EP 436. Mississippi River Diver Hunting Duck Season Somewhere

Hunting from an open water blind wrapped in Christmas-smelling evergreens, we were surrounded by hundreds of longlined blocks to include many of Doc's hand-carved "Cleveland-style" decoys, lines worth of Pat's own functional art, and even Coop the Chicken Dog's urn decoy thrown in for good measure--because you can never have too many decoys hunting divers on the mighty Mississippi River!  Picking off bluebills, canvasbacks, buffleheads and occaisonal redheads from a nearby miles-long raft of divers, we sipped lukewarm coffee and solved world problems. Dyed-in-the-wool diver duck hunters Pat Gregory and Doc Leonard discuss old school Mississippi River diver hunting, describing what they most love about it, why they use hand-carved blocks, how it's about more than just ducks, and what most defines this particular waterfowling experience. Good stuff to start the New Year!
