In this episode of the Standard Sportsman podcast, hosts Cason Short and Brent Birch (also the editor of Greenhead) catch up with duck hunting meteorologist Skot Covert.
Weather gets talked about a lot in duck circles — and for good reason. It affects everything, from breeding habitat to migration timing to what your mornings in the blind look like.
The guys sit down with Arkansas native, 5NEWS chief meteorologist and passionate duck hunter Skot Covert to cut through the noise and talk about what’s really going on. They dig into the prolonged drought gripping much of the South, what an incoming El Niño could mean for winter and how both may shape the season ahead.
Covert also gets into why weather on social media is often overhyped, how forecasting actually works behind the scenes and which weather apps are actually worth trusting when duck season rolls around.
