I got me one of those Rascals
okay so hey everybody Robert Arrington
here you're watching my channel deer
meat for dinner and a lot of you guys
have been asking for a video about what
gear I use and how I hunt you're going
to go duck hunting you need to have a
sleeve for your gun typically it's going
to be wet it's going to be money you're
gonna walk them through stuff and the
last thing you want to do is get out on
a hunt and have your gun jammed
this is very important it's kind of soft
keeps the gun protected inside is the
important stuff it's like a blow pop you
know hard candy shell nice gum in the
middle got your shell you've got your
gun make sure it's unloaded this is my
escort 20 gauge actually it's Sarah's
escort 20 gauge what's cool about it is
that the stock of the gun is a little
shorter so when I aim I can swing around
real nice and easy I shoot the 12-gauge
but it's at home right now this one was
in the truck and I've been hunting
I got a vote
yeah yeah first time I've ever shot this
escort 12-gauge very good Robert yeah
you win for today I'm right-handed
I'm right I dominant when I throw up I
keep both eyes open at all if it's a
longer shot I may lead them a little
bays a little ways farther if it's a
closer shot I'm gonna put it right on
his head and pull the trigger works
every single time well almost every
single time now so it's affordable it
fits and it performs escort legacy
sports international check them out
you've got to have something to put in
your gun that is Kent fast teal this is
a 12-gauge three-inch or we shoot the 20
gauge three-inch number fours I like the
number fours it's great for ducks like
pintails whistling ducks mallards
teals it's a great all one all-around
shot okay
typically we're shooting birds that are
decoy they're within 40 yards this
number for fast do bite Kent works
awesome
they never Jam and they work great check
this out three birds with one shot oh I
killed three with one shot holy crap now
as you guys can tell ring is back
they're having just an absolute ball and
that's what hunting is all about so
you've got your escort shotgun or at
least I do I've got my Kent fast deal
you need a thermos out let me tell you
something if your duck hunting anywhere
in the south and even in Arkansas during
the early season let me tell you
something mosquitoes will ruin a hunt
don't expect someone else to have one
have your own make sure you've got
plenty of fluid check okay this one's
full and make sure you've got
plenty of extra pads they're really easy
to replace get this thing turned on and
the mosquitoes will leave you alone very
important thermos L and again you guys I
want you all to know none of these
products I'm talking about these aren't
companies paying me these are just
products that I use in the field and
absolutely trust this is just insane now
you got to have decoys these are my
green headgear teals I got a dozen blue
wings and a dozen green wings that's the
only way to do decoys this is the Texas
rig and you guys are looking for any
waterfowling equipment steel shot decoys
waders camo whatever check out sportsman
specialties Fellsmere Florida talk to
Chris Andy or Jeff let's say you're
going to a hotel you want that hotel to
fit your livelihood I act like mallards
are like partying 21 year olds they talk
a lot they're making a lot of commotion
they're swimming around they're quacking
and everybody they're having a good time
therefore that's how you would call them
you put decoys out maybe a mojo if
you're in the timber or early morning
have a lot of decoys have some bubblers
going on you have a lot of movement
because that's what's gonna draw them in
okay okay so I want to talk specifically
about the black-bellied Whistling Duck
it's a doc I've been hunting a lot lady
lately really trying to learn about
taking black bellies are nocturnal birds
so they feed all night long and then
they want to come back and find a
secluded quiet area that they feel
comfortable in okay if your Till's are
getting a lot of pressure in in an area
they want to look for quiet isolated
areas that they feel safe in now if you
put out a spread for whistling ducks you
don't want to put big ducks that are
going to quack run around make a lot of
commotion because think of it this way
let's say you're on a trip you're going
somewhere and you're just you're tired
you want to get some sleep well you're
not looking for a hotel that's having a
monster party you're looking for a hotel
that's got some people in it so you know
it's safe and it's nice and quiet
that's what whistling ducks are looking
for so when I put up my spread I don't
have any Mojo's no movement just a
handful maybe one or two dozen Till's in
one little area and I don't want any
movement never quack those whistling
ducks are coming around never quack
because that would be like you being
super tired want to get some sleep
pulling up into a hotel and there
there's a bunch of people running around
like you let boarded what's up shock
tonight you'd be like uh probably not
where I want to lay my head down
whistling ducks are the same way so if
you're hunting him they're coming in
don't quack very little movement just
give them an area whistle on them a
little bit that's typically what they
sound like when they're flying when
they're coming into land they go like
this
bbbbbb once they're already landed and
they're talking to birds in the air they
just go something like that now there's
no duck in the world harder to mimic
than a whistling duck especially a
black-bellied Whistling Duck but give it
a try they'll really cut come back to it
once that birds coming to you get quiet
don't see anything going if they're
going away whistle Adam once they cut
maybe maybe whistle just to touch more
but leave it alone well three this is
Sarah's pink tradition call if you want
to get real technical you're going to
need to look at a technical caller again
I'm referring to Phil chase Robertson
they may never win a a calling
competition that those dudes can call
ducks that are deaf so in Florida this
is my Mallard call that's all I'm doing
and to make that noise it's just you
getting the davidic to the back that's
if I'm in shallow water if I'm in deeper
water where those birds just want to
land and it's no feeding it's just or
just a quack and that's just a hen
sitting on the water if I want to call a
drink take a whistle like this
just just a whistle put my finger in the
end of it and just go good good good
tree frog learned out from the master
Drake now you're mimicking a pair if you
look and you see a pintail coming in
plug the end Penndel call real simple
these are birds you're gonna see around
here if it's a wigeon Widgeon call I'm
not the best at that but whatever ah
those Duchess oh you know a little quick
tutorial on calling and put that back in
there and that's it so you got to find
an area that you can hunt do some
scouting figure out the birds sit there
without a gun and listen to them how are
they talking to one another how is that
bird talking to another bird that's
flying by spend some time in the
outdoors and again I'm not a purist I
shoot a shotgun the way it works for me
if you need to close one eye to stay on
it fine I will tell you this
check out the Buress speed bean foe gage
baby first speed bead
I'm gonna tell y'all right now we're out
here in Arkansas mud and keeping our
cameras safe from the element is like a
number one because if we don't have our
footage all this is just a vacation so
we carry all of our cameras in the Plano
all-weather gun guard cases it's the
extra-large pistol case we keep all our
still cameras and small video cameras at
the Ducks are just raining in here but
it's time to go home this is proof
positive how much I trust this do that
with your camera case that's what it's
all about folks you want to get out
there you want to have a good time you
want to have a shotgun that you can feel
comfortable with that one ain't going
you want to be shooting shells that you
know are going to perform you don't want
to get other having a great hunt
shooting shells that are gonna jam or or
not perform I aimed at the person then
you shot and dropped it and I was like
all that [ __ ] second
I'm not Phil Robertson I'm not Jase
Robertson I'm not one of these guys
that's the best in the world
I've just got some really good land
where there's plenty of docks and when
you come duck hunting with me it's about
having a good time taking homes nice
