Canadian waterfowling finds itself at a pivotal moment. As more American hunters head north in search of ducks and geese, participation among Canadian residents continues to decline, raising questions about the future of the country's hunting traditions. Rob Olson, a former leader with both Delta Waterfowl and the Manitoba Wildlife Federation, was at the forefront of efforts to establish safeguards in Manitoba before hunting pressure reached a tipping point. Now, he's helping neighboring Saskatchewan navigate similar challenges as policymakers, hunters, and conservationists work to protect Canada's rich waterfowling heritage for future generations.Send us Fan MailAll Rights Reserved.

We sit down with Millie Winkleman from Delta Waterfowl and trace how she went from not growing up hunting to building a real career in the waterfowl conservation and outdoor marketing world. We get honest about what social media work actually requires, why culture and mentorship matter, and how the best hunting memories are usually about people. • Millie's path from central Arkansas to Delta Waterfowl HQ and back to Stuttgart • Learning duck hunting in college and loving it on bad days • Early outdoor retail content work and why “humbling” jobs build real skill • What a social media coordinator does beyond posting • How Delta campaigns get shaped for different platforms • The hardest parts of social media work: always on trends, shifting algorithms, constant opinions • Why simple creative can beat saturated AI style flyers • Advice on authenticity, staying teachable, and not chasing approval • Favorite hunts, North Dakota spring wetlands, and why timber feels like home • Mentorship, navigating the industry as a woman, and why Delta's university program hits home DM One Hell of Life podcast on Instagram or TikTok to enter the monthly listener drawingCall or text 850-251-8650 or visit www.floridaducks.com to book your trip, Williamson OutfittersUse code ONEHELLOFALIFEOUTDOORS for 15 percent off your order @ www.froggtoggs.comDirty Duck Coffee: use code onehellofalife15 for 15% offWant to Duck Hunt in Arkansas?

Send us Fan MailThink you've got Canadian hunting knowledge locked down? We put that confidence to work in a full trivia showdown where the answers are measured in inches, years, and hard numbers, not just campfire “I heard” stories. Lane Lewis grabs the host seat for one of our rowdier formats, with Jacob Armstrong fact checking and two teams battling for bragging rights and a pair of River's Edge Game Calls crow calls. There's a small technical hiccup early on, then we find a rhythm and the questions start landing.We bounce through Canadian hunting trivia that actually teaches you something: record class Boone and Crockett style animals, which province consistently produces top whitetail entries, and what “world record” really means when you're talking non typical mule deer. We get into the North American Super Slam conversation, including how many of those species you can hunt in Canada and why rule changes (like polar bear access) matter to the list.Then the episode widens into the stuff that shapes every season. We talk about the lead shot ban for waterfowl hunting in Canada and the timeline that moved hunters toward non toxic shot, plus what makes loads effective in the real world. Conservation comes up with Delta Waterfowl's century mark, Ducks Unlimited habitat work, and the constant tension between biology, public sentiment, and policy, highlighted by BC's 2017 grizzly bear hunting ban. We also hit a few surprising stats, like the percentage of Canadians who hunt at least one day a year, and we close on a New Brunswick black bear population question that decides the game.If you like hunting history, Canadian wildlife management, and a competitive roundtable that doesn't take itself too seriously, hit play, then subscribe, share the show with a buddy, and leave a rating and review.Check us out on Facebook  Hunts On Outfitting, or myself Ken Marr.

Nearly 50 years ago, waterfowl hunting changed forever. What started as a targeted conservation effort—requiring non-toxic shot in select areas—quickly expanded across North America and reshaped the way we hunt ducks and geese.Today, entire generations of hunters have never experienced hunting with lead shot.But the transition wasn't smooth. Early steel loads in the late 1970s and 1980s were widely criticized for poor performance and inconsistency. Since then, advancements in ammunition technology have dramatically improved effectiveness—and expanded the options available to today's hunters.So how did we get from those early days of steel… to the high-performance loads we have today? And where is waterfowl ammunition headed next?In this episode, we're joined by Dan Compton, Global Product Line Director at The Kinetic Group, representing brands like Remington, Federal, and HEVI-Shot.Dan breaks down:The history of non-toxic shot regulationsThe evolution of steel and alternative materialsWhat modern waterfowl hunters need to know about their ammo choicesIf you're serious about duck hunting, conservation, and getting the most out of your gear—this is an episode you won't want to miss.Delta Waterfowl:  https://deltawaterfowl.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DeltaFans/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deltawaterfowl/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DeltaWaterfowl/

