For Minnesota native and 2009 World Duck Calling Champion Mike Anderson, everything has changed and all the while stayed the same. Mike’s love and passion for duck hunting and duck calling have transcended time and place. Mike looks back on trips in his old Ranger across the country to meet up with calling buddies at competitions and gatherings, or hunting trips to Arkansas with longtime friends. It seems even though time has passed, Mike is still doing a lot of the same, placing 6th in this years World Duck Calling Championship in Stuttgart and traveling the country with his family and friends, hunting ducks whenever and wherever he can. We talk about what’s changed in today’s waterfowl landscape, the competition calling scene and Mike shares some of his favorite hunts and memories.

This week we’re lucky enough to have World Champion Duck caller Mike Anderson joining us and while Mike was here he started to offer some thoughts on topics we’ve discussed in the past involving Duck number surveys and our season date structure. Instead of having a behind the scenes conversation, we decided to record it for all of you so you can gain some insight into the inner workings of the data we all rely on.

Hoping everyone had an amazing Christmas with friends and family! We wanted to sit down this week and go through some playoff predictions! Who actually has a shot in the NFL Playoffs this year? Have the Bucs all but pissed away a promising season? Can the packers actually pull it together after losing some key pieces or will the Rams stay locked in and finish strong? In the AFC, chaos ensues as the Broncos hang on to a very unconvincing 1 seed and the Bills seem to look like two different teams from week to week. We also play a special edition of Say What?! that Carter put together for Cal and Nathaniel. Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!   New Waterfowl Film out now!

We’ve gotten a lot of people messaging us saying these new hunters don’t know any of the standard waterfowl hunter etiquette. There are a few simple ground rules that everybody should know when you decide to start hunting birds. So for this week’s Ten Minute Tuesday we discuss exactly that. We’re not saying this is the only way to do it or that every place and situation don’t have their own special unwritten rules and norms, but this should give some folks a decent start.

This week on Sports Guyz Only we’re still missing Gavin Kolles for a couple more weeks but the rest of the gang is in studio discussing a wild week in the NFL. We saw the beloved Kansas City Chiefs be eliminated and Patrick Mahomes suffer a torn ACL. He wasn’t the only ACL this week though as Micah Parsons finds himself sidelined for the same reason. Old Man Rivers looked a lot less old than we thought he would and the Colts OWE Daniel Jones a new contract.

This week on the podcast, Joey and Cal recap our recent trip to hunt with our buddy Matt Flummerfelt in Iowa. We were able to have a few awesome hunts and spend some time with some great folks and there’s not much that can beat that this time of year. After coming off of a few difficult trips where things just didn’t go our way, we were really hoping to be able to get on the birds. We talk through each day of the trip and the hunt that we were on, including how we set our spreads, what the birds were doing and how the weather affected our hunting. From small water mallards to Big field goose hunt, we had an incredible time. We also play Say What?! Sports Edition!

This week on Ten Minute Tuesday we got a question from you all that we wanted to discuss: How can I keep hunting the same birds without ruining the X or pushing birds out of my area? We dive into this one and talk about all the different ways you can successfully hunt birds without educating birds to leave or avoid you. If you’ve been in this spot before it can be tough to feel like you’re putting yourself in a position to be successful without ruining your chances for hunting them again.

This week on Ten Minute Tuesday we wanted to touch on what to do when the weather shifts. From rain to snow and temperature swings in between, weather can be the best time to hunt birds. It can also be one of the most frustrating times as birds can become unpredictable.
