Duck Hunting 2024 | Minnesota Teal Season Opener (Limited Out)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- Opening day of the 2024 duck season is finally here! After scouting around on public land the last couple days, I decided to kick off the MN teal hunting season by paddling my kayak into my favorite cattail marsh. Unfortunately the other groups in the marsh started shooting well before legal time but there were enough teal buzzing around that I was able to get in on the action once sunrise hit. Sit back and enjoy some great decoying action and solid retriever work from my young dog Leroy. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy!

Thank u for setting a good example and waiting for legal shooting light. Sad a lot of folks can’t read regulations.
That's what I find so surprising about it. If someone just wants to be an outlaw I'm not gonna stop them but green jeans will eventually catch up with them. Everyone I talked to in the marsh that day said they thought shooting light was 30 minutes before sunrise though. It's just hard to believe that so many people don't read the regs.

@@HokeOutdoors if they’re out there during early teal, they know the regulations. No excuses. Cause that won’t fly with green jeans.
I have followed @hokeoutdoors for awhile now, and I got to say he's probably my favorite UA-cam waterfowler. No "Let's Go" a million times, has respect for his query, and makes an effort to retrieve wounded birds. Definitely a top act.
I really appreciate it! Thank you very much for the kind words and watching my videos as well!
A beautiful morning!! Leroy did a good job on his first teal; can’t wait to see him progress as a duck dog! Looking forward to this season 🤝🏼
Thanks Emily! It was definitely pretty special for me to finally see him in action. Hope your teal opener is just as eventful!
Hey man. I have got to say thank you from all of us who appreciate someone who doesn’t sky bust. Not taking that goose was a great call! Looking forward to your other vids this year.
Thanks Chris, I appreciate that! Hope you had a great opener as well if you were able to get out
You got that vid out quick! Good start!
Thanks brother! We're you able to get out today?
@@HokeOutdoors No. Waiting for a little cool down for the geese. You know Virginia….90 degree waterfowl hunting not high on our list but I guess warm temps traditionally go with early goose. Hope to go soon.
Very smart not letting the dog retrieve when it jumped the call!
Thank you! It seemed to work well, got him out again today and he didn't break once!
Finally a video that actually spends a lot of time focusing on the dog! My dog is literally the reason I hunt so i love seeing it!
Thanks Mark, I appreciate you watching!
It's really awesome that you teach what to look for and what food they eat
Luv ur hunts,you never cease to amaze this oldtimer.
Thank you! I really appreciate you watching them!
Having to live vicariously through everyone's videos for now...2 weeks until we open as of yesterday. Nice little hunt.
Thanks Aaron! Good luck down there! How are things looking for teal season, seeing many around yet??
@@HokeOutdoors there are birds down for sure. Have not put eyes on to the farm I hunt yet, but as long as we have some water, we should get some when the shooting starts.
great job LEROY
Thanks much!
Nice video Thomas, welcome back duck season 🤝
Thanks Eric! You been out at all yet??
@@HokeOutdoors unfortunately not yet, will be after the ducks up north come opener
That’s a fantastic hunt man, I’m jealous honestly. Leroy did a fantastic job in staying steady and I can’t wait to see the rest of the season
Thanks Evan! Appreciate you watching as always!
There were guys shooting 1/2 hour before season by us to in Wisconsin really hurt the hole we were in .
Damn man hate to hear that, have you been out again since opener??
Great opener, great Leroy opener! Keep them coming!
Much appreciated! Got him out again today and he did even better. It's going to be a good duck season!
@@HokeOutdoors Glad to hear. Get them duck call dude out on a colb and we love the cast and blast vids. Gods Grace to your family
Excellent first hunt of the season. Great content as always. Have a good, safe season!
Thanks Dan! Hope you're giving those WI teal a good go!
That's going to be a great duck dog.
Man I hope so! He's definitely got the talent for it, I just gotta do my part on the training!
Great video Thomas! Leroy is impressive.
Thanks Art! I really appreciate it!
Leroy did awesome! Good to see you back in Minnesota! People around me were blasting early down in here Southern MN as well! By waiting until legal time I only ended up with two and my nephew got two. Tons of ducks around…it’s going to be a great season! Loved the video 👍
Thanks Greg! Sorry to hear that you had a similar experience but glad you and the nephew were able to get a few! I appreciate you watching!
that was a fun MN opener man, we had a new dog in our blind as well. She took to it just like Leeroy. Glad to watch another video of yours! glad to see you're in MN doin more stuff.
Thanks brother, congrats on the success with your new dog as well! Got more MN hunts on the way soon, just dropped a new one actually!
That Harlot is $$$ dude! Can’t wait to let it sing!!!
Almost time to let her rip!
Nice season opener! Looking forward to more videos this season. It was nice to meet you at the Waterfowl Expo in Oshkosh. I was the guy from California with Chief the black lab. I'll like how you didn’t let Leroy finish the retrieve when he broke.
It was a pleasure getting to meet you as well! Really appreciate you coming by the booth and the seminar as well. I hope you and Chief have a great season this year, you'll have to keep me updated on how it goes!
Great start to the season for you and Leroy. Nice video!
Thanks brother! Couldn't have asked for a better start to the season!
Really love your videos!! Keep hunting!!
I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Great Video. Love watching the dog work.
