"I'm gonna find a log here in a minute"...if I had a dollar...🤣 My dad stepped off a sand bar in hip boots when I was young and I laughed... I found out years later why we went home!! LoL

[@NephewJamie]

I’ve never been duck hunting before seems fun!!

[@Nomorehandlenames9230]

Teal hunting is especially fun. They’re plentiful, decoy easy, and great table fare (even if they are a bit small).

[@aidenzanker150]

I'm not a duck hunter but hey, I learned a lot from Mr John Godwin just in this short video.

[@marks5757]

I must say the Duck Commander teal decoys are dang good. Very well done, low price and look like September teal. Happy buyer, highly recommend

[@troymitchell1747]

Mark Steffen I agree. excellent looking Decoys. I bought six for $30 and that included shipping

[@hokuinsai4299]

Fishing this morning & saw 2 flocks of Blue Wing! Can’t wait 😎🤯🦆

[@joeellis4013]

What state

[@brandonbrown1984]

We were hog hunting yesterday and saw 3 different flights. Man. It’s happening!!!

[@mr.nobody5080]

Seems like the man's genuine got a good heart. even teaching us how to attract ducks to kill he makes it sound so loving and kind lol

[@MS-tl8oo]

Its the sport of kings! Best time on the water you can have. You have to try it. seeing that first flight rip overhead is worth all of the the preparation. instant hook, and before long you are a duck hunter for life. but remember, conservation is key. any group you don't shoot will return in greater numbers next year. happy quackin!

[@Pinkyjojo29]

Thanks godwin 👍👍👍

[@jackkayla1881]

Always wondered why my waders were so wide up top. Fried crappie... It all makes sense now. Thanks Godwin!

[@BeardsAndBowsOutdoors]

The shake at the end 😁😁🙌👊

[@fannieallen6005]

Great tips for duck hunters. I hope they appreciate this!

[@paulhuval]

Great video can't wait till opening day of teal season

[@kevinmesillasoutdoors]

Lmao that lil dance at the end shaking like that but up 😂😂

[@brandoncorley1514]

When you say put jerk rig on the lead edge for big ducks. What u mean? Up wind in your spread?

[@jimf1964]

I love the how to ones. What sort of pattern to spread them out in, in different situations, is where I need help the most.

[@wulfthornoutdoors]

I love the tips segments of y'all's videos. Keep them coming.

[@jdkennedy77]

We go all hens only, maybe even some gadwall decoys or mallard hens since they aren’t fully plumed up yet. Bright green wing drakes or blue wing drakes...we keep those in the sack. And YES ripples ripples ripples!

[@jaredkoon1525]

Awesome advice!! Thank you so much. Gonna try to do some teal hunting for The first time here in southern Arkansas.

[@jeanrosario387]

Yesterday was my first day duck hunting this is awesome I'm gonna try it out next week

[@joanmarkiewicz3042]

So much interesting info & fantastic humor! I'll be thinking of you in the duck blind as the ducks fly past New York! Joan Mark from Upstate, NY!

[@terryfonz4603]

Just got back from opening and the ducks always change the plan on you! Yes agreed teal get down in the decoys! But this weekend there was a 25 mph wind they were getting in the decoys at first pass catching you by surprise no pass bys!

[@ann2des]

Great tips and I’m ready for some teal hunting videos

[@jakewalk3260]

Awesome video. Keep up the great work

[@bryantalbott4926]

Tks for the tips / never thought about using a dove / mallard spinner or a butt up rippler / will try this season / Bryan

[@higherthanmost1112]

Godwin you crack me up.

[@RetrieverTrainingAlone]

In most states teal are in eclipse plumage so 100 percent hen decoys for early season to match the birds. Size 6 or 7 steel for denser patterns on these small ducks. Teal typically inhabit very shallow water...exposed mud flats, 2 inches of water is prime for layout shooting out of a jet sled. Up here in Alaska , a couple thermocells help keep mosquitoes away on calm, warm days (our teal season starts Sept 1 and is primarily green wing teal).

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Can’t wait for teal season, almost time!

[@DanDan-jw1fd]

Good job John appreciate the video!

[@thelittlecajunwhocould5310]

Great information like always!

[@chrismac4692]

Godwin, you are awesome!!

