BEST Kayak HIDE I've EVER Had (Limited Out) | Solo Kayak Duck Hunting

  • On my last day in South Dakota I headed out for an afternoon of kayak duck hunting on the slough I had hunted a couple days prior. I got to the spot with a couple hours of shooting light left and after kicking hundreds of mallards and teal out off the shoreline I setup the kayak layout blind along with a few dozen decoys. Before long the teal started bombing back in and I was able to pick off a limit of them while enjoying some incredible decoying action. Hope you enjoy!

    I always removed the sling as I had some experiences with entanglement. Lots of teals you got there. Delicious birds to eat.

    Take your sling OFF unless you really need it if your standing in waist deep water or for securing the gun when you're paddling the kyak. You don't need it where you were hinting in this video. I had the sling over the barrel, missing shots a few times then finally pulled my head out and took the sling off. I'll put the sling back on when I have to go chasing a wounded bird or after finishing the hunt. When your sling makes you miss a really rare setup shot, you'll figure it out. That was a nice hunt you had.

      I appreciate the tip! I need to get a sling that detaches a little bit easier if I’m going to do that. The one I have is a little bit finicky to pop on and off so it would rather time consuming to be messing with it during the hunt. It would be Murphy’s law for something rare to come in and that sling be wrapped over the rib though

    That brushed in boat blind seems like it's been the ticket to success for you in this slough. Helps put you into the action without sticking out like a sore thumb.

    • @HokeOutdoors
      @HokeOutdoors  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Completely agreed! I’m sure I could’ve pulled off a shoreline blind setup in this spot but there shots would’ve been 30 yards instead of 15-20

Nice mixed bag on public land. Hunted a slew that butts up to a duck pond, it was very interesting to say the least! Y'all stay safe and keep shooting 🤙

    Are most of your hunts on public land? I live in Ga and public land hunting is weak. Private land is hard to obtain permission bc if it’s good.. it’s already being hunted. I’m thinking about some traveling and wanna get on out of state public land.

    @the45er Před 9 měsíci +1

    LOL Ya gotta know it's a crap shoot trying to shoot a duck on the water with a shotgun! You kill them in the air because a moving object is flying through a CLOUD of pellets, dramatically increasing the odds of pellet-to-target connection. Shooting at anything stationary with a shotgun means the "pattern" is two, not three dimensional like a cloud of pellets. Big holes in a two dimensional pattern and on top of that, most of the duck is under water! You can waste a lot of money shooting at floating ducks. Good hunt and good video. Enjoyed it. Stay safe.

    • @HokeOutdoors
      @HokeOutdoors  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Thanks, I appreciate you watching! Those teal are definitely tough to finish off on the water, gotta get lucky and send a pellet through the brain, spine, or heart which are all pretty tiny targets. With Rue breaking on that bird though I didn't have any other option unfortunately
