EP 607. How Ducks Die
Listen to this episode
The United States harvest an estimated 8-plus million ducks annually. That’s a bunch–probably more than the rest of the world combined–but are we shooting too many? Is hunting-related harvests the largest form of mortality? How and when do most ducks die–and what can we do about it? Delta Waterfowl’s Paul Wait explains what really drives duck deaths. How do ducks die? It’s probably not what you think.
EP 606. Snake!!!
PSA–August through October is when most snake encounters occur. Yep. Watch your step when sweeping out duck blinds and hanging deer stands. Terry Vandeventer is a herpetologist that has collected and handled snakes from all over the world for decades–published books about it–and has spent a lifetime educating the public about the much maligned creature. He and I jump into the bushes for a great conversation about these sidewinding creepy crawlies. What are your odds of being bitten–and when and where do most bites occur? What’s the best way to avoid snake bites? What’s the fatality rate? Any such thing as “a good snake”? Tune in for a deep dive into this fascinating topic. SSSSssssssss.
EP 605. The Thrill Is Gone?
Has duck hunting lost its magic–or have we just forgotten what it’s really all about? I sit down with Kyle Winterstee,. lifelong waterfowl and acclaimed outdoor writer to explore the changing soul of duck hunting. Digging into nostalgia, expectations, and the social media effect, we ask whether today’s hunters are chasing piles or meaning, and how we might rekindle the romance of hunting. Whether new or veteran hunter, why do we really go duck hunting in the first place?
EP 604. Committed to the Call
Feeling close to God while hunting or regarding the woods and waters as church are sentiments common among many hunters–but will it get us a pass at the Pearly Gates? Jason Williams grew up duck hunting in New York and is now a correctional officer– where things are much more different on the inside than on the out. In finding his own faith, he felt led to write “Committed to the Call: A 365-Day Waterfowl Hunter’s Devotional.” This conversation is raw. Honest. Uncomfortable at times–at least for me. Among other things, Jason defines what church in its biblical sense. If you’ve ever found solace while standing knee deep in the marsh and found solace, or wondered what it all meant while quietly watching the sunrise, you’ll probably appreciate it.

EP 603. 25 Years of Mojo—The Decoys That Changed Everything
Mojo Outdoors forever changed the way we duck hunt, and Terry Denmon has been there since wing one. From a farm shop-built decoy that sparked revolution–and controversy–to the battery-operated gear many hunters won’t hunt without today, Terry reflects on how Mojo became the most recognized household name in decoys, lessons learned along the way, wild ideas that never made it to production. Diving into the evolution of spinning-winged decoy magic, we discuss the most unforgettable hunts and hilarious adventures that come with pushing buttons and boundaries for 25 years, get a bold look forward at upcoming products, and gain a real sense for what makes Terry tick as both a duck hunter and human being.
EP 602. Moving the Needle in Modern-day Alberta
Alberta has long been a waterfowl hunter’s paradise–relatively generous limits, earlier seasons, big skies and incredible species diversity. But it doesn’t happen by accident. Beneath the surface is the incredibly dedicated Alberta Professional Outfitter Society (APOS). Beyond ensuring professional outfitting standards, they are moving the needle in waterfowl conservation; delicately balancing the needs of freelancers, landowners, resident and non-resident hunters; making community investments. Could something similar work in the US? There a new need-to-know hunting regulations you’ll want to hear about if hunting north of the border this season, too!
DUX: Ducks Unlimited Expo August 1-3 in Memphis
DUX isn’t just a show—it’s the beating heart of America’s waterfowl culture. David Schuessler and Logan Nevins pull back the curtain on the energy, the mission, and the moments you’ll never forget. From live-fire demos to cutting-edge gear and boots-on-the-ground conservation, this episode shows why missing DUX means missing out. See y’all there!
EP 601. Making Dollars and Sense: Profitable Wildlife Habitat in Ag Landscapes
This episode took a hard, surprising bend around the corner, careening headlong into one of the most interesting habitat concepts we’ve ever covered. Most farmers chase yield. Dr. mark McConnell helps them chase increased profits–while improving habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife. We dive deep into how landowners are using the Farm Bill, precision agricultural technology, and hard data to turn marginal acreage into waterfowl habitat without losing a cent. Whether you hunt, farm–or both–is loaded with information for finding dollars and sense in balancing habitat conservation in agricultural landscapes.
EP 600. A Taste of Argentina–Fire, Flavor and Feasts with Chef Fede
Long-time friend, Argentine Chef Fede Garcia and I explore the soul of Argentina cooking, from childhood kitchens to his famous flame-kissed feasts at the popular La Paz Argentina lodge. While digging into what makes Argentina beef sacred, why game meats deserve respect, and how open-fire aside is a way of life, he shares stories behind his new cook book, pop-up supper club, recipes for turning tough game into unforgettable meals, which Argentina meat cuts are most popular with guests, and the philosophy that guides every plate served. If you love food, hunting, and culture, pull up a chair and enjoy this feast in flavor, fire and the universal language of hospitality.
