Michael Lee's life reads like a Forrest Gump-style when-you-come-to-a-fork-in-the-road-take-it Southern novel. Except that it's all true. Starting out humbly enough as a shoeshine boy in his dad's smalltown Mississippi barber shop--where he was once invited to swim in a king's swimming pool--he later played champion-level college football, looped for years on the Mid-south Wresting circuit, worked his way through local law enforcement ranks and became body guard to none other that The Killer himself, Mr. Jerry Lee Lewis. Along his journey he met folks you wouldn't believe, picking up stories--and insights--that'll make you laugh, raise your eyebrows and shake your head. This epsiode if full of grit, heart and behind the scenes tales and insights from a heckuva life.

A non hunter. A safari in Tanzania. A perspective forever flipped. Sue Tidwell talks about Cries of the Savanna, why she--a non-hunter--defends ethical hunting, a moment in the marsh that forever changed her views, and how the shocking footage she recently shared of eco-tourists harassing wildlife puts "non-consumptive use" on its ear! A must-listen on conservation, ethics, and what it really means to love wildlife--like only we hunters do.

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.

What's the best way to avoid snake bites? What's the fatality rate? Any such thing as "a good snake"? Tune in for a deep dive into this fascinating topic. SSSSssssssss.

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.
