On this episode of the Migration Waterfowl podcast, your host Brian Halbleib talks with Billy Campbell from Texas. Most, if not all of you, know Billy from his association with the Dr. Duck Company, the Dr. Duck YouTube channel or from way back on Realtree’s Black Cloud series. We discuss Billy’s experiences in duck hunting, reflecting on the challenges he faced during the season, the importance of enjoying the journey, and the evolution of his hunting techniques. Billy shares insights into his background, his love of the challenge of public land hunting, and the logistics of capturing their adventures on video. We talk about the importance of realism in hunting content and showcasing the camaraderie in the waterfowl hunting community. Billy also shares his experiences in the business side of waterfowl hunting, the importance of building relationships in the field, and the impact of faith on his life and career. He discusses the challenges and joys of working with cameramen, the evolution of his approach to his outdoor adventures, and the significance of cherishing memories beyond the hunt. We also touch on honoring service and sacrifice, as well as the importance of gratitude and respect in both of our personal and professional realms.
