Duck Season Somewhere

What started as a Louisiana college engineering project helped revolutionize shallow-water duck hunting. Gator-Tail founder Kyle Broussard shares how an idea born in the marsh became a game-changing business, from early prototypes and hard-earned lessons to the evolution of surface-drive motors. Along the way, we talk Louisiana teal hunting, changing marshes, duck hunting traditions, family, and even an unexpected SpaceX connection. Pure Louisiana ingenuity, grit, and duck hunting passion.

Six days. Louisiana teal season. A whole lot of miles, old and new friends--and stories worth sharing. From one duck blind to the next, I catch up with good friends across Louisiana, swapping hunting stories, talking ducks, and recording conversations along the way. It's a whirlwind tour of early-season blue-winged teal hunting, Cajun country, and the people who make coming back feel like coming home. Ended the tour in true Louisiana fashion, too!

A fabled Arkansas duck hole. A hard-knuckled caretaker. Outlaws, outrageous characters and enough wild stories to make you wonder how much is even legal to tell.

Johnny Riley was larger than life--a fearless duck hunter, notorious personality and legendary caretaker of Claypool's Reservoir (EP 719. Wallace Claypool's Wild Acres). From clouds of mallards to colorful characters, questionable decisions and his own brand of backwoods justice, grandson Robert Riley--who knew him simply as Pop--brings Johnny Riley's extraordinary life and a bygone era of Arkansas duck hunting roaring back to life. Stories you couldn't make up--or even imagine--in a million years even if you tried. Pull up a chair and settle in. Y'all are going to love this one.

Small, if-you-know-you-know migratory gamebird. Huge migration. And a conservation story every duck hunter will appreciate. Kean Jones and Louisiana biologist unravel the fascinating world of the elusive American woodcock--whose biology, habitat and hunting traditions reveal why healthy cover matters for woodcock, waterfowl and hunters alike. Think you really know the properties you hunt? You might never look at a patch of cover the same way again.

What makes a man walk away from a life calling behind the pulpit to spend his days carving duck decoys? For Colorado Waterfowler Mike Marino, the answer runs deeper than wood, paint and a passion for waterfowling. Similarly to the shaping of wood blocks, he shares how faith, family, loss and the outdoors shaped his life--and how he sees people, hunting, hard knocks and life itself. From meaningful tributes to lasting friendships, his is a passion to carve just one more.

California public-land duck hunting ain't for the faint of heart, but there are some that'd have it no other way. Sky Chief Waterfowl's Aaron Visger remembers Sutter and Gray Lodge days, learning ducks the hard way, the first spinning-winged decoy ever laid eyes on, and how pressure, technology and changing times transformed the game. From Brown Spoon Duck Club to Sky Chief, it's an old-school conversation about gains, losses, and whether today's public lands hunters are actually better--or just way more efficient.

What determines "trophy"--a number, an animal, or the hunt effort? Boone and Crockett Club's Tony Schooner and Mike Opitz join Ramsey to challenge modern trophy culture, unpack Fair Chase, technology and hunting ethics, and explore why records matter far beyond bragging rights. It's a candid conversation about accomplishment, conservation, and keeping the hunt bigger than the trophy.
