Kayak Jump Shooting On Skinny Water | Goose Hunting 2022
Спорт
Early season goose hunting has kicked off up north but for this hunt we're taking it back to some late season kayak jump shooting that I did with Drew. The duck and goose hunting in Virginia started off pretty good in 2022 due to a couple cold snaps that locked up swamps and other feeding areas. We decided to take advantage of the cold weather by floating down a skinny creek in our kayaks in the hope of finding groups of birds hanging out on the flowing water. We saw lots of birds, missed some opportunities, and got some good jumps too. Hope you enjoy!

Sycamores are very fast growing trees. Nice to see you guys observing your surroundings and being cautious when near the houses. Good call.

Nice shooting. 3 for 3.
Early goose starts here in California tomorrow. Gonna try to decoy some on the river then jump shoot after if that doesn’t work.
Flushed some woodies out of overhanging bamboo like at 8:08 in January. They can always hide but in that stuff they REALLY can hide.

Thank you! The main thing you have to be aware of is that you can't trespass on the lands around the waterbody. That's a big reason why we are very selective with our shots when on these floats since you need to drop the birds in the water
