Yes if you are at a place with bad wind, you just need to make sure the birds aren't defensive before landing, and change accordingly or use scent eliminater
They need to fix the ducks landing on the shore, I’ve hunted ducks for 10 years and never seen a duck land on shore rather than water once, they much prefer water as it’s softer for their landing
Hahaha I know right duck hunted in New Zealand since I was young lad never seen mallards or spoon ducks land on the shore... only the paradise duck lands on shore and water, they also land without decoys no calling hence the nickname "goony bird" 🤣
I'm glad this video is up while my cotw is updating!!! Its a huge update so it is taking a while but now I know where and what to look for!!! Thanks Flinter!!
Thanks-a-million there Flinter for this video on waterfowl hunting. I knew that I was doing something wrong since I wasn't aware that water blind was even available. I had been using the portable tent for fast traveling to the spot. But, I had been using the portable land blinds set up too close to the shoreline and too close to the decoys that as soon as you hit the zipper on the blind to enter, the ducks will hear that and begin to take flight immediately which throughly will test your reaction times and reflexes especially if the particular species is quick to begin with. I'm assuming that the water blinds are available as an add-on, so I will look into acquiring it. Again, thanks for all of your valuable assistance and information on this particular subject matter. 😀 👍
My game is updating right now, it was updating so slowly, so I had to go and delete a lot of stuff, now it's so close to being finished, can't wait to play this map
@Flinter The Devs in the precursor videos mentioned setting up decoys differently to allow a hole or open area to land in. I dont know if you have experimented with this so that the ducks don't land on shore or maybe land in a viable area. I will try tonight after work for wind direction and hole setups!
@@ethans7914 none. I just ran around shooting deer, bear, moose, rock ptarmigans, literally anything I saw. I wouldn’t even try to get a good shot in unless it looked like a really good animal. Just used the modern .308 and went wild. Made 25k in a few hours. But from what I’ve done on Layton lakes with ducks yes they’re very profitable.
@@eckiefleckie4938 hey ive actually been doing that too just loading up with a bunch of 30-06 and the M1 Garand and just hosing Whitetails lmao and i have a few rounds for the .338 in case i see a good moose or bear and of course a bunch of birdshot since i only have the 3 round 10 gauge currently this map is a blast
The decoys do attract there own species, I played for days with only mallards and got goldeneye decoys and all of a sudden all that’s landing are goldeneye
FLINTER THERE IS A HUGE SECRET! At the bottom of the map there is an island with paths on it. If you go to the lookout tower that’s closest to it, there is a boat! And you can go out to the island with it.
A way to avoid dismantling decoys when collecting a trophy is to look up into the sky. You can still collect the kill but you wont take any decoys down.
Whenever I try hunting any type of bird in this game, they’re always alert upon flying overhead and rarely ever land, I hope this helps but it’s kind of the same thing I have been doing
For duck/geese hunting since the update are the birds not landing as much as they did before? I had many flocks of geese/ducks fly by me and they wouldn’t land. Sometimes they did but most of the time not. I also couldn’t spot them as they flew either …I know I had enough decoys and callers. I talked to my hubby who has duck hunt irl and he said this is very much like duck hunting is. Sometimes they land sometimes they don’t. But I wasn’t sure
Why can I not get the ducks and geese to come in. We tried a set up with both ducks and geese trying to call in what ever we happen to see fly over head and never had anything land but on the opposite side of the lake from us. It feels like we are doing everything right but nothing ever wants to land. Same for geese on the other map. Any advice is welcome 😂
I would appreciate if you show where you are on the map. I'm not familiar with the map just yet. Keep up the good job, nice pc btw! :D (Similar to mine.)
Hey, probably a stupid question but do you need a different dlc I just downloaded the game on Xbox but there’s no duck decoys in the cache. Do I need another dlc?
To me they need to slow them down while they take off because it’s hard to get more than one sometimes and while I was on Layton lakes hunting if o shoot one on the water my screen turns black
So fast traveling to tents renders in waterfowl but not larger game right? That's how it was in the past I think. I'm also wondering what changes were made to waterfowl hunting in this update. Did anything change besides content from duck hunting before?
Birds dont have problem with hunting pressure, only if you put your setup on for example drinking zone of a land animal then you have to worry. Other then that you can shoot as many as you want. When the birds stop coming i usually exit to main menu or i make second setup somewhere else so i can hop between the two. Hope it helps :)
You’re the best CoTW streamer IMO Flinter! My question though, was there an official confirmation that there is a new Great One? Water fowl is cool but let’s be honest, Great One is better
The ducks always land into the wind so its something to keep in mind
Oooh. Thanks! I didn’t know that
How does this affect the landing spot?
Yes if you are at a place with bad wind, you just need to make sure the birds aren't defensive before landing, and change accordingly or use scent eliminater

