Mallards DUMPED Into This ICE HOLE! (Limited Out) | 28 Gauge Duck Hunting

Matt is out in some miserable conditions for a solo duck hunt with his 28 gauge. There weren't a ton of ducks around but the ones that were decoyed right into his spread and didn't want to leave! It wasn't long before Matt had an all drake limit of mallards. Hard to beat duck hunting an ice hole in snow and sleet. It was an awesome day of duck hunting!

I've been hunting duck and pheasant for over 40 years and I want to tell you that I love your videos. Your awesome, you make me feel like I'm in the blind and the cold with you. I just had shoulder replacement surgery and your videos have REALLY helped get through the recovery. Thanks

[@wesleywalker1682]

Spring is finally here in our state, but I gotta say those gray skies and the sound of sleet on the marsh grass really got me excited for next year. Had to laugh when it took you 3 shots to kill that one on the water. That's ok. I usually take 6 or 7 after a lengthy chase with the kayak, dog, etc.😃

[@tommyslatts3202]

Is this a remote area or early in the season? These ducks don’t seem to be at all gun shy. Also not sure if it’s just in this video, but you appear to be rushing your first shot without a good follow through, then correcting it with the second shot perfectly adjusting the lead. Some hunters choose to load only one cartridge for a little while to correct this, as it puts more emphasis on taking your time with it. PS. So often harder to kill/ finish them on the water when their vulnerable parts are submerged. Pellets can just bounce off the feathers! Great video, cheers from Australia.

[@HighPrairieSportsmen]

Thanks! It was late in the season. The weather had them looking to decoy. I was rushing my shot this day for whatever reason.

[@tommyslatts3202]

@@HighPrairieSportsmen happens to us all. For some reason I feel I rush my shots more when I’m shooting alone, not quite sure why. Sometimes it’s just so exciting when they pitch in, especially if it’s been a quiet morning. I love how universal the feeling of waterfowl hunting is amongst those who partake in it, no matter where in the world you are. Cheers

[@callyakn718]

Here’s a question from a uk shooter, out of interest did you not see them coming in to shoot before land, and also if it did land and didn’t want to get up can you leave it in the decoy pattern to tempt others ?

[@HighPrairieSportsmen]

Correct. With the weather, they were decoying in immediately with little time to shoot. I could have but there weren't many birds around that day.

I feel like I get less BB's in the breast when water swatting. Where I hunt you don't get very many opportunities anyways so I take what I can get when I can get it.
