With spring planting season winding down, attention turns to the work that pays dividends for ducks long after the combines are parked. Cason and Brent discuss Louisiana's newly announced black-bellied whistling duck season and debate whether duck hunters and waterfowl managers have fallen behind deer hunters when it comes to working together across property lines. The conversation also covers the latest reports from the Prairie Pothole Region, drought conditions across the South, and why stewardship matters, whether you own ground or not. The episode wraps up with a look at a potential floodplain reforestation project and several programs that can help landowners turn marginal farmland into productive wildlife habitat.

With Cason out on vacation and the holiday week keeping things short, Brent takes the controls for a rare solo episode...no guests, no script, just stories and insight. Using the Executive Q&A featured in Greenhead: The Arkansas Duck Hunting Magazine as a guide, he walks through the same questions posed to prominent Arkansas business leaders, mixing in personal experiences, hunting memories, and the lessons that shaped him as a waterfowler. It’s a laid-back but revealing episode that offers a deeper look into how Brent approaches duck season, the outdoors, and the traditions that keep him coming back every fall.
