    Trap Shooting: Helps or Hurts?

    With Cal out this week, Joey and Carter talk about trap shooting and how it relates to shooting birds. Especially in the off season, we’re always looking for ways to improve as hunters. Lots of folks shoot trap to stay sharp with their shotgun. We talk about whether or not this is an effective way to become a better waterfowl shooter. They also talk about the best guys you can bring with you on a hunt, and Joey calls Carters dad. Thanks for listening and watching! Be sure to subscribe to get all of our content!

    Teal Season Debate, Worst That Can Happen

    Teal Season Debate, Worst That Can Happen

    This week Joey and Cal get into a heated debate about early teal season and whether or not it has negative consequences on our hunting seasons around the country. There’s lots of opinions both ways and we do our best to show both points of view. We also talk about the worst things that can happen on a hunt that are hunt Enders almost immediately. On another note, Montana FWP is considering opening an 87 mile stretch of the Yellowstone that has been closed to hunting for years. We discuss the pros and cons of doing so and what some of the aftermath may look like if they do. Thanks for listening and leave us a review. Also don’t forget to subscribe!
