    Episode 738

    Show notes

    Six days. Louisiana teal season. A whole lot of miles, old friends, and stories worth sharing.

    Episode 739

    Show notes

    What started as a Louisiana college engineering project helped revolutionize shallow-water duck hunting. Gator-Tail founder Kyle Broussard shares how an idea born in the marsh became a game-changing business, from early prototypes and hard-earned lessons to the evolution of surface-drive motors. Along the way, we talk Louisiana teal hunting, changing marshes, duck hunting traditions, family, and even an unexpected SpaceX connection. Pure Louisiana ingenuity, grit, and duck hunting passion.

  3. EP 737. Claypool Caretaker: Feathers, Felonies and the Fine Art of Persuasion

    Episode 737

    Show notes

    A fabled Arkansas duck hole. A hard-knuckled caretaker. Outlaws, outrageous characters and enough wild stories to make you wonder how much is even legal to tell.

    Johnny Riley was larger than life--a fearless duck hunter, notorious personality and legendary caretaker of Claypool's Reservoir (EP 719. Wallace Claypool's Wild Acres). From clouds of mallards to colorful characters, questionable decisions and his own brand of backwoods justice, grandson Robert Riley--who knew him simply as Pop--brings Johnny Riley's extraordinary life and a bygone era of Arkansas duck hunting roaring back to life. Stories you couldn't make up--or even imagine--in a million years even if you tried. Pull up a chair and settle in. Y'all are going to love this one.

  4. EP 736. American Woodcock --the Louisiana Connection

    Episode 736

    Show notes

    Small, if-you-know-you-know migratory gamebird. Huge migration. And a conservation story every duck hunter will appreciate. Kean Jones and Louisiana biologist unravel the fascinating world of the elusive American woodcock--whose biology, habitat and hunting traditions reveal why healthy cover matters for woodcock, waterfowl and hunters alike. Think you really know the properties you hunt? You might never look at a patch of cover the same way again.

    Episode 734

    Show notes

    What makes a man walk away from a life calling behind the pulpit to spend his days carving duck decoys? For Colorado Waterfowler Mike Marino, the answer runs deeper than wood, paint and a passion for waterfowling. Similarly to the shaping of wood blocks, he shares how faith, family, loss and the outdoors shaped his life--and how he sees people, hunting, hard knocks and life itself. From meaningful tributes to lasting friendships, his is a passion to carve just one more.

    Episode 733

    Show notes

    California public-land duck hunting ain't for the faint of heart, but there are some that'd have it no other way. Sky Chief Waterfowl's Aaron Visger remembers Sutter and Gray Lodge days, learning ducks the hard way, the first spinning-winged decoy ever laid eyes on, and how pressure, technology and changing times transformed the game. From Brown Spoon Duck Club to Sky Chief, it's an old-school conversation about gains, losses, and whether today's public lands hunters are actually better--or just way more efficient.

    What determines "trophy"--a number, an animal, or the hunt effort? Boone and Crockett Club's Tony Schooner and Mike Opitz join Ramsey to challenge modern trophy culture, unpack Fair Chase, technology and hunting ethics, and explore why records matter far beyond bragging rights. It's a candid conversation about accomplishment, conservation, and keeping the hunt bigger than the trophy.

  11. EP 729. The Million-Acre Plantation We Created: What's Next? (2/2)

    Episode 729

    Show notes

    (Part 2/2) More than a million acres of marginal Delta cropland were retired and planted in bottomland hardwoods. Thirty years later, those trees have grown and--if we want to ensure wildlife utilization and habitat quality--the next chapter is serious hardwood management. Wildlife biologist Kevin Nelms explains how changing soils and hydrology shape the new landscape, how timber stand improvement improves wildlife habitat, timber stand improvement techniques, how putting sunlight back onto the ground benefits ducks, deer, songbirds and more. Most importantly, how do landowners, agencies and NGOs accomplish this without a viable hardwood pulp market? A must-listen episode for bottomland hardwood habitat managers and hunters, but everyone will appreciate gaining insights into taking the extraordinary conservation achievement of a million-acre hardwood plantation to the next level.

    Episode 728

    Show notes

    What happens when some of America's most important waterfowl habitats no longer have the people, equipment and resources needed to make them work? After a 33-year Service career spanning 7 states and 2 flyways, lifelong duck hunter and former refuge manager Gary Zahm (now a renowned outdoor photographer and writer) has watched the waterfowl landscape change from the ground up. From California's Grasslands and Kesterson to the larger continental habitat system, Zahm brings a lifetime of hard-earned perspective to what we've lost, what still works--and what--and who --it will take to rebuild. Because if we want abundant ducks, we need abundant habitat. And if we want abundant habitat, we're going to have to hold the fort--together!

  15. EP 725. Where's Your Raft? Maybe It Starts Here. Now.

    Episode 725

    Show notes

    Everyone wants more ducks. But when ducks disappear, where do you go looking for answers? As duck numbers continued declining around their Mississippi hunting grounds, Pete Fulgham and friends asked a pointed question: "Where's our raft?" The search for answers le to a nearby refuge struggling with fewer employees, fewer resources, less habitat--and fewer ducks than anyone could remember, let alone during its heyday. Complaining was pointless. They decided to do something. Their efforts became Yazoo Waterfowl Partners--and has since inspired a much bigger idea about hunters putting more skin in the game to restore America's national wildlife refuges. And ducks. If your truly care about ducks and the places they depend on, hear what happens when duck hunters quit waiting on someone else to fix things. Then ask yourself: Where's your raft?

    Episode 723

    Show notes

    Traditions survive because someone carries them forward by sharing stories. Dale Bordelon grew up among Louisiana marsh men, unforgettable old-timers carrying generational knowledge and stories of bygone life ways. Historian Jason Theriot spent 25 years doing likewise, exploring Louisiana's cultural heritage across Gulf Coast communities. Together, we revisit old camps, cane calls, vanished marshes, unbelievable hunts and colorful characters from a yesteryear Louisiana that few remember today. Duck hunters. Tradition bearers. Last remaining marsh voices.

    What makes an old piece of wood worth $10,000--or way more? Antique duck-call collector and broker Ryan Graves and I explore the fascinating world of collectible calls--legendary makers, rarity, provenance, craftsmanship, and the stories that create investment-grade value. But beyond price tags, we get to the people and traditions these calls represent, and how some shaped duck hunting as know it today. Because the greatest old duck calls aren't valuable because they're old--the matter because of the stories they carry.

  20. EP 720. After Twenty Years Chasing Ducks Together

    Episode 720

    Show notes

    Terry Denmon and I have shared duck blinds for 20 years, chasing birds from Louisiana to Argentina and beyond. Sitting down live at DUX, we revisited hunts that we'd relive tomorrow if time machines existed, unforgettable characters, close calls, traditions, shovelers, blue-winged, Mexican mallards and more. After a couple decades, number of ducks that hit the water. But memories of people, places, jokes, and stories keep getting better with age.
