From California duck clubs to Idaho fields, Scott Vix has seen it all—and he’s back to share lessons from 40 years of chasing birds. In this conversation, we talk shot ethics, sub-gauge controversy, and the mindset of hunters who last. Scott explains how to earn a spot in someone’s blind (and keep it), what makes a great partner or spouse, and why calling ducks isn’t just about sound—it’s about respect. One of the most well-rounded and honest duck hunting convos we’ve had on the show.
