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 Kevin Patterson, who hunts the public marshes and coastal waters of Massachusetts. Kevin walks through what a typical morning looks like in New England, where changing tides dictate everything—from how ducks move to where they choose to roost.

The guys dive into his approach to fooling wary black ducks, the hard lessons he learned navigating unfamiliar public ground after making the move from Texas, and the unique challenges of hunting pressured birds in tight coastal environments. Kevin also shares his passion for honoring the roots of waterfowl hunting by choosing traditional wooden decoys.
