Matt heads out on an afternoon hunt not sure what to expect. He brings along his new 28 gauge and is able to connect with some divers. Another good day of duck hunting late season.

Best duck hunting content on KZhead, appreciate your love for the sport!
Appreciate that!
I would have to agree with that👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
💯 the best. Awesome buddy!!💪🏻
This was a fun hunt to watch! Love your late season river hunts the most!! Seems like the 28 gauge is working great!
Thanks! It's working great!
Your video is top of the chart this month of January. Beautiful winter drakes, Matt. The swans were amazing.
Thanks Cooper! Love seeing those swans
Great hide you had there. I love seeing the swans, tons of em over on the Missouri this year. Never been quite that close though!
Thanks! They're always cool to see
Nice hunting, hard for me to get over you saying scaup. We always have just said blue bills. That is all i knew they were called for years. Nice hunt.
Thanks!
Thanks man! … I look forward to all your videos … great job this season!
Thanks!
Awesome redhead and the bluebill (scaup) isn't too bad either. I have enjoyed diver hunting on the MS River over the years. It has been a while but still get to see a bunch of divers at Wm Powers Consevation Area.. tons of fun... Blessings Matt and keep these videos coming..
Thanks Kraig! Can do
I appreciate your hunting and the variety of species that you hunt for. Excellent!
Thanks!
I LUV shoot'n divers!!! Always an action packed hunt! Congrats!!!!👍🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Myron!
@@HighPrairieSportsmen 😉👍
Hey one of my favorite old spots of yours, you needed your bearded buddy on this one.
Thanks! Yep, unfortunately he moved away
Great hunting, sir! With the field of you! I can't wait to open a goose and duck hunt here, too! However, from geese we can shoot whitefish and gumennik. The decoys will soon be hatched.
Thanks!
Matt that was a good Hunt nice Red Head. Enjoyed it
Thanks Chuck!
We call em broadbill here..scaup just sounds funny when said a bunch of times lol..anyways nice hunt and that place looks awesome to hunt..that new gun is sweet too
Haha thanks! Didn't even realize how much I said it
Yep it's a greater. The greater scaulp has the white that goes just about the length on the back of the wing , the lesser has just a small section and the greater has a lot wider bill and like you said the color on the head.
That's good to know. I can only really tell with the head color.
Seems like everyone and they're brother wants to bag the ol green head mallard I guess it's a bragging thing, but for me shooting those fast flying divers, they're just as exciting and rewarding to me, I remember slow days when I was very thankful to see some divers working the decoys I'll take divers all day long, great video sir!
Thanks!
Swan sighting - cool! Only seen one pair one time when hunting near Schuyler.
They're so cool
Awesome! I'm a pass shooter and, sadly, the redheads I shoot in November aren't near as beautiful as the one you got. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! He was a stud for sure
@@HighPrairieSportsmen hoping to get my first bull redhead tomorrow. So stoked
@@jletsfsu good luck!
Great video Matt.
Thanks!
Great hunt mat. RedHead was a beaut!
Thanks buddy!
drinking game with the word "scaup"
Rip your liver 😂
Going to comment before I even watch knowing it's going to be a banger! LETS GO
😎
I’m loving that 28 gauge
Me too!
@@HighPrairieSportsmen Czech it out.?
Great vid! Season is over in Germany since Jan 15th unfortunately....
Thanks! We're almost done here too
Divers are king lol good vid!
Was hoping for a king can too haha. Thanks!
Hey Matt was wondering if you had to get a different magazine cap to put sling on the benelli. Thanks!
Nope, the one it came with works
Great vid!! Who won the bet between you and Jordan? And when is that video going up!! Keep them coming 👍🏽
Thanks! Sadly, I have to get my chest waxed. Probably will be next year during the collab.
Love your content man. I'm also a solo hunter and there is nothing like it. Would love to have as much public land at hand as you do. Would love to hunt with you sometime if you are ever looking for company.
Thanks! Solo hunts are always a fun time
Love when u hunt that place such a beautiful spot !! Great shooting and beautiful birds
Thanks!
Nice video and you showed a lot of respect for wildfowl, i would like to know you’re reasons for downsizing to 28 gauge ,hr in Ireland because of limited interest in that gauge cartridges can be hard to find and times more expensive than the traditional 12gauge ! Good luck
Thanks! I always wanted a 28 and it fits my hunting style perfectly. I order bismuth for it so they're not terribly hard to find.
Keep up the good content
Will do!