Although I think you should be able to hunt mallards in fields as we do sometimes
@@Luminance_gaming yeah but there aren’t any fields on duck maps
Faxxxx

Same, and i wish they dont have the call upside down.
The birds on this map look incredible! They really did an amazing job, and also with the new harvest screens as well.
I'm glad this video is up while my cotw is updating!!! Its a huge update so it is taking a while but now I know where and what to look for!!! Thanks Flinter!!
thats exactly what im doing its taking forever
It is taking forever
You said it all, same here. Im ready!
It took me 5 mins?
@@brandongoutdoors really? It’s taking my pc a few hours to update. And I’ve got a good pc
Hunting revontuli coast right now this will be a great help
I’m so glad they fixed waterfowl. They’re very fun to hunt, and fairly lucrative too!

Gotta update my cotw and I'm at my grandparents house and my dad is getting off work early and I'm SO excited
Definitely going to need this since I’m not used to hunting waterfowl!
Can’t wait to hear you rage when hunting them 😅 might as well record it too

I just made 25k by running around the northwest of the map and shooting everything I saw 😂 highly recommend.
Ducks ? Are they that profitable ?

Yes. Bears, moose, lynx and a few birds and deer. I like the variety just running around lakes and in the forest.
So hyped for this map! Just waiting for the update to finish installing. Great content as always Flint!
I appreciate this alot great help especially when I have no experience with waterfowl 😂
Man I really hope that they will add next himalaya with the greatest mountain experience so far bro
Great vid as always! Very entertaining
Thank you sir, much appreciated. Great guide!
Just downloaded the update! Can't wait to get started😍

Ah thank you!
Great one is a spirit black bear
I think there is an Indians Jones reference at the Meikäläisen Mökki outpost, there is a hat and rope on the hat rack to the left of the door.
And there are what looks to be bamboo wind chimes under the pavilion at Rauhala Mökki.
Nice 1 for helping get more ducks while you're hunting
For console the dismantle button is Y/xbox and Triangle/Playstation
I went mallard hunting on Layton left to eat dinner came back and the ducks were behind me walking around on land 🤯
Look at the dog at 5:15 upper right corner... 😂

How do you change the reticle on the red dot sight
In the game settings

If the go is on the new map I give it three days tops before we find the go, if it’s an old map, 7-10 days
6 shells in the gun?! That's a felony. Hunting license revoked. Large Fine. Lol.
Can u do a start up Video for green wing teal on mississippi
Do you not have to worry about hunting pressure when it comes to ducks?
how do u have the water laypout blind i have duck and goose pack but i dont have the water layout
Why can I not get the ducks and geese to come in. We tried a set up with both ducks and geese trying to call in what ever we happen to see fly over head and never had anything land but on the opposite side of the lake from us.

