Duck Hunting on PUBLIC LAND (Super Competitive vs Other Hunters)

[@bearbarre6435]

I have hunted tons of dove, quail and chukar, and occasionally blue grouse, but have never had the opportunity to hunt waterfowl or hunt with a dog. That being the case, I found it fascinating to watch Sparkles when she was in her kennel with the camera on her. The intensity and focus she had watching you and even scanning the sky and watching the ducks fly was amazing! The eagerness she displayed waiting, like a coiled spring, for you to send her out to get another bird was as much fun to watch as watching you down another duck. I love dogs, and in my 56 years, I think there has ben maybe six months of it that I did not own at least one dog (usually two) and, though I have always trained and worked with them it's always been either for working cattle or security, or just obedience training, so I'm no stranger to the hours upon hours of work, training, love and trust it takes to make a puppy into a working partner. Unfortunately, due to health and financial reasons my hunting days are over, or I swear, after seeing Sparkles doing her thing, I would start retraining my dogs tonight! Which do you think would make the best retriever, A Toy Fox Terrorist, a Pit Bull or a Heinz 57 Mutt? Thanks for the videos, a nasty accident left me barely able to walk and ended both my career and my hunting, so now I live vicariously through Born and Raised, Hushin' and the Hunting Public. I am so very grateful for each and every video. With each one I watch, I can almost smell the deep woods again and feel the crisp, cold air.

Love seeing those proud dad dog moments. I love the feeling when my boy Gauge comes back with a bird that I had no clue that it when down.

Bro calling hard as fuck😂😂

[@claytonbodoh4914]

I could just watch Sparkles retrieve!!! That was great stuff~!

[@returnofsid]

Love watching Sparkle work!

[@mervinhershberger7284]

Great stuff ! Never thought I’d be so into watching waterfowl hunts and enjoying it this much ! Thanks for the great video Chase ! And bringing us along !! 👍

[@ryansayatovih74]

im jealous that you guys made a career out of waterfowling and get click bait out of dealing with the situations that the rest of us mere mortals deal with every weekend

[@TheFlyway]

I grew up hunting public land and vividly remember getting dropped off for the day as kid who couldn’t drive to spend the day on the wildlife area. We are fortunate to hunt some great private ground these days as well but we still hunt public ground from the beginning to the end of the season and it’s one of our true passions. Shoot my son killed his first ducks on public ground this year and I wouldn’t trade it for anything

[@TacticalFowlNW]

Fun Fact, John is a former collegiate rower. great hunt out there guys!

[@zacharyfelkel7924]

You should try South Carolina. Santee SC sounds like a war zone almost every weekend and at least those guys are hundreds of yards away. Around here you have people come in at 6 literally 40 minutes before shooting light and sit 60-100 yards away and sky bust anything that comes close to you or that is flying in your direction whether they can hit it or not.

[@dougmccoy1260]

You guys ever try spot calling? My hunting buddy does it quite often. He calls them to a spot somewhere else. I missed a great opportunity on Saturday. I didn't have my phone to photo him flat on his back with his feet stuck in the mud. I got stuck trying to get him out. This was in addition to falling earlier face first, mud in the barrel. There was great mirth on my part. Good times. Take care.

[@jdp2380]

Will you either post a link to that floating mojo stand or do a video showing how you made it? Thanks

[@TheFlyway]

This is the stand we use made by Decoy Dancer. It’s the only way to go! decoydancer.com/?product=last-stand

[@stevemcclaughry2728]

You got to love sky blasters, NOT 😂 love watching your little dog, she’s awesome!!

[@nicktoofar3514]

What tells yiu there was sky busting... Because they have ducks in their deks... Come on man

[@richiecaelwarts1911]

I got a few private spots my self but I still hunt public as well makes for a great challenge for sure great dog work as well .

[@thomasburns4034]

What actin camera did you use ?

[@jamesn8750]

[@v.l.bradley9962]

welcome to public land hunting

[@tjmurray1132]

Miss mallards shot limit Sea ducks a day ago . But they damn sure don't eat like greenheads . Nice work good dog

[@cm80]

awesome dog. eyes on the sky.

[@timberg7377]

Beautiful place and great shooting guys, I'm not sure you can hunt ducks with a 50cal , but the guy in the background was . Lol

[@bearbarre6435]

Heheh I didn't realize punt guns were still legal! LOL

[@brycejones1166]

I absolutely the camo! What's your thought on the refuge bibs? I really like them but there's not many videos about them. Love the hunting!

