Video: Snow Goose Hunting – Decoys and Blind Concealment

Snow goose hunting doesn’t have an exact science. Put 10 snow goose hunters in an area and different fields will be selected, decoys will be arranged differently, and blinds will we be situated in different areas of the spread. This video shows how we typically setup for snow goose hunting, but there are a 100 ways to do it. Many times, how we start the day is completely different from how our decoys and blinds end up at the...

Video: Scouting For Snow Geese

Snow goose hunting success can come from spending time scouting. You have to know where the snow geese are, where they’re feeding, and how they’re getting there. Even with hours of driving and hundreds of miles, all the scouting doesn’t always pay off. Mother nature heavily dictates the rate of the migration and often times snow geese will fly different routes and feed in different fields on a daily basis. The poor weather and unpredictableness of snow geese left...
Duck Hunting Late Season

Video: Late Season Duck Hunting in Missouri

Video: Duck Hunting Water Sources

Duck hunting often takes place on water sources. Different water sources determine you strategies for calling and decoying ducks into your decoy spread. Layout boat duck hunting is popular on large lakes such as lake Erie while large spreads of full body and floater ducks and geese are the way to go while hunting on rivers. For smaller bodies of water such as ponds and flooded food sources, a mixed species spread that looks natural is a great way...

Video: Duck Hunting Dry Fields

Duck Hunting Video In this duck hunting video, we’re in North Dakota hunting a corn field that was a hot food source the day we scouted it. This field had thousands of mallards utilizing it which was an exciting find, but ended up causing more harm than good. Duck hunting dry fields requires a different game plan than hunting over water. A hot food source can offer some great duck hunting, but it requires careful scouting and conditions that...

Snow Goose Migration Update – April 8, 2013

Snow Goose Migration These snow goose migration updates are starting to sound like a broken record! A brief warm-up followed by snow that pushes some snow geese back south while others continue to stage in the same areas. For the fourth or fifth time this spring, a snow storm is taking aim across migration corridors.

Video: Adapting to Changing Conditions While Duck Hunting

Duck Hunting Video This duck hunting video is all about adapting to changing weather conditions and where the ducks want to be. During our trip to North Dakota to hunt mallards with Muddy Dog Outdoors we experienced a wide variety of weather that forced us to always be adjusting our hunting locations. There were also large numbers of snow geese in the area that quickly depleted fresh food sources. Through our scouting we were able to locate fresh food...

Snow Goose Migration Update – April 1, 2013

The snow goose migration continues to be behind schedule thanks to a delayed onset of spring weather. Continued below normal temperatures in the northern plains and a substantial snow pack have the snow goose migration locked up over portions of South Dakota. In the next week, spring like weather looks to settle into areas of South Dakota and Nebraska which should get snow geese trying to head north, but a substantial snow pack remains across North Dakota. Hunters have...

Snow Goose Migration Update – March 24, 2013

The snow goose migration is about all but wrapped up across Illinois and Missouri, but hunting remains great in areas of South Dakota and Nebraska. Thick snow pack has locked the birds into these locations and they should continue to stage in these areas for the coming week. There have been a few straggler groups of snow geese reported across west-central Illinois and central Missouri. A few hunters are still hunting and are shooting a birds, but not seeing...

Video: Scouting Leads to Successful Snow Goose Hunting

Snow Goose Hunting Video In snow goose hunting, scouting is very important. Couple it with being hidden and a little bit of luck and you have a recipe for success. We found a large concentration of snow geese using three different roost holes and traveling just a few miles to feed. We decided upon a field that had 10,000+ snow geese feeding in it. This barely field was located between the roosts and other feeding fields. We had the...

Snow Goose Migration Update – March 16, 2013

After a few days of above normal temperatures over the past week, the central part of the US looks to settle back into a below normal pattern. The snow goose migration has pushed further north over the course of the last 7 days, but they’ve ran into a wall of snow that could take some time to melt away and allow them to continue north. Warm weather late last week and weekend spurred a large migration of snow geese...

Video: Concealment for Duck and Goose Hunting

Duck and Goose Hunting Video For successful Canada, snow goose and duck hunting, hunters must be hidden. It doesn’t matter how many ducks or geese are using a field or pond, concealment for duck and goose hunting is one of the most important factors for success. This week, we take a look at a couple hunts with different outcomes. The first, a snow goose hunt, was from a barley field in central Canada. Thousands of snow geese were using...

Snow Goose Migration Update – March 8, 2013

Spring is about to finally show itself and the snow goose migration should push north in a major way over the next week. Snows are already being reported moving north in large numbers. These areas have snow now, but by the end of the weekend, the snow line will recede well to the north. Over the course of the past week, we’ve seen the bulk of the snow goose migration move from southern Missouri and Illinois into west-central Illinois...

Goose and Duck Hunting Video: Season 2 Sizzle Reel

As the duck and regular goose season begins to wind down, we wanted to share a little bit of what Fowled Reality has captured so far in this short goose and duck hunting video sizzle reel. Everyone had high hopes going into this season with record numbers of birds surveyed across the north just as last year. We learned last year that no matter how many birds there are, without cooperative weather, the season would be tough. One would...

Duck Hunting Video Teaser From North Dakota

Be sure to check out our first teaser video for the upcoming season. It was filmed in North Dakota with the guys from Muddy Dog Outdoors. We had an outstanding week of hunting in the Prairie Pothole Regions killing mallards in corn fields. Conditions went from cold and snowy to unseasonably warm and then back to snow. The birds were constantly changing their patterns and we had to stay ahead of them in order to be successful.

Waterfowl Hunting Accessories Waterfowl Gear for Organization and Transport As waterfowl hunters, one of the aspects of the hunt that we dread is setting up and tearing down. It takes a ton of time and at the end of the hunt we often throw everything in the trailer as fast as we can in order to go eat or get home. In muddy situations we are forced to strap decoy bags anywhere we can find on the ATV or carry...

Waterfowl Hunting Canada Many have the dream of waterfowl hunting Canada. Increased bag limits, limited pressure, and uneducated birds often lead to incredible hunts that create memories for a lifetime. We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to waterfowl hunt Canada just a couple weeks ago. We ventured north with plans to freelance hunt just as we predominantly do back home. The thought of not having any hunts lined up in a foreign place 25 hours from home...

Balancing Food Plots for Ducks and Family Time Food plots for ducks are vital to ducks health during the migration.  The weather and available food from what you plant play a huge role in the success or failure of your season. Waterfowl management is something we are new to here at Fowled Reality. Being predominantly freelance hunters doesn’t lend many opportunities to manipulate the land in a way beneficial for ducks. Farmers are often reluctant to let you hunt...
