| 5/4/26 |  EP 685. Father-Son Mexico Gould's Turkey Hunt | Fresh back from an epic Gould's turkey hunt with oldest son, Forrest--and no idea where he got the turkey hunting fever, not from his Dad, that's for sure--and we recount our time together high in the Sierra Madres, one of the most beautiful parts of Mexico encountered. We talk about the people, food, environment, those huge Gould's turkeys, of course, and Forrest teaches ol' Dad a couple things about a proper turkey hunting mindset. Am still not a turkey hunter--ain't teaching this old duck dog new tricks anytime soon--but it was a heckuva father-son adventure regardless. (Note--we're not booking this Gould's turkey hunt, but am happy to put folks in direct contact with outfitter.)

| 4/27/26 | EP 683. Cut 'Em on the First Pass | Meet John Jones--a die-hard Louisiana public land duck hunter who gets after them full-throttle. Or did. A few years ago, while hunting solo in the legendary Shoveler Shack--a 20-foot-high-in-a-cypress-tree blind built for all-day grinds--John suffered a massive stroke. And miraculously lived to tell about it. But there's more to the story. You have to hear it to believe it. It's big boy talk--the kind that sticks with you next time you're alone with your thoughts in the dark, waiting on daylight to creep silently into existence.

| 4/23/26 | EP 682. Waterfowl Habitat Management: Stop Managing for Dirt | Most folks think they're managing for ducks. Kevin Nelms says: maybe they're not. Disking too early, spraying the wrong plants, chasing "clean fields"--it all adds up to less duck food. In this 11th installment of an ongoing Waterfowl Habitat Management series (see links below), Nelms breaks down what actually matters: timing, plant ecology, and understanding the system instead of fighting it. Cutting straight to the point, other topics include why broadleaf plants matter, how herbicides get misused, why to read labels, water pH, how water management mistakes undo everything, costly mistakes, sanctuary versus habitat, pressure over food, and much more. Bottom line: manage for ducks, not dirt. ---------- Related Links: Wetland-Management-for-Waterfowl 2001.pdf Managing Moist-Soil Impoundments (YouTube) ---------- Other Need-to-Hear Waterfowl Habitat Management Episodes in this ongoing series: EP 125.

| 4/20/26 | EP 681. A Black Duck Revival | Jonathan Wilkins was introduced to hunting while in college--and makes a compelling case for the advantages of starting later rather than earlier. From waterfowl to turkeys, alligators to black bears, church-turned-Arkansas-camphouse to multi-state roadtrips, his approach to hunting--and life--is creative, honest, unfiltered.

| 4/16/26 | EP 680. The Real Costs of Pulling the Trigger | Hearing loss might be the most ignored problem in waterfowl hunting--because you don't notice until it's too late. But a single shot or three aint that bad, huh? Dr. Grace Sturdivant of OtoPro grew up around the same guns and traditions most of us did. Now as an audiologist, she seeing firsthand what unprotected shooting actually does. She explains how damage happens each time you pull the trigger, why most hunters are already affected, why most hunters are unprotected, all available options--to include in-ear foam plugs--and how to choose the right gear for real-world hunting situations. If you hunt anything, this episode's worth hearing. Pun intended.

| 4/13/26 | EP 679. Looking Past the Trees in Ark-La-Miss Delta | Millions of low-lying acres within the Arkansas-Louisiana-Mississippi Delta have been cleared, farmed, and reforested--all within a couple generations. Most happened within my lifetime, truth be told. Retired forester Mike Oliver and I met at ground zero back in the day. He joins me to reflect on the intent behind large-scale reforestation efforts, the programs and partners that delivered it, and to explore what these acres have provided over time--across wildlife, landscape, and conservation goals. It's a conversation focused on perspective, outcomes, and the opportunities ahead--one that has me wondering whether these landscape conversions may have influenced waterfowl use in parts of the Delta and, if so, what, if anything, can be done about it.

