This week our friend Chris Paddack joins the show. Chris is a pitcher for the Minnesota Twins and the owner of Mad Duck Outfitters, a waterfowl guide service based in Texas. Chris is passionate about others experiencing the outdoors and one of his goals is to push athletes from all levels and all sports to get outside and experience hunting and fishing. We talk about his experience so far starting a guide service and his plans beyond baseball. We also chat life, and especially life as a professional athlete.

This week we’ve been hunting in Canada and things have been a little tougher than expected. With extremely warm temperatures and a full moon lighting up the night sky we’ve been fighting these ducks all week long. When the moon is full what tactics do you use to be more successful hunting? We go through some of our thoughts on the situation. Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!

Cal and Carter sit down for a podcast fresh off the first Vikings loss of the year. The Chiefs are looking worse than ever and still know how to beat anyone, anytime. Which is a scary deal for the rest of the NFL. We also talk Deshaun Watson’s injury and what the Raiders are going to do now with O’Connell out. Are there any teams that could use Bryce Young or is he just done? Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!

The boys are packing up and heading north for a trip with some good friends and we couldn’t be more excited. Cal and Carter talk about Canada and what we’re looking forward to most about the trip. We also talk about how to go to Canada and what you can do to be prepared for the trip. We draft best months of the year and go through a few listener questions we’ve gotten a lot of.

This week on Ten Minute Tuesday we thought it would be a good idea to break down a few different scenarios and what decoy setups we would use in those situations. Of course, this isn’t a perfect science but it might give you an idea of our thought process. You can always mix and match decoys and you don’t need brand new top of the line decoys to be successful in the field. Let us know what you want to hear another TMT about!

This week we have a lot of discussion about who actually knows ball in this room. Gavin and Carter practically compare Bo Nix to the best quarterback that ever lived, bringing into question their sanity (which was already in question). We also talk about Caleb Williams’ rough start and we talk about the current NFL standings. Also, are the Vikings the best team in football right now? Nobody expected this from Sam Darnold.

This week Cal and Gavin talk about dog training for hunting including some basic do’s and dont’s especially if you have a new puppy like Gavin does. With his new hunting buddy still learning and growing we thought it would be a good time to review some things you should know before getting a hunting dog and what you should expect to have to do to take that dog to a new level. We also do a crazy “Say Whatttt?!” segment and list our bucket list hunting destinations. Don’t miss it! Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!

It’s October and it’s been some slower hunting lately. Each year during October we go through a period where we just don’t have a lot of birds quite yet and the weather can be less than cooperative. Hard to shoot birds in 75 degree weather in October. Cal and Carter talk about what you can do during the slow part of your season at home to make things more interesting and fun. From new spreads and hides to out of the box ideas, it’s time to shake things up. Thanks for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!

Joey is fresh off his trip to New York and Gavin is planning out his year. The boys sit down to recap what they’ve been up to lately, including traveling to hunt and what things have been like around home in Minnesota. It’s been hot and we need some cold weather to push new birds into the states. We also talk a bit about growing up hunting deer with lots of people thinking about deer season right around the corner!
