This week we wanted to touch on something that’s been extremely hard to navigate for a lot of waterfowl hunters across the country: bird transporting. When you go hunting, whether in your own state or while on a trip to a different state or even Canada, there are specific laws about how to transport your birds legally. We discuss whether or not the current laws are actually promoting wanton waste. We also test Carter and Cal’s basic knowledge and talk about some other relevant hunting situations.

This week we’re discussing the current state of the NFL which seems to be as competitive as ever. We talk about the runway a young quarterback actually needs to get themselves acclimated to the pace of play and style of the NFL and if we’re cutting these guys off too early? With examples like Darnold and Baker it’s hard to think we don’t overreact to a players development. We also talk Caleb Williams, Jaden Daniels and some other young g guys that have impressed.

We recorded this podcast on Wednesday before Jaxson Dart decided he was really ready to play some high level football. That said, guys needs to chill on the chain he’s wearing that’s worth more than our houses on the field. We also talk the rest of the league, overachievers and underperformers. Turns out this is all very confusing and it seems the NFL is more competitive than ever. Your thoughts? Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!

This week we’re all up to our usual sh*t, talking that smack to each other as we have just completed a quarter of the NFL season. We ponder who’s to blame for the issue surrounding certain teams and what we think will happen to some teams that have shocked us so far. There might be a few frauds in the NFL but we’re pretty sure it’s not the Lions. Even though Carter somehow still won’t agree. We make predictions for teams going forward and talk about how some of the young guys have progressed or regressed. Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!

This week we have a special episode for you guys coming to you from the Ducks Unlimited Expo in Memphis, TN. We were invited to guest host an episode of the DUX livestream while we spent the weekend in Memphis with friends and we were lucky enough to be joined by two extremely educated individuals in Dr. Steve Adair and Dr. Jerad Henson. We decided the best way to keep it real with these guys was to ask the hard hitting questions that waterfowl hunters can’t quite figure out. We talk about survey results, waterfowl migration, breeding and so much more. These guys have a lot of great information surrounding waterfowl and we had a blast getting to talk with them.

This week we wanted to talk about a crazy story we were sent about the ducks in Green Bay. Apparently, the water has become so tainted that the DNR is advising people not to eat their harvested ducks in that area. We also found other articles about different places that are also saying to limit your consumption of wild duck meat. What a crazy deal. Have you seen or heard of anything like this?
