| EP 552. Last of a Dying Breed: The Lost Art of Punt Gunning (Part 1) | 30 Jan 2025 | 01:12:42 | |
Banned 107 years ago in the United States pursuant to the Migratory Bird Treat Act of 1918, punt gunning has since persisted in the United Kingdom. It's still practiced by a few hardy old salts like today's guest, Ginger Blayney, who gives us proper introduction. Where'd punt guns originate, what are the components of a punt gunning, under what environmental conditions are they most successfully used, and what are the dangers? What's an ideal waterfowl bag when using punt guns, what are punt gunning's advantages and limitations, how does perception differ from reality? How might the men that still practice punt gunning be characterized, and why is punt gunning becoming a lost art? We get into all of this and much, much more in today's incredibly interesting last-of-a-dying-breed discussion that you do not want to miss!

| EP 551. The Perfect Trigger Pull | 27 Jan 2025 | 01:46:12 | |
All the time and effort that goes into putting waterfowl on the strap--travel, scouting, walk-ins decoy placement, calling, early wake ups--all boils down to a crucial moment: the perfect trigger pull. Is your shotgun throwing its best pattern when that time comes? Joel Strickland went down a deep rabbit hole on the topic for his Surviving Duck Season YouTube series. Firing tens of thousands of rounds, using nearly every type of cartridge, choke and shotgun, exploring patterns and penetration, showing us everything we needed to know so that we can make the perfect trigger pull ourselves. Today he shares his insights.

| EP 542. They Really Hunt Coots in Louisiana?! And Much More | 26 Dec 2024 | 01:24:31 | |
Roland Cortez talks about being born and raised duck hunting in South Louisiana's marshes, his earliest influences and introductions, how and why he's been guiding duck hunts for a very long time, and even why coots--yes coots--are among his favorite game birds as tablefare. We talk about then versus now, raising young hunters, prevalent species hunted, favored hunting techniques, hopes for the season remainder and future, and much more. Ramsey even adds "attend coot round up with Roland Cortez" to his bucket list!

| EP 452. The Feather Thief | 04 Mar 2024 | 01:42:11 | |
Is it true that "man is seldom content to witness nature...he must posess it?" What is it about beautiful feathers that so obsesses some of us? Truth is truly stranger than fiction, and some stories you couldn't contrive in a lifetime's worth of imagination. Kirk Wallace Johnson's The Feather Thief is prime example--a child prodigy flutist becomes a world-champion salmon fly tier, breaks into British Natural History Museum, stealing hundreds of rare bird skins worth millions of dollars in the fly-tying underworld but irreplacably priceless to the scientific community. Anything for those beautiful feathers! For fame? For money? Told masterfully, Johnson's investigative story explores man's obsessive instinct to harvest--and to collect--nature's beauty. It's a story as old as time.

| EP 451. Cape Barren Goose Hunting in Tasmania | 29 Feb 2024 | 01:08:30 | |
Rare in terms of the extremely small geograpic area they can be hunted relative to earth--and trust me, it's one helluva long trip just getting there from here--Cape Barren geese are also regarded as among the world's largest goose species in the world. While the coals for lambchops are getting hot, our Tasmanian bucket-list host, Rockjaw, talks about growing up on remote Flynder's Island; Cape Barren Goose habits, agricultural conflicts and hunting techniques, ways to eat 'em; and about other unique hunting and fishing opportunities in his tiny corner of the world between the Tasman Sea and Bass Straight. There's a reason there's so very little crime or antihunting there. He briefly explains that, too, like only Rockjaw can!

| EP 450. Carter's Big Island: Location, Location, Location--and Commitment | 26 Feb 2024 | 01:31:28 | |
After a mallards-galore Kansas timber hunt--and I'm talking mallard flocks spilling over the treetops like tossed dice into the coffee-colored opening surrounded by thick ice--Carter's Big Island father-son team, Roy and Drake, and I visit about their singular 74-day objective: to put fluttering greenheads in front of client guns. It doesn't happen by accident either. It's all about location, location, location and an unwavering, year-round commitent. Covering topics to include the season results, the daily grind, guide expectations, shooting greenheads-only, duck calling, property development, habitat management and their pass it on or lose it philosophy, as much is learned about who they are as top-shelf mallard producers as who they are as people you'd probably enjoy sharing times with in the blind.

