A Successful Hunt
My oldest son has a YouTube channel called "The Versatile Hunter", but it is about more than just hunting. He started out offering fishing videos initially for family and friends since he, like I was, is in the Army and away from home. The early videos are a bit rough but his current ones are pretty polished. The nice thing about his videos is that they are very honest, he talks about what he did wrong as well as show you what worked. He also brings you along to learn as he is learning. He does a lot of research, corresponds with others who are more experienced, and then he tries it out.
On my blog here, I have wrote about hunting and fishing as the means to bring additional food into the house. My son's videos will add to that as he explores multiple ways of hunting for multiple species. He has been hunting and fishing with me since he was ten years old (fishing) and 13 years old (hunting). He and his wife get a good portion of their protein from fish, birds, and game. I highly recommend that you subscribe to his channel linked above and follow along as he explores new lands, new waters, and new ways to hunt and fish.
We started waterfowl hunting about three years ago and my son is much more into it than I. I enjoy it, my problem is I had severe frostbite more than once and as a result my hands and feet are overly sensitive to the cold. We hunt on lakes, canals, creeks, and rivers. We mainly hunt from kayaks, which adds a bit of difficulty, a little bit of risk (rolling into 32 degree water when it is 8 degrees is not fun, I know because it happened to me a couple weeks ago), but is so very much fun and productive.
I'll write more about how we hunt for waterfowl in another posting. Watch this video to see how relatively easy it is to prepare a duck (or any bird really) for the kitchen. We eat duck and goose regularly and it is delicious.
Thanks for reading.