Thanks Steve, I appreciate you watching!
Very informal and I love it!
Thanks Logan!
He is back
Mr Hokie
Great hunt Thomas. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Maurice!
Dude great job on that dog btw
I really enjoyed that video thanks for posting that so many good things going on in your video from spread to dog handling.. stuck at work but my soul was there in the hunt.. I want a dog so badly but my work schedule doesn’t allow me to own one now but my friends send me videos and bring their dogs on several hunts each year.
I hate losing birds I can’t find in high grass it really sucks not finding a dove or pigeon
Thanks David, I appreciate you watching! Hope the Nodak duck opener is a great one for you this year and I hope you can get a dog someday as well. It adds a whole other element to waterfowling that is hard to beat!
Nice video and good job Leroy Glad you got Leroy out for his first duck hunt. Are you running a ecollar on Leroy?
I don't know why there is NO TEAL season in SD.
Have had a couple of great am.dove hunts and out again tomorrow morning.
Thanks Don! I am running an e-collar on Leroy, thankfully the only time I needed to use it on this hunt was when he broke that one time. I think SD doesn't have a teal season because y'all have so many mallards and spoonies over there. Instead they go with the 2 extra blue-wings during the first couple weeks of season which is the other option for states besides having a teal season
Great gun dog Sir! Nice hunt. If you ever need a buddy in the marshes count me in!
Thanks you sir! Appreciate you watching!
Leroy was an ace!
Thanks brother!
Nice hunt Thomas. Well done.
Thanks buddy! Much appreciated!
good call on not letting your dog retrieve after he broke. It sucks but its good training
Seems to have worked, fingers crossed! He hasn't broke again since then
Nice spread
We have snails and shrimp in our spot too
Teal alley we call it shallow water paradise 9/21 Nodak duck season
Snails are the size of large acorns
Nice job testing Leroy’s steadiness with the third shot hit. Wouldn’t want him to think all ducks are first shot hits. 😅😅
Haha thanks much! I'm sure he'll watch me whiff plenty throughout the course of the season!
Heck of hunt. Good video
Thanks brother! Appreciate you watching!
Be careful with your dog in places with algae like that, some types can kill them almost instantly. Awesome video!
Much appreciated! It's definitely something I'm very mindful of! Thankfully none of the algae in this marsh is blue-green algae but we do get it on some of the lakes around here during the summer.
Love your videos
Thanks Jason!
Enjoy watching your videos. Just starting to do some kayak paddle hunts and just got my new ascend h12. Curious on where Leroy rides and how he does to and from the stand. Any information will be awesome thanks in advance
Thanks Tyler, I appreciate you watching them! Leroy rides behind me, I did it a few times with him as a puppy so he does really well riding back there now! Let me know if you've got any other questions, always happy to help
Why did the dog not retrieve on the first green wing?
my zone aint open yet, stay safe and godbless
Thank you! You do the same!
I was covered up in teal yesterday and this morning. All dissapeared completely by legal light which was about 5mins too long.
Damn, how late did you stay out there? All three days that I've hunted so far there's been a lot of teal movement between 8:30 and 10am
@@HokeOutdoors I was hunting an area near international falls so not much if a resident population there. Saw plenty til about 10mins before legal then nothing but woodies and ringnecks until 10am when I packed up. Usually I'm hunting the wyoming/isanti area but was up at the cabin doing projects so figured I'd see what happens while I was there. I'm sitting out at a wma right now waiting on the last half hour before sunset to pluck a couple or three off with my Lil. 410 today. Usually have good luck here in the pm
Good call on not shooting at that high goose
90% chance of crippling vs 10% chance of killing it stone dead at that range
How old is Leroy? That dog is very good, on it’s way to exceptional.
Thanks Bret! Leroy is just over a year and half old! Hoping he'll turn into a very solid duck dog!
@@HokeOutdoors He’s already very solid bud!
I have a black lab about the same age as Leroy this year will also be his first season! Awesome training and great video!
I’m guessing your legal shooting light was true sunrise, not 30 min before?
Yes indeed. Although legal was 30 minutes before sunrise for geese.
Singles all day.. 👍🍻
Never going to pass them up!

What go pros do you run?
GoPro Hero 10s
Is that your dog?
Yessir!
@@HokeOutdoors Didn't you have another dog - Roux?
I cannot understand why people believe they need to jump ducks off the water to be more “ sporting “
1 : jumping a duck and shooting it on its first wing flap is no more sporting than cutting him on the water.
2 : after you crippled it , you had to shoot it again on the water , what was the point ?
3 : you’ll never put a pellet one in the breast when shooting them on the water because their breast are below the water line.
Let’s recap what happened ………
Being the sportsman you are , you flushed the bird , crippled it , had to shoot it again and more than likely put several pellets in the breast.
Start water swatting , save shells and save the meat.
I 100% agree on all three of your points and if you watch my other videos you’ll see that I water swat plenty. The only reason I jumped that bird was because Leroy had broke when I shot a previous bird on the water so I was trying to avoid that happening again
$160 bucks for a piece of plastic, make it make sense! *facepalm
Make it make sense? Ok easy, expensive calls usually sound a hell of a lot better then cheap calls. I’m not saying the job can’t be done with a cheap call it definitely can. But nowhere near the sound quality of an expensive call. So why not?
He named his dog leroy 😂. Typical black name.
