Skot Covert, The Duck Hunting Meteorologist

from The Standard Sportsman · host Brent Birch and Cason Short

Weather gets talked about a lot in duck circles—and for good reason. It affects everything, from breeding habitat to migration timing to what your mornings in the blind look like. On this episode of The Standard Sportsman, the guys sit down with Arkansas native, chief meteorologist, and passionate duck hunter Skot Covert to cut through the noise and talk about what’s really going on. They dig into the prolonged drought gripping much of the South, what an incoming El Niño could mean for winter, and how both may shape the season ahead. Skot also gets into why weather on social media is often overhyped, how forecasting actually works behind the scenes, and which weather apps are actually worth trusting when duck season rolls around.>>>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, The Waterfowl Management Academy, Create the X, and Ducks Unlimited.Send us Fan MailAll Rights Reserved.
