This week on Sports Guyz Only, we try to make sense of who exactly the Giants plan to start at QB and make bets on whether or not certain coaches and gm’s will lose their jobs after this season. We also talk March Madness, which hasn’t had as much madness as we’re used to this year and it’s got us wondering why. We discuss whether NIL or the transfer portal are partially to blame. Cal eats his take on Saint John’s winning it all and we break down coaching hires around the college basketball world. Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!

This week on the podcast the boys are feeling the off season itch. It’s that time of year and the hunters are officially losing it a little bit. Snow goose hunters are arguing all over the internet and we’re here for it. We also talk a bit about the new studio, and do a Say What segment. We wrap things up talking about what everyone needs to do to help school in the younger generations of hunters and show them the way we do it now as well as the way the older generations did it. Giving a full perspective to the history and methods of waterfowl hunting makes us all better hunters. Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!

Waterfowl Taxidermy
Tuesday Mar 04, 2025
Tuesday Mar 04, 2025
This week we talk a little bit about waterfowl taxidermy. If you’ve ever mounted a prize bird then you know there are differing prices and skill levels of taxidermists. Some have many years of practice while others are just getting started. That doesn’t always mean one is better than the other especially if someone specializes in waterfowl or focuses only on bird taxidermy. We discuss the difficulty of taxidermy and what makes the greats so good. Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!
