In this opinion-driven discussion, we tackle one of the most heated debates in the hunting world — is social media and modern tech the real reason our public hunting lands are becoming overcrowded? From hunting spots being blown up online to GPS apps making once-secret areas public knowledge, we’ll share personal perspectives and hear both sides of the argument. Is it hurting the future of hunting, or is this just the new normal? Join the conversation and share your thoughts in the comments.

Public land timber ducks see a ton of pressure, and on those calm “dead” weather days, water motion can make all the difference. In this video, we break down why adding realistic movement to your spread is crucial when the water looks like glass, plus different decoy and motion techniques we use to create a more natural look for working birds. If you hunt flooded timber with your buddies and struggle on calm days, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we dive into one of the hottest and most controversial topics in modern waterfowl hunting — the growing tension surrounding out-of-state hunters on public land. As more hunters travel across state lines chasing ducks and access to quality public ground becomes increasingly crowded, some states are beginning to discuss or implement regulations aimed specifically at non-resident hunters.

We break down both sides of the debate: Are these regulations necessary to protect local hunters, public resources, and hunting quality? Or are we heading down a dangerous path that could divide the hunting community and limit opportunity for everyone? We also discuss the impact social media, increased exposure of public areas, traveling hunting culture, and rising hunting pressure have had on public land waterfowl hunting across the country.

This conversation isn’t about attacking residents or non-residents — it’s about having an honest discussion on the future of public land hunting and whether regulations are truly the answer, or if hunters themselves need to do a better job policing the culture and respecting the resource before more restrictions become the norm.

From longtails to modern hybrids, mud motors have completely changed the game in waterfowl hunting. In this video, we break down the evolution of duck hunting motors, why hybrid surface drives are suddenly exploding in popularity, and whether these outboard-powered hybrids could truly become the future of waterfowl hunting as we know it. Are traditional surface drives on borrowed time? Let’s talk about it.

This topic was highly requested, so we decided to break down the duck calls that stayed on our lanyards during the 2025-2026 duck season. As we pulled calls straight out of the blind bag, we talked about the different brands we used, why certain calls earned a permanent spot on the lanyard, and the situations we relied on them for throughout the season. From loud, aggressive calling situations to softer finishing work in the timber and pressured ducks late in the year, we cover what worked for us and why. Hopefully this gives y’all some insight into the setups and sounds we trusted most this past season.

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.
