Ducks Over Drama: Picking the Right Fight
In an era when unity could be our greatest asset, duck hunters seem increasingly divided not just over tactics but also over identity, ethics, and access. In this thought-provoking episode, Brent and Cason unpack the growing tensions within the waterfowling community and where that energy could be better spent.
Some of these debates carry weight, while others are rooted more in opinion than impact. From public vs. private land access to gear choices and regional rivalries, the hosts explore the key issues fueling division and, more importantly, challenge listeners to consider the bigger picture.
This episode is a timely call for collaboration over competition because the true measure of a waterfowler isn’t where or by what method they hunt, but how they contribute to the future of the sport.
