Summary

We’ve gotten a lot of people messaging us saying these new hunters don’t know any of the standard waterfowl hunter etiquette. There are a few simple ground rules that everybody should know when you decide to start hunting birds. So for this week’s Ten Minute Tuesday we discuss exactly that. We’re not saying this is the only way to do it or that every place and situation don’t have their own special unwritten rules and norms, but this should give some folks a decent start. Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe and review!   New Waterfowl Film out now!

Sure, that too.

0:34.4

But a lot of guys are like starting out and they're like 19, you know? And somebody like our age is like, what the fuck are you doing?

1:05.4

For sure on the etiquette side, for sure.

1:08.2

Mm-hmm.

1:09.8

And then I just benefited from learning how to hunt with you.
