Amber English grew up around hunting and guns in Colorado, learning to shoot when she was only 6 years old. While her parents, uncle and aunt all shot competitively, it wasn't until after highschool gymnastics that she began doing so. Now a Captain in the US Army, she humbly describes choosing shotguns over rifles, shooting her way into international skeet shooting competitions, joining the Olypic Team, winning the gold (where she set a new Olympic record, by the way) and preparing to do it again. We also talk about traveling with firearms and, with the warning that I can miss with the absolute best of 'em, make plans to duck hunt together.

Anything can happen while duck hunting. Greer Smith probably isn't the only person the get stuck while hunting near Venice, Louisiana, but watching ducks fly overhead and wondering where they'd originated sent his life into a new orbit. "There's a growing need for awareness," says Greer, who grew up duck hunting in Georgia. Quitting his day job and putting plans into motion, he started 50 Ducks in hopes that he can spark an interest in waterfowl conservation among school children and the non-hunting community. This year he's banding ducks in Sonora Mexico and at Jack Miner's in Ontario. Greer eventually hopes to generate much needed revenues to fund waterfowl research projects. Along with a drake shoveler named Sir Dabble presently streaming his whereabouts from nature to computer monitors worldwide, he's off to a danged good start!

While growing up on a farm in rural Missouri, his dad had predicted he'd become a newspaper reporter. Probably because he intuitively knows the value of a story. Sure enough, Andrew McKean's colorful career eventually took him to Outdoor Life, where as the long-time hunting and conservation editor, he's drilled into issues that affect wildlife, wildlands, and people. An incredible storyteller, McKean dives headlong into memorable hunting trips, like the time he recovered legendary Jim Corbet's famous tiger hunting rifle from a British museum and retraced his steps through India, and the time he went on the very last caribou hunt to ever take place in Quebec. Borrowing from that last caribou hunt, he describes why some conservation groups consider the American Buffalo as practically extinct, and others' plans to fix it. Outdoor Life was the last hunting magazine to have over a million subscribers. Everything is now digital, and making a career in the outdoor writing field these days is also discussed.

Between chasing waterfowl and promoting Voormi, my buddy Ryan Yarnell aka Tex aka Redbeard sees as much of North America through a truck windshield as I do each year. Every now again our paths cross and we even get to hunt ducks together. In between roadtrips, Yarnell and I catch up, talking about Voormi's new bibs and rain jacket, this past US duck season, driving the highways and byways, our hunting retrievers, snow geese, and duck hunting West Virginia. You know, pretty much the same nothing that all duck hunting buddies talk about.

We all know duck habitat when we see it, but what do ducks "see"--how do our beloved mallards experience and utilize habitats at the landscale level before, during and after hunting season? Could understanding this make us more productive hunters, better habitat managers and long-time conservationsists? Nick Masto (that's Masto) is a duck hunter and recently completed his PhD at Tennessee Tech using the latest technologies. We do a deep dive into mallard habitat preferences on the wintering grounds and during fall/spring migrations, why they prefer these habitats, when they migrate, why they stop migrating, available forage on private versus public lands, hunting pressure influences, daily flight distances, the importance of early and late water on the landscape, sanctuary connectivity, landowner cooperatives and more. Whether a hunter, a waterfowl habitat manager, or both, you'll likely appreciate seeing your hallowed stomping grounds through the eyes of wild mallards.

How has hunting changed in the United States since yesteryear--and why? Whether private or public lands, is it as easy to gain access? And how does the increasingly non-hunting public view hunters and hunting? Award-winning writer, public speaker and recurring FOX News guest, Gabriella Hoffman and I race through a list of ongoing need-to-know topics from right here in our back yard: roadkill legislation, banning hunting dog events, how the famously publicized Hollywood Buck influences public perceptions, defunding hunter- and firearm-related wildlife management, using no-tox ammo and green energy to marginalize hunter access, net-zero agenda and much more. Is it a red versus blue state thing? Simply a sign of times, or by design? And what can you do about it? Listen, decide, and let us know your thoughts.

