North wind, hot tent, and a last-minute call — we chased the Mississippi migration and found the X.
In this Duck Gun Podcast, Jordan and Young Padawan break down a whirlwind river trip: the on-the-fly decision, brutal marsh walks, reading wind and water, how we located wild-rice pockets, and the hunt where birds finally locked, hovered, and paid the price.
We also talk public-land etiquette (jump-shooters mid-hunt…), coots vs. greenheads, and what actually worked to turn scouting into limits.
