EP 676. Mazatlan Duck Hunting in a Mexican Minute

Duck Season Somewhere

In Mexico, a minute isn't 60 seconds. It's a mindset. Especially during the ." Sitting down around a lively swimming pool with happy hunters and smiling wives, we talk about their experiences between rounds of salted-rim margaritas, ice cold cervezas, various chips and dips--fantastic shooting, better company, and a pace of life that feels a whole lot different than home.

And somewhere between it all, you...

EP 667. Texas Waterfowl History: Finding the Voices (Part 1)

Duck Season Somewhere

Texas waterfowl history doesn't live in regulations or record books--it exists among old timers sitting in kitchens, truck seats, coffee shops and duck blinds. In Part 1 of this 2-part series, historian Rob Sawyer shares how he tracked down the been-there-done-that yesteryear hunters who shaped Texas duck hunting and convinced them to tell their stories before they were lost.
