Ducks Unlimited Podcast

If you're a believer, and especially if you're not, don't miss this year's edition of DU Halloween.
In this edition, Cam Hale and Kyle Philson of Expanded Perspectives Podcast team up with Ducks Unlimited’s Wade Shoemaker and onX's Lake Pickle for more unsettling stories from the woods and skies. Lake walks us through the most harrowing night he's ever had in the woods... and the only experience he's had that defies natural explanation. From there, Cam and Kyle recount viewer-submitted stories about the Jersey Devil, the white coyote of Comanche, a Thunderbird spotted over Alaska, and a few about everybody's favorite cryptid: Bigfoot.

Sometimes the hunting is great. Sometimes it isn't. The best trips are the ones you'd take either way.
Recorded late at night after the final hunt of Paloma Blanco 2026, host Wade Shoemaker sits down with John Dunaway, Barton Ramsey, and Ryan Yarnell for an unfiltered conversation about friendship, family, traditions, and why one South Texas dove hunt has become a yearly reunion for some of the outdoor industry's closest friends.
What started as a small gathering of friends has evolved into a multi-generational tradition that now includes kids, grandkids, chefs, outdoor brands, nonprofit fundraising, and stories that grow with every passing year. The group reflects on the origins of Paloma Blanco, the people who make it special, and why meaningful traditions don't happen overnight. They are built one year, one friendship, and one memory at a time. 
Topics Covered
How Paloma Blanco grew from a simple dove hunt into a tradition
The role friendship plays in building meaningful experiences
Why the hunting often becomes secondary to the people
Raising kids around outdoor traditions and community
The Golden Ticket fundraiser and conservation impact
Lessons on hospitality, generosity, and building culture
Why anyone can create their own version of Paloma Blanco
The value of time spent outdoors with people you care about

Duck season is underway in the Northeast, and early reports point to strong local production, excellent goose movement, and promising hunting conditions heading into late fall.
Host Dr. Mike Brasher welcomes Joe Albanese, Ducks Unlimited Migration Alert Editor for the Northeastern U.S., for a look at how the season is shaping up across New York, New England, and the Atlantic Coast. From wood ducks and black ducks to ringnecks, sea ducks, and brant, Joe shares what hunters are seeing on the landscape and what recent weather patterns mean for migration.
The conversation covers habitat conditions, goose migration, weather influences, coastal sea duck reports, and why some of the Northeast's best hunting opportunities are happening on overlooked wetlands and small waters. Joe also explains how tidal marshes, weather, and local habitat conditions affect bird movement throughout the region.

What would you do if an invisible figure leapt through the trees above your stand? If you told anybody, they might say you're crazy! Or maybe they've seen it too...

Kyle Philson and Cam Hale of Expanded Perspectives Podcast join Ducks Unlimited’s Wade Shoemaker and Lake Pickle of onX to explore the Glimmer Man: a transparent, human-shaped figure described by hunters and other witnesses around the world. What began with two similar reports grew into an archive of hundreds of stories, collected for you in a new Glimmer Man book. Expanded Perspectives is giving away 10 autographed copies free of charge; use the approved entry link and official rules below.
The group follows one of its most unsettling accounts as the woods fall silent, a watchman-like figure clambers through the treetops, and two hunters realize they had the same encounter with the unknown. Then the conversation turns to Not Deer, the Crossett Light, three orbs circling an Arkansas duck blind, and a 300-pound hog pulled off in the night without a trace.

Building a successful brand at 19 years old isn’t easy. Building one around creativity and authenticity is even harder.
Recorded live at DUX 2026, host Matt Harrison sits down with Colton Patterson, founder of Broken Bow, to discuss art, country music, entrepreneurship, and the creative journey that turned a niche social media page into one of the most recognizable brands in outdoor and country culture.

The conversation explores the challenges of building a business at a young age, the importance of staying authentic, and why passion has to come before success.
Along the way, Colton talks about his love for duck hunting, growing up in Tennessee and Alabama, songwriting, social media, and the influence of family, mentors, and outdoor traditions on the work he creates today.
