EP 210. Waterfowl Hunting the Driest State in America Jan 06, 2022

Show notes

Isn't it interesting that the oldest waterfowl hunting decoys know to exist on earth were found the the driest state in America? After 3 days hunting swans and ducks in Nevada, Ramsey meets with Nevada Department of Wildlife's Waterfowl Staff Specialist, Russell Woolstenhulme, to discuss waterfowl hunting and management there. What's up with swan hunting in Nevada, and how are swan managed differently in the Pacific Flyway than elsewhere? How is waterfowl habitat managed in America's driest state, what hunting opportunities exist, what are predominate species? How might the landscape have changed since those 2,000 year-old decoys used? What role might The Harvest Initiative and "splash limits" have in future waterfowl management? When you least expect it, expect it--even while chasing waterfowl in the driest state in the US.

EP 208. Family Traditions: Carter's Big Island, Kansas (Part 2) Dec 30, 2021

Show notes

Guiding in the mallard-rich southeast Kansas duck bottomlands comes naturally to Drake Carter. He was born into it, accompanying his dad, Roy, and member-guests to the duck blind for as far back as he can recall. And it was there in the duck blind that he developed skillsets that serve him well at Carter's Big Island, where he guides duck hunters daily. Between duck hunts, Drake describes some of those life lessons to Ramsey, explaining how he's continuing family traditions in a pretty special corner of the world.

EP 204. South Platte River Colorado Flashback Dec 16, 2021

Show notes

From a small generator-powered cabin nestled beneath whispering cottonwoods on the South Platte River bank, Ramsey Russell meets with Flashback decoy inventor Tyler Baskfield between hunts. In a world slap full of gimmicky duck hunting stuff that usually doesn't doesn't perform as intended or last as long as we'd hoped, Baskfield's new American-made flashback decoy is a genuine ace up the sleeve in the "arms race" of duck hunting gear. In hearing Baskfield's interesting story, Ramsey learns that what makes the flashback decoy special is not just its patented motion but the Real American duck hunter's heartbeat that goes into each one. You'll appreciate that, too, in hearing this incredible conversation among duck hunters.
