Zero Duck:30 Podcast

We sit down with Grayson Slagle from southern Illinois to talk whitetails, waterfowl, and why Illinois deserves more credit for duck and goose hunting than most people give it. We also get real about how social media can ruin hunting when it turns into a quota, and why the best days can still be the ones where you only bring home a few birds.

• Grayson’s upbringing in the outdoors and how Whitetails and Waterfowl starts
• pushing back on negative hunting culture and welcoming new hunters
• balancing deer season with waterfowl season in Illinois
• why Illinois is underrated for ducks and Canada geese
• the new Illinois zone structure and what season splits can change
• migration getting later and why hunters feel like they miss the best pushes
• Arkansas trips, habitat advantages, and what makes it feel unreal
• what Illinois public land hunts look like and how private pits differ
• millet, corn, and natural foods like acorns in duck impoundments
• waterfowl harvest stats, better tech, and the funding reality behind decisions
• brand growth, content honesty, and Grayson’s path through law school
