Carson Odegard sits down with Jeff Smith to break down December's numbers across California Waterfowl properties—what got better, what got buried under water, and how long tule fog and rolling storms shifted bird behavior. From Staten Island's goose grind to surprise surges at Potrero Hills and Goose Lake, this is your clear, no-spin field report.By the numbers (December):Staten Island — 3.44 birds/hunter in Dec; season avg 4.3 (leaders: Aleutians, specks)Potrero Hills (Suisun) — 3.4 (up from 1.3 in Nov); spoons, GWT, with wigeon coming onGoose Lake (Tulare Basin) — 3.35; road-closure cancellations, but big success when open (spoons, ring-necks)Grizzly Ranch (Suisun) — 2.24; steady two-bird days (GWT, spoonies)Quimby Island (Delta) — 2.16; mallards + wigeon; slight dip from NovButte Creek Island Ranch (Butte Sink) — 1.83; GWT + ring-necksDenverton (Suisun) — 1.8; spoonies + GWTSanborn Slough (Butte Sink) — 1.74; wigeon + ring-necks; flood closures and deep waterPope Ranch (Dixon) — 0.71 for ducks (mallards); still a strong wild pheasant optionWhat shaped the hunt:Flooding & safety — county road closures and moving water shut some days down; expect a lag before birds re-concentrate after high water.Prolonged tule fog — helped rice country, hurt island visibility/pull at times.Migration pops — late-month pushes showed up in the Grasslands and south valley units.January outlook: Watch for wigeon and pintail to build in Suisun, mallard trickles where floodwaters recede, and more mixed bags at Staten as weather swings churn the Delta.
Jeffery Smith argues that faithful preaching is more than interpretive fidelity to the text of Scripture and an engaging delivery. It encapsulates a preacher's heart and soul and involves nothing less than a rigorous regimen of proclamation, pleading, and prayer.

Merry Christmas! This episode drops right before the holiday—here's to safe hunts, full straps, and time with your crew and family.Jeff Smith and Carson Odegard dig into listener questions—from “what time do you pack it in?” to the weather that really moves birds, why consistency (choke + ammo) beats tinkering, and how to tweak spreads when wind, fog, or pressure make ducks stubborn. They also hit species quirks (why wood ducks and late-season mallards can be maddening, and why specks act different in Suisun), plus the do's/don'ts of hiding in tules vs. under trees. Want your question on the show? Drop it via the form at calwaterfowl.org → Save It for the Blind.Episode highlightsWhen to call it — why most hunts wrap by about 10:30 and how to read a dead morning versus a late biteBest weather — clear, cold, and a 5–12 mph breeze is better than big gale days; avoid full-moon lullsCalling smarter — practice outside (15 min/day), read wing tips and butts, and remember that whistle work wins in CaliforniaChokes & shells — pick one choke and one velocity… and stop switching mid-seasonHide choices — tules give 360-degree cover; trees can block shots and make ducks warySpreads that finish birds — go lighter with more motion as pressure builds; pull spinners in fog or overcast if birds hang at 40Refuge tactics — scout the pond line, move early if birds are setting elsewhere, keep the sun at your back, and leave a landing hole

