August 31, 2026 More Than Killing Ducks | Jake Maxwell — EP 280

Public land, prairie potholes, and the future of duck hunting come into sharp focus in this no-filter conversation with Jake Maxwell of Chasen Green. If you care about real-world duck hunting strategy, conservation, or how modern content is changing the sport, this one hits home fast.

Jake joins Damien, alongside Craig and Phil for a wide-ranging episode that goes far beyond “how to kill birds.” They get into what’s actually happening with duck numbers, why the prairie pothole region matters to hunters in both the U.S. and Canada, and how social media can either help grow waterfowling or drag it down.

You’ll discover:

Why Jake believes ducks are fewer, harder to find, and more unpredictable than ever

How public land hunting changed once tools like OnX and digital mapping became game changers

Why Jake’s content feels different from polished hunting shows

What he’s learned from hunting across new states, new conditions, and new pressure

The one rule he says every duck hunter should follow if they want more success

Why the next generation of hunters needs more mentorship, not more gatekeeping

Damien, Craig, and @fowledcollective also press Jake on the tension between hunting, filming, outfitting, and staying authentic, leading to some honest talk about responsibility, controversy, and what actually helps the sport long-term. Jake shares how he thinks about conservation, why he doesn’t shy away from tough topics, and what keeps him grounded when the hunting world gets loud.

Jake Maxwell is the force behind Chasen Green, known for raw public-land hunting content, thoughtful takes on conservation, and a style that teaches without pretending there’s only one way to do it. His perspective blends hard-earned waterfowl experience with a willingness to talk about the issues that matter.

Essential listening if you love duck hunting, hunt public ground, follow Chasen Green, or want a smarter conversation about where waterfowling is headed next.

Surround yourself with good people, and good things will happen.

Sit back and relax, this is a great show
