Three generations of Australian duck hunters–grandfather Ray, son Glenn, and granddaughter Kareena–describe their family’s duck hunting traditions Down Under, emphasizing why it’s important to each of them, how it has connected them to the waterfowl resource and to each other, and how they feel about its possible closure. They each share personal anti-duck hunting experiences, too! You’ll likely be surprised at how familiar Australia duck hunting is to hunting in your own back yard despite their different accents from halfway across the globe. As entertaining as it is thoughtful, this episode is a reminder of what duck hunting really means to us all.
