Midwest Flyways Podcast

This week we’re lucky to host Matt Rustad and Mike Stelzner from C&S Custom Calls. Mike is a world champion call maker and he shares about his beginnings in making calls and the path he’s taken to get to where he is. We also talk about Bruce, a turkey built for longevity and Matt and Mike’s recent fun going live on TikTok while turkey hunting. We ask Mike about the different awards and trophies he’s won over the years making custom calls and the difference between the mainstream call market and the custom call market. Mike also shares his thoughts on the change in pro staff numbers and why it isn’t as big of a thing anymore. Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!

This week we recap the absolute insanity in the NBA playoffs including why all the higher ranked home teams lost their opening series games. We talk the Knicks handling the reigning champs in Boston going up 2-0 in that series and also pay respects to the crazy basketball games happening in Cleveland where the Pacers handled business going up big on the Cavs despite their insane regular season. Special topic: maybe Maradona could still be alive after all? There’s currently a trial happening in Argentina that will shed some light on what actually happened.

This week we ponder the age old question: do DNR officers actually like hunters or are they hoping we stop hunting completely? We talk about where the money from fines and tickets goes, experiences with DNR officers and the differing treatment you’ll receive. We also discuss some recent duck hunting news including the newest DNR proposal of a later season in southern Minnesota, something we’ve been pushing for statewide for a while now. We wrap up with a new season of Say What?! Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!
