  • Luke warm so I spit you out.

    Wish they would dial back some of the profanity. I don't mind occasional words but taking the Lord's name in vain and saying JFC, GFD, etc makes me immediately turn off the show. And they claim to be Christians? DO BETTER.

  • Love the show

    Love the show guys. I think that last 10 min Tuesday was all very good insight. The only thing I gotta say is.. This whole “it’s a grind” thing and how tough being a guide is and you’re tired, grumpy, whatever. I don’t care. It is your job lol. Don’t guide if you’re complaining about any aspect of the work and you’re also dealing with people and you know that going into it. If the clients suck. It doesn’t matter. No one else signed you up to be there. Be a man. Shut up. Suck it up. Do your job.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Matt Judy; Ducks, Dogs & Farm Life
Q: What's the worst dogs we get in the kennel?
Judy says chocolate Labs have a poor reputation among the family pets boarding at his kennel because some owners choose them for their looks and do not train them. He clarifies that he was not criticizing chocolate Labs as hunting dogs.
Matt Judy; Ducks, Dogs & Farm Life
Q: What were you doing before you started working for Dive Bomb?
Judy studied agriculture technology and production management at Washington State University, worked on berry and potato farms, and spent eight years managing Driscoll's Pacific Northwest region before being laid off and joining Dive Bomb.
Jordan Fromer; Learning Duck Hunting the Hard Way
Q: What do you think is the key for just all of us, our channels, and then all the people that hunt to get people to actually come together to promote a better future for all this stuff?
Fromer says hunters should welcome newcomers, teach them proper etiquette, and encourage them to respect the people who take time to teach them. He also favors optional educational resources over adding required steps that could discourage new hunters.
Jordan Fromer; Learning Duck Hunting the Hard Way
Q: What was the hardest part for you to grasp as a new hunter?
Fromer recalls struggling to judge shooting distance and concealment. He had seen hunting videos but did not understand how far away birds were in person, and initially shot at birds that were too distant.
What Was Your A-Ha Hunting Moment?
Q: what's the biggest aha moment you had in your career that completely changed how you look at the marsh slash waterfowling?
The biggest aha moment was recognizing that you can't rely on the field with the most birds; you must evaluate the field's hideability, bird behavior, and how they are coming in. When we stopped chasing sheer numbers and started choosing fields based on how birds exit and move, scouting details like safety, roosting, and grouping became the driving factors for success.
