Mallards DUMPED Into This ICE HOLE! (Limited Out) | 28 Gauge Duck Hunting
Matt is out in some miserable conditions for a solo duck hunt with his 28 gauge. There weren't a ton of ducks around but the ones that were decoyed right into his spread and didn't want to leave! It wasn't long before Matt had an all drake limit of mallards. Hard to beat duck hunting an ice hole in snow and sleet. It was an awesome day of duck hunting!

Letting the ducks finish. Its a thing of beauty. You would be surprised how rare it is these days. Hats off to ya for doing it right.
Thanks! Love watching them work
I've been hunting duck and pheasant for over 40 years and I want to tell you that I love your videos. Your awesome, you make me feel like I'm in the blind and the cold with you. I just had shoulder replacement surgery and your videos have REALLY helped get through the recovery. Thanks
Appreciate that Ed! Hope you heal up soon
Been several months since the season closed, but I still love watching the duck hunting videos! Also...dang them ducks didn't want to get up lol.
No they didn't haha
@@HighPrairieSportsmen they make a nice addition to your decoy spread
So glad you stash some videos for after season this gets me so excited!!
Glad to hear it!
Enjoyed the video. I'm glad you still have some duck hunting videos for us to enjoy.
Appreciate it! More to come all offseason
Great content as always! Thanks for the waterfowl fix, only in 6 months left for central California duck season 😎
Thanks! Who's counting though haha?
Bloody love this channel, another great hunt. Thanks mate 👍
Appreciate it!
What a great little spot and a great hunt! Nothing better than an ice hole!
You've got that right buddy!
This video reminded of that Duck Hunting game on our old Atari days :D that dog was laughing at us when you miss 😅
Haha I remember that dog well
Makes me feel cold again. I love it.
Thanks!
Amazing place u in there. And good shoting aswell👍🙂
Thanks!
missing duck huntin so bad this week and this video pops up! fall cant come soon enough
Agreed!
Always enjoy watching a video like this in the morning to start the day. Hopefully you have move to share congrats great looking mallards
Appreciate it Bob! More to come all offseason.
Man you had the spot they wanted that’s for sure! Awesome video
Thanks!
Spring is finally here in our state, but I gotta say those gray skies and the sound of sleet on the marsh grass really got me excited for next year. Had to laugh when it took you 3 shots to kill that one on the water. That's ok. I usually take 6 or 7 after a lengthy chase with the kayak, dog, etc.😃
Haha not my best shooting there. I'm ready for September already
Those flocked FA Mallards are so lifelike that the ducks don’t wanna leave
it's the conditions more than the decoys
Haha they did the trick
@@HighPrairieSportsmen or it could have been that amazing stick blind
Love the camera angles man
Thanks!
That second duck didn’t have a care in the world 😂
Nope
@@HighPrairieSportsmen nice hunting tough!
Thanks for holding some shows back for us in the off-season Matt! Great hunr! Barry
Thanks Barry! More to come
@@HighPrairieSportsmen Can 't wait!
"Get up" "Nah im good you know you cant kill me like this" "Fine if you want me to fly away - missed me!- Haha!- oh" -🦆
recently came across you channel and its my new lunch break entertainment . looks like you hide was excellent and they had no clue you were there.
Glad to hear it!
You are a lucky man.... Drakes heading your way and they dont leave until u get up and take em
It was an amazing hunt for sure
Enjoyed your video. I’m 60 and have been duck hunting from the age of 12. Simple spreads are perfect for end of season small water locations. Thanks…
Appreciate it!
Sweet hunt 👍🦆
Thanks!
Thanks for another great video. Out of all the waterfowl content posted on KZhead your channel is one of the best. You show it like it is, the good hunts and the bad hunts. I'm curious to know your thoughts, I'm interested in going out to Nebraska for a DIY waterfowl hunt. Whats the public land hunting pressure like? I'd probably be looking at the High Plains zone.
Appreciate it! Pressure can be high. Really depends when and where you go.
That was a great day
Yes it was!
I wish we got dumb mallards in NC 😂 love the 28 ga hunt, missin me some duck season! Let’s see some more turkeys!!!
😂 Thanks! Right there with you! More turkeys coming soon...
lmao that duck was gangster, tried to call ur bluff
Really enjoyed that thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome hunt. Hi from Russia
Thanks!
Man that first green head got the whole pattern
He was close!
Pond swat them if you have to, you did enough work to get them to land there and not want to leave. You did your job, let 'em have it lol
👍🏻
Great video.
Thanks!
would be super cool if you could go over your ammo info and gun info before every hunt! love your videos, yk... when the season opens up in a looong few months
I'll try to do that. Thanks! Benelli Ethos 28 ga, Boss 2 3/4" 5s this hunt
Great video as usual, just curious, did you ever try the 3" 28s? Watched a video and he found the 2 3/4" patterned better than the 3s. Just wondering how they performed for you.
Thanks Ray! I did, mainly on geese. They worked well enough but I would agree with the 2 3/4" patterning better. Here's a video where I used them: kzhead.info/sun/rL2gY51wgZqNgJ8/bejne.html
Never get tired of your hunts, well done. Love the small water shoots 👍
Appreciate it Dave!
Nice solo hunt bro,very 👍!! Ime jealous 😮
Thanks!
No shame in water swatting. IMO that means you did your job.
Yep, just not my preference to do so.
@@HighPrairieSportsmenY
