  1. The Honey Hole
    I’m getting heavy into scouting across Florida, I’ve been hammering on the weekends looking for decent spots and I’ve found one that’s worth a try so far but I know it’ll be loaded with hunters.

  2. Mississippi Duck Hunting
    I just moved from Florida and I am doing a lot of research on where I should go to duck hunt this year. I am in Hattiesburg.

    By Chris Hustad There's a lot of different ways to hunt ducks. You can field hunt, open water hunt, hunt shallow potholes, hunt flooded timber, pass shoot refuges, etc. etc. Every state has it's own unique landscape, it's own flyways, it's own style of hunting. This philosophy definitely...
  8. The Honey Hole
    By Doug Leier North Dakota has such an array of duck species nesting in the state there's a good chance most hunters will remember a teal, gadwall, pintail or shoveler as their first duck and instead of a mallard. And there's nothing wrong with that, nothing wrong with bragging about the first...