Jeff Smith and Carson Odegard sit down with Alex Keil, president of DEMERBOX, to unpack how a garage-built, Pelican-case speaker turned into a made-in-USA workhorse for hunters and outdoor crews. From Zac Brown's early buy-in to today's South Florida build shop, Alex walks through durability tests (yes, trucks and shotguns), smart features like USB-C/A charging, true ported sound with a waterproof plug, 40-hour battery life, and why the team still repairs your unit years down the road.What you'll learnOrigin story, built for abuse — TV-set audio tech meets Pelican cases; Zac Brown helps scale; U.S. assembly keeps it tough and fixable.Real features that matter — ported audio you can plug for water, floats, doubles as a dry box, and charges your phone inside the case.Specs & models — DV2 (dual-driver stereo) vs. the smaller 1150 case; pair up to six; $249 and $399 price points.Beat-it-up testing — ladder drops, truck tires, even 12-gauge at 70 yards—and it keeps playing.Use cases — from camp music to call box duty, first-aid storage to poolside sound; why outdoor folks are the natural audience.What's next — cleaner one-button pairing, accessories, and more rugged gear on the roadmap.If you want a speaker that survives the hunt truck, keeps your phone alive, and still thumps at 100%, this episode breaks down the kit—and the culture—that make DEMERBOX a legit piece of field gear.
Jeff Smith and Carson Odegard sit down with Mark Regalbuto, CEO of MIGRA Ammunition, for a straight-shooting talk on California waterfowling and the nuts and bolts of building precision shotshells. They cover why California is richer duck country than most folks realize—ocean to marsh to rice—and how public-land access shapes the hunt. They also dig into navigating California ammo regulations, COVID-era growth, sustainability trends like biodegradable components, and where MIGRA sees innovation and partnerships heading next.What you'll hearCalifornia, underrated and accessible — from salt to rice, there's “a little bit of everything” on public ground.Regulatory reality — the extra hoops to sell and distribute ammo in-state, and why folks hope those rules don't go national.Scaling through the surge — how COVID demand impacted MIGRA's operations.Greener components — where biodegradable wads/cases are now and what could make them mainstream.Roadmap & relationships — waterfowl loads, crossover ideas, and how a boutique brand partners in a crowded market.CWA partnership — closing thanks and a welcome to MIGRA as a new corporate supporter of California Waterfowl.
John Ashton and Top 100 teacher Jeff Smith reflect on their post-Thanksgiving weekend, discussing the return to golf after the holiday festivities. They reminisce about the beloved "Skins Game," a televised match play golf competition that featured nine holes on Thursday and Friday, where players competed for substantial prize money while being themselves on camera. The hosts pay tribute to Fuzzy Zoeller, the legendary golfer who recently passed away, sharing memorable stories about his infectious humor and charismatic personality. They recall watching Zoeller play tournament golf with genuine enjoyment and spontaneity, including a charming anecdote about fishing at a North Carolina golf course, highlighting how Zoeller brought joy and levity to the game. The speakers reminisce about Fuzzy Zoeller's charismatic personality and his memorable golf course at Covered Bridge, where he hosted the Wolf Challenge tournament. They share anecdotes about Fuzzy's generous nature, including a story where he bought drinks for strangers at his course. The conversation highlights celebrity appearances at the Wolf Challenge, such as Alice Cooper, and a memorable encounter where the speakers transported Greg Norman in a jitney from Indianapolis to the event, during which they witnessed Norman's remarkable tolerance for American beer while remaining completely composed. John and Jeff, hosts of a golf podcast, discuss how Fuzzy Zoeller's comments were taken out of context by media when they were actually jokes that Tiger Woods understood and appreciated. The hosts reflect on their twelve-year podcast journey, which started as a way to make golf tax-deductible after John left radio. They humorously discuss how they've managed to turn their passion for golf into a sustainable venture, joking about potentially becoming "vintage" themselves soon and playfully ribbing each other about their setup differences and physical challenges that come with age. The speakers discuss the rise of back injuries among young professional golfers, using Justin Thomas's recent surgery as an example. They explore whether modern teaching methods, increased athleticism, or more violent swing techniques contribute to these injuries. A golf instructor notes that contemporary players generate swings with greater speed and force than previous generations, combined with higher playing frequency. The conversation raises questions about whether golf instruction bears responsibility for developing safer techniques, and whether the modern athletic approach to golf—where players condition themselves like NFL athletes—might actually be causing more harm through excessive stress on the body. The speakers discuss how modern golf has evolved dramatically, with equipment improvements and athlete development pushing players to achieve unprecedented distances, now exceeding 300 yards as standard. Jeff Smith and John Ashton explore whether the intense physical demands of contemporary golf are causing preventable injuries, comparing the sport to other athletic pursuits. They debate whether golfers are damaging their bodies by performing movements at speeds and frequencies their bodies aren't designed for, contrasting today's explosive athletes with smoother, more fluid swingers like Ernie Els and Fred Couples. The conversation highlights how professional golfers increasingly sacrifice their physical health for competitive success, a trend mirroring injury patterns seen in other sports. The speakers discuss whether the graceful, fluid swings of longer hitters like Payne Stewart and Phil Mickelson are safer than the aggressive, fast swings of younger players like Justin Thomas and Will Zalatoris. They speculate that faster swings may increase injury risk, particularly back injuries, and wonder if younger players are making calculated sacrifices, accepting potential long-term damage in exchange for short-term success and financial gain. The conversation explores how modern physical training at tour stops aims to build both strength and injury protection, with Rory McIlroy exemplifying this philosophy—athletes knowingly push their bodies to dangerous limits to compete at the highest level, accepting injury as an inevitable cost of dominance. The speakers discuss a situation where someone made a straightforward decision to prioritize their own wellbeing and longevity in their career. Rather than viewing this as an excuse, they recognize it as a practical and sensible choice. The speakers appreciate this person's unwillingness to sacrifice their own interests, viewing it as a mature and reasonable approach to protecting their professional future.

