Episode #230 Big Duck Opener Recap and Listener Q&A

On this November 3 episode I break down the big duck opener from a solo kayak hide that turned into a pintail show. First frost mornings, a steady northwest wind, and plenty of birds made for a memorable hunt with Georgie working hard. I share how the sun angle and a spinner affected finishing birds, why I shifted setups mid hunt, and a quick story about an eight point buck slipping along the willows. We also tackle three listener questions from Instagram including my most dangerous moments in the marsh, when ducks are simply too high to call, and why solids have become popular alongside camo. I close with a North American Waterfowler app snapshot of the season so far and a look ahead at camp plans for next weekend. TideWe – Heated vests, coats, waders, and blinds.
