DuckFellas Podcast

Welcome to DuckFellas Podcast Episode 40: A fast-paced recap of a scorching opening weekend, late-night boat rides, motorized decoy tests, and the new "Coot Wars" competition. Hosts share hunting highlights, scouting mishaps, rules and prizes for the coot contest, motion-decoy insights, travel plans for big hunts, banding data, and plenty of behind-the-scenes banter.

Episode 39 of the DuckFellas podcast gears up for opening day with the crew discussing scouting, high water levels, and an unexpected heat wave. They introduce a season-long “Coot Wars” competition, debate cormorant management, and share trailer and gear updates. The hosts trade hunting stories, community news (including a fundraiser for an injured caller), lineup commitments, and plenty of banter — a quick, entertaining look at the start of waterfowl season.

This episode of the Duckfellas Podcast (episode 38) covers a weekend of preparing trailers and blinds, a clay shooting get-together, and dealing with soggy weather. The Fellas discuss trailer upgrades (vinyl, lighting, solar), decoy storage options, brushing blinds, and plans for a future event. They also talk about the upcoming youth opener, hunting predictions, calling tips, funny behind-the-scenes moments, and bets on who will sleep through hunts.

In Episode 37 the Duck Fellas catch up on a wet September, prep boats and trailers for duck season, and debate water-level plans that could change the hunt. They talk youth hunts, new filming plans, local economic impacts from hunting regulations, and a community meetup and cookout while swapping hunting stories and gear fixes. Expect talk of high water levels, DNR strategies, non-resident hunting limits, and last-minute grind to get blinds and gear ready for a big season ahead.

Zach and Tyler trade hunting stories — from hot dove scratches and a chaotic decoy spills to a productive goose hunt and the dog’s first-day excitement — while sharing laughs and behind-the-scenes moments. The episode focuses on alarming duck-population numbers, species trends, and the contentious discussion around adaptive harvest rules (30-3 seasons), CRP payments, and the role of habitat loss and politics in conservation. They also cover regional license limits for non-residents, a recent YouTube takedown, mosquito problems and dragonfly predators, and urge listeners to get involved and share feedback with wildlife agencies.
