One of the Major attractions of duck hunting is its variety; not only in the many species of ducks available but also in the many types of habitat that can be hunted. With that in mind, Grits hunts from a marsh blind with Dick Kuchera for the October season opener in South Dakota, and then travels to New York state where he guns a tree lined pond with George Bednar. In December, in Mississippi, Grits enjoys a wide variety of duck hunting situations; boat blinds on the Mississippi River with Jimmy Presswood; rice fields with Doug Mauldin; flooded bean fields with Catfish Flautt; plus pop-up shooting from mummy boats with Fred Fortier. Along the way, Grits provides shooting tips and discusses shotguns, gauges, chokes, shot size, decoy placement, and types of duck calls. In addition, 3 time Mississippi State duck calling champion, Jerry Brocato, demonstrates his techniques for the hail call, comeback call, feeding call, and lonesome hen call, and tells when to use each.

GRITS GRESHAM was a Field Host for ABC’s “The American Sportsman” television series for 13 years. Now, he is the host of The Grits Gresham Bird Hunting Series of Videos. Filming for this highly instructional series took place in the field, during actual hunts, so that you can see how the instruction is successfully implemented.