When you do water swatting, especially at that range put the bead below the duck. You’ll find the pattern preforms much better that way.
@@HighPrairieSportsmenwhat choke and shot/ shells you used. Which state ?
@@MHFA1981 IC or full, Boss 6s. I hunt multiple states.
Great video 👍👍
Thanks!
You know its a good day when you cant run em out of the spot. Good hunt
Thanks man!
Скоро новый сезон! Парни удачи Вам! Охота на любом континенте , остаётся охотой! С полем Вас! И удачи!
Thanks!
Great video ! What shotkam do you have ?
Thanks! Gen 4
@@HighPrairieSportsmen thanks so they have any others cheaper then $600 bucks lol
@joshuaverdin2160 yeah, I believe they still sell the Gen 3
Lovely shot ❤
Thanks!
Love the video's, but why won't you water swat them? You decoyed them, they are well within killing range , perfect headshot kill shots... to each their own, just curious
Thanks! Just personal preference.
Here’s a question from a uk shooter, out of interest did you not see them coming in to shoot before land, and also if it did land and didn’t want to get up can you leave it in the decoy pattern to tempt others ?
Correct. With the weather, they were decoying in immediately with little time to shoot. I could have but there weren't many birds around that day.
@@HighPrairieSportsmen I’d love to come across to the otherside of the pond for some shooting one season ! 🤟
I am glad I am not the only one that smacks them on the water.....they taste just as good that way as out of the air......grilled rare with a sprits of olive oil, S&P....
They are very tasty!
Please keep these awesome hunts coming man.... By the way,,, what choke is that and how do you like the Muller chokes I've seen you use often?
More on the way! This was a factory full. Haven't tried Muller chokes yet. Just use the factory ones from Benelli. I like them.
Класне полювання, приємно дивитись, фарту тобі завжди.
Thanks!
I’m from Wisconsin so not trying to figure out your spot, but just curious if you’re kayaking or walking in there, and how far of a trudge you have to get in there. Looks like you’re in the middle of nowhere.
Walking. Close to two miles
Nice hunt fella!
Thanks!
Tres belle vidéo , Nice
Thanks!
What kind of gloves do you use towards later season in the cold?
Cotton ranching gloves. Just have several pairs and swap out if they get wet
Thanks! I have trouble keeping my hands warm especially later in the season. I will try this and see if it helps.@@HighPrairieSportsmen
This is actually the first time i"ve seen duck hunting, what do you do with the ducks after you collect them?
I eat them. I'll save feathers for decorations or fly tying as well.
What shells have you used with the Benelli and have worked with no problems?
Boss 2 3/4" and 3" various shot sizes
Is this spring duck hunting? Lol. These birds must be deaf. 😅 Five stars.
Haha they may have been. Thanks Cooper!
Lol, this is like watching some augmented reality version of Duck Hunt. The video showing the red dot is great.
Thanks!
Is this a remote area or early in the season? These ducks don’t seem to be at all gun shy. Also not sure if it’s just in this video, but you appear to be rushing your first shot without a good follow through, then correcting it with the second shot perfectly adjusting the lead. Some hunters choose to load only one cartridge for a little while to correct this, as it puts more emphasis on taking your time with it. PS. So often harder to kill/ finish them on the water when their vulnerable parts are submerged. Pellets can just bounce off the feathers! Great video, cheers from Australia.
Thanks! It was late in the season. The weather had them looking to decoy. I was rushing my shot this day for whatever reason.
@@HighPrairieSportsmen happens to us all. For some reason I feel I rush my shots more when I’m shooting alone, not quite sure why. Sometimes it’s just so exciting when they pitch in, especially if it’s been a quiet morning. I love how universal the feeling of waterfowl hunting is amongst those who partake in it, no matter where in the world you are. Cheers
I’m supposed to be sad and butthurt by this, at least I was expecting to feel that way before watching this. But I’m not. I admire how you’ve planned your shoots and executed them here. It’s pretty much the real Duck Hunt this.
I appreciate your comment. These ducks provided me with food and we owe it to them to harvest them as painlessly as possible.
@@HighPrairieSportsmen Hi! Thanks for writing back. The first part of my comment was a bit tongue in cheek and dry witted. But yeah…What you’re saying is so true of those ducks being an important source of food for you and this is the appropriate means to get them as humanely as possible. I’ll definitely be watching more of your videos. Stay well man.
Great video
Thanks Kraig!
Good job.
Thanks!
Do u scare the turkey before u shoot it....water swats for days!!!
Haha just my personal preference
@@HighPrairieSportsmen i would also miss 3 times lol
How do you record the videos with the red dot?
Shotkam
Nice!
Thanks!
What’s the camera you use under barrell
Shotkam
I feel like I get less BB's in the breast when water swatting. Where I hunt you don't get very many opportunities anyways so I take what I can get when I can get it. However this morning I did get my first ever banded duck. Drake Wood duck. Along with a woodie limit. Any limit is rare here lol. I'm also using Boss 5's
Nice job! Congrats!
С полем, хорошая охота!
Thanks!
I was just thinking about hunting and this showed in my recommended videos
Perfect timing haha
what kind of camera is that on ur gun i want one
Shotkam
What shotgun are you shooting?
Benelli Ethos
What is the sound claim that you use?
A duck call and whistle
Yes, but what brand and model is it?

