As I sit in my fish house on a slow night for walleye, I can’t help but feel that familiar itch. Duck season is still over eight months away here in central Minnesota, but it’s already calling me. The early goose season will come and go, but even then, the hunting isn’t great.

For waterfowl hunters, the summer months can feel like a long hiatus from the thrill of the hunt. However, the off-season offers a wealth of oppor...

Nearing the end of our seasons brings mixed emotions for us. We reminisce about the hunts we have enjoyed, the hunts that have gone horribly wrong, and the blessings we are afforded with the people and gun dogs we all love.

As opening day approaches in November for most states, we have put together this list from seasons of experience to help you be as prepared as possible for the start of a new season. If you forget shells, have an empty gas tank, or get soaked in your waders, you can't say we didn't warn you.

I, like so many others, look forward to opening day of duck season all year. The months and days leading up to it seem to drag along at a snail’s p...
