Solo MALLARD Limit Using TWO DECOYS! | Duck Hunting 2021

- Matt is back out with his 28 gauge to do some more duck and goose hunting. He has his sights set specifically on mallards and they showed up! It took a little while but eventually swarms of mallards were dumping into the marsh. The two decoy mallard spread did the trick!

Great ethics and sportsmanship!!! Glad to see young men of your character in the sport!!!
Appreciate that!
That sunrise was a Christmas card! Love the quiet of the morning. You can hear every sound. Thanks for sharing!
It was a beautiful morning!
Dude loving the solo hunts this year!
Thanks!
That misfire on the goose was so heartbreaking. I think we've all had that exact thing happen before. Also that looks like a real nice place to hunt!
Tell me about it haha. It's such a sweet spot
Ive done really well before with zero decoys in heavier cover in mn. I use a modified jerk rig. I use a 3ft fiberglass rod with a 6"x6" piece of 1/4" plywood attached to the end with an eye bolt in it. Stick it in the mud so the top with the wood is half in the water, then i run a baitcast reel with 50lb braid on it. Open the spooln walk back to my hide, and give it a few pulls as birds are working. Seems like if they see movement on the water, but cant see the birds right away, and hear callingvthey come back a few times for a better look. Its real lightweight and easy to deploy. Best thing is packing out carrying only my birds and my "jerk rig" that weighs about a pound.
@@eduffy4937 that's a great idea!
@@HighPrairieSportsmen the reel is a nicer handle than any jerk rig I've seen in stores. Fits the palm of your hand and can adjust to any length FAST. can also make and sting 1-4 of these units together on one line as well.
This is so amazing and important for me because I'll be hunting ducks for the first time ever soon, and ill be alone. No one I know hunts🤷. And obviously I've never put out decoys in my life. So thank you, this gives me confidence
Good luck!
@@HighPrairieSportsmen appreciate it. I'm in west Florida sooo not really sure how thisll go lol. I'm from Michigan but been down here 14 years. It's just waaay different down here but I'm really excited. Thanks man
I have ran just two decoys quite a bit on high pressure ducks and have had great success
Small spreads seem to work great on the high pressure birds
Man, that first drake that cupped up and came in, talk about in your face! Videos have been insane lately, keep up the good hunts Matt!
Thanks! He made the hunt honestly
I have watched literally hundreds of duck hunting CZcams videos and this one is *by far* my favorite! Subscribed and saved!
Appreciate it!
Perfect day!!! Nice slow pace picking decoying singles for solo limit!!
Yessir
Nice challenge video
Whoa now, I clearly stated it wasn't a challenge 😂
Yeah that was cool to watch them dump in like that . Enjoyed it Matt
Thanks Chuck!
Great shoot; love the (really) small “spread” (if 2 decoys a spread makes). 👍
Thanks!
Гарний свiтанок, яскраве небо, не полювання а насолода, гарних пострилiв.
Thanks!
Oh my Mallards! Talk about a honey hole. Nice job trying with 2 decoys. Shows you don't need a ton every time.
Thanks man!
Man…. Best filming duck hunts on CZcams! I really enjoy your how you wait for the perfect time to shoot. It shows that the patience that it takes. It’s hard not to shoot on those flyover shots but if you are doing it right then they will give you the shot you want! Thanks again
Appreciate that!
Way to put the green in the bag!
Yessir!
I’m a big 2 or 3 decoy fan. It’s worked well for me over the years.
It'll do the trick in the right spots
Fantastic hunt. I love solo hunts you can do things how you want and there is only one person to please.
Thanks! Me too. Lot easier to hide as well
Epic hunt Matt! Nothing better then an all green limit!
Thanks! Hard to beat green
Nice hunt man! Love running real small spreads like that!
Thanks man!
Less is more !
5:08 -5:11< most amazing image!! Please tell me that wasn't altered ! Incredible!!
cheers!
Thanks! I did a little color correction but not much.
love it, reminds me of myself , lots of solo hunts more and more.
Thanks!
For calm water, get a pulsator decoy. We have 2. Really works well.
Definitely need one or two of them
Bruh 😂
Love it! Awesome as usual! A mallard an hour would work for me!🤣 great job!!
Thanks Bob! Not going to complain about that
Great hunt Matt. Can't beat a limit like that.
