The 2025–26 Louisiana duck season has come to an end, and we’re taking one last trip into the blind to recap it all. From lessons learned in the field to unforgettable memories with friends and dogs, we reflect on what this season taught us about hunting, patience, and the outdoors. Join us as we relive the highs, the surprises, and the stories that made this season one for the books.

The waterfowl shotgun market doesn’t look like it did 10–20 years ago, and there’s a reason for that. In this episode, we break down the shift from legacy American brands to modern, feature-driven options that dominate today’s duck blinds.

We talk about how names that once defined waterfowl hunting slowly lost ground, why foreign and budget-friendly brands gained traction, and how changing hunter expectations—reliability, price, performance, and innovation—reshaped the market.

This isn’t about brand bashing or hype. It’s an honest conversation about what changed, why it changed, and what it means for today’s waterfowl hunter when choosing a shotgun.

Bryan Isleno joins me in the duck blind to talk about how Duck Dynasty helped spark his passion for waterfowl hunting and how that early influence shaped the hunter he is today. From meeting through social media years ago to sharing a blind, we break down the journey, the grind, and a season that finally delivered a long-awaited bucket-list moment in the timber.

Join me live from the duck blind in Louisiana with my good friend David Lemoine, a 20-year Army veteran and lifelong waterfowl hunter. We talk hunting strategies, share stories from both the field and service, and experience the thrill of a Louisiana duck hunt firsthand. Whether you love the outdoors, respect our veterans, or just enjoy a good hunting story, this episode brings it all straight from the blind.

The second split of Louisiana’s duck season is officially underway, but a mid-winter heat wave has thrown a curveball at the migration. In this episode, we break down how unseasonably warm temperatures are impacting bird movement, holding patterns, and overall hunting pressure across the state. We also talk about adjusting expectations—why late mornings and early afternoon flights have become the most productive windows, and how hunters can adapt their setups, timing, and mindset to stay successful despite less-than-ideal weather conditions.

Join us for a candid roundtable with five veteran Louisiana duck hunters — Joey, Nate, Dale, Joe, and Roland — as they break down the highs and lows from the first split of the 2025-26 Louisiana duck season. We’ll talk habitat conditions, bird numbers, memorable hunts, what worked (and what didn’t), and how weather and water impacted success across the state.

In this episode, we take a realistic look at the Louisiana duck season so far. The birds are in the state, but constant pressure on public areas has them holding tight, slipping into safe pockets, and moving far less during daylight. We talk about what we’ve experienced in the field, how hunting pressure is changing daily patterns, and why many birds aren’t showing until the evenings. It’s a straightforward breakdown of what’s really happening out there and how hunters can adjust their approach as the season continues.

This episode dives into how the 2025 Louisiana duck season kicked off—from the energy of Youth Opener to the early weeks of chasing birds across the state. We talk through what we’ve been seeing in the field so far, the places we’ve traveled, and the migration patterns starting to take shape. You’ll hear honest stories from our hunts, what gave us confidence heading into regular season, and why an old-school decoy that many hunters overlook is still producing when the conditions are right. If you want a real, on-the-water look at how the season is unfolding, this one’s packed with it.

In this episode, I sit down with my old friend John Johnson, a 21-year-old military veteran and passionate waterfowl hunter.
