What's Stirring This Spring

from The Standard Sportsman · host Brent Birch and Cason Short

Duck season may be in the rearview and the clocks may have sprung forward, but the forces shaping future seasons are anything but quiet. From a struggling farm economy and tensions abroad to legislation on Capitol Hill and some thorny cultural conversations closer to home, there’s plenty happening that could ripple through the waterfowl world. The guys unpack it all, and with the recent passing of Cason’s father-in-law, he reflects on the deeper connections duck hunting can forge between generations, family, and the memories that last long after the season ends.>>>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.