[@susanschexsnayder1879]

great job never been in a blind but clean enough ducks and all that in my day

[@MrDavidelliottjr]

Godwin. You're the man

[@FinznFowl82]

I like the higdon pulsator, they work good

[@bryanwilbanks7235]

I learned a lot. Thanks!

[@donaldtouchton9523]

Awesome 👍👍

[@JoeKyser]

Big thanks to Godwin for this awesome tutorial. I want to go duck hunting so bad now

[@treydezellem27]

Godwin is awesome, just a good man

[@brandonbrown1984]

John - Let them work Public duck hunting enters the chat

[@stevendahlquist1597]

Never ever duck hunted , but it looks fun. Trying to learn

[@docholliday9696]

He is 100% right by letting them work.

[@jessenoutdoors8074]

We Usually have a long pole for the mojo

[@WalleyeHunter247]

[@georgemerritt2468]

I love Godwin he is so funny and badass

[@APOutdoors1]

Good stuff. Absolutely CLAPPED that bird at 4:54

[@TheAirSofterblaster200]

Duck commander, the leaders in waterswatting

[@joshchoate9499]

Teal opened in Tennessee today none on Reelfoot Lake yet

[@thedriveinopera8889]

Wish we had more teal than we do here in WV. We are not allowed to shoot them here, but the juices are flowing for hunting BAD by early September and we have to settle for geese!

[@baddadowtm]

I mix up my decoys. The biggest farthest away, downsizing with the smallest within dropping distance from my shooting spot.

[@joanneganon7157]

Your so knowledgeable 🙌💥 JO IN VT 💕😄

[@2231mtbe]

What's your opinion on using something like a pulsator by higdon or something similar?

[@wycks-5095]

thanks Godwin

[@leopardskills69]

Godwin the renascence man of teal.

[@jeffreybrooks4061]

Mr. John i would love to know what brand waders u use im a big guy hard to find big size waders thanks

[@darrellsavoy8417]

Went scout a little on Mermentau River on Monday. Water is tremble smelling has dead fish all over. Hurricane really messed us up for teal season. I do hear good reports from the rice fields. BUt who can afford that.

[@jpguidry6969]

Godwin do your 18 wheeler sound

[@eduffy4937]

Easiest way to keep a jerk rig easy to deploy, use, and pack up: buy a cheap baitcast reel and spool it with 80lb test powerpro braided line

[@mpfdfirefighter92]

What waders are you wearing?

[@mahmoudadel7919]

Are this decoy’s Avian X?

[@Dylan1094]

Are yall teal hunting north louisiana much?

[@chucksmith5002]

The Teal mojo was trying to dive on you .

[@BS-qw1mr]

Man said if you let the teal work they come in😂 my teal said “ oh more ducks bomb plane activated”

[@johnwsutton9467]

What would you tell someone that is just starting into duck hunting?

[@1ProShooter]

Godwin the duck hunting in middleTennessee is lousy. All but given up finding a place to hunt. Good to see Teal in your area. Cut em.

[@kevinkuehn6192]

Add some mallards to the spread?

[@brianickes5001]

🙏

[@bandedcalls]

Hopefully I have water for teal don't look like it though

[@backwoodlimits1772]

🗣💯

[@jessew9867]

No electronics in Washington state

[@twiliteagenda]

Is there no concern for alligators while wading?

[@larrybarclay5938]

I want to duck hunt with you

[@veiledallegory]

John, you know how you can tell you should cut back on the food? Your waders have a zipper in the front! Haha Potlicker Jase shooting them off the water!

[@logan6742]

It's on like donkey Kong

[@BBprod.]

First

[@chevyon37s]

Every other duck will light into a decoy spread too.

Yall ever kill a gwt during early teal season? All I ever killed in the handful of season that I got to hunt were bwt.

[@WhatTheQuackOutdoors]

Let em work isn't a thing out in public, because 9/10 if we have ducks working us there's some working other groups and the first person to shoot will scatter every single duck in that area. So here in public we shoot when we can 🤣🤣

[@jerometorrez8789]

Godwin what deodorant do you use during duck season big boys need special duck deodorant or what??

[@user-wm7bz5qn3g]

Dood set up

[@Nate-bo6ec]

Hmm didn't he say 3 weeks out before it opens. Lot of shots, no respect for poachers

[@sidrabeavers9519]

The chronic wasting ad is pathetic
