  Duck Season Advice From 10 Guests: Scouting, Calling, Hides and Shooting

  Oct 2, 202623 min

  Duck season is upon us here in Wisconsin and various seasons are open or opening across the country. We are just a little excited over here. We went back through the last 18 months of Upduck and pulled some of the best advice our guests have given us into one 20-minute episode. You'll hear Wisconsin DNR game bird ecologist Taylor Finger explain why hunters who scout three or more times a year shoot three times as many birds. Rusty Creasey discusses rest areas, and Chance Gotsch says to hunt every front this season. Then it's duck calling mistakes, overhead concealment for boat blinds, spinner decoy strategy, and patterning your shotgun at 20, 30 and 40 yards. Plus: why most misses are behind the bird, and getting kids into the marsh. Featured guests: Taylor Finger (WI DNR), Brian Halbleib (Migration Waterfowl), Rusty Creasey, Chance Gotsch, Braden Shull, Phil Kahnke, George Parker (Bluebird Waterfowl), Ryan (Pattern Pros), Phillip Jones (GAIM) and Michael Hagerty (Outdoor Dad Life).

  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).
