The Voice of the Duck Hunter – A Delta Waterfowl Podcast
Welcome to The Voice of the Duck Hunter — the official podcast of Delta Waterfowl, the Duck Hunters Organization. Each episode dives deep into the world of duck hunting, wetland conservation, and the people driving the future of waterfowling.
From prairie potholes to Capitol Hill, we share stories and insights from biologists, policy leaders, gear experts, and dedicated hunters who live for migration. Discover how research, habitat conservation, duck production tools, and smart policies keep ducks flying — and why your voice as a duck hunter is more important than ever.

-Waterfowl population trends and breeding-ground science
-Habitat restoration and conservation policy breakdowns
-Gear innovation, retriever training, and hunting strategy
-Hunter recruitment and education (First Hunt, University Hunting Program)
-Conversations from the marsh — stories, heritage, and community
Whether you’re chasing ducks in the prairies, pursuing divers along the coast, hunting them in southern timber, or just a passionate waterfowl enthusiast, this show connects the science and stories that make healthy duck populations and duck hunting possible.

Welcome back to another episode of Delta Waterfowl’s The Voice of the Duck Hunter.
Two retired U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service special agents join us for a powerful and eye-opening conversation. Rich Grosz — one of our most requested guests — returns, and this time he’s joined by his longtime colleague and friend Jay Pilgrim.
In this episode, we dive deeper into one of the most controversial and commonly misunderstood violations in waterfowl hunting: baiting. How do federal agents detect it? What really counts as baiting? And how do good hunters sometimes find themselves in serious trouble?
Rich and Jay share firsthand stories from decades in the field enforcing federal waterfowl laws, along with lessons every duck hunter should understand before stepping into the blind.
If you care about ethical hunting and protecting the future of waterfowl, this is a must-watch episode.