Policy wizard, John Devney of Delta Waterfowl joins the FowlWeather Podcast for a review of financial woes of our USFWS National Wildlife Refuge system. He defined delayed infrastructure and why our refuges aren't keeping up. What can be done? Not much if you don't have funds to keep up with critical wetland infrastructure, don't have the staff necessary to properly manage duck habitat, and you don't have access to enough places to hunt.

Send us Fan MailOn this episode we talk with Aidan Flores about his role with Delta Waterfowl.

We welcome Macaulay Williams, CEO of Morningside Brands and co‑founder of Duck Club, to pull back the curtain on launching a spirits brand that marries hunting‑camp camaraderie with disciplined blending and transparent pricing. From his pivot out of law to building multiple labels, Macaulay explains how market cycles, barrel science, and brand identity shape what we pour.We dig into the mechanics that matter—extraction vs oxygenation, why 53‑gallon barrels are a sweet spot, and how rapid aging shortcuts often miss the mark. Then we taste through Duck Club's lineup: a 92 proof Kentucky‑plus‑Indiana blend at $29.99 that drinks far above its price, and the 110 proof High‑Brass at $39.99 that layers in eight‑year Kentucky character and a caramel‑rich finish without chasing heat for heat's sake. Along the way, we touch the fallen rickhouse saga, climate‑controlled warehouses, and why blending may be American whiskey's most exciting frontier right now.Culture is the throughline. Duck Club leans into the real rhythm of duck season—cold mornings, warm fires, and shared stories—and pairs it with conservation action through Ducks Unlimited and Delta Waterfowl. With country artist and die‑hard hunter Riley Green as co‑founder, the brand reaches younger drinkers without losing authenticity, using vintage‑inspired design, batch transparency, and lifestyle merch to widen the tent. If you care about flavor, value, and a brand that shows its work, this conversation will recalibrate what you expect from a $30–$40 bottle.If you enjoyed this deep dive into whiskey craft and culture, tap follow, share with a friend who loves a good pour, and leave a quick review.

Behind closed doors, lawmakers decide the future of hunting, fishing, and access to public lands.   Host Fred Bird sits down with a panel of seasoned policy experts to unpack one of the most consequential issues facing hunters and anglers today: the fight over public lands and wildlife management. This isn't surface-level debate—it's a clear-eyed look at how decisions are actually made, who influences them, and why sportsmen need to pay attention long before legislation hits the headlines.   Joined by CSF's Sr VP Taylor Schmitz, and Delta Waterfowl's Chief Policy Officer, John Devney and VP of Government Affairs, Cyrus Baird, the crew breaks down the recent public lands battle and explains the formal process that governs how federal lands are managed, from National Wildlife Refuges to multi-use landscapes critical for hunting access and fishing opportunity. Listeners will gain insight into the outsized role state legislators play in shaping land use policy, wildlife funding, and access for future generations of hunters, anglers, and outdoor families.   Fred and his guests also explore the growing importance of caucus networks—organized groups of lawmakers and advocates working behind the scenes to protect wildlife habitat, sustain public access, and keep conservation grounded in sound science. The discussion highlights the challenges facing the National Wildlife Refuge System, including declining awareness and the real consequences that come with disengaged communities.   This episode equips sportsmen with the context needed to engage intelligently, advocate effectively, and ensure America's public lands remain places where hunting, fishing, and outdoor traditions can thrive.   Get the FREE Sportsmen's Voice e-publication in your inbox every Monday: www.congressionalsportsmen.org/newsletter  Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 14 wraps up a strange but memorable duck season — heavy fog, unpredictable flights, late goose action, and gritty hunts across rice, refuge and bro-boat spots. Host reflects on highlights like the Mag-10 return, Calusa shoots, and community fundraisers. Guests Casey Stafford, Frankie Andrade, Brian Sage and Mark from Sabaya Duck Club share season takeaways, gear talk, hunt stories and plans for the off-season: youth and veterans hunts, turkey and striper outings, and upcoming Delta Waterfowl events. Sponsored by High and Dry Waders.

