    Ep 18 - Duck Calling with Kent Cullum and Christian Curtis of Hobo Calls and Banded!

    Episode 18: Mastering the Art of Duck Calling with Kent Cullum In this episode of TrophyCast, we have special guests Christian Curtis of Banded, and Kent Cullum, founder of Hobo Duck Calls and champion duck caller. Duck Calling Masterclass with Kent - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuabzGXt6Os The team dives deep into the intricacies of duck calling and the art of setting up a perfect hunt. Kent’s decades of experience and nuanced approach to duck calling take center stage as he shares tips, techniques, and insights that any waterfowler would appreciate. Episode Highlights: •The Legacy of Duck Calling: Kent recalls his roots in competitive calling and his early days developing calls, including his first company, Fowl Mouth, and later, Hobo Duck Calls. He shares the inspiration behind the names and the learning process that shaped his signature approach. •Techniques in Duck Calling: Kent and Christian break down the components of a J-Frame call, how different calls vary in sound, and why certain styles like cut-down calls are less versatile than traditional J-Frames. Kent emphasizes the importance of realism and how to control a call to match a duck’s natural cadence. •Strategies for Late-Season Ducks: As ducks become increasingly wary throughout the season, Kent explains the adjustments needed in calling style and decoy setups. He shares clever techniques for late-season hunts, like spreading decoys away from the blind and relying on subtle, realistic movements to avoid alerting ducks. •Importance of Practice and Subtlety: Kent offers advice for aspiring callers, highlighting the importance of mastering simple quacks and understanding cadence. He also discusses when not to call, explaining how over-calling can spook ducks that are already committed to landing. •Ethics in Hunting: The conversation turns to the ethics and etiquette of hunting, from respecting other hunters’ space to adjusting tactics to ensure everyone has a fair shot at the ducks. Kent and the team share stories from the field that underscore the importance of sportsmanship and courtesy. •Modern Challenges with Hunting Pressure: They discuss the impact of hunting pressure and how increased competition for prime spots has changed public land hunting. With more hunters in the field and ducks growing more cautious, Kent explains how being adaptable is key to successful hunts. Whether you’re a seasoned caller or new to the sport, Kent’s insights into duck behavior, calling, and strategy are invaluable. For more in-depth demonstrations, head over to TrophyCast’s YouTube channel for a follow-up video where Kent walks through his duck calling techniques in action.

    Ep 17 - We're Back! w/ Christian Curtis of Banded!

    Duck season is here! And in honor of the opening of the season in Missouri, we are releasing a podcast that we recorded this past January with Christian Curtis, one of the founders of Banded and a friend of Trophy Properties and Auction. Episode Highlights: •A Lifetime in the Field: Christian shares the story of his introduction to duck hunting, tracing back to his youth in Missouri. He reflects on how hunting has changed, from early days on the river to today’s more technology-driven approaches. •Guiding and Gear: Discussing his journey from duck guiding to creating and selling hunting products, Christian explains how necessity and innovation sparked his move into product design with Avery Outdoors and later Bandit Holdings. •Changing Landscapes of Waterfowl Migration: The team delves into changes in migration patterns, likely due to climate shifts, and the impact of hunting pressures.  •Modern Hunting Challenges: From trail cams to social media influence, Christian, Jason, and Anthony debate how technology affects hunting traditions, the authenticity of modern “influencers,” and the increasing commoditization of hunting land. •Keeping it Real: Christian talks about Bandit’s philosophy on aligning with genuine personalities in the hunting industry over social media giants. Authenticity, he says, is still king when connecting with dedicated hunters. •Land and Market Trends: Trophy Properties & Auction’s insights on breaking large properties into smaller, affordable tracts give listeners a peek into the changing real estate trends and the growing popularity of recreational land ownership. Tune in to hear these stories and more, as this crew blends humor, industry knowledge, and real-life experiences to paint a full picture of the duck hunting world—past, present, and future. This podcast was recorded in January of 2024 while we were duck hunting in New Madrid, MO.
