Midwest Flyways Uncensored

This week we recap the absolute insanity in the NBA playoffs including why all the higher ranked home teams lost their opening series games. We talk the Knicks handling the reigning champs in Boston going up 2-0 in that series and also pay respects to the crazy basketball games happening in Cleveland where the Pacers handled business going up big on the Cavs despite their insane regular season. Special topic: maybe Maradona could still be alive after all? There's currently a trial happening in Argentina that will shed some light on what actually happened.

This week we wanted to answer a common listener question: when you're just starting out, how do you ID birds in the air especially in low light situations? We discuss and consider all of the different things you can see and hear that will give you an indication of what birds are about to drop into the decoys. When you first start out all of the little things aren't quite as obvious. With more time in the field, you start to notice little things and patterns that help you over time.

This week on Ten Minute Tuesday, we talk about stale birds and how to put yourself in the best position to be successful. Ducks and geese can get to a point in the year where they've kind of seen what you've been doing and are acting accordingly. These birds won't commit, won't come out to play, and won't seem to do what you want them to do no matter the day. There's no perfect method here, so we discuss our thoughts on how to stand out from the rest and give yourself a chance at fooling stale birds.

It's Ten Minute Tuesday and this week we're talking about how we approach calling on each hunt depending on where you're going to be hunting. Duck calling in a field vs on the water and goose calling in a field vs on the water. We go through when we want to call, how loud or quiet and what notes we like to use best in each situation. This was a listener question sent in to us and you can send one in too! Hit us up on Instagram or send an email to midwestflyways@gmail.com  Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!

This week Cal and Joey are joined by Matt Flummerfelt. Matt has hunted different places with Cal and Joey and is a serious goose hunter back home in Iowa. We talk with Matt about when the best time is to go hunt vs. scout especially when it's a snow day! Snow and weather can change birds and how they pattern and feed. When you see snow on the forecast, maybe it's time to pack up the truck and go sit in a field! We finish up with a day what segment back in studio.

This week we're back home in studio to talk about the hunting we've been doing around the country. Joey and Carter went to Montana to hunt mallards on the river and then we all met up for a few days with our buddy Logan in Arkansas. We chat about our different hunting scenarios and experiences as well as review the Minnesota season. We also get into a few recent topics including the resurgence of bird flu, and have a discussion on domestic mallards taking over populations of wild birds. We wrap things up with a Say What segment.

Merry Christmas to all of our listeners! With all this new ice and snow in Minnesota, we wanted to do a quick Ten Minute Tuesday on some basic safety reminders for hunters that are in the thick of some late season hunting. Ice, cold water, slushy rivers and snow packed fields present some of the best hunting opportunities. With it, comes a lot more danger and the need for a sharpened awareness. We highlight a few pieces of this and hope our listeners will be smart while closing out the year! Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!   New Waterfowl Film out now!

Cal and Joey sit down with Rod Haydel of Haydel's Game Calls to discuss a bunch of different topics. We talk about how Haydel's got their start with Rod's father and now what Rod and his family have built in terms of a great company and waterfowl legacy. Rod tells us how many DR-85's he thinks have been sold and how many people are still using that call religiously to this day. If you haven't ever seen or blown one of these calls, you should. More people have started on this call than any other. We also hear about the first deer grunt and how Haydel's really transformed from just making duck calls into what they produce today.
