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!

This week we wanted to answer a common listener question: when you’re just starting out, how do you ID birds in the air especially in low light situations? We discuss and consider all of the different things you can see and hear that will give you an indication of what birds are about to drop into the decoys. When you first start out all of the little things aren’t quite as obvious. With more time in the field, you start to notice little things and patterns that help you over time.

Well well well, Shedeur Sanders slid in the draft a lot further than anybody expected and we’re here to discuss it. Should he really have gone as late as he did? What do you think these teams were thinking taking Gabriel and Milroe ahead of Shedeur? We also talk about the most disrespected team in the NBA, the Timberwolves. Every TV analyst didn’t see this coming for a second. What do they really know? Maybe not ball. Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!

This week on Ten Minute Tuesday, we talk about stale birds and how to put yourself in the best position to be successful. Ducks and geese can get to a point in the year where they’ve kind of seen what you’ve been doing and are acting accordingly. These birds won’t commit, won’t come out to play, and won’t seem to do what you want them to do no matter the day. There’s no perfect method here, so we discuss our thoughts on how to stand out from the rest and give yourself a chance at fooling stale birds.
