Duck hunting has come a long ways...
 

Since this video was shot. Pretty neat though. Some pretty good shooting and dog handling for 1939. Notice the "camo" lol

puts alot into perspective...lol

The evolution of logistics for duck hunters is amazing. Just think we are able to access areas we never could. We are lucky to have the duck numbers we do considering the amount of hunters along with the availability to hunt areas otherwise untouchable in 1939!!

And yes, I will be wearing a brown sports coat along with a tie opening day. Duck hunting is a genteman's sport. :grinpimp:

well said

With the advent of go-devils and surface drives we sure can go further into the marsh. Use to be you had to walk the marsh or paddle a pirouque.

For all you avid duck hunters. If you have never heard of "Pie" champagne this is a neat article.

we need to do this and take pics. Have a hunt one morning and we'll all dress up and smoke pipes it'll be awesome.

According to a co-coworker of mine ducks are color blind so what you wear don't matter. He's about half a bubble off level though.

Wear a blaze orange hat and vest and test the theory.

they see color...but they do see ultraviolet too

That would be amazing

i'm in who else is? Get a few of us together at a place and make a hunt like that.

I work for the lodge in the article. Lacassane is truly a very traditional lodge. A ton of history is there.

You don't know how many time I have watch this one and other films like it. I grew up on Avery Island and would not trade it for the world. Yea them old Mcilhenny boy sure dressed funny for hunting they still do. My dad ran there duck camp for years !!!! I grew learning how to shoot back up hunting with them and became a very good shot at a young age. Thanks for the post kinda reminds me of running around that place as a kid although I am not that old (product of the early 70's ) it is still the same as it was back then

Tell me when and where and I'll be there

I'm in!!!!

I don't own a sports coat

Yeah, but i asked a duck and he said "QuACK"....so that is what i'm wearing!

Salty "Sport Coat" Cajun Duck hunt

hell yeah let's make it happen

good will or the "gucci wheel" will have'em...looking for a twill jacket preferably...I'm down lol!!

i'm serious your blind or mine? Let's pick a date and we'll make it happen. I might even wear some plad slacks.

Have jacket, will hunt.

lol!!!!!!!!!!! Let's do it! None of us would even shoot we would be laughing so much.

I'm down like 4flats. Can do it at my place

There we go!!! Set it up gentleman.

you still got that anchorman jacket?? I still got the baby blue tux lmao.

Hanging proudly in my closet.

Hell yeah!!! Let's do it

the search is on for "gentleman's sports atire"

I got some stuff that would be perfect

X2!!!!!

this is going to be funny, papershell shot gun shells to fellas (that may be hard to find), and no camo dipped automatic shot guns either.

Crack barrel 16 gauge

I have an old crack barrel 20 ga that would be perfect for this "vintage" hunt. I'll bring the dog and whistle but have to carve and paint some dekes first.

My dad has a Winchester Model 12 12 gauge, my Uncle has my PawPaws Model 12 16 gauge.

Both guns are from that Era

I got some old hard plastic decoys

Man I got the brown corduroy sports coat with the leather patches on the elbows. Let me get in on this! lmao


I like how that guy on the video was straight clownin that pool do! lol

This is gonna be funny!!! Can ya'll imagine the looks at the store that morning when we walk in all gentlemen up, and tell them we're going duck hunting. Lol!!!!!!!!!!!

Will you guys have 'servant" pushing you around and setting out your decoys..........
I think every duck hunter should have a "hunt boy"

are you offering?

Lol

Just came across this interesting thread! Would be great to have a classic "Oak Grove" sit down dinner the night before; in dress attire. I'll see if i can possibly get my hunting partner's camp for a night...it will be a weekday night however. I could hunt 4 sports and sleep 7. Chris, I'll try to make this happen...I'll pm ya to see what we can come up with.

sounds good to me

Another way to hunt em back in the day. Anyone got an airplane?
