For Jeremy Brown, Todd Ezzi and Bryce Decker, Arkansas public land duck hunting isn't just something to do--it's a way of life. And it's affected their lives in more ways than one. Gathered around the workbench at Traditions Leathercraft in Oklahoma City preceding Delta Waterfowl's Duck Hunters Expo, we discuss their duck hunting origins, influences, and approaches to hunting public lands in Arkansas; changes they've since experienced; "lighting ducks;" the better and worse; hunting techniques and strategies; and respective life trajectories their lives have taken because of Arkansas public land duck hunting experiences.

The United States harvest an estimated 8-plus million ducks annually. That's a bunch--probably more than the rest of the world combined--but are we shooting too many? Is hunting-related harvests the largest form of mortality? How and when do most ducks die--and what can we do about it? Delta Waterfowl's Paul Wait explains what really drives duck deaths. How do ducks die? It's probably not what you think.

Has duck hunting lost its magic--or have we just forgotten what it's really all about? I sit down with Kyle Winterstee,. lifelong waterfowl and acclaimed outdoor writer to explore the changing soul of duck hunting. Digging into nostalgia, expectations, and the social media effect, we ask whether today's hunters are chasing piles or meaning, and how we might rekindle the romance of hunting. Whether new or veteran hunter, why do we really go duck hunting in the first place?

Feeling close to God while hunting or regarding the woods and waters as church are sentiments common among many hunters--but will it get us a pass at the Pearly Gates? Jason Williams grew up duck hunting in New York and is now a correctional officer-- where things are much more different on the inside than on the out. In finding his own faith, he felt led to write "Committed to the Call: A 365-Day Waterfowl Hunter's Devotional." This conversation is raw. Honest. Uncomfortable at times--at least for me. Among other things, Jason defines what church in its biblical sense. If you've ever found solace while standing knee deep in the marsh and found solace, or wondered what it all meant while quietly watching the sunrise, you'll probably appreciate it.

Mojo Outdoors forever changed the way we duck hunt, and Terry Denmon has been there since wing one. From a farm shop-built decoy that sparked revolution--and controversy--to the battery-operated gear many hunters won't hunt without today, Terry reflects on how Mojo became the most recognized household name in decoys, lessons learned along the way, wild ideas that never made it to production. Diving into the evolution of spinning-winged decoy magic, we discuss the most unforgettable hunts and hilarious adventures that come with pushing buttons and boundaries for 25 years, get a bold look forward at upcoming products, and gain a real sense for what makes Terry tick as both a duck hunter and human being.

Alberta has long been a waterfowl hunter's paradise--relatively generous limits, earlier seasons, big skies and incredible species diversity. But it doesn't happen by accident. Beneath the surface is the incredibly dedicated Alberta Professional Outfitter Society (APOS). Beyond ensuring professional outfitting standards, they are moving the needle in waterfowl conservation; delicately balancing the needs of freelancers, landowners, resident and non-resident hunters; making community investments. Could something similar work in the US? There a new need-to-know hunting regulations you'll want to hear about if hunting north of the border this season, too!