On July 9, 2006, at Club Crystal in Waterloo, IA, an individual later identified as Tonye Jackson was shot multiple times and killed on the property. The shooting occurred during active nightclub hours, with multiple patrons present at the scene. Three gunshots along with Jeff Smith’s nickname were audible on a recorded Black Hawk County Jail phone call contemporaneous with the incident. After a trial lacking physical evidence tying Jeff to the crime and marked by timeline manipulation, unreliable witness statements, and significant nondisclosure of exculpatory evidence, a Black Hawk County jury found Jeff Smith guilty of First-Degree Murder and sentenced him to life in prison without parole.

A problem only stays a problem if there's no willingness to put a solution in place. That's the case with Wisconsin's convoluted school funding system. Last week, we visited with two members of a 2017 Blue Ribbon Commission charged with simplifying the way we pay for schools. Those solutions are still waiting for some political willpower — or maybe just some changes to who's in charge in the Legislature. We'll talk to Sen. Jeff Smith and Rep. Christian Phelps about how it's not too late to make things better for taxpayers, educators, and kids.

The mental health and substance use disorders that challenge veterans are not unusual, and they occasionally lead to homelessness. Recently in Wisconsin, funding for the Veterans Housing and Recovery Program (VHRP) was removed from the two-year state budget, and, as a result, two transitional homes for veterans were closed. Wisconsin State Senator Jeff Smith has introduced legislation to reopen — and keep open — those homes. He discusses those efforts, political obstacles, and other issues around mental health and substance use disorders that veterans are facing. Senator Jeff Smith (D-Brunswick) currently serves as the 31st Senate District State Senator and is the Senate Democratic Assistant Leader. He also serves as the Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Health. Senator Smith can be reached at Senator Jeff Smith | Senate District 31. The State of Wisconsin's Dose of Reality campaign is at Dose of Reality: Opioids in Wisconsin.

Jeff Smith checks in with three boots-on-the-ground voices to break down how California's opener really went—and what to expect as November weather finally shows up. Guests include Garrett Spann (Manager, Yolo Wildlife Area), Derek Seweck (Wildlife Habitat Manager, Upper Butte Basin), and Orlando Rocha (Environmental Scientist, Grizzly Island Wildlife Area).What you'll hearOpener by the numbers — solid starts in spots, soft elsewhere; teal and wigeon led many straps while mallards were patchy.Why it felt “quiet” — late rice harvest, limited flood-up in key zones, and a streak of 80°+ bluebird days that scattered birds.Flood-up status & timing — which units are online now, what's filling next, and how that will shift day-to-day bird use.Local patterns — Yolo's steady trickle of new water holding birds, Upper Butte's wood-duck swing not materializing (yet), and Grizzly Island's east vs. west marsh differences.Youth & access intel — how the Howard Slough youth area and nearby rice options are structured (free roam vs. blinds), plus what to expect on busy Saturdays.Pintail reality check — 3-bird limit is on the books, but most hunters haven't hit it… yet; watch for classic December–January rice flights.Hunt smarter in the lull — read wind and pressure, pivot units as new water comes up, and be ready when the first real fronts push fresh birds.If you're lining up your next reservation or boat-in plan, this roundtable gives you a clear read on conditions, timing, and the moves that'll matter when the weather finally flips.

We recount the unexpected hailstorms and flooding in Arizona, painting a vivid picture of the unusual weather conditions that recently swept through the region. Amidst this backdrop, I took the opportunity to savor a quiet day on the golf course, capturing videos and appreciating the scenic beauty before the onset of winter. We then shift our focus to the Ryder Cup, highlighting the challenges faced by even the world's best golfers in alternate shot formats. The discussion emphasizes the psychological pressures of playing not just for oneself, but also for a partner and country.

