  • One of North America's most unique webless gamebirds, sandhill cranes are oftentimes referred to as "ribeyes of the sky" and included among popular waterfowl slam listings. Alabama biologist Courtnay Conring has studied them extensively and hunted them seriously. We do a deep dive into sandhill cranes to include migrating and non-migrating populations, which populations are hunted and protected, differences between greater and lesser sandhill cranes, habitat, diet, habitat conservation, new hunting opportunities, cooking and how-to sandhill crane hunting techniques. Whether collecting groceries, trophies or experiences, most North American waterfowl hunters may likely find themselves chasing sandhill cranes and will appreciate this informative discussion.

  • You've traveled far away from home for a dream hunt and--all things equal, some days better than others--waterfowl are a constant. It's the everything else that really makes a huge difference. Which is why on the heels of another epic 3-day waterfowl hunt at Prairie Limits Outfitters, I met with Brian Cramer to gain insight on "controlling the controllables" and delivering superior, made-to-feel-at-home hospitality. Because too few do it as well.

  • Hunting trips are no place to lose a few pounds. To the contrary, you should be ready to loosen your belt, eat like kings, enjoy. Which is exactly why Chef DJ is among the most popular people at Prairie Limits Outfitters in Saskatchewan, why his specialties are in high demand by returning guests, and why everyone gravitates towards his kitchen throughout the day. Sharing some hallmark recipes along the way, Chef DJ talks about growing up in rural Canada, his interest in cooking, learning to cook for big groups, and how hunting benefits local communities.

  • What's it like growing up a young, avid waterfowler in the north-of-the-border Land of Plenty? How's it similar to the USA--and how's it different? What might you wish be different, and for what might you be most thankful? In a random turn of events, Ramsey falls in with 3 die-hard, young-gun Manitoba hunters who show him what it's like growing up a goose hunter these days in Canada and share some interesting and downright surprising insights. And to think it all started with a shiny new moped in a gravel parking lot! Really good stuff.

  • Located between massive lakes Winnipeg and Manitoba, the fabled Interlakes Region has been an important stop over for migrating Canada geese since forever--especially for that population of big honkers known locally as "Churchills." The region annually attracts goose hunters like myself that can't seem to get enough of them. Sometimes the stars align and we're even there at the same time. Following an action-packed week and a big ol' celebratory T-bone steak, I meet with Manitoba friends Troy Bennet and Dustin Dola to recount the week's highlights.

  • So critical to Pacific Flyway waterfowl was this region that the Lower Klamath NWR was established by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908 as the first waterfowl refuge in the United States. In the 1950s, more pintails were counted in nearby Tule Lake than exists on earth today, and a surprising amount of Pacific Flyway waterfowl are produced or overwinter here! As reported in EP 154. Understanding the Klamath Water War (link below), times have changed--natural droughts have been exacerbated by "policy drought" and conflicting "single species management" as interests compete over scarce water resources, and waterfowl historically rank last priority. Thanks to win-win collaborative efforts, there may be light at end of the tunnel. Jeff McCreary, Ducks Unlimited's Director of Operations for Western Region, and Jake Messerli, CEO for California Waterfowl Association, provide vital updates, spelling out changes affecting waterfowl, Pacific Flyway hunters, local communities and conservation throughout the United States.

  • Located in Chambers County, Texas, the Double Bayou community has a storied, oftentimes truth-is-stranger-than-fiction past. It was there that Blake Moulton learned to duck hunt from his father, who was simply passing along the same torch handed him by predecessors. In some ways, things have changed. In other ways they never will. Beneath a sprawling live oak that's shaded Moulton's family for 5 generations, he talks about growing up, the local community, family traditions, and the people that inspired him to be his best at duck hunting and in life.

  • There's plenty North Dakota waterfowl hunting opportunities for ducks, snows, cacklers, honkers and tundra swans, and depending on what you're chasing the overall season runs late-September (for non-residents) through bone-chilling, mid-December. For those wanting the convenience of an experienced can-do outfitter, nobody does it better than Dirty Bird Outfitters. Now in their 10th season, owner-founder Matthew Piehl and head viking-guide Nick Marcyes describe how a kindred love-hate spirit for white geese--yeah, they chase spring snows in Arkansas and back, too--and an idea scribbled onto a napkin started the whole thing.

