Oregon, USA – This episode of the FA Podcast is all about getting better with your camera in the field. We are joined by Lefty Ray Chapa, who is an award winning freelance outdoor photographer/writer from San Antonio, TX. His focus is very narrow as he only covers anything to do with a shotgun or a fly rod. Currently he pens the “Lefty’s Blind Bag” column for the American Waterfowler magazine and is the contracted photographer for the Clay Target Nation magazine. We will cover everything from using your cell phone to stepping your game up with a point and shoot camera and then the ultimate photo geek cameras with different lenses and options. This is for the person who wants to start taking photos in the field or someone who wants to get better.

Todd Gifford is an avian pest control specialist from everything from pigeons to crows. Todd walks the fine line of hunting and extermination and uses every angle and trick in the book to get the leg up on these birds. Scouting, concealment, calling and even the time of day you are going to hunt plays a huge roll in the outcome of a shoot.

Oregon, USA – If you are not familiar with crow hunting or the name Bob Aronson I can tell you they go together like Peanut Butter and Jelly. Bob has seen, chased and killed more crows than most men alive. He has wrote books, done videos, chat pages, forums and more to help educate hunters on chasing these intelligent birds. Bob has chased crows for over 40 seasons and has surpassed 150,000 crow kills. A legend is not a strong enough word as this takes dedication, knowledge and a ridiculous amount of passion. If you are looking to have some other kind of wing shooting and decoying success when waterfowl season is over this is for you.

Oregon, USA - We will be joined by two of the best snow goose hunters I know in the field. Brad Fenson, freelance outdoor writer and one of the best wild game chefs on our continent from Ardrossan Alberta Canada and Steven Hawkinson from the Sacramento Valley and owner of Kupt Up Custom Duck Straps. We will talk decoy spreads, calling, concealment and more. Scouting is also a key in different parts of the U.S. and Canada as there are a few factors that are important in some areas and not as important in other areas. Pray for wind though,  so we can get them in tight!

Oregon, USA – This episode deals with wing shooting and maximizing your firearm for your days in the field. There is one product that I cannot leave the house with and that is my Benelli SBE III with my Patternmaster Decoy Tube in it. There is no substitute for the technology in this product and how it performs. This is a very technical product and if you do not shoot one sit in and listen to what it can do for your waterfowl hunting. Less cripples, more clean kills, less tired dogs.
