"Hopefully tomorrow we can do a better job of it..." Thats the stuff legends and champions are made of right there. Love it! Any day in the field is a great day, some days you put more birds on the water than others, but there is always tomorrow to get better. Love that attitude, man.
Amen Bruddahs on getting the birds to work! I couldn’t agree with y’all more! So sorry about the motor. That really suck but I know in my heart you guys will bounce back & finish this season strong! Godless you both 😇🙏🏾
I love these videos. Very well produced. To the point of the motor falling off. Like Dennis I have never in my life checked the bolts on my outboards. However I can honestly say every time I've gotten in the mud boat since seeing this video I consciously take notice of the Mud Motors mounting bolts and block.
Phillip Culpepper that’s big time man, really appreciate that! Can’t wait to follow you getting after them turkey this spring on Realtree’s Spring Thunder!

Just remember guys it could have been way worse. At least you found it and looked like probably just some minor damage. Keep your heads in the game and always have good attitudes. As always great video and keep them coming.
Love your videos, and your podcast...........billy cracks me up.! Man tough break on that motor.,. I give you credit for pressing forward and going on foot.. Hey Dennis let me know if you need another field tester for those Retays...........I'm your man!!!
Billy Campbell Hey Bill, put in a good word for me about being a field tester for Retay. This is my first year duck hunting so it’s a little overwhelming at times trying to decide what to purchase next. I got a laundry list of stuff I want to buy but I have to manage the budget. Recently I thought I was saving myself some bucks.. I purchased some used carry light decoys from Craigslist, they were old and worn. I had the bright idea to repaint them. By the time I got done prepping, sanding, buy decoy paint and a cheap air brush. I could have bought a dozen and saved myself a lot of aggravation.. But it like you say “it’s about the experience ” I like being an innovator and making things like jerk rigs, spreaders, and a canoe carrier.. speaking of which I just came up with an idea for an adapter to my existing carrier to adapt a small set of skis for treading through snow. I love your podcast, you and Dennis make a good team. I really like how you are promoting the sport and offering other hunters to hunt with you. You guys are great mentors, and represent all US hunters very well......thank you for that. Keep the videos and podcast going! I don’t know how you guys do it, all the time scouting, and hunting.. You probably have bigger bag limits than us hunters in New England: 2 mallards a day, only on of which can be a hen. Good luck hunting You swamp yankee friend from New England👍😀
@@georgemaerkle3427 awesome George, thank you again! thats right man, shoot if it was always about limits we would have all quit by now! I like your style man, hope you guys are staying safe and have a great season this year!
That's why every time you service your boat and trailer you tighten the bolts on a motor... I've seen 300 horse power off shore boats and the bolts loose, from not being checked every service...
Agree with y’all on getting them in the decoys instead of shooting at them tree top high , anyone can sky bust getting them on in decoys is much more rewarding .nice hunt guys👊
Oh I can top this one. I'd borrowed my dad's evinrude and had it on a really old herters Hudson Bay duck boat that was from the 1950s or maybe the 60s. Transom was soft. I was having fun on the flooded River. Took a turn too sharp and oh shit there it went. I had ahold of the fuel line a second. So I found the nearest marina and they sold me a pos old Suzuki boat motor and loaned me a big treble hook with a rope. I dragged the river for hours then just as we were about to give up it got snagged and we pulled it up. That motor is in my garage today. It was under about 20 feet of water when I pulled it out of the river. My dad never found out. ;) It was the year of the great flood. Kaskaskia River was out and flooded corn everywhere. Every duck in the Mississippi flyway detoured to Lake Shelbyville in Illinois. People from everywhere were hunting where nobody did before. Was awesome except for the motor thing. It happens every day. You break something then fix it...every single day.
Love the videos yall keep doing what yall are doing love to see the sport shown in such a awesome way if yall ever come to georgia let me know if you need a third lol for real though yalls videos always make my day better man
It’s struggle bus season, after scouting for days for no good prospects, we got to the spot to find the bolt on the throttle handle rattled loose. So after rigging that back together with random screws and zip ties, took a 6 mile ride deep in the marsh.. lost 3 birds in the thick bush and 3” ice. We packed up as the last boat in our area passed us the pull cord broke off in my hand.. So we finally flagged the last boat down and got towed back in in the snow to find my windshield wipers went out.. People who think hunting is just showing up and killing innocent animals have never done it!! Better luck to ya boys!
heethen112 oh man, crazy how many stories we rack up like that over the years ain’t it? And that’s a solid one haha, way to get in there brother! Appreciate the feedback and you sharing that story!
Well I think I'll be adding... Check motor mount to my spring list! I also prefer to see them feet down cupped hard before I shoot. Plus they are easier to get a good shot on them and I end up with far less cripples that way! Good luck guys!
Love the videos.. Just started watching. But ya'll blew em out of the hole this hunt. Those late season birds have seen it all. Put the spinners up and go with the jerk strings a suttle calls
Billy, I have a 2020 ProDrive 40. What happened to the motor? What Prodrive say? Did both bolts break or did one come out causing the other to break? I tightened mine up today lol. I live in Farmersville TX if you guys ever need to hunt.
thank you so much for that, really appreciate you being on the journey with us! jframe we use the 737 and a pretty solid mix of cut down calls including the mondo
Some hunters don't shootem on the water some don't shootem In the trees.Sometimes I do both depends on circumstances.I lost a motor too it flew off I let her go before it gnawed my arse up
If you guys ever want to hunt Florida i have 15yrs of honey holes unfortunately i am not able to duck hunt anymore but i can put y'all on ducks down here.
Motor came off because yall got the crazy on to high! Turn it down just a little 😉 but all joking aside I hate that about the motor those things ain't cheap
Guess I’m have to trade my 1754 with 55 on back for smaller rig or I cant hunt these holes anymore, got a 15 as spare engine but that’ll get me ran over
"Hopefully tomorrow we can do a better job of it..." Thats the stuff legends and champions are made of right there. Love it! Any day in the field is a great day, some days you put more birds on the water than others, but there is always tomorrow to get better. Love that attitude, man.
ToddLindsay630 can’t thank you enough for the super words man, thank you brother! 👊🏽
this show is about the best waterfowl show going. Real guys putting in the work, doing things right. I would share a blind with them anytime!
thank you! We are looking forward to getting the season started
More people need to watch and listen to this message!! Awesome video!
Doug Fields thankful for the kind words Doug!

