My 10 year old boy took 2 Pheasant with his little Mossberg 410 pump super mini bantam. 2 shots 2 birds. Proud Daddy. Great video! Taking him duck hunting this year

[@mvec646]

Love 410 videos, please keep them coming. Also do more solo hunts , always nice just to see one guy's hooting.

[@cadeandrews9086]

anything will kill ducks at 10 yards. try the 410 in a common hunting situation where the ducks aren’t landing at your feet. i’m just jealous though this is awesome😂

[@ColeTownsendThe]

True! But Did you even see the honkers at the end?? They were like 25 yards!

[@fishdeath82]

Keep bringing them in to 10 yards! @@ColeTownsendThe

[@tylerfuller7174]

I guess to some that never had birds at 25 yards that would considered at your feet! 🤷‍♂️😎

[@MrMajic-wv8cn]

10 yards is how I like em and common for me lol but yeah you’re not poking a 60 yard pass shot

[@eduffy4937]

10yards is common if you decoy well, call well, and play your part. If you're patient most can kill birds at 10yards.

[@Diffidentone]

.410 is a great gun. So nice to see an area where the birds still work to the tip of your nose. Around here those ducks would have been shot at 15 or 20 times by the time they got across the field and when they were 80 or 100 yards high to boot. I used to love taking 10 yard or less shots with a special custom reload I used to do. 12 gauge 5/8 oz loads using .144 BB's from a BB gun with trap shooting wads for a fast spread.

[@RuggedSportsmen]

Those BB gun pellets are going to destroy your barrel man. You need a steel wad to shoot those.

[@lukea2806]

Sick video dude. Two triples on ducks and a double on honkers with a 410 in the same hunt is crazy

[@ColeTownsendThe]

Thank you! It was a fun one!

[@aaronsnatic2446]

Awesome hunt....I started laughing as you said I'm going to get 2 and I got my limit LOL!!!! The band was just icing on the cake!

[@ColeTownsendThe]

Hahaha I’m glad I didn’t miss when I said that😂

[@sethwaggoner1168]

you shot quite a few hen mallards. love the vid whats the limit up there? down here in colorado its 2 hen mallards.

[@mattwiederholt7258]

Insane solo hunt you won’t forget!

[@ColeTownsendThe]

No doubt!

[@skipmiller8309]

A 410 is a great gun with no issues if you are fortunate enough to allow the birds to work close, they work great. Just a LOT of hunting pressure these days. Congrats to anyone who is in a place that they can work with little to no pressure.

[@ColeTownsendThe]

This is true! Thanks for watching

[@JeffArnell-k5q]

Awesome shooting and nothing better than seeing the birds come into the decoys!

Great video!! My son and I who is 10 smaller frame deer hunt with his 350 legend and bird hunt with his single shot .410 I never thought to take him duck hunting with a .410 so looking at this now a semi .410. My question to you is there a certain choke you use? Again thanks for the video

Awesome thats crazy especially with 410

What a Way to Start off!

[@Cole_Bradshaw]

I’m new to duck hunting. What does the band mean?

[@theflerffyburr7919]

The bands are placed on birds to keep track of migration and population. You report the bands to your local conservatory agency (usually Fish and Wildlife)

[@mmmsameer]

@@theflerffyburr7919 and why is he so happy he got a banded bird ?

[@Cole_Bradshaw]

@@theflerffyburr7919 ok thanks

[@theflerffyburr7919]

@@mmmsameer Oh you get prizes for gathering them, so you get a nice check in the mail for the takedown, a certificate telling the birds story, you help the environment by providing valuable data to conservation services, and you get to keep the band and put it on your call lanyard!

[@mmmsameer]

@@theflerffyburr7919 thank you sir

[@Claytonhaker]

My little brother shoots that same gun but wen we shoot lighter loads it has trouble scaling but with heavy loads I have had now problems. But it did help cleaning the gun

[@davidgough3599]

I have a 28 guage on the way. Can't wait to put it to work. We work hard to take shots 25 yards and in. Going to be a great season.

Thats awesome nothing like a .410! Congrats on band!!

You already know! Thanks man

[@kolbybroussard5505]

Do you think putting some of my snow socks during duck season would help or hurt the spread I see you have ducks landing in your geese decoys

[@luislicea3604]

amazing, great shot on the honkers even with that misfeed

[@OTHG6v]

Velocity at the muzzle is what propels 50 bbs or 375 bbs. The gauge doesn’t matter, you just have to be better than average.

[@402garage4]

Bands baby!!! Great hunt bro!

