This was a fun one! We introduced a new segment we are going to call "Flyway Flashback." Each week we will take an old post from forums back in the day and discuss the topic they were talking about. We kicked it off with an interesting one from 2005 where they talked about what the future of waterfowling might hold. Tune in to see if they were right on track with their predictions 20 years ago!

Not our typical episode but the audio got corrupt after recording so had to make do. Still wanted to get this out there to you guys and let you know about a big benefit the calling community is putting on for one of our own. Dominic Carollo has been dealing with some pretty hard health issues lately and we are trying to lift him up and raise some money to support him and his family. Head on over to the "Call Nutz" Facebook page to get in on the benefit and help this family out!