Thanks! No sir!
Good job Matt. That looks like a fun spot.
Thanks Sean!
Nice hunt man! Absolutely beautiful spot!
Thanks!
Awesome video as usual. You should do 3 decoys on a jerk chord.
Thanks! Definitely will try that if I go back
Looks like fun.... beautiful sunrise
It was a blast
Beautiful hunt in a t-shirt no less! On a spread that small I would have had the hen on a string to provide a little motion, but you got it done without it! Goose was tragic. Because of where I hunt and the fact that I do not target them I get a goose every other year (if that) so I would have been a bit more frustrated than you! lol. Look forward to the next one.
Yep, definitely needed more motion out there. Thanks!
Good hunt.
Thanks!
Another awsome solo hunt ! You pass up more shots that most hunters would take. That goose o man ! I believe you would of smoked him with the 28 gauge ! It sounds like hunters are getting closer to your spot every time you hunt there. Great sportsmanship Matt another awsome hunt.
Thanks Dale! He got lucky haha
Awesome
Thanks!
Another successful solo. Sometimes you don’t need big spread. I take 4 to 6. Still get their attention. The goose...tsk, tsk, you would have got him. It happens. Lol.
Thanks Cooper! Exactly, can't get them all haha
Another awesome hunt
Thanks!
What a spot all Green baby
Love the green
9:25 that was a bummer!! That was a cool vid though!!!
It happens. Thanks!
Definitely an example of less is more! Glad to see it!
Thanks!
Love your videos...I've found that changing it up like that late season works well as they are used to large groups getting them shot at
Appreciate it!
Man I busted out laughing when you called at that swan! Awesome video matt!
Thanks man!
Awesome hunt man! Some pretty mallards!
Thanks!
One mallard an hour lol 😂
“Americans will use literally anything *but* the metric system.”
You're dang right!
This is awesome 👌 Great vids!
Thank you!
Sometimes I wonder if a 2-4 decoy spread for those late season ducks would be more inviting? They see 1-3 dozen decoy spreads all season so a smaller spread may make them feel comfortable 🤷🏼♂️
Definitely could be. I think three decoys on a heated slough would do the trick.
Need a jerk string for one of the decoys, motion,... It's a hassle but once set up it give it gentle jerks it make rings around your decoys and they come like mice to cheese.
Yep, I'll have one for sure next time
Wow what a super hunt!!! Love to hear that excitement in your voice!!!
Thanks buddy!
I really like how you and Grey Beard take decoying shots. I like to do the same 👍
Thanks! Hard to beat them cupped up
Hey Matt,
What an awesome hunt. That sky was promising a good hunt before your first shot. Did you have some sort of marsh stool or something to sit on.. ? I'd not be able to stand that long... good work... Blessings
Thanks Kraig! Yep, I had a little marsh stool
I imagine you can move two decoys into about 1 million configurations. 😉 Great video!
You're definitely right! Thanks!
Great video! That was fun to watch!
Thanks!
I was so excited for that goose...the dreaded click!! NO!!
Haha he got lucky
@@HighPrairieSportsmen You ain’t kiddin
Nice hunt man.
Thanks!
Another excellent video matt I've got a river I'm going to decoy ducks not very wide so I'm thinking of a mini spread maybe 6 decoys and rely on my call to get them in tight do you think it could work ? . Your speed of 2 worked well 👏
Thanks! Yeah, small spreads can be very effective. Make sure your hide is great.
Harika bir av olmuş
Thanks!
Great videos man, just subscribed. Where you located? I'm in West Michigan, too warm this year, but got my first ducks in land St Clair this year! Looking forward to more content.
Thanks! Nebraska
HELL YEA!!! Thats why we go right there!!! U cant beat that with a STICK!!! LOVE those type of solo hunts!! Hope to find me a few hunts like that this season!!! U shootin a modified choke with boss in ur 28?
Yessir! Yep, usually mod.
Why not add what shot size, load, and steel or bismuth. Wouldn't hurt to add choke size and average distance for shots. This would set you apart from other CZcams posters
Thx for consideration
Boss 2 3/4" 5s, mod choke
When I hunted in the timber we never used decoys. Still killed lots of mallards.
Nice!
What a day great video and footage 👍 congrats
Thanks Bob!
Really enjoy your solo hunts
Thanks!
