  • Join Ryan Callaghan on a quest for ducks in part of America's Heartland - Kansas. Weatherby's Tyler Grethen, Cal and Snort work big water for late season birds. Patience, scouting, numerous relocating setups, and a helpful change in weather conditions bring the ducks in tight and plentiful. Waterfowl wits and gear are tested, but in the end a cooler full of duck and goose meat is rewarded. Presented by ‪@yeticoolers‬ and ‪@FirstLiteHuntingApparel‬.

    I have to admit, I enjoy watching the dogs work as much as I enjoy the human hunters doing their thing. Hearing Cal describe his Snort training across all the MeatEater content gives me a whole new appreciation for the work that goes into a good hunter/dog relationship. I've had zero luck getting my wife's cat to do anything remotely useful.

    "We're so limited on what we can hunt, public land-wise." Welcome to Kansas gentlemen. Lived here all my life and barely have a pile of dirt to hunt on. It's really cool to see that you guys came here, though. Love it.

      Isn't that the truth. Lucky to have what access I do, but it's dwindled to maybe 10% of what I could hunt 20 years ago.

      Hunting, deer hunting especially may be tough in Florida but I there's more public land than I could ever possibly hunt. Been looking into other states as Florida is just getting too damn crowded and expensive and had to completely cut states like Texas because there really is no public land at all.

      @@fernandocarvallo9135 Texas is full of opportunities. Just different opportunities than you'll find in the western states. Everything along the coast is begging to be hunted for waterfowl for example. Lots of TPWD land, USFWS land, and public water.
      Some tremendous fishing too. Just not public big game that's worth a ton. But to be fair, while there are a lot of deer here for those of us fortunate enough to have friends and family with ranches...none of them are particularly amazing in stature.

    my most favorite part is watching my dog love hunting. he was born for it. i dont have to watch ducks come in because i can peak over at his eyes, they are always to the sky. the dog is a machine in the water then loves to cuddle on the couch with the fire place going after a hot shower. hes grey now on the fetcher end but each grey hair is for every bird hes fetched. think of every north western bird a dog could fetch and hes done it. from starling to chukar, hes got a hair for it.

    NE KS born and raised. As a kid we hunted duck on a never ending string of ponds, know one decent sized farmer rancher, you are covered. I am wondering what body of water they are on. It’s flat enough it’s either el dorado lake or out west of 35. Granted we were turds who would never do anything but jump ponds, no waiting in the dark and cold, but I would venture to say private permission is the only way to go.

    Is it legal in Kansas to shoot from a moving boat? Or did Cal anchor? Curious.

    • @N2theBlue1
      @N2theBlue1 7 місяців тому +1

      As long as the motor is shut off and progress from the motor is stopped it’s legal.
      I imagine it can be a matter of opinion when natural drift takes over from motor propulsion

    • @Dylan-jw8if
      @Dylan-jw8if 7 місяців тому +1

      like most states the motor must be off and movement/progress ceased, anchor not required

    • @mikecarroll3132
      @mikecarroll3132 7 місяців тому

      Copied from the KDWP website:
      ILLEGAL METHODS
      Sink boxes, live decoys, baiting, electronic calls, and pursuit with any motorized conveyance or sailboat are illegal. When hunting from a motorized craft or sailboat, the motor must be turned off or the sail furled and progress ceased.
      Nothing mentions anchoring the boat. This year, good duck water is scarce. Most of the ponds around me are dry or 6 to 8 feet low, just like the lakes and reservoirs.

  • @BB-nw3mj
    @BB-nw3mj 7 місяців тому +1

    Hunting big water but no water behind you always puts them on the fringe of range. Shoot 6X and get one sometimes two...but often none. But who cares...as long as there is lead (tungsten) in the air there is hope.

    Why don’t you use your emergency kill switch lanyard? Especially since you are hunting in freezing conditions it would be prudent to connect the lanyard to your person. It should be used anytime you are underway. I’m sure you wouldn’t want any breaking of basic firearm safety rules in your video. You shouldn’t show unsafe boating practices. They can be just as deadly.
