This was a fun one! We introduced a new segment we are going to call "Flyway Flashback." Each week we will take an old post from forums back in the day and discuss the topic they were talking about. We kicked it off with an interesting one from 2005 where they talked about what the future of waterfowling might hold. Tune in to see if they were right on track with their predictions 20 years ago!