| EP 449. Old School Functionality That Fits Our Lifestyle and Lasts a Lifetime | 22 Feb 2024 | 01:07:45 | |
Form or function? Because long before waterfowl hunting clothing became a conspicuous corporate camo fashion statement, generations of savvy duck killers chose practical, earth-toned natural materials that kept them warm, dry and concealed while lasting generations. And because history repeats itself, it seems that the entire hunting industry is suddenly trending from latest-greatest patterns to good old-fashioned solids again. Except for Tom Beckbe. They remained loyal to old school functionality from the get go. Tom Beckbe's founder, Radcliffe Menge, and I catch up over cups of hot coffee, discussing why old school tendencies are resonating among today's duck hunters, form versus function, natural materials, duck hunting here and there, and new products.

| EP 448. Five Minutes: 300 Seconds That Changed My Life | 19 Feb 2024 | 01:46:35 | |
Five minutes isn't much time. But 300 seconds probably seems like an eternity when your life depends on it happening. A duck hunter from Minnesota, Jack Zimmerman joined the Army to serve his country. Returning with no legs and damged arms after stepping on an IED, he has no regrets. Shaping himself into the best new version possible, he encourages others to do likewise through his actions-speak-louder-than-words approach to life. He continues waterfowl hunting with an appreciation like never before. In listening to Zimmerman's detailed stories, you'll appreciate his sacrifice as an American soldier and be inspired to prevail through your own life struggles.

After a thousand-plus wears, Voormi's High-E Hoodie and other products like the 2-pocket hoodie and base layers, have become essential, must-pack staples while waterfowl hunting worldwide. Highlighting the many reasons that I now love and rely on Voormi gear, founder Butch English does dives deep into the substrate-driven functionality, meaningful design and purposeful innovativeness of their core technology. At the heart of it all? Yep. A duck hunter from Missouri that knew from experience that there was plenty room for gear improvement. So he did.

| EP 446. Is the Mallard Migration Shifting? Or Is Something Else Possibly Happening? | 12 Feb 2024 | 01:15:43 | |
In December's "Where the Hell are the Mallards" (EP 434), Dr. Michael Schummer described waning migrations of "Halloween mallards," that subset of North American mallards that fly to their southern overwintering haunts in mid- to late-October regardless of wintry temps and snow cover. He promised to climb down that rabbit hole with Dr. Phil Lavretsky if given the chance. Today, Drrs. Shummer and Lavretsky go deep into that briar patch! See, while it's easy to explain weak migrations in the absence of a real winter, other factors are likely influencing our percetions that fewer mallards are flying south or that the mallard migration is shifting westwards. Do. Not. Miss. This. Conversation!

| Ep 445. Building MOJO | 08 Feb 2024 | 01:32:05 | |
"All I knew is that nobody was going to outwork me," says Mojo founder Terry Denmon in describing his abrupt departure from federal government employment decades ago to become an engineering consultant that did not yet even have one single client. Many years later, a new fangled decoy concept dropped into his lap and while it'd be easy to say that the rest is history, it wouldn't tell the entire story. Today's episode is more about working hard, thinking outside the box and never quitting than it is about the world's most recognized namebrand waterfowl decoy, with plenty pearls of wisdom about succeeding in the outdoor industry, other businesses and just life itself.

Back in the Big D and met with my buddy Brandon Roy, who cooks the best damned steak in Dallas. Because he's posting sumptuous smoked meats daily, was surprised to learn how much he really cooks. We blaze through a bunch of good-to-know, expert griller topics including various meat selections and smoking the perfect brisket, covering differences among social media platforms and dealing with vegan trolls. We also talk about an upcoming Mexico hunt together.

| EP 443. All Waterfowl Sanctuaries Are Created Equal--Or Are They? | 01 Feb 2024 | 01:23:04 | |
We all know that waterfowl sanctuary is an essential component to managing overwintering waterfowl, but is all waterfowl sanctuary created equal? What are the different sanctuary types? Which do mallards prefer? How quickly do mallards respond to Arkansas duck hunting disturbances, and how does their behavior change? How might private landowners and managers adapt to provide more hunting opportunities and still offer sanctuary? A recent graduate of University of Arkansas Monticello, Ethan Ditter researched sanctuary and land cover use patterns by mallards in Arkansas and explains his interesting findings. While some seem intuitive, you'll find others hugely surprising.

| EP 541. Wild Goose Jack Miner Goes Mainstream | 23 Dec 2024 | 01:18:13 | |
Jack Miner Bible-verse-inscribed leg bands have long been revered as holy grail momentos among in-the-know waterfowl hunters. Formed in 1904 by a former fur trapper and market hunter, the Jack Miner Migratory Bird Sanctuary once garnered international attention and was Canada's foremost tourist attraction, connecting legions of both hunters and non-hunters to wild geese and ducks. But times change. Public interests shift. Now in a time where habitat loss is unprecedented, where hunter participation increasingly dwindles, and a more urbanized humanity is disengaged from their wild surroundings, Jack Miner's legacy seems more important than ever before. Collaborating with 50 Ducks' streaming migration technology, they're on an "education is conservation" mission to turn the tide. And need your help. Tune in to learn more about Jack Miner's past, present and future and how you can join them meaningfully in renewed waterfowl conservation efforts.

