This is the Dive Bomb Squadcast, presented by Dibomb Industries.

Hello everyone, thank you for tuning in to another episode of the Dibomb Squadcast. I'm your host, Asher Tulliver.

A couple weekends ago, we saw a run at the World Waterfow Calling Championships, unlike

any other we have seen before in competition waterfow calling.

Mike Benjamin put on an absolute clinic in Easton, Maryland, and he is joining me on the

phone right now.

Mike, what's up, buddy?

How's it going, guys? Asher, good to talk to you. Absolutely, man. Thanks for joining me. Yeah, I'm doing, I'm doing great, dude. It's been a banner waterfowl season for us to this point so far, man. It just feels like everywhere we've gone, we've hit it just right. So I have no complaints, man. Where are you joining me from today? Rochester, Minnesota, where it is a sunny, but about 25 degree morning. So it's kind of

pretty average for our time of year. We all kind of wish it would be a little bit colder. Haven't

really got the snow on the ground yet, but it sounds like there might be a chance for

some of that here in the near future.

So we'll see.

We talked about it briefly before we got started, but how has the hunting been in Minnesota

this season so far?

Yeah.

So I think it was, you know, actually probably when i was about in maryland like a

week and a half two weeks ago uh we kind of got our first cold snap we had some rain followed by

you know some pretty cold temps so like the northern half of the state really uh really started to see

a good push of birds like coming out of Manitoba, Winnipeg area.

And where I met in southeast Minnesota and Rochester, it's been fairly mild.

I haven't really had a lot of weather to push some new birds in.

But, you know, when you drive around, you start to see a few more kind of loading up on some of the reservoirs and on the river and lakes and stuff here in town.
