Waterfowl – Carry or Haul Your Gear
Be smart, travel light, and be prepared. Instead, as a plan B, I tend to bring everything I might need to the marsh and field.

I’ve spent this season in Kryptek’s new waterfowl line and what I’ve found is that I can hunt from 60 degrees and sunny down to temps so cold that the water has frozen while my decoys sat in it.
In the world of waterfowl, “hide” is key. Ducks can see and hear, but getting a good hide is top of the list for a good day of hunting.
The defining feature of the CZ 1012 lineup is the gas-less inertia operating system. The 1012 operates differently from other shotguns and utilizes a spring to harness energy.
Technology advances our waterfowl hunting. Lucky Duck knows this and their new HD 2.0 Remote increases the field of options now available to us duck hunters.
Beginning in 1935, with what at the time was the first waterfowl census, the International Wild Duck Census began to take a look at the population.
Most will agree in the early season and with those hunting ducks further north, spinners are indeed a must.
If you are like me you tend to buy calls, use them, like them, hate them and move on to the next one. Calls take a ton of abuse and often we pay little or no attention to taking care of them both for maintenance and for adjustments. I sat down with a good friend and someone that calls as well as anyone I know, to discuss the call components and how anyone can disassemble, adjust, and rebuild just about any call with a few spare parts.

Dakota Decoys are a product of the Midwest and Missouri River Valley. Bill Willroth, the owner of Dakota Decoys and an avid hunter and media personality orchestrates their design and development. His show The Grind is a great way to learn and enjoy waterfowl hunting.
Over the years of hunting waterfowl, I have become a huge fan of water moving decoy motion. Lucky Duck’s newest decoy product is the compilation of ideas that provide waterfowl hunters an answer to stale, calm, and quiet spreads.
I was probably five or six when I got my first duck and then of course the right of passage required I clean the duck. I had watched my father who I can only assume learned from his father but I still today, do it as he taught me way back then.
There is nothing that I enjoy more than being in places I have not been before and spending my time there in the outdoors hunting. I recently had the opportunity to spend the first weekend in October in North Dakota with Savage Arms on a duck hunt. leading up to the event, I started out with a bit of travel anxiety (not wanting to miss flights, not quite sure where I was going to end up once I got off of the plane, etc…) but it soon led to pure excitement of the hunt and eventually reminiscent happiness once it was over.
WARNING! GRAPHIC CONTENT – When Cody Shipman, 24, and Hayden James, 15, set out to hunt Mallards one frosty January morning on the Snake River in Oregon, they expected the excursion to end like any other: with birds in the boat. But what should have been a successful hunt turned near-fatal after a simple mistake left Shipman with a gruesome wound that’s taken four surgeries to mend.