| EP 442. The TRUE Saga of Liver Eating Johnson | 29 Jan 2024 | 01:17:45 | |
The landmark 1972 movie Jeremiah Johnson featuring Robert Redford should be mandatory viewing for every red-blooded American, and was based on a book entitled "Crow Killer: The Saga of Liver Eating Johnson." But who was he really, and was his name even Johnson? From the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Nathan Bender tells us all about this part-man-part-myth historical figure. Where'd he come from, why'd he prefer Hawkins guns, what'd he do for money, why'd he fight the Crows and why'd he start eating their livers--or did he? Inspired into a history career by the original Jeremiah Johnson movie, he's since become an authority on the topic. Following this interview, I returned to Mountain View Mallard's lodge and rewatched the movie for the umpteenth time. Check it out.

| EP 441. Hit-or-Miss Waterfowl Hunting in Wyoming | 25 Jan 2024 | 01:30:27 | |
Kind of hard to complain about killing Wyoming greenhead limits when the temperatures are in mid-60s, but that's not always the case. Seasonably warm weather made for hit-or-miss waterfowl hunting in Wyoming, but the show must go on--you don't know unless you go, right?! A waterfowl hunting guide for 35 years, JJ Randolph is also a world-class storyteller and human being. He talks about starting Wyobraska--y'all ain't going believe what he traded for his first blind--why he chose Wyoming, important influences, why this area usually overwinters so many ducks and geese, waterfowl plucking, hunting strategies, Wyobraska's client retriever policy and much more. No wonder this hunt sells out as quickly as it does.

| EP 440. Reinvented in the Wild West | 22 Jan 2024 | 01:45:22 | |
The quote above door reads, "Back to the New West. The Wild West I leave to you." While many people have traveled since forever to Cody, Wyoming, to discover the Wild West, many came to disappear or to be reinvented. From the Buffalo Bill Center of the Wild West, Mckracken Research Library, Eric Rossborough provides entertaining accounts of some colorful personalities that did just that, explaining why back in the day locals never asked new folks' names or origins. An amazing storyteller, Rossborough's character descriptions will have you at times laughing out loud and at other times shaking your head in disbelief.

Hunting guide Duncan Abram talks about Minnesota goose hunting, describing how he got started honker hunting, why its a pretty big deal here, why they run such big blinds, what's his blind breakfast specialty, and much more.

| EP 438. The Real Minnesota Vikings | 15 Jan 2024 | 01:27:19 | |
Y'all can chalk today's episode up to interesting things I've never, ever before heard about in goose camp. Or anywhere. According to Elroy Belgaard, vikings--and we're talking real deal Lief Erikson stuff here--visited Minnesota more than a hundred years preceding Christopher Columbus's "discovery" of America. There's plenty evidence to include rune stones, moring stones, and other stuff. Why were they here, what evidence exists, what do 10 human skeletons have to do with anything, why are some scientists naysayers, who were the knights of templar---and might there really exist a raiders-of-the-lost-ark-type treasure of epic proportions somewhere in central Minnesota?!

| EP 436. Mississippi River Diver Hunting | 08 Jan 2024 | 01:52:46 | |
Hunting from an open water blind wrapped in Christmas-smelling evergreens, we were surrounded by hundreds of longlined blocks to include many of Doc's hand-carved "Cleveland-style" decoys, lines worth of Pat's own functional art, and even Coop the Chicken Dog's urn decoy thrown in for good measure--because you can never have too many decoys hunting divers on the mighty Mississippi River! Picking off bluebills, canvasbacks, buffleheads and occaisonal redheads from a nearby miles-long raft of divers, we sipped lukewarm coffee and solved world problems. Dyed-in-the-wool diver duck hunters Pat Gregory and Doc Leonard discuss old school Mississippi River diver hunting, describing what they most love about it, why they use hand-carved blocks, how it's about more than just ducks, and what most defines this particular waterfowling experience. Good stuff to start the New Year!

| EP 435. Sam's First Duck Hunt | 05 Jan 2024 | 01:29:41 | |
Growing up deer hunting, dove hunting and fishing with a couple brothers in West Alabama, Sara Burkhalter was just one of the boys, which we talk about in depth. Inspired by her duck hunting husband, their first black lab, and what she percieves as a dramatic shift in the way our children are being influenced by modern technology, Sara interupted her day-to-day job as a contruction company owner to write a children's book. A powerfully articulate communicator, she describes why preserving old school ways of life are important and how she hopes to accomplish that with her first and future book projects.

