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?

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.   Learn More--Committed to the Call: A 365-Day Waterfowl Hunter's Devotional   Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com HuntProof Premium Waterfowl App Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 Sitka Gear SoundGear Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?

Unearthing among my grandfather's belongings a small folder of brittle mimeographed budgets dated throughout the 1940s and succinctly entitled "Goose Camp" opened a window into stories I grew up hearing around the supper table, and shed light onto an almost forgotten chapter of American waterfowling history. Details were sparse but extremely telling. To help bring those pages to life, I met with Bill Johnson at the Mississippi Wildlife Heritage Museum where together we traced the rise and abrupt disappearance of the Mississippi Delta goose camps in the late 1950s. If you've ever wondered about Deep South Canada goose hunting culture--or what those WW2-era goose hunters were really like--you'll appreciate this special, hit-close-home episode.   Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com HuntProof Premium Waterfowl App Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 Sitka Gear Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?

Britt Longoria hunts across 6 continents—but, as she explains, no longer collects taxidermied trophies—holds a prestigious SCI Diana Award, is working on a Ph.D., and chairs a foundation committed to safeguarding wild ecosystems.

She describes formative hunts in Maine and South Africa, dealing with global backlash, and explains why storytelling—not shouting—might be the most powerful weapon in conservation.

Rockstar turned duck whisperer, Steve Farris shredded stages with 1980s American rock band Mr. Mister---known for their top-charting hits "Kyrie" and "Broken Wings"---jammed with Kiss, Madonna, Whitesnake, Tina Turner and others while never losing his duck-hunter-from-Nebraska identity. He then hung it all up to chase greenheads, develop superior habitat, and mount trophies. Literally. How'd a young Nebraska duck hunter become a rock star? Is the rock star life all it's cracked up to be? When did he know it was it time to step off and why'd he return home to develop some of the best mallard duck holes in the US? Farris absolutely shreds today's episode, offering insights into both the rock star life and the art of consistently putting mallards over the decoys.   Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns BOSS Shotshells Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com HuntProof Premium Waterfowl App Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 Sitka Gear Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?

"Shut up and show up," says Ich Stewart in explaining his old school approach to taking ownership in Arkansas' fabled public land hunting resource. Starting way back in the days his mentors lived off the land but were thankful, we then race headlong through pitch black woods, our light beam bouncing on hot topics---unruly crowds, unprecedented disturbances, embarrassing fist fights, kill culture versus "owning the ducks", finding quietness in the madness, modern versus old school ethos, mentorship---finally arriving to an emerging grassroots movement called The Public Timber Project (@thepublictimberproject) that's taking personal ownership---a sorta skin-in-the-game vested interest---in Arkansas public lands. Don't like where Arkansas public land duck hunting is today? Do something. Take ownership.

He shares some really great memories of his dad and uncle, past times, JB Custom Calls happenings--like where in the heck is the top-secret spoonie call--origins of the "besieged by idiots" saying and more.

Today's special topic cuts deeper than science or partisan politics---it defends North American duck hunting's essential back bone, wetland health and abundance, continued public land access, and our legacy to future duck hunting generations. Right now, powerful forces are dismantling the foundations of North America's greatest success story--waterfowl hunting as you've known it your entire life. Most have scarcely even noticed. Decades of data and research, the programs and staff that keep ducks overhead and seasons open--all are all on the chopping block. If you've ever watched sunrise from the duck blind, heard thundering wings overhead, or taught your children the meaning of this cherished tradition--this fight belongs to you. Me. All waterfowlers. Silence is complicity. Read the links below. And act now. This is your chance to make a real difference.
