Anyone use their gloves for waterfowl? I’ve been looking at the Yukon pro gloves, but can’t find any reviews for waterfowlers. They are on sale right now. I did try on the Sitka blizzard GTX and they were okay. They were just really thick.

Been braving the cold in uninsulated waders... Would the 3.5mm neoprene waders from tidewe with 800g insulated boots, be good (118$ shipped)? They also sell 5mm, but I'm concerned it may be too thick/warm. I prefer setting up on the edge of flooded timber, but sometimes may need to setup and sit in the water. They also have some a little more expense with 200g insulation, instead of neoprene, but is jump in price really worth it and we'll that type of Insulation do good when actually having to wade in the water for 3+ hours?

I’m looking to get my first goose call and these seem to be the top two recommended. Does anyone have experience with both? I like how the PC1 is cheaper but the COD seems more versatile.

Edit: was also looking at the Canada hammer, so many choices 😵‍💫

Thanks!

I am a novice when it comes to duck hunting. I will be headed on a hunt in the coming weeks with my Benelli M2 and Remington 870 as backup. As an avid dove hunter, in the last few years, I have had issues cycling winchester shells through all of my auto loaders, Remington, Benelli, Beretta. I wanted to ask the group what is or isn’t working for everyone before I set out on my journey to buy shells.

Say a corn farm is near a public pond. Say that a truck driving off with the harvest spilled corn in that pond. Maybe a crash, or it was over filled, or something causing corn to come out of the truck and into the water. Could you still hunt that without it being considered baiting? Would you let the GW know that it already had corn in it before you got there in case they pull up while you’re hunting it?

Purely hypothetical

Edit: thanks for all the feedback! This truly is a hypothetical and just a thought that came to mind. Most of the rare public areas to hunt where I’m at are often surrounded by farm land. Some are planted, some are harvested and some in the process of being harvested.

When yall are hunting and you pick up a goose, what makes you think “im putting this on my wall!”?

When I shot my first group of mallards a few weeks ago I picked up the first mallard and I KNEW he was a stud. He was big and fat, multiple curls on his tail and beautiful. When I shot my shoveler in full plume I looked and it was the most beautiful bird I’d ever seen. When I shot my pintail, it was big and flawless.

What do yall see in your geese that make you feel that way? Any specific characteristics?

I had two rig em rights and an Avery. Nothing seems to hold up. Last rig em rights I had the plastic zipper slider broke in half while I was zipping it up. Tired of spending money on sub par products.

Greenwing teal with skin on tastes like steak wrapped in bacon.. change my mind

We only really had these three work our spread. There was a pile of a hundred on the ice 200yds south of us that drew all the flying birds away

Icing on the cake for the day. We sure celebrated Black Friday in my blind.

Once again, I'm lucky enough to have impoundments in my area, but they are definitely hunted well early AM. Do you think it would be worth decoying these places after 9/10am, once everyone has left?