This is my favourite hunting channel
Appreciate it!
Scaup are a special treasure. We call them bluebills in MD. I love talking with the old timers about hunting on the Potomac river in the 60s. We had bluebills cans and redheads by the thousands. Sad to see how it is these days. Me and my buddies get excited when a handful of ducks show up and manage to scratch out a few. Nice hunt!
I've heard stories about how good it was back then. Shame what happened to it nowadays.
Nice one!
Thanks!
If the starlings were in my decoys like that🤣🤣
😂
Tough hunt. I like your hide.
Thanks
Red head duck cool
Oh yeah
great hunt
Thanks!
Excellent Video
Thanks!
Beautiful redhead, i want to get one mounted
Thanks Scott!
Don't believe I've ever heard them be called scaup out loud lol
Haha you can tell I don't shoot a lot of them
Could you do more of these diver hunts at this place your at
Hopefully in the future. Running out of duck season this year unfortunately
You shoot birds on the water in the USA? It's not allowed over here in New Zealand. Nice video!
Thanks! It's legal here but some don't like it. Personally, I only do it in cases like this where there's specific limits on birds and a bunch around or when they would get up out of range.
Good luck finding 28 gauge ammo
I pick up lead at Walmart and bismuth from Boss
I think Boss should be sponsoring you by now! How are you liking the Ethos? Are you having anymore failures with the Boss shells?
I'd like that haha. I love it! No issues at all, which I think has helped my shooting.
@@HighPrairieSportsmen Benellis are just different. I'm sure fit and finish of most high end shotguns are that way. Benellis just fit me exceptionally well. Hopefully you can get some more good hunts in before season is over. Numbers are good down here with a little more season left, gotta kill some more pheasants before the end as well.
@@kevintimson6591 same here. Planning on a pheasant hunt or two in the next few days hopefully
Cool hunter
👍🏻
Super👍👍👍👍🥇🥇
Thanks!
С Полем вас,хорошая охота!!! Утка нырковая !!!! Класс.
Thanks!
Should have into thickest patch of starlings, my record is nine in one shot.
👍🏻
Are 2 3/4'' 28 gauge just as killy as the 3''? Close enough?
Haven't tried 3" but I've had no issues using the 2 3/4"
@@HighPrairieSportsmen awesome! Mine won’t chamber 3” so I though I was screwed. You’re proof 2 3/4 hammers them. Thanks!
Find it hard enough locating decent 12g shells can't imagine 28g can be bought at walmart.
I use Boss but can pick up dove loads at Walmart anytime. Steel is little harder to find
@@HighPrairieSportsmen dove loads in 28g? Can't recall every seeing 28g at a walmart
@@xziang yep. Found them in Walmarts across Nebraska
Very surprised the limit on blue bills for y’all is 1. That’s crazy
Yep, used to be three. Changed a few years ago
@@HighPrairieSportsmen here we can fill our whole limit with em if we want. Of course they are a pretty popular species to hunt out on the bay along with redheads and Cans but those we can only shoot 1 each
@@davidfreeman3065 dang, that's crazy!
Nice
Thanks!
Being a Red head. I’m kinda partial to Red hair! Lol
😂
I get you use a 28GA but what size shot are you typically using?
Boss 5s for ducks
Thanks for the reply. How about for geese?
@@traviskinney1187 Boss 4s. But have shot them with 5s as well
Thanks man, I appreciate it! Gonna have to look into the Boss shotshells, been hearing good things about them from a few people.
Keep up the good work, these are great videos! Would love to hunt with you in the Sandhills sometime.
Shot my first blue bill there in December
Nice! Can't believe how many are around
Very cool. Question - approx how far out were those shots? It was hard to tell, im assuming not as far as it looked?
Thanks! Probably about 35 yds at the furthest.
❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
👍
What are you shooting for a 28
Benelli Ethos Super Sport
Вiтаю, мабуть трохи невдале полювання, але всеодно приемно.
Thanks
01:32 Why you miss 2 planes flying over your head? Why you dont hunt them down ?
Not legal to hunt swans in my state
We got 2 blue bills late season y'all stuck only get n 1 that sucks
Yeah, it stinks but oh well.
What gun is that
Benelli Ethos 28 ga
why do u tap your gun be fore u shoot
Activates the Shotkam
@@HighPrairieSportsmen nice
I don't like the word scaup. I prefer bluebill.
How about "dos gris?"
@@HighPrairieSportsmen no se
