Mid-Winter Storm Front

January 09, 2025 • Brent Birch and Cason Short • Season 2 • Episode 8

A winter storm barreled through Kansas and Missouri, leaving nearly a foot of snow and prolonged below-freezing temps in its wake...but will that be enough to push ducks to Arkansas for the final few weeks of the season? Cason and Brent sift through some variables locally and in the flyway that could be a factor on just how many push south. The guys also get into some culture/community adjustments waterfowlers and brands in the industry should consider if improvements in future seasons are of value.