Need ur friends at rogers to give u one of the new pulsators. Would have been lights out with some ripples.
I need to get me one of those
Awesome, well done.
Thanks!
2 dekes and a mouth call
All you need somedays
Another great hunt Matt. The video of that first mallard drake that you shot was fantastic. Have you ever taken a still photo from your videos? The first mallard coming in with the cloudy blue sky sunrise would make an excellent enlargement print. You could probably market it and sell some copies. Just a thought. Thanks for posting the video.
Thanks! I actually took a still of that footage and posted it on my social medias. Turned out great!
@@HighPrairieSportsmen Awesome. It was studio print worthy.
CLICK.. ...
I think ive watched that vid 6 times or more
hahahaha, been there,
Haha yep. Hate when that happens
Nice hunt!
Thanks!
glade you like your gun. ha
Thanks
WTH happened to your gun on the goose. Shure think a jerk cord on one of the dekes would help. The sunrise shots were incomparable!!
Just didn't rack a shell for some reason. Yeah, I'll definitely use a jerk string or Motion Ducks if I head back there again
Where you're hunting at, is it harder bottom or pretty mucky? I know up here in NoDak a place like that is a mucky mess? Thanks, Daniel
It varies. Some spots there are good. You'll sink into muck in others.
great vids
Thanks!
What camera are you using on your head
GoPro Hero 8
😞 I was happy and smiling for that goose to be smoked then I heard “click” but when you doing good in mallards 🦆 I wouldn’t be mad either 👍🏽👍🏽 but still damn that goose was cupping 😩🤯😵💫💀☠️ lol
I should've had him dang it. Oh well haha.
GREAT WORK!! Two words,,,,, Jerk string.
Thanks! Definitely needed one
I like 6 for a small spread
That's a good number
15:45 you wanted to get your limit so bad that you busted all those birds out only to miss
Didn't want to compete against them after seeing several more flocks land there which I explained later on in the video.
1st
😎
Why were you using for mouth to call???
They'd show up so quick and I didn't want to move to grab my calls
@@HighPrairieSportsmen yup it happens..I do it too lol sounds weird sometimes but they respond to it sometimes too
He does it all the time 🤣
@@MattTZew 60 percent of the time, it works every time
@@HighPrairieSportsmen It's quite pungent.
Why you calling with your mouth😂
Don't always have time to grab the calls.
What’s the shot cam ur using called ?
Shotkam
Howcome the gun didn't fire when the goose came in?
Didn't feed a shell in after the last mallard
HPS>DGC
My man 😂
Where you from? Bro
Nebraska
Has signature call. Mouth calls anyway.
😂 don't have time to grab it when they're coming in
@@HighPrairieSportsmen I'm one to talk. Half the time I don't even know where my calls are...
First
👍🏻
(i think this was a challenge)
I specifically said it wasn't though
@@HighPrairieSportsmen lol im just wondering why its even necessary to mention that
@@kylefrazier9894 just poking some fun at the whole challenge trend
Not sure what gun you're shooting but I'd throw it away. One misfire stuff happens...2 misfires is a problem
It's getting fixed
How the heck can you tell what species or sex they are while they're flying 29 mph!!!! That's something I've really gotta learn. I guess with time in the field it'll come to me
Just years of experience
Click HAHAHA oh man thats the worst
Tell me about it haha
Have you ever seen the game warden jump a duck hunter for shooting 30 seconds before time?? We don’t know what time it is where you are.. kill them!
Better safe than sorry I always say.
Great hunt but it really makes me mad that to try to make noises with your mouth instead of using a call like it sounds nothing like a quack and it’s cringy just use your call
I do it when I don't have time to grab my call. And it works...
If youd use a duck call youd been done a lot sooner
I do. Don't want to move to grab it when they're coming in
Stop mouth calling
No, I don't think I will
If you are going to post waterfowl videos, you should really have a functioning firearm.
You're right, might've limited out with one...
Has nothing to do with limiting out, it's irresponsible to hunt with a gun that doesn't work, especially a small bore, your gun has jammed in SEVERAL of your videos, what if you had one shot to kill a cripple before it gets away? You obviously don't have a dog.
@@blackdogsonly6292 the gun works fine after I got the jamming issue fixed. The occasional misfeed happens in any semi auto
