Summary

Our good buddy, Paul Heigel, joins the podcast again to talk about a bunch of different things. Paul is busy spacing away pushing snow around in MN and we’re all freezing our asses off. Paul is known to be quite the chef, so we talk a bit about his favorite ways to cook duck and learn a couple new recipes. With a few people lately we’ve had some wild stories about the early days of spinning wing decoys and Paul shares a couple of his memories of them coming out before getting on to some other fun stories from his early days of waterfowl hunting.