In this episode of Gamebird University, hosts James Callicutt and Mark McConnell sit down with Dr. Frank Rohwer, President and Chief Scientist of Delta Waterfowl, for a wide-ranging conversation about waterfowl research, management, and conservation. The trio reflects on Frank's long career—from his early academic days at LSU to leading Delta's scientific programs—and explores the questions and challenges in understanding duck behavior and habitat use.   They talk about how weather and temperature shape ducks' movements and foraging habits, sharing surprising insights about when ducks feed, move, and seek refuge across varying temperatures. The conversation delves into advances in GPS and transmitter technology that have opened new windows into waterfowl movements, as well as long-running studies of ring-necked ducks that reveal unexpected connections between southern wintering areas and western boreal breeding grounds.   Throughout the episode, the group explores new methods for assessing duck production, including the use of drones and thermal imaging to locate nests, track brood survival, and measure reproductive success. They also discuss the role of predator management in boosting duck production and the growing focus across wildlife disciplines on making conservation more cost effective. The puzzling range expansion of black-bellied whistling ducks emerges as a point of discussion, along with questions about the species' ecology and its future impacts across southern landscapes.   The conversation also touches on the role ducks, quail, and pheasants play as vital ecosystem services that benefit rural economies and wildlife heritage. At its heart, this episode captures the deep connections between hunters, researchers, and their dogs, reminding listeners why waterfowl conservation matters—not just for its ecological benefits, but for the traditions, stories, and shared passions that accompany it.

In this episode, James and Mark are joined by Matt Chouinard, Waterfowl Programs Director for Delta Waterfowl, for an in-depth discussion on current prairie wetland and grassland conditions. They explore how recent weather patterns and agricultural pressures are shaping duck nesting success across the Prairie Pothole Region.   Matt shares insights on the critical role of habitat for both nesting and brood-rearing, the value of conservation programs like CRP, and the importance of additional management strategies—including Delta's innovative Hen House program. The conversation also dives into the psychology of duck hunters, public perceptions of population trends, and the data-driven science behind conservation decisions. From habitat loss to hunter memories, this episode unpacks the complex relationships among agriculture, wetlands, waterfowl populations, and hunting success—highlighting why sustaining prairie ecosystems is essential for the future of waterfowl conservation.

Welcome to another episode of Delta Waterfowl's The Voice of the Duck Hunter. In October of 2015, Kansas City firefighters John Mesh and Larry Leggio lost their lives in the line of duty while battling an arson fire. A wall collapse claimed both men—an unimaginable loss felt deeply by their families, their fellow firefighters, and their community.John Mesh grew up in a family of eight brothers and sisters, raised with a deep respect for the outdoors and a passion for hunting and fishing. Those values shaped his life—and he was already passing them on to his four daughters.In the year following John's death, his family, friends, and fellow firefighters established the John V. Mesh Memorial Scholarship Fund to honor his life and continue the hunter recruitment efforts that meant so much to him.In this episode, I had the honor of spending time in the duck blind with Jim Mesh, John's brother, to learn more about the man behind the name—the firefighter, the duck hunter, the family man—and how his legacy continues through conservation, mentorship, and tradition.This is a story about sacrifice, purpose, and the enduring bond between the outdoors and those who cherish it.Let's welcome Jim Mesh to the podcast.Delta Waterfowl: https://deltawaterfowl.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DeltaFans/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deltawaterfowl/Twitter: https://twitter.com/DeltaWaterfowl/
