Our favorite moments, our unsung heroes, loose ends, trivia, and a complete casting for the movie version – if you’ve caught yourself humming “I Saw a Tiger” as you wander around your quarantined world, this is the podcast you…

  • An Open Letter to the FWC Commissioners

    Commissioners, I wanted to reach out to your prior to this week’s Commission meetings in Panama City Beach. I wish I could be there. I tried. I pushed hard. I’ve been to the past 4-5 meetings, but, as a full-time waterfowl guide, this one was tough to pull off. See, I have a client flying in to hunt the day of the meetings from out of state.

If everything goes according to plan, there will be a celebration in a Central Florida Swamp Tuesday morning,…
