    EP 653. Driven Shoots: Guns, Grace and the English Way

    While passing through London enroute to the hallowed Holkham Estate--where driven shooting is said to have originated way back when--I visited the shop of Fredrick Beesley on Kings Road, established 1879, to get properly sorted. And Bradley Davis does just that. What's all the fuss about "bespoke" English shotguns, what makes English shotguns different, and why do they use two-shooters across the pond instead of semi-auto shotguns? Is the dress code all about pomp and circumstance--or is it something else? What's meant by "peg etiquette," what's the significance of "elevenses", and what other need-to-know customary traditions should I be aware before donning plus-fours like a Mississippi fish out of water? From the outside looking in, it's a whole 'nuther world. But one that resonates on many levels.

    EP 651. Restoring America's Waterfowl Refuges

    America's national wildlife refuges face a growing infrastructure crisis--ducks and hunters are suffering the consequences. Delta Waterfowl's John Devney and Jason Tharp reveal a bold new plan; break down why aging water systems along with underinvestments and staffing decreases limit habitat performance and waterfowl utilization--and why it matters. What will it take to restore federal refuges to their former glory, how might this improve waterfowl populations and duck hunting access in your own back yard, and how can you help?

    EP 650. From the Quack Shack, Arkansas

    With bellies full from eating 4th-generation Brunswick stew--it's a secret recipe cooked in batch sizes that'll nourish sizable zip codes--longtime duck hunter and call-maker David Gaston slides across the table to tune calls and tell stories. And always, boy does he have them: camp origins and history, memorable leg band stories, "no shoot da' ringneck," hunting in the good old days, converting from Arkansas public to private, respect, changes, Brunswick stew, cast iron skillets and bacon grease, mentor Alvin Taylor, duck calls he couldn't part with, and more!   Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 to save 25% Sitka Gear SoundGear Use code GetDucks20 to save 25% Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?

    EP 649. All Give, No Take: Changing Arkansas Public Land & Beyond

    The Public Timber Project's shut-up-and-show-up attitude for taking personal responsibility of Arkansas public land--and now across state lines--is contagiously growing. Because it resonates among hunters and managers. Lifelong public land hunters themselves, Ich Stewart, Blakely Cobb and Jeremy Brown discuss what drew each of them to TPTP and more: the history and inevitable changes of duck hunting in Arkansas's river bottoms, intensely passionate public land duck hunter mindsets, who public lands really "belong" to, how--and why--The Public Timber Project is being embraced by state and federal agencies, waterfowl-related NGOs, the waterfowl industry, and volunteering waterfowl hunters from across the US. For starts. Growing pains? Some. But at a time it's needed more than ever before, these boys are all give, and no take, going far beyond boat ramp pick-ups--and into future generations.       ****** Learn More: The Public Timber Project https://publictimberproject.org ******   Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 to save 25% Sitka Gear SoundGear Use code GetDucks20 to save 25% Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?

    EP 648. McKinney Run: Marsh Duck Hunting--and Living--in Louisiana

    After some action-packed duck hunting with buddy Jay Prather--because it's pure full-steam-ahead, pedal-to-the-metal adventure anytime he's around--we kick back at his camp to talk about the Louisiana duck hunting, why the marsh is in such excellent shape this season, controlling giant salvania, the vanishing paradise, viral instagram posts, more. But the name McKinney kept resurfacing.  This camphouse used to be their home. "Liked by some and respected by all," they carved out livings on the wild 15,000 acre swamp our back. Lived forgotten ways. Weathered the region's legendary hurricanes at home. And left lasting impressions on those that knew them. Especially Jay.   Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 to save 25% Sitka Gear SoundGear Use code GetDucks20 to save 25% Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?

    EP 647. Faith at Float Road Duck Camp, Arkansas

    DO NOT listen to this episode unless you can handle big boy topics. While chasing ducks on Arkansas public lands, Jeremy Brown and I huddle for a pre-meal discussion, covering everything from bacon grease to hand-made custom duck straps to conversations enjoyed while hunting ducks together in Arkansas--because where better to talk about the most things in life? And then the conversation took a turn. For the better. ********** MERRY CHRISTMAS! "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord."

    EP 646. Willamette Valley Waterfowling Traditions, Habitat, Conservation

    After pouring post-hunt cups of hot coffee, Western Oregon Ducks Unlimited Biologist and lifelong Willamette Valley hunter, Kelly Warren, provides an insightful, been-there-done-that tour of Oregon duck hunting traditions and ongoing conservation sustaining them. Explaining how his grandfather's duck-blind lessons ignited his interests, he talks about what Alaska banding seasons taught him about waterfowl and migrations, how-private lands partnerships anchor Pacific Flyway waterfowl habitat, Willamette valley restoration wins, coastal wetland habitat insights, Dusky Canada and myriad other cackler and honker species that overwinter in Oregon--he wrote the Identification Field Guide to the Geese of the Willamette Valley and Lower Columbia River, by the way--limiting, water-related pressure on Oregon waterfowl, diversity of waterfowl and other game bird species that define hunting experiences in this amazing landscape. Warren's hunter-biologist's clear-eyed take on turning ideas into habitat, measuring successes years later and building a conservation legacy for future generations is worth hearing. Guaranteed his grandfather'd be proud.   Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 to save 25% Sitka Gear SoundGear Use code GetDucks20 to save 25% Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?
