I've been watching you channel since the days when Dan was a regular. What appealed to me and set your channel apart was how you showed the slow hunts and the missed shots. It made your content much more relatable to me as an average 15-20 day a year duck hunter. Don't be reluctant to post the hunts where you struggle, even if they don't drive traffic. They have some value to those of us who do this every season on public land.

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts Jeff. I understand what you are saying 100%. It's something i'm struggling with. I do plan to try and get back to more of those types of videos.

[@dantheoutdoorman9416]

I too appreciate those videos but also I understand how difficult it is to edit and upload content. it's not easy to take the time to upload content you know isn't gonna be successful. Do what's right for you and your family/ crew and you can't go wrong. Thanks for the content fdh!

[@FirePirate099]

I absolutely agree with Jeff. I’ve been watching you since your first season and I really loved how you struggled some years. It absolutely makes you much more relatable than some of these other channels that only show hunts where they smash limits. You inspired me as an east coast hunter to start my own KZbin hunting channel

[@onlysanepersonleft]

A couple of magic days no doubt! I'm a big fan. Letting the ducks finish. 👍

[@michaeldove3377]

Me and a few of my army buds just got into duck hunting out here in SC. We been hitting DNR land and just found out the swamp in my back yard is a gold mine ! Getting into waterfowl hunting is the best thing I’ve done .

[@billmartin5709]

Amen!! The camaraderie the SH** TALKING the back slapping the memories....It is what duck hunting is all about!! Seeing sunrises with your best friends. Talking past hunts, reliving the hunts with folks that have passed on. Bringing new folks into the sport. You can smell like a goats behind or just out of the shower and the ducks don't care. Your buddies might...lol Coffee always smells better in a duck blind. Some of the best days of my life have been in a duck blind along with my Lab Max and my buddies Tom, Mike P and Mike G, Jerry and Hunter. Max passed on 20 years ago but I just picked up a Chesapeake Bay Retriever puppy and we named him Rip. I am 57 years old and I may have another dog in me. But I believe Rip may be my last. Which I am fine with. GOD Bless all my fellow duck hunters.

[@chucksmith5002]

Elliot that was a great hunt. You get some you miss some I think the most of us that watch yours and others channel is that we are not the everyday Duck Hunter only the Weekend Warrior Hunters thanks for showing the good with the bad. Enjoyed it as always.

[@jims8221]

Memories of a lifetime! I hope your season picks up with more great hunts.

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Thank you Jim!

[@carlvinson8606]

I remember these hunts and how unusual they were. Even replayed videos are enjoyable to FDH addicts.

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Thanks Carl. They live on in my mind

[@Dieseloutdoors]

Those were sick hunts. Looked so fun. Merry Christmas boys. Be safe

[@jordancuvelier7739]

That was a nice black duck mallard hybrid

[@dantheoutdoorman9416]

Take good care of it like in the frying pan lol! That's a man after my own heart

[@MRSadventure90]

awesome man...great shots

[@crooked_arrow_farms]

Another great hunt with awesome content! The hide looked awesome

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Thank you Stormy! Was an awesome day

[@ChasingGreen]

Ready for a day like this right about now

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Those days don’t come often enough

[@kraigkaatz6858]

Wonderful video... good work Elliott

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Thank you very much!

[@khange4390]

Always love your flying shots.

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Many thanks!

[@markmorgan3091]

Y'all had the perfect hide, quick question, what do you use for a base layer, I've got silk, but what beyond that do u use???

[@woodduck635]

Great memories!!!

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Absolutely

[@ChadYourDad]

This looks just like Kirwin, but Kirwin is way to dry for it to be. That part of Kansas is the most dry I’ve ever seen in my years of Kansas hunting. We absolutely CRUSHED them on the Arkansas River tho

[@-B_G-]

Me stuck in Middle GA praying to see something other than GD wood ducks coming in 15 mins before shooting light in pitch black dark🙏 😢 😡 Elliot: 🦆 🦆 🦆 🦆 🦆 😊

[@FirePirate099]

I’ve been there brother. GA can be some tough duck hunting

[@willkitchens1375]

I’m here in central GA as well.. go hit up Oconee River, BeaverDamn WMA, or Cedar Creek. If you haven’t already that is. It’s hard getting on em’ but definitely worth every second of it once you do.

[@iaroslavpaseka6569]

Полювання супер, ніби сам побував на полюванні. Дуже шкода що в нас в цьому році полювання заборонене , в звязку з війною

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

So sorry to hear that. What country are you in?