Hoku Insai thanks so much for that!
Too many people sky blast and miss out on the best part. Getting the birds to commit is what it's all about. Not to mention the cripple factor.
Ryan Taylor agreed, appreciate you Ryan and the feedback!

One of the best episodes yet! Ya'll do a heck of job keepin' it real!

You boys rock, stay after 'em! Glad you found the motor man!!!

Good luck getting the boat back up and running. Keep it up. Love the videos!
Dustin Kile we rolling again! Haha, appreciate it very much!
Just remember guys it could have been way worse. At least you found it and looked like probably just some minor damage. Keep your heads in the game and always have good attitudes. As always great video and keep them coming.
Jones Boy's Hunting somebody could’ve gotten a free motor lol
@@WillE454 this is true lol
Jones Boy's Hunting you got that right! Appreciate you fellas!

What kind of choke tube thread Is the kicks in the retay I just can’t fine out what thread it use
Rodney Pennington it’s Marapro
Thanks a lot for that
Good video on hunting on foot
LongviewGarage thank you!
Billy Campbell I’ve been showing these to my 11 yr old son, gives me hope us to novices can give it a go next season.
Billy, I have a 2020 ProDrive 40. What happened to the motor? What Prodrive say? Did both bolts break or did one come out causing the other to break?
I tightened mine up today lol. I live in Farmersville TX if you guys ever need to hunt.
Did you get your motor back on?
Really enjoy your video's. I find myself watching them over and over. What brand/model duck calls do you use?
thank you so much for that, really appreciate you being on the journey with us! jframe we use the 737 and a pretty solid mix of cut down calls including the mondo
Some hunters don't shootem on the water some don't shootem In the trees.Sometimes I do both depends on circumstances.I lost a motor too it flew off I let her go before it gnawed my arse up
Holy cow so sorry for your loss i hope it broke off and some a$$hole didn't steal it.
David Kilroy all good and we back rolling! Thanks so much for the feedback!
Always love watching your videos.

Mud Duck 🤣 haha you the man! Appreciate the feedback!
So is the motor still good???
LongviewGarage needed a little work but KP at Prodrive got us back rolling!
Billy Campbell Good to hear, good luck hunting.
Guess I’m have to trade my 1754 with 55 on back for smaller rig or I cant hunt these holes anymore, got a 15 as spare engine but that’ll get me ran over
Has anyone figured out the intoro song?
Crazy on High
Thank you! Sky busting is unethical!! If you can’t finish the birds at 10-30 yards then you shouldn’t be hunting
