On this episode, I sit down with the man behind the Freelance Duck Hunting YouTube channel, which is one of the longest running duck hunting channels on YouTube. We discuss 10 years of Freelance Duck Hunting and memories over the last 10 year, teal hunt plans and then head into a discussion revolving around the criticisms of hunting media, discuss the arguments about hunting media being negative for hunting and some of the narratives around that topic.
