The HP Outdoors Waterfowl Podcast HP Outdoors: Waterfowl/Waterfowl Hunting/Duck Hunting/Goose Hunting

So far I am on episode 80 and think these guys are funny and smart when it comes to waterfowl hunting. I have been hunting off and on since I was a kid and I’m always up for learning. These two have helped me in many different areas from what gear is best, to better ways to improve my hunting skills and many others. They are both level headed and willing to give an opinion but also understand the other person’s view. I plan on finishing all the episodes and hope there are more to come. I read a few low star ratings that others gave and totally disagree with them. One of them even mentioned that Josh and Dan were city boys. Haha. Duh! Most of us waterfowl hunters are. That’s the point of the podcast. To try and improve your success as a hunter at public ground and private. Amazing podcast! Thank you Josh and Dan.

I followed this podcast up to the 100th episode give or take. I enjoyed it thoroughly most days but as it gained popularity they got too big for their britches. They got sponsored and formed a little cult almost in their social platforms to a point where if you didn’t use their sponsored products, voiced opinions on a product you liked better or even just talked differing opinions you were ostracized. Waterfowlers are the worst kind of gear junkies. That’s a known fact. I can take some razzing but these guys and their followers just aren’t welcoming. They boast all the time how they will ban you from their social groups for “stirring the pot” or whatever but most of the time it’s just a power trip. Stardom did not suit these guys well. Went from one of the only decent content waterfowl podcasts to a cult that I just don’t fit in with. I stopped listening and just can’t get into the content anymore after seeing their true colors. I just don’t fit in with frat boy waterfowlers who are so closed minded they can’t take any opposition to their way of doing things.

Just a listened to episode 198 with Dr. Joe Spoo very informative episode on some simple ways to better understand and acknowledge signs of problems a dog can be enduring throughout their work load. Also a good reminder not to over react but be mindful of the dogs need many of our breeds won’t stop until they drop. Being able to recognize and stop working before a serious injury occurs is vital. Good episode on how to maintain and keep a dogs health in peak performance for long days in the field and long years in our family!
