Name a national waterfowl hunting magazine and Shawn Swearingen has probably produced and article or two for publication. Based in Washington D.C. but growing up waterfowling in Oregon gave Shawn a broad perspective on topics duck and goose hunters encounter afield.

Short and Birch give an update on the drought and the Buy Two Duck Stamps sweepstakes underway and Swearingen shares insights from recent articles he’s published on the skyrocketing cost of leases, how DIY hunters are being priced out and some intriguing decoy strategies.