Does that 28g have a ported barrel
Yes
What brand is that I’d like a ported one

uhm, is this your current weather?
No
Nice bro reminds me of a long time ago 😢
Thanks!
Красава!!!👍
Thanks!
@@HighPrairieSportsmen как называется камера на которую ты снимаешь?🤔
GoPro Hero 8
@@HighPrairieSportsmen спасибо бро!🤝
What is the reason you'd want the duck to be in the air and not on the water? I've never heard of this, is it an American thing?
Some perceive it to be more sporting. Ultimately it's personal preference
@@HighPrairieSportsmen ahh I see, thanks very much 👍
Very nice hunting video, you got your limit that is a good day
Thanks!
😂❤😂❤
👍🏻
Hello from Qazaqstan,I am a hunter
Nice
bonjour comment obtenir se point rouge svp slts
It's from the Shotkam
Yep, and hayduck don't seem to be a very good option. When trying to get up, ducks change it up brother.
👍🏻
That’s a good problem to have 🤣
No kidding haha
Отличная охота малодец удачи тебе 😊😊😊
Thanks!
In our country, it´s strictly forbidden to shoot any birds when they sit on the ground or on the water. Also, we are not allowed to hunt ducks alone. It has to be organized, a minimum of three people, one of them being the leader.
That stinks
супер
👍🏻
id be the guy too shoot the decoys
Haha that'll happen
تحياتى لك ، بالتوفيق
Thanks

Thanks!
are you sure that duck is not domesticated LOL!!
Haha pretty sure
what farm are you hunting at and what do the ducks eat pellets!
What choke,

Poor ducks 😭
It's where food comes from
Groundsluicer.

Очень сильно замаскировался 🙂
Yep. Concealment is key
@@HighPrairieSportsmen Просто оно настолько ключевое, что когда охотник встаёт - утка его всё равно не видит. Видимо маскировка - режим невидимости 🙂
I don't care how good a shoot we are . We all have are off days . I do no shame in it
Yep
Crazy that you yell at ducks, my area is so over hunted just seeing a half dozen cup in a weekend is a “good” weekend.
That stinks
Good video but don't fire in 10 Yard ...
Thanks

Lol just water swat them bro wtf you think if roles were reversed he wouldn’t? Not a chance bro sheeeeesh or is this some sort of weird flex bro
Not a flex. Just personal preference
