This week on the Midwest Flyways Podcast, the guys sit down with Mike Anderson of Anderson Championship Calls to talk duck calls, contest calling, waterfowl hunting, and where the sport is headed.
Mike shares what the first few months of building his call company have looked like, from designing and tuning calls to selling out colors at shows and getting feedback from hunters across the country. He also talks about the people who helped him along the way and why decades in the calling world gave him a head start when it came time to build something of his own.
The conversation eventually turns to the bigger picture of waterfowl hunting. Mike reflects on hunting through the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s, the explosion of spinning-wing decoys, changing migration patterns, habitat loss, warmer winters, and why he believes hunting pressure deserves more attention.
The guys also debate flooded corn, public land pressure, drain tile, conservation organizations, and whether some major Minnesota waters should have afternoon shutdowns to give ducks more time to rest. Mike's point is simple: if hunters want things to improve, the answer probably isn't doing the exact same thing we've always done.
