Gavin Kolles; Exploding Shotguns, The Meadow

Duck Hunting and Goose Hunting is in our blood and we live it everyday! The Midwest Flyways Podcast is an authentic take on waterfowl hunting from Midwest Flyways. Duck and goose hunting has continued to evolve throughout the years and we aim to connect duck hunting traditions with the future of waterfowling. If you‘re passionate about ducks and geese then come hang with Joey Vassallo and Cal Ness as they talk duck hunting, goose hunting and everything else in between.

Sports

Wilderness

Joey and Cal fire things up with a great debate this week about band hunting. We debate whether or not it’s okay to be out hunting birds specifically looking for and waiting for bands. We also touch on guys that travel to different locations just in the hopes of shooting bands. Then we draft our favorite hunt day feelings. Pretty much any feeling you get on the day of a hunt before or after. Life’s been a little crazy lately as well so we chat a bit about what’s new and what has all happened in our lives since waterfowl season ended. Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe everywhere! Also leave a review!

Band Hunting Debate, Life Changes

This week Joey and Cal discuss which flyway they would hunt if they could only hunt one for the rest of their lives. This one may be a little dependent on where you grew up and what you’re used to but we had a couple different answers here! Each flyways presents different challenges as well as different types of waterfowl and it really comes down to preference! Which flyway would you hunt if you could only hunt one? Let us know in the comments or on Instagram! Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe and leave a review!

Best Of Podcast Moments

This week for TMT, we discuss a listener suggestion we got on Instagram. If you could choose any time period to go back to and hunt for a few days, which would it be? Joey and Cal both talk about taking a trip back in time to when “the skies were black”. Carter shares his ideal time to go back and hunt as well and we talk pros and cons of hunting in that time as well as what we’d hope to see. Thanks for listening and be sure to suggest some other topics for us as well! Subscribe and review!
