About this episode

Elliott Snider discusses various aspects of duck hunting, including strategies, gear, and listener questions in a live Q&A format.

In this solo episode, I sit down with my Patreon crew for a live Q&A and cover a wide range of topics from duck hunting strategy to gear, pressure, and real world experiences in the field. We get into the spinner vs water motion debate, how I pack for out of state hunts, decoy spread differences on big water vs small water, and the reality of public land pressure. I also share thoughts on non resident hunting regulations, what I’m seeing across Kansas, and what might be coming next. On top of that, we dive into dog training resources, gear that actually makes a difference, and answer a bunch of listener questions from Patreon, Instagram, and Facebook. If you’re serious about freelance duck hunting and want honest answers without the fluff, this one’s for you.
