First Split Recap and a Look Ahead

December 12, 2024 • Brent Birch and Cason Short • Season 2 • Episode 4

This week on The Standard Sportsman, the guys recap the first split of the Arkansas duck season and the outlook heading into the second season. With a significant and lengthy run of cold weather up north, ducks are on the move, but have they made it to the deep south yet? Instances of a potential Avian Flu outbreak appear to be occurring with young snow geese. Cason and Brent also get into opportunity vs. experience, the duck hunting sub-culture items and their impact on days afield, and Arkansas setting the bar for the future of the sport.
