The Rolling Thunder Podcast

Finally, we get some colder weather and favorable conditions; just in time for a couple of trips the Rolling Thunder team has planned west of the Mississippi. We've got a group headed to Oklahoma and a crew will be headed over to Arkansas for a few days. Things are looking promising for good weekend for the waterfowl community, in general. Good luck out there!

Every now and then a dog comes along that changes everything. River was one of those dogs. It breaks you when they pass but the memories you have with them and of them carry you through it. In this episode, Spence recalls how he met River and how his life has been and will always be different because of their meeting. 

Cheers to you, River.

In this episode, we are joined by Shane Olson of Habitat Solutions. Shane is a duck hunter and waterfowl property developer out of Oklahoma. We talked duck hunting, shifting flyways, beaver control and cooperation, and some about his approach in methodology for farming for ducks and land management. Shane founded Habitat Solutions in 2017 and focuses on developing recreational and hunting properties to create and rehabilitate the land to maximize its potential by converting acres of deprived farm and ranch land and converting that into habitat for native and migratory wildlife.

In this episode, we catch up with our good buddy, John Garrett Strange. John Garrett grew up hunting with his dad and brother and that passion continues to this day. We talk about that special window of time in November when you can shoot ducks with leaves still on the trees and tie into a rutting buck in the same day. We talk the rut, patterning deer, and rifle hunting vs. bow hunting (among other things.) If you haven't yet, go check out the Strange Hunting Strategies Podcast  wherever you get your podcasts.

The first split has come and gone. After the initial rush of the start of the season, we take a breath and moment to catch up with a few of our good buddies across the southeast to see how their openers went. We talk to Adam Campbell, Matt Teal, Tripp Hodges, Terance Williamson, and Hunter Burrus. We'll do more of these throughout the season so stay tuned!

In this episode, Rob and Spence catch up about the Arkansas Opener and get a recap from RT Bailey III in between stops on the Chêne Gear Built Better Road Tour.  Unless you've been under a rock, you've seen that the boys have been from Oxford, MS to Easton, MD taking waders to the people. If you are in the Stuttgart for Worlds, you should stop by and see the guys from Chêne Gear!

Hard to believe that the Arkansas opener is here. While we've hunted in Canada and the season has been open out west and in Kansas and Oklahoma for a few weeks, for us, it doesn't really feel like duck season until Arkansas opens. 

In this episode, we go down memory lane to some memorable openers and hunts in the Arkansas timber.
