    In this episode, host Ben Cassidy sits down with Get Ducks founder, Ramsey Russell, to discuss his recent trip to Australia in pursuit of waterfowl and the film he put together in support of the sport in the region:

    Battleground Australia, presented by Get Ducks, SCI, and Field & Game Australia, airs January 24th on the Get Ducks YouTube channel. This film depicts the diverse and healthy populations of waterfowl in Australia and explains what hunters do to conserve waterfowl in the region. Currently, waterfowl hunting has fallen under attack by anti-hunters in Australia, and this film is being released to explain the “truth” behind waterfowl hunting down under. SCI has also collaborated with Field & Game Australia on advocacy efforts with our grassroots army to defend duck hunting in Australia.
