H41 - EPISODE 5: WASHINGTON

Washington
If I could sum up Washington in a small statement. It’d be...
“Let’s hunt sea ducks in the morning then go hunt geese and puddle ducks this afternoon.”
How fortunate is that!!!
We met some amazing people doing some amazing things in Washington. The Otto Family is the prime example of passing down the passion of American Waterfowl. Getting to see them and meet them was inspiring to me as father. Everything that John has done for Washington waterfowl is how every one us should be striving to do in our home states. Volunteer, attend biologist meeting, participate in banding and fight to keep a species alive.
Another highlight was meeting Mather from Slade Northwest. A guy that makes part of his living filming hunting year round. The hiking, the early mornings, packing so much gear and he has never harvested an animal! Seriously!!! I was blown away when he said that. Yet Mather produces some of the best films out there and absolutely loves it as much as any Hunter.
Washington.... diverse in every way possible! If you get a chance go hunt Washington. 
Thanks for tuning into episode 5 of the Chase For 41.

Rest in peace Jackson. I’m his sister & I love watching this video!! Thank you for capturing him & my dads great spirits!

[@finsfeathers3215]

Wow!! John Otto you did the first bird I ever had taxidermied (Gadwall drake). I use to work dogs with your dad back in the day. Glad to see your still at it. Me too this is my 35th season shooting ducks. Great Video!!

[@BeatRock253]

What a great movie you guys made for Washington. This accurately depicts our diverse waterfowl hunting state.

[@HUNT41]

Washington was amazing and you all are lucky up there. Very few states you can shoot sea ducks, puddle ducks and geese in the same day!

[@TheRyantanner]

you guys should really get with Outdoor channel or pursuit channel and have them air these, every hunter needs to see these, not just us waterfowlers on youtube, just a fantastic series... if you guys want to do one up on Lake Superior let me know, its not really a lights out type of location but its 100% a unique place to hunt

[@operationNOBO]

Props to Mather, not knowing a thing about this kind of hunting at first and still able to catch incredible footage.

[@timbrady618]

An absolutely beautiful ode to the waterfowl community. Keep up the excellent work gentlemen!

[@aaronwright6338]

Fantastic! Super well done guys. Made me miss my home state. You guys captured it perfectly. Just a few more months; thanks for reminding me why I live for this!

[@jlogancreatives5611]

Much love to my favorite film crew!

[@teddysmooth267]

You guys are my favorite waterfowl channel. Epic videos always

[@apbt8220]

I’ve been checking every day for this to drop! Great job on the series

[@lborneman00]

These edits are legitness!🔥 I always look forward to the next one!

[@doscherhill4335]

Excited to see y’all do the mottled duck hunt

[@JoshSDshot]

Just found this channel . Its awsome guys keep up the good work!!!

[@Westhillsk9]

Amazing work and educational! Washington is more than amazing, thanks for showcasing its qualities.

[@northofseven4233]

Another great one. Can’t believe you don’t get more views.

[@aaronsnatic2446]

Loved it! Wish I would have had a chance to hunt out there when I was in the yards in Bremerton decomming a submarine.

[@tjbier]

Well done guys! I Enjoy watching this series!

[@english_pointer]

Amazing video, well worth the wait.

[@keithlohbc]

I look forward to these a lot. Very high quality, love the editing and the vibe and love they give voice to hunters from all over. This ep was legendary. It's very close to what I see up in BC with big waves mashing the shore. I don't see the divers they get but hoping to chase them once i get more mobile.

[@kingbubba65]

Yeassssssssssss 🤘🏻🤘🏻 good work guys

[@easterncurrentfishing]

Can’t wait for the next one!

[@typ1027]

Awesome video as always! Great work!

[@rashjordan]

Awesome! Great to see some hunting in our backyard! Now I need to figure out the sea duck hunting...seems challenging with all the development around Puget Sound.

[@IslandOutdoors]

As always exceptional content guys! thanks for the behind the scenes look!

[@TooManyHobbies]

Did I see that right...a bird mounted in one day? Harlequin is the dream bird!

[@C_Tutt]

Yeah mounting a bird isn’t that hard when your solo but when you take it to a company in the season of hunting ducks they get however so many birds in a day and get backlogged

[@jamesonwojtkowiak9751]

come hunt the chesapeake

[@brandoncorley1514]

LOVE each and Every Vid!!

[@SoutheasternOutdoors]

Great footage. Choot em

[@cliffhall97]

Missing yall's videos.

[@kjc9293]

Possibly the best state for the complete waterfowler!!! Long seasons and liberal limits!!

[@jonclark9757]

Flooded unharvested corn? Jeez......I’ll pass. Enjoyed the sea duck episodes.👍

[@Morpheen999]

You never get the same experience, until your the one pulling the trigger

[@aidangalanti69]

It’s sad that I live in this state and have no idea where to go and shoot these sea ducks... I need help!

[@HUNT41]

Go to our website Hunt41.com and join in on your state. You’ll probably meet some new friends willing to help.

[@lost80productions13]

when he said mallards don’t come in like this anywhere else in the world he’s obviously never been to kansas or arkansas

[@InvestorAcademyPodca]

Or any other private flooded corn private club. The sea duck portion was awesome though.

[@midwestflyfishing]

Are you guys planning on doing Minnesota ?

[@mrhuntinjunkie]

@13:00 "the # of birds you see and they want to be in here....because of the warm water" why don't you seen anything like that anywhere else?...You think the planted and flooded corn have anything to do with it?

[@rickykranz8028]

Do those sea ducks taste any good?

[@benburress9481]

I Like everything about these videos just not the music

[@DClem1468]

I like it, it's funky and no one else has their style.

[@BadAssBassFishermen]

They didnt do the east side of the state justice, the mount of birds there is ridicules

[@dylanmcgovern1253]

What book is that?

[@chrisgoff846]

A season of wing shooting: hunting tales from Washington State by John Otto

[@jonathanmelanson3257]

Ya well they're not fit too eat good for dog food

[@Aaron-ck5gk]

Waaaay to much info given/shown on the sea duck spots...

[@harrisonthrasher55]

They are sea ducks. Nothing to do it. The easiest duck hunting there is

[@TyFishing]
