The United States harvest an estimated 8-plus million ducks annually. That's a bunch--probably more than the rest of the world combined--but are we shooting too many? Is hunting-related harvests the largest form of mortality? How and when do most ducks die--and what can we do about it? Delta Waterfowl's Paul Wait explains what really drives duck deaths. How do ducks die? It's probably not what you think.    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?

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?

We're not done yet. In Part 2 of our waterfowl hot take series, we keep the fire going with more bold opinions, guide-life truths, and unfiltered talk about hunting culture. From dog drama to calling habits to what people get wrong about “the grind,” we're laying it all out.

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?

Mojo Outdoors forever changed the way we duck hunt, and Terry Denmon has been there since wing one. From a farm shop-built decoy that sparked revolution--and controversy--to the battery-operated gear many hunters won't hunt without today, Terry reflects on how Mojo became the most recognized household name in decoys, lessons learned along the way, wild ideas that never made it to production. Diving into the evolution of spinning-winged decoy magic, we discuss the most unforgettable hunts and hilarious adventures that come with pushing buttons and boundaries for 25 years, get a bold look forward at upcoming products, and gain a real sense for what makes Terry tick as both a duck hunter and human being.    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?

In part two of this two-part conversation, Chad continues the deep dive with Mark Hennelly of California Waterfowl Association, picking up where they left off with the questions every hunter has wondered. They discuss the data on drakes vs. hens, and whether restricting hen harvest actually makes a difference in breeding success. And of course, they circle back to pintails, diving even deeper into why raising the limit is about more than numbers, it's about keeping hunters in the field and building the next generation of waterfowlers. Mark connects the dots between farming, irrigation, conservation, endangered species, and something that will surprise you, and how misplaced priorities on a certain fish are costing ducks their habitat and, in some cases, their lives. If you care about the future of hunting, this is one you need to hear. And if you're not a member of California Waterfowl, now's the time—no matter where you live. Because protecting this way of life starts with showing up.

Alberta has long been a waterfowl hunter's paradise--relatively generous limits, earlier seasons, big skies and incredible species diversity. But it doesn't happen by accident. Beneath the surface is the incredibly dedicated Alberta Professional Outfitter Society (APOS). Beyond ensuring professional outfitting standards, they are moving the needle in waterfowl conservation; delicately balancing the needs of freelancers, landowners, resident and non-resident hunters; making community investments. Could something similar work in the US? There a new need-to-know hunting regulations you'll want to hear about if hunting north of the border this season, too!     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?

In part one of this two-part conversation, Chad sits down with Mark Hennelly of California Waterfowl Association—one of the most knowledgeable voices in the country when it comes to waterfowl policy, conservation, and how hunting seasons actually get made. Mark breaks down the science and strategy behind season dates, bag limits, hen restrictions, and why some states run longer seasons than others. You've probably heard that hunting has to shut down before mating season—but is that really the full story? They also dive into what makes California such a powerhouse for bird hunters..Not just ducks, but geese, turkeys, quail, and more. From extended seasons to special hunts, Mark explains why the Golden State is still one of the best in the country. Of course, they talk pintails, the kings of California, and why raising the bag limit matters more now than ever. If you've ever asked yourself, “Do bag limits actually help the population?” or “Why are we still stuck at one pintail?” you're going to want to hear this. This one's full of sharp insight, real answers, and a whole lot of passion for the birds we chase. Part two drops next—don't miss it.

This episode took a hard, surprising bend around the corner, careening headlong into one of the most interesting habitat concepts we've ever covered. Most farmers chase yield. Dr. mark McConnell helps them chase increased profits--while improving habitat for waterfowl and other wildlife. We dive deep into how landowners are using the Farm Bill, precision agricultural technology, and hard data to turn marginal acreage into waterfowl habitat without losing a cent. Whether you hunt, farm--or both--is loaded with information for finding dollars and sense in balancing habitat conservation in agricultural landscapes.    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?
