Huge Flocks of Mallards In the Snow!!! : Duck Hunting 2023

[@paulvosejpka7287]

A little dog tip. I have a white bumper in my boat/sled. I use it in my hand to give hand signals. Think of dogs perspective...eyes a few inches off the water, poor light, sometimes surf, you in came with camo gloves against a background that camo blends with. I hold the bumper centered on my body for the sit whistle, then give over or back with it. They see white quite well...

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

I had never thought about that. Thank you for the tip.

[@13hawks32claws]

That’s a great idea. I always take off my hat and use the inside of it which is lighter in color.

[@ZAKOutdoors]

Snow hunts are always some of the most rewarding hunts. It's great to see Hunter out there!

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

You got that right!

[@HunterRoenfeldt]

It’s amazing how calling/ hunting styles are from location to location across the country.

[@Ariv98]

Ive never thought about that before!

[@DJDogg55]

Snow on the decoys is definitely the problem. Been there and noticed the difference. Great day hen slayer!!!

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

🤦‍♂️

[@jasondean4156]

When it’s snowing, we use less decoys and put the ones we are using on a jerk string. Saves a lot of walking to dust the snow off.

[@danpreville2726]

No matter what, that was a beautiful hunt. The snow big groups. You don't always have to shoot a limit to have a good time🎉 Hunter needs to slow down a little bit. He's rushing his shots I think. Good to see you guys hunting together again. Boys getting big fast now. You're starting to make me feel old watching your videos seeing these kids grow up

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Thanks for the comment. Much agreed

[@dlbehnke3815]

Great content. I love hunting whistling wings in the snow. Super jealous.

[@coldfridayduckcamp2457]

Beautiful hunt. Thanks for doing these videos - great work.

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Thanks for watching!

[@graydoncarruth5044]

No worries on the hens. As long as you stay within the limit, they all look the same in the skillet!😁👍

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

👍

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Love snow hunts!

[@DrakeValleyOutdoors]

It just clicked in my head that Hunter is a kid I had seen on a local group, Jason was posting him working on some of his own taxidermy stuff! Pretty cool! I never made that connection

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Yep, that's him. Good to see you comment Drake.

[@mnbednar8071]

Nice hunt. Hunter a good kid.

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Yes he is !

[@collynbuff6738]

Use antifreeze on your decoys. The snows melts right off as it hits. We do that for full bodys in the field

[@collynbuff6738]

Apply it with some sort of spray gun/bottle when you put them out

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

interesting idea! So just put it in a spray bottle, carry it with you and apply before setting them out?

[@northerntribeoutdoors5938]

My dad uses a round up sprayer, works perfect

[@TeamHmoobOutdoor]

Great video FDH just a tip on no wind and snowy days a pulsator comes in handy just to make some action and ripples in the setup but nice video...

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Good tip!

[@huntermilleradventures8070]

One to remember!!!!! Love the videos!!

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

We need to hunt together more often!

[@Wild_Upstate]

Absolutley awesome!!!

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Thanks!!

[@kevinwoodcock4122]

Great content as always. What size of shot do your prefer this time of year. i tend to heavier later in season due to the density of the ducks feathers.

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

I am using federal 3's. My shots are almost always inside 30 yards so id be okay using 4's as well.

[@turkeyhunter7617]

Cool hunt 👍🦆

[@thomasjohnson3793]

From the great northwest public duck Blind, Very nice hunt you can't beat that weather, Those ducks are hard to ID in that condition. Myself I picked up a couple Hens, Then I shot a nice green head that went over on its back. I can see from a distance it's got a belly like a Hen. I thought oh no. But no that's exactly what it was A hen belly design on a mallard Drake. I guess I gotta get new decoys. OK God bless from the great Northwest. Where we see some strange birds?

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

good stuff!

[@MaryanneCrisafulli]

Where all the magpie's bird's go remember

[@tannord4542]

Gotta start bringing that game winner jerk rig out with you just incase

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

I had it, just forgot the anchor

[@bretmcafee9331]

The kid sounds good on the call ! But he stops as soon as they come by ! He should keep calling .

[@4eknovi]

Отличная охота. Почему так много воды, это же поле кукурузное?

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Государство сажает его и затопляет, чтобы создать среду обитания для уток и охотников.

[@4eknovi]

@@FreelanceDuckHunting Это очень круто! Супер. 👍 Подпишусь на ваш канал, снимайте видео, очень интересно смотреть. Сколько можно добывать уток в день на одного охотника?

[@jerbattmen8143]

My favorite kind of hunt

[@quackkiller7774]

Hunting water in the snow is fun but man , it really hurt ya at the same time. Any snow accumulated on the decoys and they are not coming in to land

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Agree 💯 that made this hunt very difficult

[@TylerAdams-v6j]

No ducks in illinois unfortunately

[@meclay4671]

New gun?

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

[@jayklarquist7912]

You shot a triple.

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

There's two shots there. When I slow it down it looks like the second shot killed the duck. I think Hunters shot it.

[@jayklarquist7912]

@@FreelanceDuckHunting Ah. I didn’t catch the second shot. I just saw the feather cloud after your shot at the bird that went off screen to the left.

[@ducks_n_discs9143]

Weird to shoot a couple ducks then kill the mood because they’re both hens… it’s hunting.

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

We all have our own thoughts and goals. For me is disappointing to have a flock in and shoot hens. There’s no right or wrong . Just different people who do what they do.

[@ducks_n_discs9143]

I respect that man. The video looked great btw.

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

@@ducks_n_discs9143 thank you

[@llucq1]

Saw one of your solo hunts and thought you were in California, obviously not since we don't snow storm hunt. So where are you?? Great hunt by the way!
