I was invited to Geuydan Louisiana by a friend to hunt teal on his place. I said man I haven’t shot a shot gun in many years and I’d really like to Use my Longbow. He said that’s fine there’s plenty of birds! Well I emptied the quiver twice and fetched my arrows as birds kept trying to come into the decoys lol I think it was my twentieth arrow I finally connected! Now I must warn y’all I got a little excited hahahaha Here’s the video proof that I hit that teal in the air!

Awesome! That was cool. Those birds were flying fast! Would be hard enough hitting em with a gun...well for me anyways

I haven’t figured out how to make them clickable here either :( I left space so you can copy and paste in your browser bar.

Sweet. Nice shot. Looks like a great teal setup and spread.

What camera are you using and how do you have it mounted?

My hat is off to you! I have hunted teal over deeks a few times. It’s a kick in the pants and lots of frustration, but about as much fun as it gets. The Labs can’t quite figure the game out and don’t fully appreciate all the cussing and laughing. I’ll watch you video over coffee tonight when I need. Monday equalizer. I’m laughing already.

Cory your our hero. Ducks are hard enough but teal even smaller.

Sweet video! Thanks for sharing it! I’d have to get that bird mounted!

I take it those gt,s float? Always threated to go pheasant hunting with the stick bow.. sure looks like fun!

From: Stubee
Date: 21-Sep-20




Nice shot! Now that’s was some small game excitement. My first hunting was with a wooden bow a friend gave me in about 1960. I chased rabbits, ever-present pheasants and puddle ducks with that bow and though I hit a rabbit I don’t think I ever was successful on a wing shot. But oh man, what fun for an 11-12 year old kid and his beloved mongrel “Duchess”.

What are the flu-flu fletchings you’re using there, if I may ask?

Stubee, They are Spiral flu flu’s.

From: Joey Ward Date: 21-Sep-20 Sweet. Nice shot. Looks like a great teal setup and spread. What camera are you using and how do you have it mounted? I was using a Eken Action camera on a head strap Thanks

Wow sir.. Wow. I was gonna invite ya to the next 3d shoot up here but I don't know now. Frogs,snakes,flying ducks. I'm pretty good as long as there ain't many trad guys shooting..lol. Did you practice with thrown targets before the hunt?

From: Basinboy
Date: 21-Sep-20




Bustedarrow, I’d love to shoot some 3D with you! I have some discs I made years ago and I used to shoot them when someone was around to throw them up for me but hadn’t shot them in a long time

Riverwolf I hope I can get a male wood duck one day. I’d definitely get that mounted!

I don't duck hunt so i have to ask. Is it wrong to shoot a duck after it lands? Illegal? Unsportsmanlike? Is hitting the duck on the wing the main idea or it HAS to be that way?

From: Nrthernrebel05
Date: 23-Sep-20




That was awesome. Hitting a Teal On the wing is pretty darn near impossible. I was thinking maybe trying Mallards. Much bigger and a little slower.

From: Fiddler

Gueydan! Been a long time since I've heard that name! Had my first Long Island Ice Tea at a joint called the Cajun Paradise when I was playing with the Atchafalaya Basin Band back in 1978. The rest, as they say, is history!

That’s awesome! Great shooting. Congratulations!

From: D.Lewis aka tonto59

Awesome shot! Congrats!

I would think shooting a duck on the water with the trad bow would be fine, but it’s frowned upon by some to do so with a gun.

From: Yewbender

Congrats!!! Good shooting and great video!

Awesome. I've shot at flocks of geese flying over when in my tree stand but never connected.

Thanks for sharing this. It brings back a LOT of great memories I have from quite some time ago. It is so fun testing yourself on that type of target. Congratulations!!!
