This series highlights the highs and lows of hunting public land across different regions of America — the early mornings, the pressure, the competition, and the grind that comes with earning every bird.

In this episode, Jeff and Andy are joined by Wesley Sparkman, who spends his off days chasing ducks in the great state of Louisiana. A member of the Bossier City Fire Department, Wesley talks about balancing life as a firefighter with the grind of hunting the public land on the Red River and making the most of every window he gets in the field.

The guys break down highlights from the past season, including the warm-weather, stale patterns that challenged waterfowl hunters across the country. They also dive into the benefits of a firefighter’s schedule for a serious hunter, swap stories about less-than-ideal blind conditions, and the kind of uninvited guests you sometimes run into when you’re tucked away in the timber.
