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 Paul Hinman from Michigan to break down the ins and outs of hunting waterfowl on public land in the Great Lakes State. Paul talks about the heavy pressure on crowded WMAs and how he finds ways to set himself apart when the marshes fill up.
The conversation also dives into hunting big water and the real dangers that come with it—things every hunter needs to respect—along with a look back at Paul’s season and the warm weather to start the season followed by the winter’s frigid temperatures after Thanksgiving.
This series is brought to you by the great people at Chêne Gear.
