Ep 24 - At the Lodge: Mallard Estates Outfitter

In this episode, Rob sits down with the whole gang at Mallard Estates Outfitter in Brownsville, TN to talk about how the season has been so far and what it takes to be an outfitter. It isn't just showing up and killing ducks, you have to be a booking agent, a farmer, a carpenter, a welder, an electrician, a psychiatrist (bartender), a chauffer, a comedian, and eventually you get to be a duck hunter. If you can't be all of those things, you have to assemble a team who is, and they've done just that. We hear from Blake and Monte McWilliams, among others, and learn about the history of Mallard Estates and about how far they have come in just a few years.

In this episode, Rob, Ben, and Spence sit down in LaGrange to look ahead to the opening weekend of duck season in Arkansas.

Ep 21 - Curveball: Turkey Talk in November w/ Josh Grossenbacher and Terence Williamson

The temperature is dropping and the migrators are starting to head south. The Arkansas rivers are swelling and the ducks are back and we are talking turkeys? That's right - it takes a lot of work to make something look like it happened over night. In this episode we are joined by two new members of the Rolling Thunder Team, Josh Grossenbacher and Terence Williamson. Josh and Terence are two of the best mouth and friction call makers that you'll find anywhere and they were gracious enough to come on the show while they have been in town makings calls are the shop ahead of the spring turkey expansion for 2021. We dive into the world of turkey calling competitions and what it takes to make a quality turkey call.
