Duck Hunting - BEST Refuge DUCK HUNT of the SEASON!

[@lukebabb1480]

That’s a crazy mix bag!!! This season has gone by fast

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Woodies Bro way too fast

[@lukebabb1480]

Mid Valley Mercenaries hey this is Luke Babb but i changed my KZbin name

[@clayturpin2558]

By far my favorite guy to watch on KZbin. You call well, you shoot well, and most importantly you actually know what you’re shooting at. Glad to see there’s still people out here still doing it the way it’s supposed to be done! Keep the awesome vids comin! I’m just gonna sit here and wish we got birds like that around here lmao

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Appreciate the kind words!

[@cfoutdoors243]

Looks like a great hunt. Always nice to get your pintails. Congrats to Rocky on 200 retrieves, he's an outstanding dog. Keep up the great vids👍👍

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks!

[@morganyoder4277]

I’m voting for Leroy. Great video as well, hopefully this continues on in CA. Keep them coming.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks. We hope it does too!

[@cafowler559]

Nice hunt! I’ve been there Jake, just yesterday I was lagging behind the blind mates. Just couldn’t shoot at all. Way to hang in there and get it trending up again at the end! Rocky is very impressive! 200 retrieves is a great total for a year and with time left it’ll be even higher! Leeroy all though I think lucky Cinner we be better

[@ksoutdoorsports]

What a great hunt! That spot is classic duck juice. Love the early morning fog.

[@chancem718]

Great hunt man! I was just talking trash on the last video about pass shooting so much and you guys decoyed them great in this one!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks. The joys of refuge hunting. Pretty hard to decoy but it does happen once in awhile

[@chancem718]

Mid Valley Mercenaries I hunt public refuges here in Texas I know how it can be at times

[@gpoutdoors1130]

That was some good situational awareness on not accidentally shooting that pintail . Great hunt man

[@adrianvillalobos1743]

Leeroy for the win!!!!!!!!!! I was so pumped when you said that name!!! Amazing hunt by the way, love seeing limits!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Haha 👍🏼

[@CalSprigs]

Darn pintail getting in the way of the spoonys

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

So frustrating. 😂

[@masondeyoung7213]

@@MidValleyMercenaries. Hi Titus, my name is Mason. I really enjoy watching your videos and I have met you twice. Once at little dry Creek and once at Los Banos in the lottery. I would really love to hunt with you one time this duck season. I am a good shot, this last junior season I killed my limit in 11 shells. I won’t shoot over your head and I only shoot my side. Really excited to hunt anywhere in the grasslands with you this coming season and if I draw a reservation, I would call you, What song is my dad says it’s OK

[@Max-dx7rd]

Love watching y’all crush it here in California. Ain’t nothing like it

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks!

[@stevedyer5902]

What a great hunt! What a great DOG! We appreciate for your investment in those ShotKam cameras....I bought mine in 2018 on Black Friday and saved about $150. I was happy to see they ran a similar sale in 2019. Expensive, but what a difference they make in remembering each hunt. My hat is off to Thomas for that fine triple. After 27 seasons of Duck Hunting, I have never been able to pull that off.......lots of great shooting all around! Thanks again, Uncle Steve

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks!

[@Kaleb-ts3uo]

We were out there the same day near you guys. Every time we saw birds fly close to you guys they got dropped on the first or second shot. Good job. We ended up with 2 drake pintails, a hen pintail, drake spoony, hen spoony, and a hen mallard.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

I was wondering how you guys did. That’s still a decent day. Fun to hunt this refuge in the morn if ever get lucky enough to draw a rezy

[@roblacitinola866]

That Rocky's awesome man, great dog, love watching his methodical approach, he's like the terminator man!! Just driven, that's what makes a great dog! Good for you!! The "Thug life" deal was priceless!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Haha ya I’m very fortunate. Duck Hunting wouldn’t be the same without him

[@michaelprevost1229]

Great hunt..That what duck hunting is all about. Alot of fun and ball busting.Great job guys

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Exactly. Wouldn’t be fun if you didn’t

[@danielholder511]

That triple and double was SLICK

[@HighPrairieSportsmen]

Holy smokes! Those are some beautiful spoonies. Great hunt Titus! PS: Jordo, look at those bull sprigs

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Great hunt - that Rocky is the Boss 🤪‼️

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks

[@jeffreydavis8838]

My fave part of this video was the part watching Rocky retrieve the multiple falls from the camera behind the pit. Best retriever on the webs! Have you ever thought about running tests with him?

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Jeffrey Davis love hunting with him. I have, just haven’t had the chance

[@nategaris3457]

Very much enjoyed this video. Nice birds, good shooting and a great retriever! Thanks for sharing. Love following your channel.

Nice hunt!!!!! I hunted Howard that morning with no flight and then shot down to the same refuge you were on.....got on at 1245 free roam....seen you boys leaving down the levy around 2pm....yelled out ....Travis....LOL but you didn't hear me. I got 4 that afternoon.....great bird flight. Keep at it with the great vids. I am voting 'Rusty' for that lucky decoy.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Lol. Your brother told me you were there afterwards. We never heard anything. We were hustling out so someone else could go in

[@katiesadventures1223]

Great video guys 🔥🔥🔥👍

[@jasonwaldon7438]

Thats awesome... Late season is picking up here in SW Missouri ive shot my mallard limit 3 times in the last week. Early season was good but it slowed way down in December

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Nice! I guess we both need to get it while the gettin is hot. Coming to an end too fast

[@jasonwaldon7438]

@@MidValleyMercenaries yep its coming to an end to quickly...I emailed a pic from a solo hunt on tuesday.

[@sawyerherring4801]

Quick question. In Cali do ducks ever lock up and try to land in the decoys? It looks like you have to pass shoot on a lot of your ducks.

[@sandmanyaggy822]

Are any of you guys doing the ultimate waterfowl challenge? If not, man you should

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Ya I’m working on it

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Ya he’s 2 yrs old now

[@the_sle3ty54]

Mid Valley Mercenaries that is awesome by this video I can tell that you did very good with training him, if you ever get another dog or one of your friends get one could you maybe do like an updated training video or something like that that is longer because I want to eventually get a dog and train it but the videos were too short

Appreciate it!

[@coryjohnson8206]

Sweet vid. You brothers sound exactly alike haha love watching Rocky work! Question, maybe im dumb but is the red dot on the shot came where you are actually aiming? It always seems on all these shot cam videos that the dot is way out in front of the bird, and makes me think wow I don't lead enough... mostly on birds flying east west/west easy , straight on birds it dosnt seem so much. Or is the dot just a reference to show approximately where your aiming?

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

The red dot is where we’re actually aiming

Big red fo life
