Battle Born Duckers
Join Ron Stoker and Brian Burris on their journey to help others get outdoors through hunting, fishing and conservation projects. From the duck blind to the bass pond and everywhere in between, we will follow first time hunters and fishermen as we take them on their first hunting or fishing trip. We will share the ups and downs of the hunt and hear a few great stories along the way. So take a minute and step into the duck blind with us for this fun and hopefully educational ride.