[@ColeTownsendThe]

Thanks brotha!

[@richdonnelly7974]

Awesome love the .410 action 😊

[@FinsandFur-y7c]

Sir, I have a tristar semi-auto 20 gauge and an over under 28 gauge but I have been thinking about getting Tristar .410, but after watching that video of yours it's a no-brainer I'm heading out tomorrow going to get me a TriStar 410. I have a single shot .410, but it could get a little tough hunting pheasant or ducks with a single shot. Thanks

[@TristanAllen.]

Nice hunt bro, looking forward to this season down here in Colorado!

[@ColeTownsendThe]

Thanks and Good luck this season!!!

[@nejatuner1894]

[@bjbuckler7784]

great video as always. my son is 9 and will not go to a 20 gauge only uses a .410 glad to see 6 shot does it because Tss got expensive last year!! hope I can find the shells you used.

[@ColeTownsendThe]

TSS is pricey! I would recommend 3” 5 shot of whatever you can get your hands on!

[@manchapkarm3626]

Now i liked that well done

[@r_hunter10]

Hell yeah bro, solo hunts are thee best

[@Navynho1]

Thats AWESOOOOOME!!!

[@Johnson_Outdoor_Adventures]

I know nothing about duck hunting but what does having a band mean

[@owenbutler1438]

Scientist catch ducks and put a metal band on the duck or gooses leg it does not harm them. When a hunter shoots the duck they report the number on the band and they use the data to show where the bird came from age weight and other things. It is pretty rare and a very exciting thing to do.

[@abehamm3307]

Dude that is insane right on 👍🏽 time to get my daughters a 410

[@ColeTownsendThe]

You should! You’ll want to shoot it too! Lol

[@bonestoneoutdooraction2455]

Bad ass bro, I have that same .410 in pump and I smash turkey with it, so far as far out as 35 yards.

[@christianwoley1211]

Awesome hunt man! Love seeing people actually get ducks IN THEIR FACE!

[@Outdoorsboys1]

I don’t know if it’s the same there or not but you can’t kill more that 4 mallards a day and no more than two can be hens

[@BeauBrownsberger]

Awesome videos

[@jakeyates2455]

Great video! That MOJO doesn't scare the geese away?

[@ColeTownsendThe]

It does! Usually only when they are on though. Make sure to get one with a remote to turn on and off.

[@blakekelley899]

Idk about Canada but in Oklahoma you can’t hunt geese with 6shot if I’m not mistaken, could be wrong but I believe 4 shot is the smallest shot you can use for canadas

[@ColeTownsendThe]

Yes, that’s wrong. Lead is the only thing you can’t shoot at game birds in canada

[@ericweber7707]

Awesome hunt excellent shooting Cole 💥💥💥🔫

[@ColeTownsendThe]

Thanks Eric!

[@tobaccovalleyoutdoors]

Sounds like you have cycling issues with the tristar as well? My wife shoots a 20g youth by them and although she loves the fit it just will not run for crap. She easily has 200+ rounds and I’ve cleaned it numerous times and even sent it back to them last year.

[@ColeTownsendThe]

It does sometimes. It has to have a lot of oil to run properly I’ve found.

[@tobaccovalleyoutdoors]

@@ColeTownsendThe I’ve read a few comments online about running them on the wetter side. Hoping to get out for some clays to warm up before our season here in Connecticut.

I have the tristar .410 and if your having trouble with it cycling contact tri star the .410s currently have a recall for the ejection pin sent mine out and they took care of it rather fast actually.

I know they are brown mainly but when you hunt a lot its easier to try to identify...

[@christourtillott9574]

At least they aren't pintail hens that Canada regs let people wreck on

Yeah I could have but I was just trying to get out of the field as fast as I could.

[@ColeTownsendThe]

I’ve been wanting to get a 28g for awhile. You like them?

[@FactoryFowl]

@@ColeTownsendThe I really do. I got a sbe3 28 and an ethos cordoba best 28. I’d recommend the ethos in my opinion it points shoulders and swings better. I shoot bismuth loads with the factory full and it stones ducks and geese in the decoys. I have a buddy who shoots a tri star just like yours in a 28 and he hasn’t had one issue with his and it’s half the price of a benelli

Yet another awesome video, on the kick topic. I feel most 20 gauge have less kick than a .410. My five year olds .410 Remington is loud as all get out and kicks pretty good. Think I may pick up another 20 gauge to make sure he doesn’t get gun shy with that 410 beating on his shoulder.
