Privileged Private Land Hunters Who Think They Know The Rules That Need to Govern the Public Hunter

A few of the guest are good to listen to their aspect to the struggles of Arkansas duck hunting. I feel like these private land hunters want to set rules for the public land hunters at their own benefit. If you wanna listen to your public land issues this is not your podcast.

Thank You

Cason and Brent, great work, appreciate your efforts to introduce ideas and science to provide a framework for shaping what I hope is a sustainable future for waterfowl hunting.

Depressing

None stop talk about how there are no ducks and there will be no ducks in the future.

Great podcast

I love this podcast. These guys look to leave the sport of duck hunting better than we have all found it, and it’s hard to find guys that like to do that these days. I love the state of Arkansas and all the years I’ve duck hunted it! Guys like y’all will ensure it’s great even for my kids !!!

Great podcast.

Best waterfowl podcast out there. It’s nice to listen to an honest podcast addressing some of the issues facing waterfowl hunting and the culture around it.
Obsessed !!!!!!!!!

Good show- hosts focus is OFF

The information from guest is great! The fixation on moon phase by the host and Arkansas focus ruins the show. The ducks don’t have to show up in on state. Your Arkansas PRIVILEGE shines through like a full moon! You are mad at people for killing ducks before they get to you! That is sad and shows you need to get out more. You must rarely drive through the night to chase ducks in other states. #privileged

A Breath of Fresh, Honest Air Related to Water Fowl

An honest look at the future of Water Fowl hunting. A call to redefine the popular culture of Water Fowling before it is too late.

Excellent and Interesting Subject Matter

I have really enjoyed listening to these episodes. The subject matter is unique and the hosts address issues and bring to life stories that are seldom offered on other podcasts or media (if at all). The two hosts are highly qualified on waterfowl hunting and conservation and know what they are talking about! S. Perry
