Having used Benelli shotguns since the mid-90s because of their utter reliability and superior performance, their continued innovations continue to amaze. Benelli's Senior Product Manager, Brett Maffet, is a long-time waterfowl hunter and living his dream by working in the outdoor industry. We do a deep dive into Benelli shotguns past and present, cycling through need-to-know topics like various Benelli shotgun platforms, differences between Benelli shotgun models, sub-gauge popularity, new advanced impact system (A.I.) that significantly improves patterns and energy as shot moves downrange, recoil reduction, the 828U shotgun and its new steel receiver, availability of left-handed shotguns, and much more. Whether shopping for a new boom stick or just wanting to know more about state-of-the-art waterfowling shotguns, you'll find this discussion extremely informative.

Grizzly bears, wild sheep, bison, elk, white-tailed bucks, waterfowl--we all have outdoor dreams. But South Carolina-based Outdoor Dream Foundation is making outdoor dreams reality for youths facing some of life's toughest challenges. "It gives them light at the end of the tunnel, something to live for," one of today's guests says. Disappointed that similar foundations were not granting firearms- and hunting-related wishes, they decided to do something about it. ODF members Leroy Martin, Richard Cranes, and Skip Still share some favorite memories of past recipients, proving that the best way to help oneself is to help others. Whether you're a parent or not, you'll appreciate today's heart-felt stories.

Fifth-generation Florida native Travis Thompson was born-and-raised Florida duck hunting. In the absence of mallards, their mainstays are blue-winged teal, Florida mottled ducks, whistling ducks, and--of course--ring-necked ducks, which are discussed in depth along with local hunting traditions, gators and cattle, where and how ducks are hunted. "But when you're not at the table, you're on the menu," says Thompson, pivoting to the rapid loss of wintering habitat and hunting rights in Florida. Beyond Disney and Miami, an entirely other Florida exists. But for how much longer?

For Larry White, an interest in cooking began as simply as being around grandmother's kitchen, and while he learned a lot of techniques in the military it wasn't until afterwards that a passion for crafting wild game dishes emerged. His interesting takes on carpaccio, prosciutto, wild turkey, wild ham, fish and other favorite spins are discussed, but check out his The Wild Gourmet Blog for more.

Raised a 4th-generation northeast Arkansas public land duck hunter, Maggie Williams says the first girl her daddy ever even saw in the woods was the 10 year-old daughter he'd brought along himself. Treated just like one of the boys, the rest was history. A genuine duck hunter--that just happened to be a girl--was born on the spot. Maggie Williams describes growing up hunting Arkansas public dirt, how beauty pageants enabled her insatiable high school duck hunting appetite while teaching valuable life skills, and how the combined effects shaped her life. We get into nitty gritty topics, too, to include a growing hate culture among public land hunters, Arkansas public land hunting ettiquette, coping with public land crowds, the backlash of being a woman hunter, the need for role models, why representation matters, and how people from different walks of life bond through a shared love for duck hunting. And then we get into the whole turkey hunting thing!

Cutting his teeth in Oregon, Shawn Swearingen--that's spelled like the guy in Deadwood series, he says--migrated to the outskirts of DC, where the hunting is in some ways different but in many ways similar. Besides a legislative career, he makes duck calls and, like a ravenous honker in a plowed corn field, roots out interesting then-and-now hunting and fishing stories as an outdoor writer.

During Australia's duck season "circus," anti-hunters will flare your birds, paddle through your decoys and film your kids, reports Outdoor Life Executive Editor, Natalie Krebs. Having heard about the duck hunting battleground that is Australia, she went to see for herself. She was there during the most recent duck season opener. And while Kreb's first-hand accounts may seem otherworldly to us made-in-American duck hunters, she describes how it may not be nearly as far away as we'd like to think.

In a place where duck hunts are marketed using every superlative ever invented, "best Argentina duck hunt" may seem exaggerated. It's not. The proof is in a decade-and-a-half worth of happy clients. The 2024 season was crazy weather wise, too, going abruptly from record-high, mosquito-swatting weather to bone-chilling, ice-stomping temperatures. But the hits just kept on coming. Repeat and first-time guests from throughout the season tell what they'll remember most about their Las Flores Argentina duck hunt.

Born and raised hunting and fishing in northeast Mississippi, John Blake Riddle has lived a charmed life. Avoiding "the real world" at all costs, he's been a quail guide, duck guide, bird dog trainer to the rich and famous, shooting instructor--for starts--and has a successful crappie jig company called the Little Riddle. He'd rather hunt big water divers or crappie fish from the world's fastest layout boat--and we're talking 102 mph--that he describes in great detail. But here came the real world when, of all things, he made a Tik Tok post about a year ago, insta-famously becoming an overnight celebrity boasting many millions of views of him just naturally just being himself. What a crazy world we live in! Let us know your thoughts and comments below.

Typical of late-July Baton Rouge, between-thunderstorms humidity visibly hung in the air like a warm, wet blanket. Not that anyone cared. Because walking through the convention halls was as exciting as opening day at duck camp, the energy palpable, like walking into a big ol' happy reunion of birds-of-a-feather-flock-together new and old friends swapping stories and sorting their lockers with the latest-greatest gear--happy, smiling duck hunters and their families everywhere. Meet some of them, hear who they are, how duck hunting inspired them to build better mouse traps, and what attracted them to Delta Waterfowl Expo from throughout the US and from even half-way across the world. Who knows--maybe you'll even plan on joining us in Oklahoma City next year!

"We raise weeds, most folks try to grow corn," says renowned wildlife biologist and Arkansas Waterfowler Hall of Fame, Jody Pagan, who among other things has so far laid hands on over a million acres private-lands waterfowl habitat during his career!

Landowners, managers, club members, and duck hunters in general--everyone will appreciate the insightful, hard-eared perspectives shared today. Listen and let us know your thoughts below.

Ducks, doves, decoying pigeons, perdiz, and optional golden dorado fishing--what's not to love about this Argentina duck hunting combo if you're an ardent, trigger-pulling hunter? On top of all that, an amazingly immersive, oftentimes belt-stretching, cultural experience starting in big-city Buenos Aires and going deep into rural Argentina. But is it really a fun vacation for non-hunting spouses? Following an action-packed week, hear what the hunters, non-hunters and hosts had to say about it. (Hint hint, this hunt sells out well in advance--and the couples trip ain't growing in popularity on accident).

Public Service Announcement: Guides, outfitters, freelancers--everyone--traveling to hunt outside the United States need to be aware that new Center for Disease Control (CDC) rules change the requirements for importing your retriever back into the United States! Canada's the biggie. If you are bringing a dog to the U.S., starting on August 1, 2024, there are new steps you need to take. These steps depend on where your dog has been in the past 6 months. Ira McCauley explains requirements (as of July 20, 2024) and what you need to know to prepare for the upcoming season.

Special Note-- there has been tremendous public and political backlash these new insane requirements. They are fluidly changing on the fly. Within a few days of the recording, they'd already changed some rulings and will likely change again. Keep yourself current and be aware that these rulings--whatever they become--will be interpreted differently among various border crossings!
