Episode #288 Scott Vix: Hunting Then vs. Hunting Now
About this episode
Scott Vix discusses the evolution of duck hunting and the impact of social media on the sport.
Scott Vix returns to the North American Waterfowler Podcast for another campfire-style conversation covering everything from social media's impact on duck hunting to California waterfowling, OnX, spinning-wing decoys, and bringing home a new finished retriever. We dig into the increasingly common claim that "social media has ruined duck hunting" and ask a simple question: How? Is the hunting itself actually worse, or have expectations and hunting culture changed more than the hunting? We also discuss: California duck hunting and public land Season structures and youth/veteran hunts OnX vs. spinning-wing decoys—which changed duck hunting more? Buying a finished retriever instead of raising a puppy Transitioning from an aging hunting dog to a new partner Early teal season and why it's one of our favorite times of year If you enjoy thoughtful conversations about duck hunting, conservation, dogs, and the culture surrounding our sport, this is an episode you'll enjoy.
