We sit down with duck hunting guide Kade Weatherford at the Ducks Expo 2025 to discuss the realities of waterfowl hunting and what to expect for the upcoming season. Cade shares his firsthand experience of managing expectations and creating memorable experiences for hunters regardless of conditions.

• The importance of not judging an outfitter based on a single hunt experience
• Why worked-up dirt can sometimes produce better hunting than planted fields
• How hundreds of thousands of unplanted acres in Arkansas might affect the upcoming season
• Insight into duck feeding patterns and lesser-known food sources like smartweeds and invertebrates
• Why hunting multiple days significantly increases your chances of success
• Discussion of hunting pressure theory and when to rest versus hunt your property
• Detailed breakdown of available dates for the upcoming season
• Affordable rates of $250 per day with $100 deposit and optional $40 lodging
