Episode #269 Why Ducks Get Smarter Every Season w/Ben Meyers

Contact Elliott: [email protected] Get More Content: patreon.com/freelanceduckhunting This episode starts off all over the map in the best way possible. Elliott and Ben Meyers talk Royals baseball, shotgun issues, pattern testing, Flight Day Ammo loads, and why educated ducks become nearly impossible to finish late in the season. Ben breaks down why certain loads outperform others, the differences between 20 gauge and 12 gauge setups, and what he learned after switching back from bismuth to steel. The conversation then shifts into private land duck management, flooded corn, refuge systems, duck pressure, and how heavily hunted birds adapt to survive. Ben also shares details about a brand new blind project going in on one of their favorite timber holes and explains how years of water management can slowly “imprint” ducks onto a property. If you enjoy deep waterfowl conversation mixed with real hunting experience and honest opinions, this is a fun one.
