Big Mouth Waterfowl Calls
Two more days left until me and the crew leave for North Dakota, to slaughter the ducks and geese. We went up two weeks ago and scouted some good areas that we think will have good hunting. We got permission from a couple farmers that have some pretty good land. Ill keep you guys updated on how we do as the week goes on.
Here's a couple photos from last years hunt in North Dakota.
Well everyone the day is here, the day that me and the team are headed out to North Dakota to slay some huge northern mallards and Canadian geese. We got the trailer loaded and full of decoys and the dogs in the back ready to work. Tune in tomorrow morning find out how we did, wish us luck.
For years hunters have been trying to find the one trick that guarantees ducks and other waterfowl to drop there feet and head straight into the decoys. Well they have found the money maker that does such, motion decoys. Movement catches the eye of almost anything. But when it comes to waterfowl hunting, there is two types of motion, Attraction motion, and Simple motion. Attraction motion is used to get the attention of distant birds, and simple motion is what tricks them into thinking the decoys that are set out are alive. When it comes to duck hunting, the Mojo duck decoy is the gold mine for motion decoys. The flash they make which mimics the flapping of wings right before they land, attracts birds at far distance and gives them something to look at.
When it comes to field hunting for ducks and geese, one of the major items you need is a layout blind. Layout blinds come in many different styles, some are designed for ease of mobility, while others feature a low-profile look for wary birds and a lack of field cover. Some concentrate on comfort. It depends on what style you want but there all generally going to do the same thing. My personal favorite layout blind is the Banded Cross Cut Layout blind. Their new Cross Cut Blind features a super-tough square tube frame, but conceals well with the elongated skirting on each side, all of which features concealment straps. The blind also features a zippered flag door, as well as a zippered boot bag for easy cleaning at the end of the hunt. It retails for $299.99. At the end of the day it's a little more money, but it's worth every bit of it.
Well the trip to North Dakota wasn't as good as we intended it to be. I mean we shot our limit of birds for the trip, but we really had to work for them. The way the weather was, it was way to warm for the birds to have migrated south yet from Canada. So we were mainly still shooting the local birds instead of the big northern birds. So I think in the next couple weeks if the weather gets a little colder, me and the crew will head to North Dakota again and try to slay some mallards!!!!
For this waterfowl season I choose the Remington Versa Max as my weapon of choice. My whole life i have only shot Benelli shotguns, but once i heard about the Versa Max i had to get it. Whats unique about the Versa Max is that it has the Versaport gas system which regulates cycling pressure based on shell length. Having that gas system reduces recoil to that of a 20-gauge.
The best feature is the Self-cleaning that takes place inside the gun. Remington did a test by continuously shooting thousands of rounds without cleaning the gun, and the Versa Max never jammed up nor work incorrectly. If you haven't gone out and shot the Versa Max, you better do so.
