Summary

This week we’re joined by Ben Marleau from Beavertail and DOA Decoys. We talk about his last season and what it’s been like for him and his buddies to take their kids out in the field with them. There can’t be enough said for taking new hunters, young or old, out to experience a duck or goose hunt for their first time. That’s always been our goal at Midwest Flyways. We also talk whether he likes ducks or geese better, how tariffs are affecting costs, and plenty of hunting poop talk to mix things up!
