| 4/30/26 |  EP. 105: How To Have Your Best Waterfowl Season Yet with Brian Halbleib | On this episode of the Migration Waterfowl Podcast, your host Brian Halbleib breaks down his ideal waterfowl season blueprint—what he would do differently if he could start from scratch, knowing what he knows now. From defining what a successful season actually looks like, to structuring early, mid, and late season hunts, Brian dives into the strategies that separate a reactive season from an intentional one. He covers how to balance local hunting and travel, why off-season prep matters more than most hunters realize, and how staying organized and ready can lead to more opportunities in the field. Brian also discusses the importance of hunting conditions over calendar dates, choosing the right hunting partners, and adapting when things don’t go according to plan—because they rarely do. Whether you’re chasing more consistent success or just looking to get more out of your time in the blind, this episode will help you approach the upcoming season with purpose. ⸻ In This Episode: How to define a successful hunting season Structuring your season from early teal to late-season birds Local vs. travel hunts: what actually makes sense The importance of off-season prep Gear organization and being ready when conditions hit Why weather and conditions matter more than weekends Adapting when the season doesn’t go as planned ⸻ Support the Show: If you’re enjoying the podcast, consider supporting on Patreon.

| 4/16/26 |  EP. 103: A Father's Legacy & Planting Duck Food with Greg Croxford | On this episode of The Migration Waterfowl Podcast, I’m joined by my good friend Greg Croxford at his cabin in southern Ohio. After spending the day planting rice along a remote creek, we sit down to talk about what it really takes to build a duck spot from scratch—and the risks that come with it. Greg shares the story behind his property, originally purchased by his father, and what it meant to build the cabin together by hand using white oak logs from the land itself. Since his father’s passing, the property has taken on an even deeper meaning, and now we’re working to build something that will last for years to come. We dive into the reality of planting duck food in water we can’t control, why rice can be effective in the right conditions, and the challenges that come with trying to create a consistent duck hunting spot. From scouting and habitat to long-term strategy, this episode is all about the process—and the uncertainty—of trying to do it the right way. If everything goes right, this could turn into a great early season spot. If not… it’s all part of the journey. 🎬 Be sure to check out the full video from this trip on the Migration Waterfowl YouTube channel as part of The Migration Route series. 🔑 KEY TOPICS • Building a duck hunting spot from scratch • Planting Ozark rice for waterfowl habitat • Hunting property history and legacy • Scouting and habitat strategy • Risks of planting in uncontrolled water • Creating long-term duck hunting opportunities If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow the podcast and share it with a buddy.

Eric's dissertation focuses on mallard genetics and artificial nesting structures. Hybridization rates in mallards are increasing, impacting their behavior and ecology. High hybridization rates can lead to negative ecological effects in mallards. Management strategies are needed to address hybridization in mallard populations. Understanding ecology enhances hunting success and conservation efforts. Moist soil units are critical habitats for ducks throughout the year. Hunting pressure significantly affects duck behavior and distribution. Identifying feeding and loafing areas is essential for successful hunting. Public land management and flooded corn practices are controversial but necessary for habitat. Volunteers play a crucial role in conservation and habitat management. Ecological understanding is vital for effective wildlife management. Challenges in waterfowl management include funding and habitat loss. Social media can both help and hinder wildlife management efforts. Active participation in conservation is essential for the future of waterfowl populations. Learn more about your ad choices.
