About this episode
Elliott Snider and Nate Verdin discuss family, duck hunting culture, and the emotional connections hunters have with the outdoors.
In this episode of The North American Waterfowler Podcast, Elliott sits down with Nate Verdin of Falling Tide TV for a wide ranging conversation about family, fatherhood, duck hunting culture, Louisiana marshes, public land, and the deeper reasons hunters stay connected to the outdoors. The two discuss how becoming fathers changed their perspectives on life, faith, risk, and priorities. They also dive into childhood hunting memories, the emotional connection hunters have with wildlife, and the unique culture surrounding waterfowl hunting across different regions of the country. Later in the episode, Elliott and Nate revisit the flooded corn conversation, discuss public land pressure, nonresident hunting, and the growing tensions within the waterfowl community. This is less of a tactics episode and more of an honest conversation about hunting, identity, and the places that shape us.
