    Talking Louisiana, Family, and Waterfowl with Nate Verdin

    In this episode of The North American Waterfowler Podcast, Elliott sits down with Nate Verdin of Falling Tide TV for a wide ranging conversation about family, fatherhood, duck hunting culture, Louisiana marshes, public land, and the deeper reasons hunters stay connected to the outdoors. The two discuss how becoming fathers changed their perspectives on life, faith, risk, and priorities. They also dive into childhood hunting memories, the emotional connection hunters have with wildlife, and the unique culture surrounding waterfowl hunting across different regions of the country. Later in the episode, Elliott and Nate revisit the flooded corn conversation, discuss public land pressure, nonresident hunting, and the growing tensions within the waterfowl community. This is less of a tactics episode and more of an honest conversation about hunting, identity, and the places that shape us.

    Episode #271 First Amendment Auditors, Saskatchewan Ducks, and Waterfowl Travel

    Support the Show: Patreon.com/freelanceduckhunting Contact Elliott: freelanceduckhunting@gmail.com On this episode of The North American Waterfowler Podcast, Elliott is joined once again by good friend and host of the Migration Waterfowl Podcast, Brian Halbleib. The two sit down for a wide ranging conversation covering everything from duck hunting adventures and prairie marshes to family life, nonresident hunting pressure, and even the world of First Amendment auditors. Brian talks about the emotional transition of becoming an empty nester as his daughters begin careers and move out of state. The conversation then shifts into law enforcement and public filming rights as Elliott asks Brian, a police sergeant, about the growing trend of First Amendment auditors filming inside public buildings. From there the guys dive deep into waterfowl hunting, including Saskatchewan mallard hunts, hidden marshes loaded with ducks, the Gear Roost storage system, travel hunting, Kansas nonresident regulations, scouting strategies, and how perspectives on waterfowl pressure evolve over time. This is one of those classic long form conversations that feels more like sitting around camp with friends than a formal interview.

    Episode #269 Why Ducks Get Smarter Every Season w/Ben Meyers

    Contact Elliott: freelanceduckhunting@gmail.com Get More Content: patreon.com/freelanceduckhunting This episode starts off all over the map in the best way possible. Elliott and Ben Meyers talk Royals baseball, shotgun issues, pattern testing, Flight Day Ammo loads, and why educated ducks become nearly impossible to finish late in the season. Ben breaks down why certain loads outperform others, the differences between 20 gauge and 12 gauge setups, and what he learned after switching back from bismuth to steel. The conversation then shifts into private land duck management, flooded corn, refuge systems, duck pressure, and how heavily hunted birds adapt to survive. Ben also shares details about a brand new blind project going in on one of their favorite timber holes and explains how years of water management can slowly “imprint” ducks onto a property. If you enjoy deep waterfowl conversation mixed with real hunting experience and honest opinions, this is a fun one.

    Episode #268 I Analyzed 35,000 Duck Hunts… Here’s What I Found

    In this episode, I break down real data from over 35,000 logged hunts inside The North American Waterfowler app to answer a question we all think we already know the answer to: what actually impacts duck hunting success? I dive into how wind speed, temperature, and sunny versus cloudy conditions affect birds per hunt and some of the results might surprise you. If you’re someone who loves understanding the “why” behind good and bad hunts, this one is for you. I also answer a listener question about spring scouting and how to approach learning new areas this time of year without overthinking what you’re seeing. To wrap things up, I’m joined by Ben Kraja to talk about a proposed 40,000 acre AI data center near the Great Salt Lake and why it could be a serious concern for waterfowl hunters and the future of that ecosystem. If you enjoy the podcast, be sure to check out The North American Waterfowler app where you can log your hunts, analyze your data, and learn from hunters across the country.

    Episode #267 My Waterfowl YouTube Channel Was Hacked and Deleted

    Get in touch / Support the show:Email: freelanceduckhunting@gmail.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/freelanceduckhunting In this episode, I break down one of the worst days I’ve had as a content creator. My Freelance Duck Hunting YouTube channel was hacked, taken over, and ultimately terminated. I walk through exactly what happened, how it went down, and what the next steps look like moving forward. If you follow Freelance Duck Hunting, this directly impacts you, so I wanted to be upfront about where things stand. After that, I’m joined by Patreon member Tom Markley as we shift gears into hunting talk. Tom shares his recent Kansas turkey hunt, his background in competitive turkey calling, and we dive into what waterfowl hunting looks like in Ohio. A mix of real-life chaos and good hunting conversation in this one.

    In this episode, I’m joined by Jake from Chasing Green, one of the most driven and knowledgeable voices in waterfowl hunting today. We kick things off with a full breakdown of an unforgettable turkey hunt together, from tough conditions to an incredible finish and why those shared moments in the woods mean so much. Then we shift into a deeper conversation around non resident hunting regulations, pressure, and the future of waterfowl hunting. Jake shares his perspective on providing value to the hunting community, the importance of mentorship, and how hunters can shorten the learning curve and find success on public land.

    Episode #265 Why Wetlands Won’t Hold Water | Sand Veins Explained

    In this episode, we sit down with Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks property manager Cody Stegman to talk through what’s actually happening beneath the surface of these wetlands. Cody explains how “sand veins” run through these areas like fingers back to the river, and why water that looks perfect one day can be completely gone the next. We also get into what this means for habitat, how it impacts management decisions, and the challenges of building and maintaining wetlands in areas that simply won’t hold water. If you’ve ever hunted a spot that looked right but didn’t last, this will help you understand why.
