EP 359. Collector of Untamed Stories May 18, 2023

Show notes

Ridr Knowelton grew up in New York's Catskill Mountains, cutting his teeth on small game like the rest of us. He's since spent the past 30 years fishing and hunting around the world. Interestingly, it isn't so much critters hunted that he most remembers but hunting guides--and especially their stories. Today he shares stories about a harrowing arctic rescue mission during a whiteout blizzard that lead to marriage, mules dancing in local saloons, growing up in yesteryear Everglades and much more. You don't want to miss this great episode about "collecting!"

EP 358. The Infamous "Jerry Lee" and Other Local Legends May 15, 2023

Show notes

Dave Gaston Custom Calls' origin is a winds-like-a-snake duck hunting story that begins with western Alabama childhood, meanders through memorable friendships while chasing ducks in Mississippi and Arkansas, finds him apprenticing under one of Arkansas's most legendary call makers, and leaves him at home right where it all began. Only nowadays he spends his time carrying on on the tradition; turning duck calls as a tribute, in part, to those great people now passed. That and telling damned good stories like only Gaston can about the infamous "Jerry Lee" and other local legends. Enjoy!

EP 356. An End to Duck Hunting Down Under? Why Should We Care? May 08, 2023

Show notes

Nearly 9,500 miles away from the US, the heated battle between Australian duck hunters and anti-hunters has hit a fevered pitch. Sustainable duck hunting for future generations seems dire. Providing an update from the front lines, my long-time Australian duck hunting associates, Glenn Falla and Trent Leen, describe what's going on, why the ongoing season is a critical juncture, and how antis have forsaken science-based waterfowl conservation practices and funding to serve an emotionally fueled agenda. Is this finally the end of Australia duck hunting? And why should US hunters care? Safari Club International's Ben Cassidy and Delta Waterfowl's Joel Brice weigh in, offering an all-for-one and one-for-all perspective.

Waterfowl historian Dr. Wayne Capooth describes duck hunting in America way back in the 1600-1700s when the first colonists arrived to a real-life Garden of Eden.
