E474 - CWA’s New Hunter Mission – Keepin’ the Culture Alive part 1


Listen Later

We ain’t sugarcoatin’ it—waterfowl hunting ain’t easy to get into. The gear, the regs, the access, the learning curve... it’s enough to turn folks away before they ever get a decoy wet. But in this episode, we sit down with the badasses from California Waterfowl Association who are making darn sure the tradition doesn’t die on our watch.
From youth camps to veteran hunts, college outreach to first-time field days, the CWA crew is putting in the work—boots on the ground, blinds in the mud, boats in the Delta—to welcome a new wave of hunters into the lifestyle. We’re talkin’ about the full-circle moments, the tear-jerking first retrieves, and the look in a new hunter’s eyes when the first greenhead backpedals over the spread.
You’ll hear how programs like Duck Camp and the Hunt Program are opening gates that used to be locked shut. Real access. Real mentorship. Real opportunities to chase specks, sprig, and mallards in some of the most iconic ground in the flyway.
This one’s a reminder of why we do it—and who we’re doing it for. It’s not just about the straps. It’s about preserving the culture, passing it down, and makin’ sure this lifestyle stays alive for generations to come.
This episode is brought to you by California Waterfowl Association, Corning Ford, Nappa Valley Olive Oil, Cowboy Choice Horse Feeds, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Merlo Waterfowl Group and The Provider Culinary