[@TheFlyway]

The new Cache camo pattern by First Lite is awesome! The refuge bibs are solid but we aren’t able to utilize them very often because of the climate we are hunting in. The refuge bibs are most ideal in cold weather

[@brycejones1166]

@@TheFlyway we goose and duck hunt a lot in fields so an awesome pair of bibs is what I need that’s going to last me a long time! The first lite ones seem like the place to go for that. Thank you!

[@logangustafson2613]

Sweet video, what cams/lenses you run here?

[@sprigs4days506]

What it’s all about. Great dog work,calling and shooting. Nice work fellas.

[@craigchalmers4326]

Great dog work!

[@micahbuzianis2968]

What waders are you wearing? Need some new waders not sure what to get.

[@manjunathaga584]

[@rodneyclayton6594]

What spinner rig is that

[@rolandlaviolette8451]

Man what a awesome hunt 2 man and sparkles she did a great job retrieving those ducks cant say enough good things about your dog Cody , I use to have a lab like her but he passed away along time ago I dont hunt ducks that much anymore I hunt geese in the field and a little deer hunting when it's open anyway I love watching your dog do her thing.

[@shawnwalsh2060]

I could be wrong but what my friends and I have learned only being able to hunt public land is take every shot you get. Most of the time they arent going to come in all nice and pretty. That is most likely because we arent very good yet but we get more ducks when we shoot them flying by.

[@scottty6250]

The 4 widgeon @3:19 saw you.

[@ryanchandler7434]

What brand of goose floaters are you using?

[@TheFlyway]

Those are Divebomb goose floaters in the video

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Sparkles is a really well trained dog. Did you train her or send her away to a trainer?

[@TheFlyway]

Thanks for the compliment on Sparkles. I trained her up through mid level handling and she spent a month at the trainers during elk season in 2020 & 2021. It fun watching her do her thing.

[@qdub8158]

What refuge is this?? So sick. WA??

[@delta9167]

Sauvie ?

[@caseycharter5731]

Why the HELL don't you two switch places so you're not throwing shells at each other?!

[@spoonyspoonicus4648]

That's some amount of badly shot ducks in one video. No wonder you need a good dog.

[@edwardgood1499]

Use the high ball or comeback call less and feeding chuckle more and yor success rate may increase

[@jimmyfumbanks6081]

Does someone normilly carry the persons gun for it .

[@tonysir536]

Blowing call way too much with the density of hunters on that refuge. Would have killed more birds if slow played the call.

[@clayturpin2558]

Man ya'll need to work on your shooting

[@Beatles879120]

Way to Much Talking not enough Shooting

[@bretreif7265]

oh and before you bad mouth me, Ive been hunting public land foe 49 yars. you arent even 49 years old

[@factstruth1520]

To all those who hunt just for "sport", Almighty God Creator of all heaven and earth will hold their souls accountable at the Great White Throne judgment. This principle has important applications for today’s Christian. While Scripture expresses a clear priority for human life over animal life (see Luke 12:7), animals are part of God’s creation and are to be shown proper care and humane treatment. Animal cruelty or mistreatment has no place in the life of a Christian. Jesus asked in Matthew 12:11, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out?” As He made a broader point about Sabbath-keeping, Jesus appealed to His audience’s care of their livestock. If they had an animal in trouble, they would help. That is good and proper. Jesus used the analogy to highlight the necessity of helping people, too: “How much more valuable is a person than a sheep!” (verse 12). In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus spoke of the great care God has for animal life, including each bird that flies in the sky (Matthew 6:26). One of the psalms expresses God’s oversight of all the animals He has made: “The lions roar for their prey / and seek their food from God. . . . All creatures look to you / to give them their food at the proper time. / When you give it to them, / they gather it up; / when you open your hand, / they are satisfied with good things” (Psalm 104:21, 27-28). God cares for the needs of His animals, and God’s people should do the same. Two important accounts in the Old Testament also reveal God’s care for animal life. In the account of Noah and the flood, God went to great lengths to make sure every kind of animal would survive on the ark. And in Jonah’s story, part of God’s explanation of holding back His destruction of Nineveh was the importance of the animals of the city. God said, “Should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left-and also many animals?” (Jonah 4:11). God cares greatly for the animals He has created. Those who seek to follow His ways will also care about His creation, including animal life. Animal cruelty, the neglect of pets, and the wanton destruction of a species are sin. Christians are called to care for animals, expressing the same attitude toward animal life as our Creator has.
