Duck season is here! And in honor of the opening of the season in Missouri, we are releasing a podcast that we recorded this past January with Christian Curtis, one of the founders of Banded and a friend of Trophy Properties and Auction.

Episode Highlights:

A Lifetime in the Field: Christian shares the story of his introduction to duck hunting, tracing back to his youth in Missouri. He reflects on how hunting has changed, from early days on the river to today’s more technology-driven approaches.

Guiding and Gear: Discussing his journey from duck guiding to creating and selling hunting products, Christian explains how necessity and innovation sparked his move into product design with Avery Outdoors and later Bandit Holdings.

Changing Landscapes of Waterfowl Migration: The team delves into changes in migration patterns, likely due to climate shifts, and the impact of hunting pressures. 

Modern Hunting Challenges: From trail cams to social media influence, Christian, Jason, and Anthony debate how technology affects hunting traditions, the authenticity of modern “influencers,” and the increasing commoditization of hunting land.

Keeping it Real: Christian talks about Bandit’s philosophy on aligning with genuine personalities in the hunting industry over social media giants. Authenticity, he says, is still king when connecting with dedicated hunters.

Land and Market Trends: Trophy Properties & Auction’s insights on breaking large properties into smaller, affordable tracts give listeners a peek into the changing real estate trends and the growing popularity of recreational land ownership.

Tune in to hear these stories and more, as this crew blends humor, industry knowledge, and real-life experiences to paint a full picture of the duck hunting world—past, present, and future.


This podcast was recorded in January of 2024 while we were duck hunting in New Madrid, MO. Check out the highlight video here:
