About this episode

Brian Paulus joins Jeff and Andy to discuss waterfowl hunting in New Jersey, sharing insights on marsh and coastal hunting challenges.

This series highlights the highs and lows of hunting public land across different regions of America — the early mornings, the pressure, the competition, and the grind that comes with earning every bird. In this episode, Jeff and Andy are joined by Brian Paulus from New Jersey to talk waterfowl hunting in the Garden State—from the marshes along the Delaware Bay to the coastal waters near Atlantic City. Brian breaks down how he splits his season between the marsh and the coast, his favorite species to target in New Jersey, and the challenges of hunting in one of the most densely populated states in the country. He also shares a gripping story of a life-threatening situation in the marsh that highlights just how unforgiving those environments can be. This series is brought to you by the great people at Chêne Gear.
