Joey and Cal fire things up with a great debate this week about band hunting. We debate whether or not it’s okay to be out hunting birds specifically looking for and waiting for bands. We also touch on guys that travel to different locations just in the hopes of shooting bands. Then we draft our favorite hunt day feelings. Pretty much any feeling you get on the day of a hunt before or after. Life’s been a little crazy lately as well so we chat a bit about what’s new and what has all happened in our lives since waterfowl season ended.