It's the week of Christmas. Coast to coast, north to south, everyone seems frustrated while awaiting south-bound ducks, asking themselves where in the hell are the ducks?! Is the sky falling? Do we really even have ducks? Or is the answer a little more straight forward? Waterfowl migration guru Dr. Michael Schummer explains what we're seeing--or not! Using his proprietary forecast model, he even makes a prediction for the upcoming week.

How well do ducks and geese really see--and how can understanding this make you a more effective waterfowl hunter? Dr. Bradley Cohen from Tennessee Tech explains waterfowl eyesight to Ramsey, focusing on depth perception, field of view, color discernment and rapid "refresh rates." Citing many years of in-depth research, he paints a pretty clear picture. I mean, there's a reason they sell camo long handles and face paint, huh? Waterfowl's ability to hear and smell are worth mentioning, but this episode is about clearly seeing waterfowl hunting for what it really is. Or isn't. You decide.

Saying that museums tell stories, Chesapeake Bay historian and preservationist, C. John Sullivan, takes us on a personal tour of one of the largest private collections amassed, where each artifact represents one of the most storied time periods in American waterfowling history. After a brief visit--where I actually shouldered a 22-pound, 4-gauge, side-by-side blackpowder shotgun--we talk about giant guns, specialized hunting tools, market hunter techniques, wooden decoys, famous carvers, and a completely bygone, but not yet forgotten, way of life on the fabled Chesapeake Bay.

| EP 432. Oregon Duck Hunt | 18 Dec 2023 | 01:19:36 | |
Ramsey scratches Oregon off the duck hunting list, leaving on Virginia and West Virginia remaining. He recounts his visit with host Brandon Potter, who describes waterfowl opportunities, waterfowl species, hunting styles, and what it's like living and raising family in close proximity to Portland, the most left-leaning, woke-assed city in America.
*** Correction: In Oregon, dusky geese can only legally be hunted farther east than described in this episode. The dusky goose line is east of Benton, Clackamas, Clasp, Columbia, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamoook, Washington and Yamhill counties. Simply put, east of the Cascades. ***

| EP 431. Building a World Waterfowl Collection | 14 Dec 2023 | 01:41:30 | |
Building a world waterfowl collection--and we're talking everything--is a daunting challenge. But for hunter-scientist-curator Andy Englis, it's just another day at the office. Why the collection and its importance, sure, but among the other interesting topics covered are his close-as-a-speartip encounter with a head hunting tribe and longest duck penises in the world. The things you learn, huh?!

Waterfowl geneticist, Dr. Phil Lavretsky, Ramsey and others hunting the Australia Outback for magpie geese, whistling ducks and other endemic duck species. What makes magpie geese so unique, how are they living fossils between chicken-like birds and duck-goose-swan-type waterfowl as we know them today, and what, if any, is their relationship to reptiles and dinosaurs? Describing the importance of sampling representative species worldwide to both institutional and applied sciences, Lavretsky also recalls what lead them to Australia, memorable people and week events, hunting values in Australia and elsewhere. Informative and entertaining discussion about living fossils of the bird world and more!

Three generations of Australian duck hunters--grandfather Ray, son Glenn, and granddaughter Kareena--describe their family's duck hunting traditions Down Under, emphasizing why it's important to each of them, how it has connected them to the waterfowl resource and to each other, and how they feel about its possible closure. They each share personal anti-duck hunting experiences, too! You'll likely be surprised at how familiar Australia duck hunting is to hunting in your own back yard despite their different accents from halfway across the globe.

| EP 427. Washington Sea Duck Hunting Pioneers | 30 Nov 2023 | 01:46:46 | |
Way back before trophy sea duck hunting went mainstream due to the internet and North American species contests--and in a region where the almighty mallard reigned supreme among local duck hunters--the Otto brothers began plying Washington State's Puget Sound for the beautiful waterfowl species that most duck hunters had only seen in bird books and largely ignored. Their youthful obsession spawned lifelong passion where continuously upping their own game, sharing their world with new friends, traveling throughout the United States, carving their own decoys, mounting their own birds, better learning their own backyards and refining their techniques became a lifestyle. Today, they recall many adventures then and now, and their sea duck hunting approach to life.

| EP 423. Harlequin Ducks in the Balance in Washington State | 20 Nov 2023 | 02:10:13 | |
Washington State's waterfowl resources are extremely diverse, and managing a full suite of dabblers, divers, seaducks and geese is a daunting task to say the least. The recent closure of the Harlequin duck season in Washington was extremely controversial. Washington State was for many years the only place in the continental United States that harlequin ducks could still be harvested. Prized by collectors as special trophies, it was a pretty big deal. Kyle Spragens is Washington State's waterfowl manager. We discuss why Harlequin duck season was closed, doing a deep dive into this subject, other extremely interesting species and need-to-know topics. Are Harlequins an indicator of more changes to come? Tune in to find out.