| 4/9/26 | EP 678. The Quiet Before the Wings in Nayarit, Mexico | Dusty roads, endless grain fields, and a quiet stretch of Pacific estuary--real Mexico, where life moves slower and the hunting hits fast. One minute it's still and shimmering with winter warmth...the next, ducks pouring suddenly into your lap; doves streaking overhead. Between flights: hand-squeezed margaritas, authentic local fare, and stories shared, friendships forged, within deep shade. Today's guest candidly unpack what makes this sleepy corner of Mexico one of the fastest-rising destinations anywhere. Listen now, sí? | — | ||||||
| 4/6/26 | EP 677. Long Island Traditions | Located in the cradle of North America's waterfowling, the Great South Bay didn't just produce hunters. It produced traditions. Steven Jay Sanford grew up in the heart of Long Island's waterfowl hunting culture, where low-slung gunning boats, hand-carved decoys and words like "shovin' oar" still mean something. Carrying forward a way of life shaped by tide, wind, and the salty men that worked--and hunted--these fabled waters, Sanford shares hard-earned lessons, the old school knowledge that built it all, and what it means to really belong to a place. Listen now. It's as much about heritage as hunting to Sanford. maybe more.

| 4/2/26 | EP 676. Mazatlan Duck Hunting in a Mexican Minute | In Mexico, a minute isn't 60 seconds. It's a mindset. Especially during the Mazatlan "Honeymoon Duck Hunt." Sitting down around a lively swimming pool with happy hunters and smiling wives, we talk about their experiences between rounds of salted-rim margaritas, ice cold cervezas, various chips and dips--fantastic shooting, better company, and a pace of life that feels a whole lot different than home. Things move slower here, except for the teal. Meals last longer. Stories stretch out. The waves lap the beach endlessly, and it takes forever for the sun to sink beneath the horizon. And somewhere between it all, you begin to realize that, besides the unbelievable duck hunting, that's the whole point. Honest, in-the-moment candid conversations about hunting out of home-sweet-resort-home-away-from-home Mazatlan--what surprised them, what stuck with them, and why that "Mexican minute" might just be the best part pf the trip.

| 3/30/26 | EP 675. Create The X | Most duck hunters chase birds. Justin Reif decoded to attract them with habitat.

So he built one. Create the X App. This conversation ain't about app technology either.

| 3/19/26 | EP 672. Keeping the Peace Within | Law enforcement officers and first responders run towards the worse day in someone else's life. Most of us only see the flashing lights. We don't see what they carry home. Veteran officer Clint Hatch pulls back the curtain of the realities of policing --the calls you can't forget, the pressure first responders quietly carry, the breaking point and the moment faith becomes more than background noise. From the front lines to the quiet battles at home, Clint shares the story behind his book Keeping the Peace Within and how real peace is found when the uniform comes off. This conversation goes beyond headlines into the human costs of service--and the hope found on the other side. ********** READ -- Keeping the Peace Within (available on Amazon) https://www.amazon.com/Keeping-Peace-Within-Following-Responder/dp/B0GGQYKTKG ********** 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 Create the X Habitat Management App Ducks Unlimited Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com Migra Ammunitions onX Maps Use code GetDucks25 to save 25% Sitka Gear SoundGear Use code GetDucks20 to save 25% Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com Like what you heard?

We talk about how scientists investigate waterfowl die-offs, what H5N1 means for wild ducks and geese, how influenza spreads among waterfowl and flyways, and the real risks to hunters and our beloved retrievers.

