This week we’re back home in studio to talk about the hunting we’ve been doing around the country. Joey and Carter went to Montana to hunt mallards on the river and then we all met up for a few days with our buddy Logan in Arkansas. We chat about our different hunting scenarios and experiences as well as review the Minnesota season. We also get into a few recent topics including the resurgence of bird flu, and have a discussion on domestic mallards taking over populations of wild birds. We wrap things up with a Say What segment.

Merry Christmas to all of our listeners! With all this new ice and snow in Minnesota, we wanted to do a quick Ten Minute Tuesday on some basic safety reminders for hunters that are in the thick of some late season hunting. Ice, cold water, slushy rivers and snow packed fields present some of the best hunting opportunities. With it, comes a lot more danger and the need for a sharpened awareness. We highlight a few pieces of this and hope our listeners will be smart while closing out the year! Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!

Cal and Joey sit down with Rod Haydel of Haydel’s Game Calls to discuss a bunch of different topics. We talk about how Haydel’s got their start with Rod’s father and now what Rod and his family have built in terms of a great company and waterfowl legacy. Rod tells us how many DR-85’s he thinks have been sold and how many people are still using that call religiously to this day. If you haven’t ever seen or blown one of these calls, you should. More people have started on this call than any other. We also hear about the first deer grunt and how Haydel’s really transformed from just making duck calls into what they produce today.
