The Standard Sportsman
Lifelong Arkansas waterfowlers Brent Birch and Cason Short discuss duck hunting's past, present, and future with various thought-provoking leaders in the duck-hunting community. 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.
Presented by Yeti, Tom Beckbe, Lile Real Estate, Sitka Gear, Purina Pro Plan, and Ducks Unlimited.

Rules, Regs & Reality: A Late Spring Update
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Planting season’s here, but so is a lingering drought that won’t let go. The guys talk tough conditions in the southern flyway, brighter signs from the breeding grounds, and how it all ties together. They also tackle the growing role of politics in wildlife decisions and walk through key 2026–2027 regulation changes, including a controversial non-resident ban at Dave Donaldson Black River WMA, plus a few notes from Kansas and Minnesota.
