This week on the Midwest Flyways Podcast, Joey discovers that his new duck blind may have worked a little too well.
After leaving the fully brushed-in blind sitting in a pond for less than two weeks, Joey returned to find a muskrat had mistaken it for prime real estate and started building an actual lodge in it. What started as a funny story quickly turned into Joey digging through piles of wet cattails, worrying about mites, fleas, ticks, and whatever else might have moved in with it.
The guys also talk about the strange state of the migration in Minnesota. Duck numbers have been inconsistent, geese are showing up in bigger numbers, and some traditional areas have been slow.
Cal recaps one of his best hunts of the season, where groups of mallards poured into a freshly harvested cornfield and an eight-man group eventually finished their birds. Joey also shares a public land hunt with a couple younger hunters, including accidentally running into someone he'd taken to the same spot two years earlier.
The crew wraps things up talking duck bands, an upcoming North Dakota trip, and a few more stories from hunting season.
