Thanks!

Thanks for tagging along.

Thanks. Got a couple of sho nuff goodens

They get tangled from time to time. Most of the time if they get tangled one of two things happened. Turned the boat too sharp and the lines run into each other. The second is catching a catfish or bass that crosses all of the lines. Thanks for watching!

Same, but I’ve been wanting a stud wigeon for years.

​@@northalabamafishwaterfowlwell since im in albania i maby will get some mallards and someday some golden eyed ducks or another native albanian species

For sure!!!

Me too… Lol

Around 4. Lol I’ve had no trouble with the knot with 3 but will go up to 5

Thanks

Blue wing teal

👍🏻 These little fish sure are tasty!

Thanks! I absolutely love chasing divers. Chasing divers is how I learned to hunt ducks.

Thank you so much. It is extremely difficult to get good content, as I’m sure you are aware for your channel. There are some ducks to get after on public land but it isn’t easy. It takes a lot of time and work to have consistent success.

Thank you for the info!!

@northalabamafishwaterfowl no problem! Those are some good looking drakes.

Yeah, a strange but good season. Crappie fishing and a little bass fishing up next.

For sure Alabama doesn’t have the numbers that other states have. I have found success in chasing divers. Seems like there are more divers than puddlers where I hunt. And also understanding because of the diver limits killing 6 every hunt isn’t happening. The hunt isn’t always about what you get, but rather enjoying the beauty of the outdoors and enjoying the company of those hunting with you. Hope your season ended on a positive note. Alabama was tough this season.

Yes, this was with the 20 gauge. There were tons of scaup around but we could only get one each.

@@northalabamafishwaterfowl yeah I heard some states imposed strict limits on scaups. Not only scaups, like blacks, pintails due to declining population. Good eating divers especially the cans.

It was a fun day hunting. Last day of the season. I know there are some differences but knew there are some experts out there that could easily tell me for sure.

I love ducks as well, conservation is helpful for waterfowl.

Food? Some think divers aren’t good table fair but I think they are good.

?

If these birds were taken for food, how is it any more cruel than paying someone else to kill an animal for your meat? Unless you're a vegan, in which case at least you're consistent.

😢😢😢

It’s used to track duck migrations. This one was banded in Pennsylvania and I harvested it in Alabama. It provides information on the migration timing and path of this duck.

If the animals been injured, caught, etc etc etc. Preservation (or whoever had interaction with the animal) will put a band on it. When you kill it, you can look up the numbers for it and see where it came from, give info on where you killed it, and this is actually how we get things like migration patterns. This is one of the many ways that human hunting has been redesigned to help the environment and preservation Most hunters keep the bands as trophies. I’ve had two myself and it’s really cool to learn about the animal

Congratulations on the two bands that you have. You are correct it is really interesting to find out about the animal you harvested.

@@northalabamafishwaterfowl wow! Thank you for the reply. That's awesome. Congrats on the banded!! Its really cool how far birds fly

Thanks!

Thanks! Much appreciated

That’s true, I do water swat a lot. I’m not a great shot so getting them in close on the water gives me the best opportunity for a clean shot without losing or wounding them.

You butthurt ? I think it takes more skill to get em in the water rather than sky busting at birds 60 yds out😂

Old machootin whatever must be a water swatter too maybe you should team up with him and you won’t be so but hurt ! 😂🤣😂🤣

Thanks! Much appreciated

@@northalabamafishwaterfowl by the way, what brand of gun?

Tristar Viper G2 20 Gauge. I got it at the beginning of teal season this year. I’ve really liked it and have had zero problems with it.

I’ve been hearing of the crazy that’s been happening at Swan Creek and don’t blame you for wanting somewhere else to go. I do not hunt Guntersville, but there are ducks to be found on Guntersville. There are also plenty of places to hunt on Wheeler that is not Swan Creek. Good luck for the rest of the season. Can’t believe it’s already almost over.

Thanks 👍

For sure😂

For food

I hunt for the joy of the sport, for food, and to help in conversation of the animal. In some areas the waterfowl can be detrimental to crops.

@@northalabamafishwaterfowl what you said😂

@@northalabamafishwaterfowl oh ok

Thanks!

It’s crazy the new things you can see when getting out there. Always something new.

As slow as it’s been, it’s tough to keep getting out there.

If you cook them right they are not too bad. They aren’t a teal but if prepared right they’ll do.

That’s awesome. All of my wood duck holes are dry. I haven’t been able to get any woodies this season. I’ve also never shot a band. Congratulations.

They have saved the season so far for me, nothing much else to speak of in my area.

It’s a TriStar Viper G2. This is the first year I’ve hunted with it.

I’ll try to do better with my “woos” and “get ups”. Lol.

Thanks!

👊

They are a beautiful bird.