[@lukejohnson1748]

It looked to me like a Brewers Duck. A mallard and gadwall hybrid.

[@rickabreu246]

Otima caçada, cara. Ganhaou mais um inscrito Eu crio esta espécie de marreco aqui no nordeste do Brasil. Aqui são muitos, mas não há selvagem , todos domesticos. Saudações do Maranhão Brasil 🇧🇷

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Do you have other species of wild ducks there?

[@rickabreu246]

​​@@FreelanceDuckHuntingsim, temos o pato negro e asa branca, nativo da Amazônia, aqui na região. Temos gansos, mas os gansos não são nativos daqui.

[@rickabreu246]

​​@@FreelanceDuckHuntingTenta por legenda em seus vídeos. Eu fico igual bosta em cima d'água, sem saber pra onde ir 😂😂😂😂

[@kingbee48185]

Where was this filmed?

[@joseresendeoficial]

Congrats for the hunting for me there are two rules that we must respect. 1 dont shoot birds on the water, 2 treat the dead birds with respect. We are not killers we are HUNTERS!!

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Yes, and as hunters we want to take the most ethical shot that will produce the highest odds for a clean kill. Unfortunately sometimes that means shooting them on the water.

[@stimosen]

Hello... How many are you allowed to shoot per day..?

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

6

[@leviosha1303]

that one might be a black duck/ mallard hydrid but hard to tell from the video

[@TheSchaetzka]

Sure did look like it

[@jamaljalal9717]

👍

[@mattwalczak5505]

Elliot please teach Jordan how to call and shoot

[@johnwilliamson4231]

What camera are you using on your Gun

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Shotkam

[@johnwilliamson4231]

Love the video!

[@Hiiiiiiiii1014]

Why the new podcast? Are you no longer going to be a part of the DuckGun Podcast?

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Your are correct. I'm not longer on the Duck Gun Podcast.

[@Hiiiiiiiii1014]

@@FreelanceDuckHunting well that’s interesting to hear. Will your Podcast be available on Apple or Spotify, or only Patreon?

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

@@Hiiiiiiiii1014 some will be on patreon but a lot will be on Apple, Spotify etc. Here’s episode one that’s on patreon The North American Waterfowler Ep #1 The Real Reason We Waterfowl Hunt kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4K6gZqkj55oatk

[@thordiboy2753]

You think four ducks is good for a thirteen year old?

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Sure! We’ll done

[@cohnerreeves673]

Where is this

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Eastern Arkansas :)

[@cohnerreeves673]

@@FreelanceDuckHunting what town

[@TaterSaladz]

Where's the dogs? Great hunts tho!

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Some temps are just too cold

[@TaterSaladz]

@@FreelanceDuckHunting I get it. Just didn't look cold with that open water! but I understand with wild like that.

[@bell2224]

You need a dog, and most of those needed a second or third shot !

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

This video was inbetween dogs. My current dog is a female black from FlatLander Kennels

[@rogerdanella]

Why do you guys keep playing Re runs? I miss your old format from two years ago

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

I touched on it in the video. But it's been a rough season and content is hard to come by. Also, most of the viewers who will watch this video have not seen it before. I'd love to hear what specifically you liked from two years ago. I'm always looking how to improve my videos.

[@LateeVR]

You monster

[@Beatles879120]

Way Too Much Talking

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

ssshhh

[@pattyannfuller]

Who is the moron shooting live ducks on the water...?? I can see shooting wounded birds, but to kill on the water.... VERY unsporting. Being a duck hunter for 60 years. This was disappointing to see. I have enjoyed your videos up to this point.

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

So you feel making sure it’s “sporting” is more important than making sure you get a clean kill? To me making sure I don’t wound and lose birds is 10000 times more important than making sure I achieve some fantasy idea of “sporting” I also find it odd that you would call me a moron just because I don’t hunt exactly the way you do.

[@user-mq4ww2db5o]

Every animal must live,like you,like a God created us.Do you thing that you with your hobby are more than your victim?Stop killing.You dont need do this to survive.

[@FreelanceDuckHunting]

Unless youre a Vegan...sssshhhh

[@KevinNordstrom]

this is how men feed their families. Where do you think you get your food from the store even? lmao

[@johnwilliamson4231]

God said we did have domain over all animals and they were provided by him for us to have food not just when we needed to survive.

[@ericriley7380]

Rise peter; kill and eat. It’ll be ok lol.
