Band Hunting Debate, Life Changes Jun 13, 2024

Show notes

Joey and Cal fire things up with a great debate this week about band hunting. We debate whether or not it’s okay to be out hunting birds specifically looking for and waiting for bands. We also touch on guys that travel to different locations just in the hopes of shooting bands. Then we draft our favorite hunt day feelings. Pretty much any feeling you get on the day of a hunt before or after. Life’s been a little crazy lately as well so we chat a bit about what’s new and what has all happened in our lives since waterfowl season ended.

One Flyway Forever Jun 11, 2024

Show notes

This week Joey and Cal discuss which flyway they would hunt if they could only hunt one for the rest of their lives. This one may be a little dependent on where you grew up and what you’re used to but we had a couple different answers here! Each flyways presents different challenges as well as different types of waterfowl and it really comes down to preference! Which flyway would you hunt if you could only hunt one?

Back In Time, When the Skies Were Black Jun 04, 2024

Show notes

This week for TMT, we discuss a listener suggestion we got on Instagram. If you could choose any time period to go back to and hunt for a few days, which would it be? Joey and Cal both talk about taking a trip back in time to when “the skies were black”. Carter shares his ideal time to go back and hunt as well and we talk pros and cons of hunting in that time as well as what we’d hope to see. Thanks for listening and be sure to suggest some other topics for us as well! Subscribe and review!

Podcast From the Pontoon; Group Vs. Solo Hunting May 23, 2024

Show notes

This week we took the chance to get out of the studio and do a little fishing beforehand so we did the podcast on the pontoon from the lake. We had a good old fashioned fish off between Joey and Carter and debated our asses off about whether you’d rather hunt solo or with a group all the time. Tough to imagine only being able to do one but for the sake of the argument we present our cases. We also draft our best reasons for being late to a hunt!

Private or Public For the Rest of Your Life | The Great Debate May 14, 2024

Show notes

This week for TMT we shake things up with a debate topic: if you could only hunt private land or public land for the rest of your life, which would you choose? Joey and Cal each argue different sides and through that it becomes obvious that having to only choose one would really suck. However, lots of hunters only hunt one or the other. Of course, many of us dip our feet in both! What do you mostly hunt? Thanks for subscribing and be sure to leave a review!