Back in the internet stone ages way before social media platforms, old-school do-it-yourself duck hunters from around the world gathered in online communities known as duck hunting chatrooms--sharing local traditions, exchanging ideas, swapping hunts. It was almost like discovering fire! Decades later, Duckboats.net still exists and is thriving like a most-popular Smalltown, USA coffeeshop. "The best duck boats stand out at the boat ramp but vanish in the marsh," says duckboat.net founder Eric Patterson, when we started talking about constructing and using various type duck boats deployed throughout North America. More than just duck boats though, this old school community covers an everything-under-the-sun broad range of waterfowl- and life-related topics. Today's conversation meanders through the most interesting things found while hunting (y'all ain't goin to believe what he found in Alabama), public land hunter harrasment, duck hunting then versus now, chatrooms versus social media, and the good, bad, and downright ugly things wrought by the internet.

"I'd known about it forever," says John Williams, speaking about a large, diamond-in-the-rough bottomland hardwood tract along a river in Oklahoma, "And dreamed of owning something like it one day." He cut his teeth duck hunting Oklahoma public lands and followed his father's footsteps into realty, forging his way into recreational properties before it was really even a thing. That dream property finally came for sell. He's since spent decades learning the property, developing it into the largest hardwood wetland in the state, fine-tuning management, and instilling in his sons the same love and appreciation for it that he himself feels. We cover lots of topics you'll appreciate whether you're a landowner or, like myself, still dreaming.

Is it true that "man is seldom content to witness nature...he must posess it?" What is it about beautiful feathers that so obsesses some of us? Truth is truly stranger than fiction, and some stories you couldn't contrive in a lifetime's worth of imagination. Kirk Wallace Johnson's The Feather Thief is prime example--a child prodigy flutist becomes a world-champion salmon fly tier, breaks into British Natural History Museum, stealing hundreds of rare bird skins worth millions of dollars in the fly-tying underworld but irreplacably priceless to the scientific community. Anything for those beautiful feathers! For fame? For money? Told masterfully, Johnson's investigative story explores man's obsessive instinct to harvest--and to collect--nature's beauty. It's a story as old as time.

Rare in terms of the extremely small geograpic area they can be hunted relative to earth--and trust me, it's one helluva long trip just getting there from here--Cape Barren geese are also regarded as among the world's largest goose species in the world. While the coals for lambchops are getting hot, our Tasmanian bucket-list host, Rockjaw, talks about growing up on remote Flynder's Island; Cape Barren Goose habits, agricultural conflicts and hunting techniques, ways to eat 'em; and about other unique hunting and fishing opportunities in his tiny corner of the world between the Tasman Sea and Bass Straight. There's a reason there's so very little crime or antihunting there. He briefly explains that, too, like only Rockjaw can!

After a mallards-galore Kansas timber hunt--and I'm talking mallard flocks spilling over the treetops like tossed dice into the coffee-colored opening surrounded by thick ice--Carter's Big Island father-son team, Roy and Drake, and I visit about their singular 74-day objective: to put fluttering greenheads in front of client guns. It doesn't happen by accident either. It's all about location, location, location and an unwavering, year-round commitent. Covering topics to include the season results, the daily grind, guide expectations, shooting greenheads-only, duck calling, property development, habitat management and their pass it on or lose it philosophy, as much is learned about who they are as top-shelf mallard producers as who they are as people you'd probably enjoy sharing times with in the blind.

Form or function? Because long before waterfowl hunting clothing became a conspicuous corporate camo fashion statement, generations of savvy duck killers chose practical, earth-toned natural materials that kept them warm, dry and concealed while lasting generations. And because history repeats itself, it seems that the entire hunting industry is suddenly trending from latest-greatest patterns to good old-fashioned solids again. Except for Tom Beckbe. They remained loyal to old school functionality from the get go. Tom Beckbe's founder, Radcliffe Menge, and I catch up over cups of hot coffee, discussing why old school tendencies are resonating among today's duck hunters, form versus function, natural materials, duck hunting here and there, and new products.

Five minutes isn't much time. But 300 seconds probably seems like an eternity when your life depends on it happening. A duck hunter from Minnesota, Jack Zimmerman joined the Army to serve his country. Returning with no legs and damged arms after stepping on an IED, he has no regrets. Shaping himself into the best new version possible, he encourages others to do likewise through his actions-speak-louder-than-words approach to life. He continues waterfowl hunting with an appreciation like never before. In listening to Zimmerman's detailed stories, you'll appreciate his sacrifice as an American soldier and be inspired to prevail through your own life struggles.

