  Hunt Your Own Hunt: Scouting, Hides and Honest Expectations | Brian Halbleib

  Sep 24, 202659 min

  Tired of scrolling past piles of dead ducks on Instagram while your own season comes up short? Brian Halbleib, host of The Migration Waterfowl Podcast, has a fix: hunt your own hunt. Brian hunts half of Pennsylvania's duck season plus six road trips a year, mostly on public land. He explains why your hide matters more than your duck calling, how scouting seven hours for one hour of hunting produced 3 limits of blue-winged teal, and why open water holds mallards late in the season. Plus: river gauges for scouting, real expectations for weekend warriors, and what duck hunting social media never shows you.

  Strongest El Niño Since 1950: What It Actually Means For Duck Season | Chance Gotsch

  Sep 10, 20261h 5m

  Chance GMeteorologist Chance Gotsch breaks down what the strongest El Niño since 1950 means for the 2026–27 duck season. NOAA's Climate Prediction Center has it at a greater than 90% chance of going "very strong." Chance reads the seasonal outlook maps — warmer across the Great Lakes, the Dakotas and western Canada, drier through Missouri, Arkansas and the Atlantic Flyway — and answers what every waterfowler is asking: does El Niño stall the duck migration? Also in this episode: why snow moves mallards and cold doesn't, how to read wind direction straight off a pressure system, what barometric pressure actually tells you, why your weather app is solid on temperature and unreliable on rain, and how to spot a clickbait polar vortex forecast.

  2026 Duck Breeding Survey: The Numbers Are In

  Sep 3, 202639 min

  Matt and Tyler dig into the numbers the US Fish & Wildlife Service just dropped: the 2026 Waterfowl Breeding Population Survey. Mallards, teal, and pintail are all down from last year, but the pond count is up 14% and North Dakota broods jumped 55% — so what does it actually mean for this fall's hunting? Plus: a recap of the Waterfowl Hunters Expo in Oshkosh (including a fan-girl moment with retriever training legends Pat Burns and Mike Lardy), a debate on whether hunting regulations should change, and a heat-safety reminder for anyone still chasing teal this week.

  How to Manage 200 Acres for Pheasants | Ann Byers

  Aug 28, 20261h 1m

  Tyler flies solo this week (Matt's out) to talk pheasant season with Anne Byers: an NRCS employee, Osceola County Conservation Board member, and a landowner who's spent 25+ years managing 200 acres of her family's Iowa ground specifically for pheasants. They dig into what this year's pheasant numbers are actually looking like across Iowa, South Dakota, and North Dakota (spoiler: the signs point to another strong season), the exact habitat mix Anne plants to hold birds through winter and protect nesting hens in spring, how she handles predator control and invasive trees on her property, and why she'd rather protect pheasant season than deer season these days. Plus: her annual public-land camping trips to the South Dakota grasslands for sharptails and prairie chickens, the Mossberg 500 she won at a Ducks Unlimited banquet 20 years ago, and — yes — the pack goats that carry her birds out of the field. Guest: Anne Byers — Anne Byers Instagram (dogs, hunting, and the goats).

  Is Your Shotgun Actually Shooting Where You Aim? | Pattern Pros

  Aug 21, 20261h 31m

  Most duck hunters never test the one thing that decides whether their shot connects: the shell. This week Tyler and Matt sit down with Ryan, co-founder of Pattern Pros, to talk about why patterning your shotgun matters as much for waterfowl as it does for turkey season — how a few dollars and twenty minutes at 20/30/40 yards can save you money on shells, put more birds in the bag, and mean fewer crippled ducks for your dog to chase down. Ryan breaks down point of aim vs. point of impact, walks through Pattern Pros' variety boxes and new choke tube rental program, and makes the case that applies to waterfowl, upland, turkey, and rifle hunters alike: just pattern it.
