The guys will discuss days afield, waterfowl conservation, and stewardship with the goal of leaving the sport of duck and goose hunting better than they found it.

Five Stages of the Hunter-Easter Replay Edition
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Originally aired in October of 2024, the hosts break down the classic, research-backed framework known as the “Five Stages of the Hunter”, a model that explains how a hunter’s motivations and mindset evolve over time. Originally developed by behavioral scientists in the 1970s, the concept is still widely taught in hunter education today.
Drawing from personal experience, the hosts walk through each stage and reflect on how their own hunting careers have progressed, sharing stories that highlight the changing definition of success in the field.
