if you've listened in the past of our conversations with Drew Smith, you know we are all over the place. So much so, that we hade to make 2 episodes.  Our discussion about hunting strategies, the journey of young hunters, and the challenges of designing effective hunting gear are just the tip of the iceberg.  We share personal anecdotes, including a humorous story about Craig's dog, Maverick, who accidentally got into some cannabis, leading to a trip to the vet. The conversation emphasizes the importance of authenticity in storytelling and the camaraderie found in the hunting community. In this engaging conversation, the hosts explore a variety of themes ranging from the creative uses of AI in everyday life to the dangers of complacency in water activities. They share personal experiences, including a near-drowning incident, and discuss the viral incident at a Phillies game that highlights the impact of social media on public perception. The conversation also touches on the importance of learning from mistakes in hunting and navigating relationships and expectations. Additionally, they address the challenges of handling online criticism and the complexities of hunting. In this episode, the hosts delve into the nuances of hunting, discussing individual styles, the importance of community, and the responsibility of hunters to mentor newcomers. They explore the logistics of planning future hunts and the impact of social media on hunting culture, emphasizing the need for authenticity and connection within the hunting community.

Waterfowl hunters harvest 12–14 million ducks and 3 million geese annually in the U.S.  The process used to estimate annual waterfowl harvest has several components and relies on the cooperation and participation by State wildlife agencies, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and most importantly waterfowl hunters. Drs. Kathy Fleming and Paul Padding of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service join Dr. Mike Brasher to help explain the harvest estimation process and some of the important uses of these estimates. This is episode 1 of a 3-part series. Listen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.org

In this episode, Judy Harmon reflects on her late husband Ted Harmon's remarkable journey from Cape Cod house painter to one of the most respected decoy collectors and auctioneers in the country. Alongside sons Steve and Doug, she shares stories from Ted's early hunts in Maine, his first decoy finds, and the bold leap from the family painting business into the world of antiques and auctions. The family recounts how exposure to fine art on Cape estates sharpened Ted's collector's eye, why the best birds were stored away in safes and bank lockers, and the legendary Massachusetts discoveries—from Melvin Gardner Lawrence sleepers to barrels of Keyes Chadwick's ferried off Martha's Vineyard. They also share personal stories about family road trips, auctions, and the unforgettable “dryer story.” Listeners will come away with not only a better understanding of Ted's impact on the decoy world but also a glimpse of the Harmon family's life immersed in history, travel, and collecting.Listen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.org
