Have You Seen the Glimmer Man? | DU Halloween Special, Episode 2
Saison 1
vendredi 23 octobre 2026 • Durée 59:17
What would you do if an invisible figure leapt through the trees above your stand? If you told anybody, they might say you're crazy! Or maybe they've seen it too...
Kyle Philson and Cam Hale of Expanded Perspectives Podcast join Ducks Unlimited’s Wade Shoemaker and Lake Pickle of onX to explore the Glimmer Man: a transparent, human-shaped figure described by hunters and other witnesses around the world. What began with two similar reports grew into an archive of hundreds of stories, collected for you in a new Glimmer Man book. Expanded Perspectives is giving away 10 autographed copies free of charge; use the approved entry link and official rules below.
The group follows one of its most unsettling accounts as the woods fall silent, a watchman-like figure clambers through the treetops, and two hunters realize they had the same encounter with the unknown. Then the conversation turns to Not Deer, the Crossett Light, three orbs circling an Arkansas duck blind, and a 300-pound hog pulled off in the night without a trace.
Building a successful brand at 19 years old isn’t easy. Building one around creativity and authenticity is even harder.
Recorded live at DUX 2026, host Matt Harrison sits down with Colton Patterson, founder of Broken Bow, to discuss art, country music, entrepreneurship, and the creative journey that turned a niche social media page into one of the most recognizable brands in outdoor and country culture.
Colton shares how posting artwork inspired by old country music, hunting magazines, and rural traditions eventually led to a rapidly growing audience, partnerships with major artists, and a full-time creative career. The conversation explores the challenges of building a business at a young age, the importance of staying authentic, and why passion has to come before success.
Along the way, Colton talks about his love for duck hunting, growing up in Tennessee and Alabama, songwriting, social media, and the influence of family, mentors, and outdoor traditions on the work he creates today.

Jay breaks down the recent weather systems that brought gale-force winds to the Great Lakes, how those conditions influenced duck and goose movement, and why hunters are seeing strong goose flights, increasing numbers of divers, and encouraging signs from locally produced mallards. The conversation also explores habitat conditions across the region, fall fishing opportunities, and why the Great Lakes remain one of North America's most overlooked outdoor destinations.

New Jersey to the Duck Blind: Christian Zeron’s Outdoor Journey (Ep 818)
What happens when someone with no hunting background discovers the outdoors for the first time at 30 years old?
Recorded live from DUX 2026, host Matt Harrison sits down with Christian Zeron, along with Austin Collins of the Quack Shack Podcast, to discuss hunting, conservation, culture, and why the outdoors has had such a profound impact on his life.
Christian shares how a lifelong fascination with outdoor culture eventually led him into duck hunting, turkey hunting, and conservation. Coming from New Jersey with little exposure to hunting traditions, he describes what it was like stepping into a completely new world and discovering a community that welcomed him with open arms. Along the way, the conversation explores regional stereotypes, public perceptions of hunting, the value of conservation organizations, and why protecting wildlife habitat is a responsibility that transcends politics and geography.
The discussion also highlights the role podcasts, social media, and personal relationships play in introducing new people to hunting and helping them understand the conservation mission behind it.

The Hunting Industry Runs on Relationships (Ep 817)
The best partnerships in the outdoor industry aren't built at trade shows—they're built in duck blinds, dove fields, and places where people have time to connect.
In this freestyle episode of the Ducks Unlimited Podcast, Wade Shoemaker sits down at Honey Brake Lodge with Parker Amos (Duck Commander/Buck Commander), Brett Maffet (Benelli USA), and Stephen Findley (Vertical Marketing) for an unscripted conversation about hunting, business, authenticity, and the people who shape the outdoor industry.
What starts as a recap of a partner retreat quickly turns into a conversation about career paths, outdoor media, faith, mentorship, and the relationships that often matter more than the brands themselves. The group shares stories from dove hunts, private flights, Honey Brake experiences, and even a few reflections on Phil Robertson, Si Robertson, and the impact Duck Commander has had on modern hunting culture.
More than anything, this episode highlights why genuine relationships continue to drive an industry built around shared experiences outdoors.
Topics Covered

Expanded Perspectives: Bigfoot, Hunting Camps & Keeping an Open Mind (Ep 816)
If you've ever heard something strange in the woods and wondered what it was, you're not alone.
Recorded live from DUX 2026, host Wade Shoemaker sits down with Cam Hale and Kyle Philson of the Expanded Perspectives Podcast to talk about hunting, outdoor traditions, unexplained encounters, and the stories that often come from time spent deep in the woods.
The conversation explores how Expanded Perspectives grew from a small podcast into one of the largest platforms dedicated to strange encounters and listener-submitted stories. Along the way, Cam and Kyle discuss the origins of the "Glimmer Man" phenomenon, mysterious experiences reported by hunters, Bigfoot sightings, and why so many outdoor stories begin in the darkness before daylight.
Just as importantly, the discussion focuses on curiosity, keeping an open mind, and understanding that not every outdoor experience has an easy explanation. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, this episode is a fascinating look at the stories hunters share when the hunt is over.
Migration is in full swing across the prairies, and the reports coming from the heart of waterfowl country are encouraging.
Dr. Mike Brasher, DU's Senior Waterfowl Scientist, sits down with John Pollmann, DU Migration Alert Editor, to discuss the latest habitat conditions, migration activity, and hunting success across Prairie Canada and the northern United States.
Good water and strong bird numbers have hunters enjoying consistent success across much of Prairie Canada, while drier conditions on the U.S. prairies have led to more scattered birds and uneven hunting. Mike and John discuss the latest migration activity and what current conditions could mean for hunters farther down the flyway.
Topics Covered
Current habitat and hunting conditions across Prairie Canada
How abundant rainfall improved wetland conditions and waterfowl habitat
Reports of strong migrations of mallards, whitefronts, snow geese, and other species
Why Canadian prairie hunters are experiencing consistent success this fall

Unexplained Encounters From Hunters and Anglers | DU Halloween Special, Episode 1
Saison 1
vendredi 9 octobre 2026 • Durée 59:21
What would make someone leave camp, sell every piece of hunting and fishing gear he owned—and never go back?
Cam Hale and Kyle Philson of Expanded Perspectives join Ducks Unlimited’s Wade Shoemaker and Lake Pickle from onX for a DU Halloween special filled with unsettling stories from hunters, anglers and people who spend time beyond the pavement.
The group follows accounts of a hog apparently crushed against a tree, small figures carrying a rabbit through the Arkansas woods, a hunting bag that returned on its own, missing hunters, black panther sightings and six strange figures beside Bloody Creek. They also ask an important question: when does an unexplained encounter have an ordinary answer, and when does it change the way someone sees the woods forever?
Winning the Junior Duck Stamp Contest changed Madison Grimm’s life. Now she’s helping save hundreds of ducks...
Host Katie Burke is joined by wildlife artists Adam Grimm and Madison Grimm during the Federal Duck Stamp Contest to discuss art, conservation, and how a childhood passion for painting ducks led to one of the most unique waterfowl projects in the country.
The conversation begins with the Duck Stamp Contest and the challenges artists face when competing at the highest level. From there, Madison shares the remarkable story behind Second Chance Flight, a nonprofit that rescues duck eggs and ducklings displaced during farming operations across the Prairie Pothole Region. What started with a backyard aviary has grown into a conservation effort involving farmers, wildlife agencies, researchers, banding projects, and even GPS-equipped ducks helping answer important scientific questions.
This episode is equal parts art, conservation, and innovation—and a reminder that one person’s passion can create real impact for waterfowl.