I'm not familiar with the map just yet.
Keep up the good job, nice pc btw! :D
(Similar to mine.)
Where do find the water layout blinds i cant find it in my inventory or store
got a trophy rating of 3.8 level 5 greylag goose with this guide
any tips for sniping with the .22 in the air?
Hey, probably a stupid question but do you need a different dlc I just downloaded the game on Xbox but there’s no duck decoys in the cache. Do I need another dlc?

good tips nice one flinter
much love bro keep up the awesome work hope youve had good luck irl lately
Thank you for the vide they help a lot
where do you get beacon deluxe duck caller?
Where can I get the hidden incognito deluse water layout blind when catching a floating duck?
where can you get such a water layot
Dose hunting pressure matter
How do I dismantle water layout blinds
They need to add arkansas flooded timber with boats and ducks
You make it easy to get loads of ducks in. I tried on Layton and zero turned up and tried the geese and again zero turned up
Hmm I need to check out Layton
What maps got population reset?
Still trying to figure out the best load out for this map there’s so many species it’s overwhelming and I’ve played every map
When it says 20 decoys for max effectiveness, is that 20 altogether or 20 males and 20 females?
What shotgun and ammo are you using?
They should add like skeet or sporting clays
Looks like I'ma go play cotw
What’s grizzly drink time?
So what’s new with this update? I understand there’s a new map but what are all the new animals? I’m so excited
my game still has over 2 hours of update. I cant wait to play it!
Hope time flies by and you can play!
Is a gold fur type brown bear rare
@Flinter The new GREAT ONE is a BLACK BEAR
holy early vid
So fast traveling to tents renders in waterfowl but not larger game right? That's how it was in the past I think.
I'm also wondering what changes were made to waterfowl hunting in this update. Did anything change besides content from duck hunting before?
i think i placed my water layout blind to far away and i can’t pick it up, any tips
Amazing guide! Kinda silly question but, what's the "rotate" button on pc?
So are all ducks fixed
HI Thanks for good guide.
do you know when you are making the next beginner series video?
duck hunting is so much easier with the e-caller
Will there be a guide for every animal like you do on other maps for all the other animals on this map?
Cant wait to get it, I have been waiting for it to come out! When will they be announcing the new great one?
Not sure what the new great one is
@@Flintergaming okay, that’s fine!
Hey flinter I was wondering are some of the species going to be on other maps as well it would make sense to maybe put one or two on a different map.
Does hunting pressure affect duck hunting in any way??
Where abouts on the map are you hunting
Three minutes after I got it I got a guaranteed diamond whitetail
Nice!
My Xbox is updating now and I know how to get the reserves on it
Hi Flinter, will using the old waterfowl blinds work too?
Yes
Are we gonna get a goose guide?
He calls it a waterfowl guide and then only shows ducks, I think people forget that geese are waterfowl
@@neonwhitea.1548 I know but this was pre map before I saw that geese land with the ducks I know what waterfowl is
When you have the skill that callers call in other species as well, do any of the duck/geese callers call in other waterfowl as wel?
I have all perks and Canada geese calls call in golden eye and widgeon
Time for the retriever update!?!?
how does geese work on hirch now?
Works fine
Would you still recommend this map to someone who doesn’t particularly like hunting birds in general?
Yes,finally map where you can see lynx.There is racoon dog , mountain hare and brown bear
are you gonna play multiplayer?
Did the ducks get fixed on layton also?
Yep
How many animals can you kill before you need to more your stuff away from all the hunting pressure?
Birds dont have problem with hunting pressure, only if you put your setup on for example drinking zone of a land animal then you have to worry. Other then that you can shoot as many as you want. When the birds stop coming i usually exit to main menu or i make second setup somewhere else so i can hop between the two. Hope it helps :)
@@artruxpl thank you fr I can't wait to start playing the new map
Is anybody else having an issue with the controller not working after installing the update and new map?
What time?
I seem to have better luck in the mornings
Am I the only one who encounter inventory bug many time where you cannot access your inventory after this update.
You’re the best CoTW streamer IMO Flinter! My question though, was there an official confirmation that there is a new Great One? Water fowl is cool but let’s be honest, Great One is better
Water fowls > unrealistic great One bs
Do the new geese
Hey flinter please check rancho i am really hoping for a mela rooster pheasant initial spawn
Hi, r u going to stream today?:)
Does it change the movement from the original mallards on Layton?
Yes, I assume. I haven’t gotten to check out Layton yet!
@@Flintergaming I sure do hope so as a real duck hunter that hurt to watch😬
