We sit down with our friend and hunting guide, Hunter Kisner. Hunter has been guiding for different outfitters around the country and has seen a lot of different bird behavior and changes over the last few years. We discuss his career choices, leaving a teaching job to pursue full time guiding and why he’s so passionate about hunting and fishing. Then we get into some different discussions involving birds and how their migration habits are changing. We talk geese roosting on sandbars, mallards not leaving Canada until extremely late in the season, and moon cycle feeding as well as a bunch of other things we’ve noticed hunting birds around the country.

This week we talk a little bit about waterfowl taxidermy. If you’ve ever mounted a prize bird then you know there are differing prices and skill levels of taxidermists. Some have many years of practice while others are just getting started. That doesn’t always mean one is better than the other especially if someone specializes in waterfowl or focuses only on bird taxidermy. We discuss the difficulty of taxidermy and what makes the greats so good. Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!
