You weren't kidding, those birds were on TOP of you! I have a hard enough time with full chokes as it is myself anyways, I've tried this year to not really shoot anything outside 30-ish yards unless I'm hunting geese then I'll run a full and #2s or bigger. I've had much more success just limiting myself to quality shots. Good hunt Matt!

Thanks! Yeah, I would typically use an IC in a place like this. Was sure how the birds were going to work exactly so I left the full in.

You're my favorite KZreadr to watch Matt. You have the best ethics when it comes to the shots that you take. Buddy I do not like the sound of the animator decoy in the videos. I also think that it spooked those ducks right up out of the decoys. Could camera or microphone placement make the decoy sound quieter in the video? It took me two tries to watch this whole video because I couldn't stand listening to that thing. I understand that's a personal problem but I'm sure I wasn't alone.

@HighPrairieSportsmen

6 ай бұрын

Appreciate it Allen! It doesn't seem as noisy in person but others have said they don't like the sound either.

The only time I've said "too close" in waterfowling has been shooting passing over geese at 20ish yards and then having to do a COD dive out of the way as the hit goose plummets to the ground like a cannon ball haha.

That sound is amplified on ant camera. Its been a struggle for our company to show the true sound on film. Trust us when we say, you'll kill more ducks using it, and its not annoying in the spread. 3000+ hunters swear by them. If you'd like to try one, give us a call.

It's the sound that finishes the birds. These ducks make wings-on-the-water sound all the way down the flyway. The only place they never hear live wings on the water is in a spread. This thing works, I'd gladly send you a free one to try out. It doesn't sound good on camera, and it's not supposed to make waves. It's the world's first water call. And it works- very well. 👊💯
