In this special episode of The North American Waterfowler, Elliott and his son Elijah record from deep in the wilderness on the second evening of their backcountry scouting trip. They’re searching not only for the perfect teal opener but also for a remote hot tent duck-and-grouse hunting location for late October—and they’ve found a spot they’re absolutely in love with. Elijah reflects on his first full season as a waterfowler and shares favorite hunts from the past year. This one’s raw, real, and recorded right from camp.
