What makes an EPIC hunt? Let me know! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

[@brycepuchta9506]

I think an epic hunt is one where the birds are working the decoys beautifully, are almost landing in your lap and everyone is shooting well! Limits are always a bonus, but I just love it when they work it just right. I don't even need a gun to get excited about watching birds come in like that! 😁

[@alancox9207]

To be honest. Anymore, it’s when someone does not set up within 100 yards of us on the river. Last 5 times we went out, guys show up just before shoot time. Going to a new place tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed.

[@kitchencreekoutdoors6298]

I live in SE Ohio, simply we don't get alot of birds. We are missed by the Atlantic and Mississippi flyaway. Last weekend was probably my most epic hunt. I shot a solo limit of drake mallards and drake wood ducks in 20 minutes. It's been years since I took a full limit of birds.

[@podunkish2278]

Good to see the dog is workin for you. I just bought those journals for me and a friend to help us as we try to learn the waterfowl game. Our very first entry was a river float that we flipped the canoe😂

[@huntermiller5093]

When are more videos coming out? I’m enjoying watching all the videos and learning everything I can

[@thehuntingdogpodcast]

What a great dog!! you owe that guy big time!!!

[@turkeyhunter7617]

Man that’s a lot of mallards!! 👍🦆

[@fredclaymorgan]

Man now I see what those pics you showed me were all about. Awesome hunt. There were some ducks and geese around at that time for sure. Merry Christmas Joel to you and your family.

[@kraigkaatz6858]

Another really great hunt Joel... keep up the great work.

[@travisthompson6543]

Enjoyed the footage. Everything around here is froze up for the year so its fun to watch others having a good shoot. Thanks for sharing.

[@justingearey3988]

Thanks for all the great videos , I’ve been waiting for your next video ! Your channel is my favorite waterfowl channel.

[@kraigkaatz6858]

Phenomenal hunt... Zoey did a really nice job and she's catching on pretty well. BAM your the head chef... scout, guide, and you're pretty good at all of them... God Bless and Merry Christmas

[@luislicea3604]

[@bestcatchfishing2998]

Joel I just hired with you at cypress crossing it was awesome thanks!

[@garynewman4908]

My son and myself will be heading your way Sunday December 26th. I hope we see ducks and geese the way your video showed. Though we are not hunting at your lodge I hope to next year. I have a blast watching your videos! Awesome footage keep m coming

[@FirePirate099]

I got a pup from Jason 4 years ago. He’s amazing!

[@scottgarbs7761]

Seven shots to get the last duck of an eight-man limit! That last hunter was sure skillful in switching out guns! Hope he/she wasn't shooting TSS. Yikes! Thanks for the informative videos.

[@jeremybreeden77]

Looked like an awesome time. Merry Christmas!

[@SurvivingDuckSeason]

Fun times indeed! Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Awesome video

[@nasserkuzbari2205]

Amazing video...

[@whosaidyoucandance]

@Joel Strickland - love your channel, great content and great presentational style. I have heard you talk about motion in the decoy spread and how important it is, but I couldn't find a dedicated video about it? Specifically, decoys that move water around - what's best? I am not sold on vibration decoys, what do you think?? - Jonathan

[@jasongreenman2979]

Awesome video Joel!

[@SurvivingDuckSeason]

Thanks!

[@jamesandersen7430]

Good morning it is 02/27/22 haven't heard from you in a while, and I am hoping you and your family are doing well.

[@HuntinginLebanon94]

Hello nice videos

[@justcallmedyno8938]

Another great video Joel! I've recently discovered your channel and have been enjoying the library. Your videos are very informative for the absolute novice that I am. Unfortunately I haven't been duck hunting in 20ish years, but have many found memories of early mornings with my uncle and father. The reason for my post though is in regards to the Greatest Mystery of Duck Hunting. Just a thought, but I wonder if the popularity of the Texas style rigging in fishing could have influenced the invention of the Texas rigging system for decoys? While the weight does slide up and down the line unimpeded in the fishing technique, to me the premise seems to be the same; a sliding weight. According to Google at least, the Texas rigging style for fishing was popularized in the early 60's, so I could imagine someone modifying it to work with decoys shorty thereafter. And with this in mind, maybe it wasn't invented in Texas at all? Someone simply used the same name for the rigging system because it resembled the fishing technique. And you know the saying, "not all fisherman hunt, but most hunters fish". Anyway, just a thought. God bless!

What’s the etiquette on dispatching a bird when you retrieve it? I see so many videos where hunters carry their kill (or the dog is) and the bird is clearly alive and moving. Just trying to learn hear. Thank you.

[@SurvivingDuckSeason]

Death isn’t always immediate.... and just because it’s twitching, doesn’t mean it’s alive. I always check the bird to see if it’s alive and dispatch pretty quickly. We don’t show that part on video because it violates certain guidelines on KZbin. Regardless of etiquette or KZbin rules, the law states that you are to make a reasonable effort to retrieve/kill wounded game and immediately add to you bag.

[@mtsurov]

@@SurvivingDuckSeason much appreciate the follow up

[@bryantrimborn9489]

Save some for me and Ricky. See ya in a couple weeks

[@jmbrangwin1370]

Not seeing the link for the journal. … wait figured it out. Click on the video title and then links and info come up.

[@OutdoorOutlawsNC]

That 3rd gen dodge tho 👀

[@robertorrison6664]

[@SurvivingDuckSeason]

You can always find those things in the video descriptions. Here it is. You can also click the picture on the website to watch the video. survivingduckseason.com/phone/duck-recipes.html

[@jodeco6147]

Joel, is this the mid season update to the overall duck season? I’m asking because I wonder if the rest of the country is struggling like us in South Carolina. God bless!

[@jakeybakes5899]

On behalf of all Southern Californiaduck waterfowl hunters.... we're struggling too

[@jakeybakes5899]

[@cotycrapo2234]

We had a pretty good season in Northern Ohio this year

[@KryptiicKarnage]

Hey Joel I’m new to duck calling and I’ve recently noticed that I have a problem with humming into my call. Not really a grunt but more like a hum especially when I do a cadence call it sounds like this vibrating mess lol and I cannot figure how to stop doing it do you or anyone else have any tips for how I can overcome this and is anyone else having this problem?

[@SurvivingDuckSeason]

Practice blowing into the back end of your call. You will hear yourself doing it and can correct it. Clean Air!!

[@KryptiicKarnage]

@@SurvivingDuckSeason I’ll give it a shot! Thanks man!

[@waltweaver7297]

15 guys in a blind is not for me,,,

[@SurvivingDuckSeason]

I appreciate that. Thanks for watching.

[@wilesdukedubose4431]

Yup! Such is the way of the modern duck hunter. Gotta be a frat boy and a back slapper if ya wanna succeed. Can you say "date rape and gangbang"?

[@albertobenini7560]

Ho man.you halp my.aboat call dacks?i m italian.thanks

[@wilesdukedubose4431]

15 guns opening up on a pair of geese or ducks isn't shooting a limit. It's party hunting and party blind bag shooting. Jo3l, you should know the difference. I suppose ya got a good tip, tho.
