My First Field Duck Hunt! | Minnesota Duck Hunting 2022 (Opening Day)

I'm back up in Minnesota and we're kicking off the 2022 regular season with some duck hunting in a field that is thick with mallards, wood ducks, and geese! I was planning on taking the kayak out to some public land but ended up getting a last minute invite from my buddy Jordan to join him for opening day in an area that he has been duck and goose hunting since he was a kid. We were able to find and get permission on a huge feed and come morning the action was fast and furious with ducks and geese decoying in tight. Hope you enjoy!

Good video buddy! It's like torture watching this before our season opens though haha

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks buddy! If only we had shot some gadwalls that would've really been the icing on the cake

[@owenwilley5354]

I’m right there with you waiting on nc season!

[@HighPrairieSportsmen]

@@HokeOutdoors I wish you nothing but gadwall limits from here on out

[@tracyelsinger1088]

@@HokeOutdoors that made me laugh because gadwalls are kinda looked down upon where I hunt. Not many people consider them a trophy duck. Guess it's all in the perspective.

Easily my favorite hunter yter

Hoke has easily became my favorite waterfowl KZbinr

Thanks Reese! I appreciate you watching!

Awesome video! Can't wait for the season to open up here in nc!

Thanks buddy! Just a few more weeks till y'all will be wacking them down there!

I’m a nc waterfowl hunter where you located

[@kenyondaniels2020]

Once when I went duck hunting there were lots of flock of geese

[@tombishop8083]

60 second fart!! New PB.

[@markmorgan3091]

Well, you're hooked now! Water is fun but,land is Sooooo much easier to hunt!

[@HokeOutdoors]

That's the truth! I still think a marsh or swamp hunt is my favorite style but fields are tons of fun and not quite the hassle

[@tracyelsinger1088]

Never had a decent field hunt for ducks or geese. Looks like a blast!

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks Tracy! It was something I’ve wanted to do for a long time and it didn’t disappoint!

[@140PatrolWaterfowl]

Don’t know what it is but mojos in a field just hypnotizes them, nice shooting Thomas

[@chucksmith5002]

That was a good hunt Thomas. Congrats. on your first field hunt enjoyed it

[@Rdixon921]

That’s awesome! Congrats on the first field duck!

[@fowl_vice]

Love your videos!! I was curious what your camera setup is for hunting? I’m hoping to start filming some hunts of my own!!

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks brother! I'm using two GoPro Hero 10s for most of the footage on these hunts. They're not particularly cheap but they're a solid option that won't break the bank

[@bobgiles2971]

Field hunting is a blast love it congrats guys great hunt

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks Bob!

[@RyanMOutdoors]

It's so cool seeing the rapid fire while it's dark out. Congrats on your first dry field duck. Our opener is Saturday!

Thank you!

[@TooManyHobbies]

Incredible hunt man! We rarely get good duck hunts in fields around me, but this looked awesome

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks buddy! Was a blast for sure, definitely something I’m hoping to do more of up here

[@Dr.Duff1]

Didn’t know you hunted in minnesota! I hunt up in itasca county. and i love it. great to see you in minnesota

[@tatecard6474]

So awesome to see you're in MN!! I've been a long time fan of your channel. If you're gonna be up here for a while I do a lot of kayak hunting in the bemidji area, but also have a boat for the big water divers late season. I'd love to take you out or you can even message me if you want a migration update. Awesome video!

[@MidValleyMercenaries]

Great hunt! Dry field hunting is fun

[@davemuli2711]

6:00-6:05 "I farted like a 60 second fart" we have all been there, worse wearing waders!

[@HokeOutdoors]

It’s even worse when you’re on the beef jerky and energy drink diet mid way through the season 😂

[@shotgunaaron]

Nice shooting!!!

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks brother!

[@braydenedwards10]

Love the video. Want to get up there soon

[@777497]

I really enjoy your videos, I live and hunt in California, when I don't have a reservation at one of our state or federal wildlife areas, I take my kayak out behind my house, while that may not sound very unusual, let tell you where I live. Lol.. I live right in the hart of Silicone Valley, where all of the major hitek companies live. I have had some of the best hunts of my life out there. I have been a waterfowl hunter for most of my life, and i just turned 59 years old. I would really like to know what camera brand /model ,it is that you use on your shotgun? I would love to video some of my hunts , out of my kayak. If your ever on the west coast, in California, hit me up, I have an extra kayak, and would be happy to take you on one of the best duckhunts you will ever have. Limits of mallards, cinnamon teal, and greenwing teal , aswell as honkers (canada geese) and a few mixed species of ducks. Our season is about to start this Saturday and it goes for 100 days. Good luck with your season, Dave the gopher whisperer... P.S. I'm a wildlife trapper, that specializes in gophers.

Awesome hunt, Thomas! Maybe you'll become a fullt time resident of the upper midwest?

How the heck can you guys tell between drakes and hens while in the air like that?

I just want to know what shells the guy at the far end of the blind was shooting!

[@jaredpursel9826]

Have you ever used a duck spinner while goose hunting a field just to add motion ? Thinking of trying it and don't know if it will work

[@HokeOutdoors]

Most the time geese don’t seem to like the spinner

6:00 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💩💩

[@Noneed3130]

Why i dont hunt in groups 3 ducks come in and everyone jumps up and unloads their guns. Saw more than afew times you up ready to shoot then 2 other guys jump up and shoot before you pull the trigger. Not my type of hunting i like solo or 2. Someone needs to call the shots in the group dont let everyone just blast away.

[@HokeOutdoors]

I felt like the communication was pretty solid between everyone given how large the group was. That said, big groups definitely aren't my preferred style of hunting in general

[@Noneed3130]

@@HokeOutdoors ya i noticed in alot of your other videos you normally hunt with like 2 others. You ever make it over to Montana let me know i have private land on the sun river we destroy ducks geese and pheasants all in one day. Ill limit out on ducks and geese then go walk the fields and limit out on pheasants and do it all over again the next day and the next day.

[@jonbeck8540]

Garbage ..too many hens

[@HokeOutdoors]

How many hens would you consider to be acceptable??

[@tracyelsinger1088]

Last time I checked, hens were legal too. Don't bash a fellow hunter for doing something differently than you would as long as it's legal.

[@jasonlippold8231]

TOTALLY AGREE!! It almost looks like they are over thier limit.. Other than that not bD..
