Duck Hunting - The BEST KAYAK DUCK HUNT I've EVER Had!

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

[@brandoncorley1514]

U NEVER kno until u GO!!!! Thats one reason I love going duck hunting!!

[@danielmcdonald5366]

Aww!! The river hunts. Sometimes the river gives, sometimes it takes. Definitely has its pros and cons. Way to get it done.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

It sure does. Thanks

So cool to just paddle down river seeing different sights all day while shooting some birds. Looked like a great day. 🤙🏻

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Ya it is.

[@BLASTER-vb5wu]

This was a great river hunt. Unlike the last river hunt that haunts us all. Glad you were blessed with a great day!! Nice Birds!!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks!

[@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!

[@paulvidonic8602]

I am so happy for you. Great surprise getting those mallards. You never know unless you go.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks. So true

[@ksoutdoorsports]

This looks like a ball! I haven't hunted a river for ever.

[@DuckalopeOutdoors]

Awesome hunt! Great mix bag! We hug the right side for right turns too! 🤙🏼

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!

Awesome hunt. I was wondering who was going to pick you up and take you back to your launch point! 😂😂 that is an amazing pile of birds!!! A perfect bag for a solo kayak hunt. Your channel has been 🔥 this season. I’d pay good money to see Travis’ face when you showed him that pile! 🤣🤣 keep the videos coming

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!

[@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🤟

[@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

[@stratmanocaster]

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

[@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.

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Sounds good

[@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

[@hooves17]

Such a cool way to get some birds!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

It’s fun for sure

[@billashlynlander236]

Sweet hunt dude

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

[@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.

[@williampeacock9670]

That was a cool hunt.

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

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

[@zackbohannon5404]

Awesome hunt bro! This made my day. I’d take 4 birds any day of the week and twice on Sunday! 🤘

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Thanks! Same here!

[@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

[@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.

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.

[@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
