  • Privileged Private Land Hunters Who Think They Know The Rules That Need to Govern the Public Hunter

    A few of the guest are good to listen to their aspect to the struggles of Arkansas duck hunting. I feel like these private land hunters want to set rules for the public land hunters at their own benefit. If you wanna listen to your public land issues this is not your podcast.
