In this episode of the Standard Sportsman podcast, hosts Brent Birch (also the editor of Greenhead) and Cason Short tackle several hot topics in the duck hunting world as the first real north wind of fall reached the end of their flyway.

Listen here.

They begin with an update on the Buy Two Duck Stamps campaign as momentum builds toward duck season. With Prairie Pothole Region wetland easements again facing scrutiny from the USFWS, hunter-funded habitat conservation remains as important as ever.

The guys also examine President Trump’s executive order addressing traditional lead ammunition and share some history while explaining why lead shot remains prohibited for waterfowl hunting.

They close with a discussion of the Open Fields Doctrine, recently in the news in Arkansas and Pennsylvania.