"Almost Heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River," go the John Denver lyrics. The iconic song never mentions ducks or duck hunting. For good reason. Because they're few and far between, but not impossible. State 48 was a huge, successful adventure thanks to friend Mike Smith. Following a couple eventful days duck hunting West Virginia, we crack open a couple Busch Lights, recall the weeks events, talk about his growing up and duck hunting in this off-the-beaten-flyway part of Appalachia.

| Ep 413. HuntProof | 26 Oct 2023 | 01:27:20 | |
Mornings turn into seasons turn into years, and before we know it our entire hunting lifetime--the best of times spent with family, friends and retrievers--is in our wake. I've never been one to journal hunting experiences. Until now. The new Huntproof app makes it way too simple to document harvests, species, retrieves, weather conditions, scouting reports, photos, to generate season summaries and to share with friends. Heck, it even uses my hunting data to predict where I should hunt based on past events and weather conditions! But what makes it so much better than similar apps? Is it really that simple? How might HuntProof change the way you hunt? Avid waterfowl hunters themselves, developers Nathan Marks and Steve Willi describe their inspirations for HuntProof and what all went into developing this amazing tool. I'm now personally using Huntproof worldwide, wishing I'd had it all these years, and absolutely certain that every single waterfowler out there will appreciate having it in their hip pocket.

More than just a duck hunt, these two amazing young men were our cultural interpreters among indigenous high-altitude shepherd families, exhibition bullfights and cockfights, newly discovered ruins, and roadside alpaca skinnings and beachside cafes.

| EP 411. Pacific Flyway Glory Days | 23 Oct 2023 | 01:45:50 | |
The oldest waterfowl decoys on earth were discovered in the Pacific Flyway. There are century-plus-years-old hunting clubs, and pit blind hunting may have even originated there. Bull hunting was borrowed from a traditional Mexican trick of the trade for filling up the commercial meat wagon quickly—all those gold rushers had to eat after all. Then came the goose patrols. Former US presidents broke personal records. Hollywood A-listers and famous athletes, business people from far and wide, market hunters and market-hunters-turned-professional-guides, friends and neighbors — all flocked to Pacific Flyway wetlands in pursuit of waterfowl. Waterfowl hunting led Yancey Forest-Knowles and Wayne Capooth to individually research waterfowling’s storied past such that they became foremost authorities. Today they treat listeners to a rare glimpse into the Pacific Flyway’s dramatic waterfowling history.
Related: Yancey Forest-Knowles and Wayne Capooth newest collaboration is "The Pacific Flyway: Historic Waterfowling Images." They provide contact information in today's episode.

| EP 410. From the Vault: Lynyrd Skynyrd Remembered | 20 Oct 2023 | 02:51:23 | |
On October 19, 1977, Lynyrd Skynyrd was inarguably the greatest rock band touring the USA and played what was their final concert in Greenville, South Carolina. While enroute to Baton Rouge on October 20th, their plane crashed in the remote southwest Mississippi woodlands, killing 6 passengers to include frontman Ronny Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, and backup vocalist Cassie Gaines. Decades later, their classic southern rock ballads are remembered worldwide - and everyone has a favorite Skynyrd song! Lee Kjos describes why Skynyrd remains his all-time favorite band. We then visit personally with Ronnie Van Zant's childhood friend and bodyguard, Gene Odom, and several Amite County, Mississippi locals who first responded to the crash. What was growing up in Jacksonville like for Ronnie Van Zant? How'd they develop their band name, what events inspired their lyrics, and what was it like touring with them? What kind of guy was Ronnie Van Zant and how would he likely have wanted to be remembered? What do first responders most remember about that day? What compelled them to privately fund and to recently construct a beautiful Lynyrd Skynyrd Monument nearby? Having met these guests and heard their stories, what's Ramsey's final take on it? All of these questions and some incredible never-before-told anecdotes in today's very special from-the-vault episode of Duck Season Somewhere. We received tons of feedback when this episode first aired in 2020. Turn it up.
