with the low light abilities. I personally am using the FX6 but for most of this stuff Id recommend the a7sIII way smaller and lighter. and pretty much the same sensor. 70-200 and a 24-70 unless you want to pull focus then I have some other lenses you should try.

Fuckin sweet dude

[@Quantumanticz]

I love eastern Oregon. But then you have to live in Oregon. We left after My step dads business was burned down for having crocskin cowboy boots in the window right around the time of the antifa riots. Not a state to raise a family in. Great video and thanks for continuing the rule of letting them work for it.