In today's conversation, she shares the discipline behind spear hunting--and how she got started hunting so close she can literally reach out and touch critters--the criticism that comes with it, and the conviction that keeps her moving forward. What begins as a chance encounter in an Newark airport--with me walking around a baggage carousel belt in hand while looking for an anti-hunter--unfolds into a story about purpose, resilience, close-encounter hunting, and the unexpected ways life is shaped.

| 3/5/26 | EP 668. Remembering the REAL Alamo | March 5, 1836, Night is falling. Inside the Alamo, fewer than 200 men wait behind adobe walls. They're surrounded by thousands of enemy forces. What were they thinking? What did it sound like in those final hours? Andrew Minter is one of the most compelling tour guides I've ever met--a man who doesn't just recite history, he walks you into it. Stripping away the Hollywood veneer, we stand in front of of the famous church facade, talk about what visitors--and John Wayne fans--completely misunderstand. From the siege to the final assault on March 6, we follow the story from inside the walls--who Travis, Bowie and Crockett really were, how Santa Anna saw the battle, how nearly every US state was involved, and whether there was ever really any chance for survival. When the smoke finally clears, we see how "Remember the Alamo" became more than a slogan and why the 190-year-old fight still matters today--because history isn't just something that happens. It shapes who we are. Especially the real Alamo.

Some says it's flooded corn further north of them. Others say there's other death-by-a-thousand-cut reasons. And since it's sometimes hard--and exhausting-- to make sense of my-way-or-the-highway arguing online, why not let listeners hear varied perspectives? Decide for themselves. Everyone was invited.

Kennedy's letter with some deep-dive research; Hunter Lemoine, a Louisiana duck hunter that wants to improve duck hunting in his home state and is doing something about it; Dr. Bradley Cohen, a waterfowl research scientist that knows a thing or 3 about migratory habits and corn's local influence; Bill Cooksey, a former National Wildlife Federation employee that worked on the Vanishing Paradise initiative; and Brad Bortner, a former chief of migratory birds that sheds light on what the proposed corn study could possibly look like from a federal agency perspective. No shouting. No arguing. Just fellow duck hunters sharing their in-the-know insights. ********** Read Outdoor Life Article: Has Hot Cropping Ruined Duck Hunting?

| 2/16/26 | EP 662. Lac Calebasse, Louisiana: Birthplace Bayou Beast Calls | Lazy S-ing like a fat cottonmouth through low-lying country, Lac Calebasse's drought-induced water levels were so low during a recent duck hunt that fluted cypress butts shined like stark naked old ladies when Dale Bordelon's spotlight beams shined on them and our way to the duck blind, the prop chopping coon-tail most and churning mud the entire time. It was right here that Bayou Beast Calls originated. After dinner in his family's generations-old camp house, Dale describes the duck camp's history, past times and people, the region, ducks, calls and memories. Old school ain't so much gear. It's a mindset. An approach to duck hunting. And to living.

| 2/12/26 | EP 661. Corn Thoughts | Adding water to corn--and other hot crops--has been around awhile, but has recently caused a stir. Some say it's short-stopping ducks. Especially mallards. Others say it's among countless changes both good and bad that have redistributed waterfowl in the Mississippi flyway. At least in recent years. Tony Vandemore, Ira McCauley and Justin Martin weigh in. In no particular order we discuss hot-cropped corn, moist-soil, ethanol corn versus nesting cover, massive habitat expansions in Missouri, changes in Louisiana, secret to becoming a poster boy, why the recent firestorm, sanctuaries and refuges, mallards versus other species, benefits of adding water to corn versus corn to water, factors other than corn, putting differences aside and working together for the ducks--and more. Open, honest, friendly dialogue you're sure to appreciate. And be sure to tune in next week's multi-perspective "EP 663 Wading into the Corn Maze" ---y'all DO NOT want to miss!

| 2/9/26 | EP 660. SpeckOps to the Moon | Mid-January and the past 4 days have been a blur of parched South Texas earth, mesquite and prickly pear teeming with dirt-tank ducks--to include a couple special bands--sandhill cranes, mourning doves, white-tailed deer, good eats and good times around campfire. Wrapping up a couples-trip, SpeckOps's Luke Bledsoe and I kick back at the 501 Ranch to catch up about everything--and it's a bunch--that makes this place a true desert paradise.
