The Voice of the Duck Hunter – A Delta Waterfowl Podcast
Welcome to The Voice of the Duck Hunter — the official podcast of Delta Waterfowl, the Duck Hunters Organization. Each episode dives deep into the world of duck hunting, wetland conservation, and the people driving the future of waterfowling.
From prairie potholes to Capitol Hill, we share stories and insights from biologists, policy leaders, gear experts, and dedicated hunters who live for migration. Discover how research, habitat conservation, duck production tools, and smart policies keep ducks flying — and why your voice as a duck hunter is more important than ever.
Tune in for:
-Waterfowl population trends and breeding-ground science
-Habitat restoration and conservation policy breakdowns
-Gear innovation, retriever training, and hunting strategy
-Hunter recruitment and education (First Hunt, University Hunting Program)
-Conversations from the marsh — stories, heritage, and community
Whether you’re chasing ducks in the prairies, pursuing divers along the coast, hunting them in southern timber, or just a passionate waterfowl enthusiast, this show connects the science and stories that make healthy duck populations and duck hunting possible.
Subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, or wherever you listen — and join the movement that uses science-based solutions to produce ducks, conserve prairie wetlands, and ensure the future of waterfowl hunting.

Ep. 105 | Why Every Duck Hunter Needs Hearing Protection | Wes Christ of SoundGear
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Every shotgun blast leaves a lasting impact on your hearing—but it doesn't have to.
In this episode of The Voice of the Duck Hunter, Wes Christ of SoundGear joins us to explain why hearing protection is one of the most overlooked pieces of gear a duck hunter can own. We discuss how repeated shotgun blasts damage hearing, how SoundGear's technology not only protects your ears but actually enhances your ability to hear in the field, and why preserving your hearing today matters for seasons to come.
We also thank SoundGear for its continued support of Delta Waterfowl and The Voice of the Duck Hunter podcast.
