A little dog tip. I have a white bumper in my boat/sled. I use it in my hand to give hand signals. Think of dogs perspective...eyes a few inches off the water, poor light, sometimes surf, you in came with camo gloves against a background that camo blends with. I hold the bumper centered on my body for the sit whistle, then give over or back with it. They see white quite well...

That’s a great idea. I always take off my hat and use the inside of it which is lighter in color.

When it’s snowing, we use less decoys and put the ones we are using on a jerk string. Saves a lot of walking to dust the snow off.

It’s amazing how calling/ hunting styles are from location to location across the country.

Snow hunts are always some of the most rewarding hunts. It's great to see Hunter out there!

You got that right!

Snow on the decoys is definitely the problem. Been there and noticed the difference. Great day hen slayer!!!

Great content. I love hunting whistling wings in the snow. Super jealous.

No matter what, that was a beautiful hunt. The snow big groups. You don't always have to shoot a limit to have a good time🎉 Hunter needs to slow down a little bit. He's rushing his shots I think. Good to see you guys hunting together again. Boys getting big fast now. You're starting to make me feel old watching your videos seeing these kids grow up

It just clicked in my head that Hunter is a kid I had seen on a local group, Jason was posting him working on some of his own taxidermy stuff! Pretty cool! I never made that connection

Use antifreeze on your decoys. The snows melts right off as it hits. We do that for full bodys in the field

interesting idea! So just put it in a spray bottle, carry it with you and apply before setting them out?

From the great northwest public duck Blind, Very nice hunt you can't beat that weather, Those ducks are hard to ID in that condition. Myself I picked up a couple Hens, Then I shot a nice green head that went over on its back. I can see from a distance it's got a belly like a Hen. I thought oh no. But no that's exactly what it was A hen belly design on a mallard Drake. I guess I gotta get new decoys. OK God bless from the great Northwest. Where we see some strange birds?

Great content as always. What size of shot do your prefer this time of year. i tend to heavier later in season due to the density of the ducks feathers.

Weird to shoot a couple ducks then kill the mood because they’re both hens… it’s hunting.

We all have our own thoughts and goals. For me is disappointing to have a flock in and shoot hens. There’s no right or wrong . Just different people who do what they do.
