Ep. 89 | Inside the Hunt Fish Rule With Cyrus Baird
If you hunt waterfowl on public land, this is an episode you need to hear.
In this episode of The Voice of the Duck Hunter Podcast, host Joel Brice is joined by Cyrus Baird, Delta Waterfowl’s Vice President of Government Affairs, to break down one of the most important — and least understood — policies impacting hunters today: the National Wildlife Refuge System’s Hunt Fish Rule.
Cyrus is on the front lines every day defending waterfowl hunting access, working to protect the opportunities hunters currently have while pushing to expand quality public hunting across the country. We dive into how the Hunt Fish Rule mandates expanded access on national wildlife refuges, why it matters to duck hunters, and the critical role Delta Waterfowl plays in making sure hunters still have a seat at the table.
Whether you hunt refuges every season or care about the future of public land hunting, this conversation is essential.
🎧 Listen, learn, and stay informed — because access doesn’t protect itself.
