I get excited every time I see a duck camp dinners pop up. Combining my love for waterfowl, food, and camp camaraderie.

[@jean-paulbourgeois2871]

Me too! thanks for watching!

This one and duck lore keeps me goin

[@WaderHunts]

This might be my favorite of all the MeatEater series. It is just fun, relaxing, and always makes me hungry!

[@jean-paulbourgeois2871]

gotta love that right!?!?!?

Daniel and JP y’all killed it! Come back anytime, with or without the cameras🤙🏼

[@RichM1983]

I'm not even a duck hunter. I've never done it in my life but this is the best series Meat Eater has put out. It is as good as their Netflix series. I love it. These guys should start a series going around the country chasing different game. Their personalities are addicting to watch.

[@joose9328]

Don’t threaten me with a good time

[@jayschexnayder8386]

Thank you Richard!

[@saramunoz8742]

I second this. I am addicted to this series. It shows the culture, comradery, and tradition of the sport.

[@chazmtb]

What I love and what separates Meateater and especially Duck Camp Dinners, from other very good productions is the portrayal of the soul of the hunter and the soul of the food.

[@jayschexnayder8386]

All about the soul!

[@jean-paulbourgeois2871]

heck yeah Chaz. Appreciate you tuning in!

I have never craved food on a KZbin video more than I craved the duck camp dinners meals. The first episode. Land meets bayou I have never forgotten them. It would be a life accomplishment for me to try some of those dishes

[@clauderodrigue6461]

I used to live by abandoned railroad tracks and my buddies and I would use a red flyer wagon to collect metal and coal from the side of the track. We used a shop vac on reverse and a tractor wheel as a forge, duct taped the shop vac hose to a muffler and put tin can lid with holes punch in it in the center hole of the wheel. Glad there are people out there who had the same ideas as a kid!
