Summary
This series highlights the highs and lows of hunting public land across different regions of America — the early mornings, the pressure, the competition, and the grind that comes with earning every bird.
In this episode, Jeff and Andy are joined by Riley Hicks from Delaware, who—unlike many others featured in this series—actually had a solid waterfowl season. Riley breaks down what made the difference for him in Delaware.
The guys dive into brant hunting along the Delaware coast, the brutally early wake-up calls required to be on the X, and the key windows that make or break a hunt in that region. Riley also shares some of the wild and unpredictable experiences he’s had hunting out on the ocean.
This series is brought to you by the great people at Chêne Gear.
