Three New Species In One Hunt?! | Duck Hunting 2023 (Mixed Bag)

On my recent trip to South Dakota, we were lucky enough to find a giant feed of ducks and snow geese hitting a corn field that we had permission to hunt! We headed there the next morning with layouts, a snow goose spread, and some very high hopes. We picked off a mixed bag of mallards, wigeon, and teal before the geese started flying, but once they got off the roost there was a steady stream of geese working our decoys. It was an incredible morning watching the snow geese put on a show for us! Hope you enjoy!

Can we get a video on your updates loadout? Gun, gear, calls, etc. this would be awesome thank you. (For Ducks and Geese)

[@thedog24633210]

Brilliant video, the variety of your content is top notch well done Thomas

[@HokeOutdoors]

I appreciate it! Got more different stuff coming out soon!

[@Ca_Tule_Ninja]

Somebody needs to get a new Wigeon whistle. The sound they were making was wayyyy too deep. Awesome video!!

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks brother! That was my wigeon whistle, it's a great whistle for the mallard drake call but falls a little short for wigeon

[@HighPrairieSportsmen]

Snows and specks! That's an awesome day

[@HokeOutdoors]

Thanks Matt! It was a blast!

Great work in the field!

[@yougotmossed3592]

I thought it was in one of the Dakotas. Thx for responding.

[@firemetalhead5863]

Anytime you kill a bird at 75+ yds out you need to say “I gave em the ol HOKEy pokey” just a thought

[@HokeOutdoors]

Haha I try not to poke at them that far out! Was feeling very confident in my shooting on this hunt though so I decided to try a couple shots that I would usually hold off on

[@FAFO_24]

I've always wanted to try eating all those to see which ones are the best. We don't get them here except for on the big money farms.

[@HokeOutdoors]

The speck was definitely the best but the snows weren't far behind! Hope you can get a few this season so you can do a taste test for yourself and report back on your preference!

[@camdenprejean4351]

What choke are you using in the ole Franchi?

[@denverharleman8045]

my dad speck was jet black in front.

[@HokeOutdoors]

That's awesome! Love seeing them when they get like that!

[@nolanminor6761]

You can't call it a ross's anymore!!!

[@HokeOutdoors]

Midget goose

[@joen9004]

Hey man hope you are doing good can you do a gun review again on your affinity ..how it has held up the camo...

[@HokeOutdoors]

Been doing well, how about you? I will do another Affinity review this off season, this is my 5th year using it so it's about time for another update. The camo has worn on it a good bit but I really don't mind that

[@joen9004]

Thank you!

[@Greenboxgreenheads]

Is that cookies and cream bird A hybrid kind of seems like it

[@HokeOutdoors]

I believe it was just a juvie blue goose that was starting to transition to having a white head. Still a really cool looking bird though!

[@jadengarner1673]

what you know about shooting the spinner 🤨🤣

[@HokeOutdoors]

Not much, some goober shot mine once though 🤣

[@parksp5680]

What gun camera do you use?

[@HokeOutdoors]

It's a ShotKam Gen 4

[@Sam-pf7dy]

What shells you shooting?

[@HokeOutdoors]

Federal Blue Box 3 inch #2 shot on this hunt

[@calebstarnes6136]

What kind of shotgun u got

[@HokeOutdoors]

Franchi Affinity 3

[@yougotmossed3592]

Where are you hunting?

[@HokeOutdoors]

This was in South Dakota

[@mohlerproductions]

Where you out of? New to the UA-camr content making. Up to 600 subs and hoping to get big enough to go do collabs with other content makers

[@kylerobeen4359]

Meat hog outdoors. Really pushing for only left end of the set shots.

[@shoresoutdoors2908]

Hey man what sd cards do you use for your go pro I’ve had nothing put problems out of my go pro hero 10

[@HokeOutdoors]

I mainly use the Sandisk Extreme ones. You're probably running into issue with the write rate on your cards not being high enough. You want to have at least 100 mb/s for the Hero 10s

[@shoresoutdoors2908]

@@HokeOutdoors okay I’ll give that a try I appreciate it bud !

[@13hawks32claws]

Wigeon can be weird around motion decoys. It could have been those spinners that they didn’t like.