We reminisce about Michael Michaelides, who worked there and his New York grit. The discussion turns to the notorious behavior of some New York fans during the Ryder Cup, reflecting on the negative stereotypes of the "ugly American" and sharing personal anecdotes from living in New York. We explore the tension between being a sports fan and maintaining respect, especially when witnessing the unprecedented face-off between the world's top two golfers. As someone who spent my teenage years in New York City, I share insights into the sometimes brusque nature of New Yorkers, illustrating the contrast with an amusing story about our move from Boston. (16:34) Golf Techniques This chapter offers a delightful blend of sports commentary and musical nostalgia. We share our appreciation for the professionalism of broadcasters Terry Gannon and Dan Hicks, while also distinguishing Dan Hicks from the country singer of the same name, known for his hit "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away." Our discussion then transitions to the golf world, focusing on Brad Faxon's insightful commentary and the notable absence of Keegan Bradley from a major tournament despite being the 13th ranked player globally. We speculate on the challenges and pressures that might have influenced his decision not to play, and reflect on the relentless nature of armchair critics.

(00:00) Golf Scoring Techniques and Predictability This chapter focuses on the art of scoring in golf, moving beyond the usual emphasis on distance and accuracy to hone in on short game techniques. We explore the intricacies of putting and how crucial it is to match your body alignment to the slopes of the course, ensuring stability and precision. Jeff Smith shares his approach to teaching a short game class, highlighting the importance of understanding and adjusting to different lies and slopes for better performance. We also discuss techniques like the "firm handed scrape" or bump and run, emphasizing a stable base and proper club length to enhance shot predictability. By mastering these skills, golfers can significantly improve their ability to get up and down, ultimately enhancing their overall scoring on the course. (13:20) Balanced Approach to Golf Scoring This chapter focuses on the nuances of executing a firm-handed scrape in golf. We explore the balance between keeping wrists firm without locking them entirely, which can create a robotic and tension-filled motion. Emphasizing the importance of maintaining a natural wrist movement, we discuss how the firm-handed scrape is neither overly loose nor stiff, embodying a "Goldilocks" balance of control and flexibility. We liken the technique to familiar motions, such as shaking hands or throwing a ball, to highlight the importance of touch and feel. The conversation stresses that golf swings are not a binary choice between extremes but rather a harmonious blend of controlled motion. Additionally, we address the importance of stability and balance in setting up a shot, challenging the common misconceptions that lead to poor execution. (31:08) Improving Golf Play and Scoring This chapter explores key techniques to improve your golf game, particularly when it comes to hitting out of sand traps and mastering putting. We start by addressing the common mistake of hitting too far behind the golf ball in the sand, leading to ineffective shots. We emphasize the importance of understanding the correct entry point in the sand to ensure the club gets beneath the ball, allowing the sand to propel the ball upward effectively. Moving on to putting, we highlight that factors beyond stroke technique significantly impact your performance. We focus on the importance of speed control and positioning, noting that many golfers mistakenly attribute missed putts to stroke errors. By understanding these crucial aspects, you can enhance your overall performance and lower your score on the course. (35:49) Advanced Putting Techniques and Green Reading This chapter explores the intricacies of mastering putting in golf by focusing on speed control, distance, and green reading. We challenge the common notion of always putting into a hole, suggesting that practicing putts to the fringe can build confidence in distance control without the negative feedback of missing. The importance of practicing putts from various distances is highlighted, as is the benefit of maintaining consistency in stroke, even if it means hitting the ball with the toe of the putter. Additionally, we emphasize the significance of accurate green reading by keeping your head level to the horizon and focusing only on the ground between the ball and the hole. We address misconceptions like relying on landscape features, such as mountains or creeks, to determine break direction, urging listeners to rely on visual assessments and to consider doubling the perceived break to account for visual inaccuracies. (43:08) Improving Golf Scoring Techniques This chapter focuses on improving your golf game by challenging preconceived notions about reading greens. We explore how many golfers resist new techniques, even when their current methods aren't effective. By embracing innovative strategies, like those taught in Aimpoint classes, golfers can enhance their ability to read greens and ultimately lower their scores. Encouragement is given to seek out additional resources, such as the "Green Illiterate" episode, to further refine skills. Emphasizing the importance of staying open to learning and the benefits it can bring, we invite listeners to revisit past episodes for valuable insights and techniques to elevate their golf game.
