We spent this episode chatting about the things that we feel make a well-rounded waterfowler and how that can be different from a "hardcore" waterfowler.By Phil Kahnke

In this episode my goal was to try and make calling ducks easier for a new or beginning duck hunter (goose hunter also). As we got going we realized we had to sprinkle in other parts of our experiences that help describe all of the various situations and we found ourselves thinking how important each little variable was/is.…

About 16-17 years ago, I met the guest of this episode in a pit at Tim Ground's hunt club. We had been chatting over the past few weeks about doing a podcast and oddly we picked the day right after Tim's untimely passing.

While I was headed to Anoka, MN for Game Fair I made a pit stop to my friend Rick Stawki's house to sit down with him and Shawn Stahl to record a podcast.

This was a fun episode to record because Doug understands so well how deeply duck hunting can affect a person's soul...that may sound a bit deep but he's one of the guys that when you start describing how you feel when a flock of ducks or geese lock up on you, you won't even need to finish because you'll see that he gets it completely.