After a thousand-plus wears, Voormi's High-E Hoodie and other products like the 2-pocket hoodie and base layers, have become essential, must-pack staples while waterfowl hunting worldwide. Highlighting the many reasons that I now love and rely on Voormi gear, founder Butch English does dives deep into the substrate-driven functionality, meaningful design and purposeful innovativeness of their core technology. At the heart of it all? Yep. A duck hunter from Missouri that knew from experience that there was plenty room for gear improvement. So he did.

In December's "Where the Hell are the Mallards" (EP 434), Dr. Michael Schummer described waning migrations of "Halloween mallards," that subset of North American mallards that fly to their southern overwintering haunts in mid- to late-October regardless of wintry temps and snow cover. He promised to climb down that rabbit hole with Dr. Phil Lavretsky if given the chance. Today, Drrs. Shummer and Lavretsky go deep into that briar patch! See, while it's easy to explain weak migrations in the absence of a real winter, other factors are likely influencing our percetions that fewer mallards are flying south or that the mallard migration is shifting westwards.

"All I knew is that nobody was going to outwork me," says Mojo founder Terry Denmon in describing his abrupt departure from federal government employment decades ago to become an engineering consultant that did not yet even have one single client. Many years later, a new fangled decoy concept dropped into his lap and while it'd be easy to say that the rest is history, it wouldn't tell the entire story. Today's episode is more about working hard, thinking outside the box and never quitting than it is about the world's most recognized namebrand waterfowl decoy, with plenty pearls of wisdom about succeeding in the outdoor industry, other businesses and just life itself.

We all know that waterfowl sanctuary is an essential component to managing overwintering waterfowl, but is all waterfowl sanctuary created equal? What are the different sanctuary types? Which do mallards prefer? How quickly do mallards respond to Arkansas duck hunting disturbances, and how does their behavior change? How might private landowners and managers adapt to provide more hunting opportunities and still offer sanctuary? A recent graduate of University of Arkansas Monticello, Ethan Ditter researched sanctuary and land cover use patterns by mallards in Arkansas and explains his interesting findings. While some seem intuitive, you'll find others hugely surprising.

The landmark 1972 movie Jeremiah Johnson featuring Robert Redford should be mandatory viewing for every red-blooded American, and was based on a book entitled "Crow Killer: The Saga of Liver Eating Johnson." But who was he really, and was his name even Johnson? From the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Nathan Bender tells us all about this part-man-part-myth historical figure. Where'd he come from, why'd he prefer Hawkins guns, what'd he do for money, why'd he fight the Crows and why'd he start eating their livers--or did he? Inspired into a history career by the original Jeremiah Johnson movie, he's since become an authority on the topic. Following this interview, I returned to Mountain View Mallard's lodge and rewatched the movie for the umpteenth time. Check it out.

Kind of hard to complain about killing Wyoming greenhead limits when the temperatures are in mid-60s, but that's not always the case. Seasonably warm weather made for hit-or-miss waterfowl hunting in Wyoming, but the show must go on--you don't know unless you go, right?! A waterfowl hunting guide for 35 years, JJ Randolph is also a world-class storyteller and human being. He talks about starting Wyobraska--y'all ain't going believe what he traded for his first blind--why he chose Wyoming, important influences, why this area usually overwinters so many ducks and geese, waterfowl plucking, hunting strategies, Wyobraska's client retriever policy and much more.

The quote above door reads, "Back to the New West. The Wild West I leave to you." While many people have traveled since forever to Cody, Wyoming, to discover the Wild West, many came to disappear or to be reinvented. From the Buffalo Bill Center of the Wild West, Mckracken Research Library, Eric Rossborough provides entertaining accounts of some colorful personalities that did just that, explaining why back in the day locals never asked new folks' names or origins. An amazing storyteller, Rossborough's character descriptions will have you at times laughing out loud and at other times shaking your head in disbelief.

Y'all can chalk today's episode up to interesting things I've never, ever before heard about in goose camp. Or anywhere. According to Elroy Belgaard, vikings--and we're talking real deal Lief Erikson stuff here--visited Minnesota more than a hundred years preceding Christopher Columbus's "discovery" of America. There's plenty evidence to include rune stones, moring stones, and other stuff. Why were they here, what evidence exists, what do 10 human skeletons have to do with anything, why are some scientists naysayers, who were the knights of templar---and might there really exist a raiders-of-the-lost-ark-type treasure of epic proportions somewhere in central Minnesota?!

