Has duck hunting lost its magic--or have we just forgotten what it's really all about? I sit down with Kyle Winterstee,. lifelong waterfowl and acclaimed outdoor writer to explore the changing soul of duck hunting. Digging into nostalgia, expectations, and the social media effect, we ask whether today's hunters are chasing piles or meaning, and how we might rekindle the romance of hunting. Whether new or veteran hunter, why do we really go duck hunting in the first place?

Feeling close to God while hunting or regarding the woods and waters as church are sentiments common among many hunters--but will it get us a pass at the Pearly Gates? Jason Williams grew up duck hunting in New York and is now a correctional officer-- where things are much more different on the inside than on the out. In finding his own faith, he felt led to write "Committed to the Call: A 365-Day Waterfowl Hunter's Devotional." This conversation is raw. Honest. Uncomfortable at times--at least for me. Among other things, Jason defines what church in its biblical sense. If you've ever found solace while standing knee deep in the marsh and found solace, or wondered what it all meant while quietly watching the sunrise, you'll probably appreciate it.   Learn More--Committed to the Call: A 365-Day Waterfowl Hunter's Devotional   Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO’s Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com HuntProof Premium Waterfowl App Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 Sitka Gear SoundGear Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?

Alberta has long been a waterfowl hunter's paradise--relatively generous limits, earlier seasons, big skies and incredible species diversity. But it doesn't happen by accident.