  • As a barefoot little boy playing outside in the late-1930s that later duck hunted when rice predominated the coastal Texas landscape, 90-year-old Charles Stutzenbaker became the first full-time waterfowl biologist for the State of Texas. It was a different world. Plenty work to do. And work he did. Spending many years immersed afield, he became a foremost authority on coastal habitat, authoring definitive books on mottled ducks and wetlands vegetation. He influenced Gulf Coastal habitat conservation and duck hunting as we know it today at state, flyway and national levels; was instrumental in starting early blue-winged teal season and banning lead shot. Mr. Stutzenbaker discusses these topics and more in today's very interesting conversation.

  • West of San Antonio, where the Chihuahua Desert and Brush County collide it's dry. Real dry. But there exist one of the most unique and best-kept secrets in North America waterfowl hunting. Renowned since forever for world-class muy grande white-tails on vast private ranches, the region also harbors ducks, speckle bellies and sandhill cranes that've long been disregarded by locals and remain relatively unpressured. Enter Speck Ops Waterfowl. Luke Bledsoe and wife, Jillian, describe moving to the area, amassing and covering a hunting area best described as a 500-mile triangle, hunting practically every Central Flyway duck species--to include some real prizes--delivering lodging experiences unlike anywhere else, and their long-term vision. Sounds so good that we make plans to maybe do a couples trip there next year!

  • Hunting western Nebraska is all about the right stuff--the right properties, the right locations, the right people. There's mallards and geese galore, for sure, but this corner of the Wild West is also crawling with huge mule deer and white-tailed bucks, pronghorn, Merriam's turkeys, and elk. Born and raised nearby, Powder Morning Hunting Company's Coy Fisher describes growing up there; what Sydney, Nebraska was like before, during and since Cabela's; how carbon sequestration is a billion dollar industry out there; putting together and covering over 400,000 acres to include many miles of fabled North Platte River and warm water sloughs; unique waterfowl habitat projects; and delivering great customer experiences. Am headed out there myself early-January 2025 and can't wait.

But South Carolina-based Outdoor Dream Foundation is making outdoor dreams reality for youths facing some of life's toughest challenges. "It gives them light at the end of the tunnel, something to live for," one of today's guests says.

ODF members Leroy Martin, Richard Cranes, and Skip Still share some favorite memories of past recipients, proving that the best way to help oneself is to help others. Whether you're a parent or not, you'll appreciate today's heart-felt stories.

  • Fifth-generation Florida native Travis Thompson was born-and-raised Florida duck hunting. In the absence of mallards, their mainstays are blue-winged teal, Florida mottled ducks, whistling ducks, and--of course--ring-necked ducks, which are discussed in depth along with local hunting traditions, gators and cattle, where and how ducks are hunted. "But when you're not at the table, you're on the menu," says Thompson, pivoting to the rapid loss of wintering habitat and hunting rights in Florida. Beyond Disney and Miami, an entirely other Florida exists. But for how much longer?

  • Raised a 4th-generation northeast Arkansas public land duck hunter, Maggie Williams says the first girl her daddy ever even saw in the woods was the 10 year-old daughter he'd brought along himself. Treated just like one of the boys, the rest was history. A genuine duck hunter--that just happened to be a girl--was born on the spot. Maggie Williams describes growing up hunting Arkansas public dirt, how beauty pageants enabled her insatiable high school duck hunting appetite while teaching valuable life skills, and how the combined effects shaped her life. We get into nitty gritty topics, too, to include a growing hate culture among public land hunters, Arkansas public land hunting ettiquette, coping with public land crowds, the backlash of being a woman hunter, the need for role models, why representation matters, and how people from different walks of life bond through a shared love for duck hunting. And then we get into the whole turkey hunting thing!

Besides a legislative career, he makes duck calls and, like a ravenous honker in a plowed corn field, roots out interesting then-and-now hunting and fishing stories as an outdoor writer.
