Duck Season Somewhere

Cutting his teeth in Oregon, Shawn Swearingen--that's spelled like the guy in Deadwood series, he says--migrated to the outskirts of DC, where the hunting is in some ways different but in many ways similar. Besides a legislative career, he makes duck calls and, like a ravenous honker in a plowed corn field, roots out interesting then-and-now hunting and fishing stories as an outdoor writer.

Moving out west with "an anti-hunter from Toronto" to pursue an electrical career was one thing, but the sheer abundance of waterfowl hunting opportunities in Alberta changed Ben Commodore's life. He's now on Cloud 9. Literally. As part of the renowned Ranchland Outfitters team, Commodore delivers some of the most amazing waterfowl hunting experiences on the North American continent. We cover a variety of interesting topics to include current habitat conditions and landscape changes, hunting in Alberta, favored species, top-shelf staffing, customer expectations, warmer winters, and the new Alberta non-resident alien licensing.

Father-son team, Jamey and Layne Roberts of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, spend quality time together duck hunting and scouting. It was duck hunting that sparked 14 year-old Layne's interest in waterfowl conservation and how his Eagle Scout project could make a difference near home. Good stuff!

At the end of the day, adding ducks to the strap boils down to that final crucial moment---the trigger pull. And having poured ourselves into everything else leading up to it, we serious duck hunters want every advantage possible in making each shot count. Better patterns and superior shotgun performance increase our success. Sharing past experiences that lead him into the custom gun works world, Rob Roberts gets deep into shotgun pattern science, describes how simple adjustments may increase our inherent shooting abilities, and much more.  Whether thinking about customizing your own boom stick or wanting to just better understand shotgun patterns and performance, you'll appreciate this highly informative, purely entertaining discussion.

During Australia's duck season "circus," anti-hunters will flare your birds, paddle through your decoys and film your kids, reports Outdoor Life Executive Editor, Natalie Krebs. Having heard about the duck hunting battleground that is Australia, she went to see for herself. She was there during the most recent duck season opener. And while Kreb's first-hand accounts may seem otherworldly to us made-in-American duck hunters, she describes how it may not be nearly as far away as we'd like to think.

In a place where duck hunts are marketed using every superlative ever invented, "best Argentina duck hunt" may seem exaggerated. It's not. The proof is in a decade-and-a-half worth of happy clients. The 2024 season was crazy weather wise, too, going abruptly from record-high, mosquito-swatting weather to bone-chilling, ice-stomping temperatures.  But the hits just kept on coming. Repeat and first-time guests from throughout the season tell what they'll remember most about their Las Flores Argentina duck hunt.

Argentina's a huge country. Lots of habitat, fewer hunters, less hunting pressure. Hunters from all walks of life arrive to the southern hemisphere along with hunt-of-a-lifetime expectations. And every outfitter is the self-proclaimed best. Is there even such a thing?  For 16 years, we've represented this as the very best Argentina duck hunt in a real-duck-hunt-for-real-duck-hunters sort of way. But, seriously, who cares what I say?  Hear what real duck hunters like yourself---first-timers, once-in-a-lifetimers and long-timers---say about it!

Born and raised hunting and fishing in northeast Mississippi, John Blake Riddle has lived a charmed life. Avoiding "the real world" at all costs, he's been a quail guide, duck guide, bird dog trainer to the rich and famous, shooting instructor--for starts--and has a successful crappie jig company called the Little Riddle. He'd rather hunt big water divers or crappie fish from the world's fastest layout boat--and we're talking 102 mph--that he describes in great detail. But here came the real world when, of all things, he made a Tik Tok post about a year ago, insta-famously becoming an overnight celebrity boasting many millions of views of him just naturally just being himself. What a crazy world we live in! Let us know your thoughts and comments below.

Typical of late-July Baton Rouge, between-thunderstorms humidity visibly hung in the air like a warm, wet blanket. Not that anyone cared. Because walking through the convention halls was as exciting as opening day at duck camp, the energy palpable, like walking into a big ol' happy reunion of birds-of-a-feather-flock-together new and old friends swapping stories and sorting their lockers with the latest-greatest gear--happy, smiling duck hunters and their families everywhere.  Meet some of them, hear who they are, how duck hunting inspired them to build better mouse traps, and what attracted them to Delta Waterfowl Expo from throughout the US and from even half-way across the world. Who knows--maybe you'll even plan on joining us in Oklahoma City next year!
