[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks!

[@jh14102]

Walking in and kayaking are my only choices.

[@eduffy4937]

Double duty for the float shooting: put a paddle leash on the butt of your gun. I have a rear sling swivel clip i put on mine. If you dump or drop your gun overboard its simple insurance to get it back

[@stratmanocaster]

Tough to knock down those big western Honkers with #4’s, even at close range. They’re hard birds to kill!

[@rileyp.1731]

I hunt my local river system frequently a good tactic I’ve found is in a situation like you had on the geese tie off ur boat and sneak up to the birds and it’s get you 2x as close, great content keep it up man🤟

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks 👍🏼

[@DavisNc]

Awesome hunt man! Before this year I had only duck hunted twice but this year I’ve gone about 7 times and got 15 birds all wood ducks or mallards, and your videos get me pumped!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Awesome man!!!

[@jcwoutdoors]

Very cool video! Thanks for sharing. As a lifelong South Dakota boy, it is neat to see the different types of hunting done around the nation. A day on the kayak with a solid mixed bag is something I can get on board with.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks

[@HighPrairieSportsmen]

Find someone who looks at you the way Titus looks at mallards 😂. I don't think I've ever seen you so pumped up.

More kayak hunts would be AWESOME!! I hunt 98% solo yak hunts. I pull my jetsled to haul more dekes and gear. Would be GREAT to see u yak hunting more. I just use my yak to get there & back. Dont hunt out of it

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Will do!

[@renogibbs518]

Great video this gets me through college 😂

[@thefowlobsession2027]

What type of choke do you use for ducks?

[@stevenalford3590]

Yes yes yes I love these vids

[@wiscobuiltcontractingllc1102]

Do you think that discovery 119 would be big enough for you and rocky plus gear and decoys?

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

The weight limit is 350 lbs on this one. I’m 215 and Rocky is 90. I’ve done it in KS with all that and been fine but it would be better to have a bigger one than this model, only because Rocky is so big. Most labs are 50lbs.

[@owenwilley5354]

How’s the balance while shooting? I ironically bought the same kayak before I left for basic training and was thinking about trying the same thing!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

I think the balance is good

[@eduffy4937]

I bought one of the discovery 119 solos tgreevyears ago. Glad i have it now i got back into waterfowlimg. Made good use of it tjis weekend shooting a limit both days

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

That’s awesome

[@RipnStikOutdoors]

That canoe/kayak seems perfect for that. I've been running just a recreational kayak, but that thing is what I need to look into! I've tried floating the river out here in PA, but need to get on some smaller water. Great hunt, love your videos!.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

It really is the perfect setup. Thanks!

[@pepepepert]

I would suggest putting a yak attack paddle holder on you rail to set your gun in. Also get some velcro side saddle shell holders and put them on the side, inside, of your kayak. I have one there and one on my receiver. Great shooting brother.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Appreciate it

[@kernmw10]

When you jump shoot hunt out of a canoe/kayak do you find it better to run a full choke or at least a aftermarket choke that's a bit tighter than a modified/mid range choke? It seems a lot of shots might be on the upper limits of shotgun range but just wanted your opinion. Thanks!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

I was running a full but I do everywhere I go no matter. I’d rather shoot wood ducks with a mod choke to not tear them up but like you said some shots will be further out so I stuck with the full

[@chucksmith5002]

Nice Ducks and Goose

[@riversmohr8109]

Yeah you gotta get a Nu canoe

[@Rockin_P]

Awesome video, let’s chat this spring and summer about a harli hunt

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Sounds good

[@garygasser6760]

The only problem with the Kayak is you don)t have Rocky with you

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Lol. Sorry

[@fishingvalley1166]

I like your videos

[@callspreadzero854]

Awesome river and scenery, and such interesting hunting style too. I’m from Louisiana and mainly hunt LA, AR, and TX, so this is quite different than what I’m used to. Most of my duck hunting has been confined to fields, lakes, and ponds, and always over decoys. Jumped some in the rice fields so long as I had good coverage on the back side of a levee but never by kayak. Started kayak hunting in college and fell in love with it. Would leave class at LSU, drive about 10 minutes to the closest levee crossing, and hit the oxbow lakes off the Mississippi. We definitely tried to sneak some but the river is so damn wide they would see us coming a mile away!

[@HokeOutdoors]

Great video Titus! Love these jump shoots on the river, just never know what's gonna be around the next corner

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks. I know, gets your heart rate up every time

[@AaronMaz]

So why choose a canoe over a sit on top kayak? Is there any specific or particular reasons. Thanks.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

For me it’s being able to put decoys and stuff in without worrying about them falling and I like being lower to the water

[@duckbrian7973]

[@morganyoder4277]

So pertaining to the regs you can hunt on any river within the 50 ft embankment or high water mark right? I've done some reading however I'm not sure, and I don't want to mess with regs in cali.

[@mattvanvalkenburg3959]

Do you launch at one location and get picked up down the river?

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Yes

[@db_hunting]

what camera do you have mounted? shotcam gen 3?

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

ShotKam. Not sure what gen

[@aimkhan83]

Awesome video. I’m kinda jealous, though. Season ended here in Ontario 🇨🇦 and I didn’t get to go out as much as I wanted.

[@jeremyshaver9432]

That’s it. I’m buying a canoe to hunt the CA delta up here. I know of so many spots that I can get to but it’s usually a decent boat ride to it. Maybe I can attach a trolling motor to it.

[@rodogoutdoors]

Watching these vids is the only thing in the world that helps with waiting 10 more months for my season to open again

Kayak/canoe hunting dwarfs any vessel otherwise. It offers discreet concealment and ease of access to all waterways. Great video

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Agreed!

[@christopherstrahm8936]

Awesome hunt man. One of my favorite things to do is get the canoe out and jump shoot some woodys in the backwaters of the mississippi(WI) with my brother. If you miss, your punishment is to paddle.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks. Haha that’s a good punishment

[@DuckalopeOutdoors]

[@charliechambers7813]

Maybe it’s different in the state you hunt in but I know that in a few states I’ve duck hunted in shooting waterfowl from a moving vessel is illegal

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Our state it’s legal as long as you don’t have a motor
