Chad kicks off the 2026 season with a solo episode focused on the birds.

The weather’s been strange, birds aren’t always where people expect them to be, and some states are clearly having more success than others. (Where might surprise you.)

He shares a waterfowl report from around the country and Canada, and he gets into what separates good hunters from great ones. From patience, to adaptability, preparation, and understanding the birds instead of fighting them.

There's a little current-season talk, some on-the-ground perspective, and a look at what really goes into mastering this game, or if it can be mastered at all.
