Lee Kjos-What Really Matters

Iconic North American waterfowler and legendary outdoor photographer Lee Kjos joins the show, carrying with him a lifetime of sunrises, wingbeats, and miles traveled beneath open skies. From the disappearing prairie potholes of Saskatchewan to the river bottoms of Missouri, Kjos shares what he’s seen this past season and the realities of duck hunting's struggles.His reflections are honest and, at times, sobering, but they are also rooted in a deep love for wild places and the birds that bind us together across flyways and seasons. From Minnesota’s northern marshes to Louisiana’s coastal plains, and everywhere in between, Kjos speaks to what truly matters if we hope to keep the heartbeat of duck hunting alive.With the quiet wisdom of someone who has watched both abundance and decline, he offers heartfelt guidance, especially for the next generation, a reminder that the future of our traditions depends on how fiercely we choose to love, protect, and prioritize habitat and ducks today.>>>Thanks to our sponsors: Tom Beckbe, Lile Real Estate, Perfect Limit Outdoors, Purina Pro Plan, Sitka Gear, Greenhead: The Arkansas Duck Hunting Magazine, Noah Perry-Raymond James, and Ducks Unlimited.Send us Fan MailAll Rights Reserved.