We're about 20 miles from the historic Gettysburg Battlefield, the waterfowl hunting has been tough even by Pennsylvania standards, but we got it done. Ramsey meets with long-time friend Nate Metcalf and Jason Cramer to talk about Pennsylvania duck and goose hunting. No differently than bs'ing in duck blinds the world over, we get into some interesting topics to include historic homes, indian sex stones, famous college classmates, and more. The things you hear while duck hunting, huh?!

Hunting from an open water blind wrapped in Christmas-smelling evergreens, we were surrounded by hundreds of longlined blocks to include many of Doc's hand-carved "Cleveland-style" decoys, lines worth of Pat's own functional art, and even Coop the Chicken Dog's urn decoy thrown in for good measure--because you can never have too many decoys hunting divers on the mighty Mississippi River! Picking off bluebills, canvasbacks, buffleheads and occaisonal redheads from a nearby miles-long raft of divers, we sipped lukewarm coffee and solved world problems. Dyed-in-the-wool diver duck hunters Pat Gregory and Doc Leonard discuss old school Mississippi River diver hunting, describing what they most love about it, why they use hand-carved blocks, how it's about more than just ducks, and what most defines this particular waterfowling experience. Good stuff to start the New Year!

Growing up deer hunting, dove hunting and fishing with a couple brothers in eastern Alabama, Sara Burkhalter was just one of the boys, which we talk about in depth. Inspired by her duck hunting husband, their first black lab, and what she percieves as a dramatic shift in the way our children are being influenced by modern technology, Sara interupted her day-to-day job as a contruction company owner to write a children's book. A powerfully articulate communicator, she describes why preserving old school ways of life are important and how she hopes to accomplish that with her first and future book projects.

It's the week of Christmas. Coast to coast, north to south, everyone seems frustrated while awaiting south-bound ducks, asking themselves where in the hell are the ducks?! Is the sky falling? Do we really even have ducks? Or is the answer a little more straight forward? Waterfowl migration guru Dr. Michael Schummer explains what we're seeing--or not! Using his proprietary forecast model, he even makes a prediction for the upcoming week.

How well do ducks and geese really see--and how can understanding this make you a more effective waterfowl hunter? Dr. Bradley Cohen from Tennessee Tech explains waterfowl eyesight to Ramsey, focusing on depth perception, field of view, color discernment and rapid "refresh rates." Citing many years of in-depth research, he paints a pretty clear picture. I mean, there's a reason they sell camo long handles and face paint, huh? Waterfowl's ability to hear and smell are worth mentioning, but this episode is about clearly seeing waterfowl hunting for what it really is. Or isn't. You decide.

Ramsey scratches Oregon off the duck hunting list, leaving on Virginia and West Virginia remaining. He recounts his visit with host Brandon Potter, who describes waterfowl opportunities, waterfowl species, hunting styles, and what it's like living and raising family in close proximity to Portland, the most left-leaning, woke-assed city in America. *** *** MOJO’S DUCK SEASON SOMEWHERE PODCAST SPONSORS: MOJO Outdoors Benelli Shotguns https://www.benelliusa.com/ BOSS Shotshells https://bossshotshells.com/ Ducks Unlimited https://www.ducks.org/ Flash Back Decoys HuntProof Premium Waterfowl App https://huntproof.app/ Inukshuk Professional Dog Food https://www.inukshukpro.com/ Tetra Hearing https://tetrahearing.com/ Tom Beckbe https://tombeckbe.com/ Voormi https://voormi.com/ GetDucks.com https://www.getducks.com/ USHuntList.com Instagram @ramseyrussellgetducks YouTube @GetDucks Facebook @GetDucks.com PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW MOJO’S DUCK SEASON SOMEWHERE PODCAST.

Building a world waterfowl collection--and we're talking everything--is a daunting challenge. But for hunter-scientist-curator Andy Englis, it's just another day at the office. Why the collection and its importance, sure, but among the other interesting topics covered are his close-as-a-speartip encounter with a head hunting tribe and longest duck penises in the world.
