   Dreams Of Saskatchewa

   In this week's episode of the Punisher Waterfowl Podcast, we dive deep into the allure of hunting in Saskatchewan with seasoned hunters Craig Lalonde, Steven Horst, and host Damien Pittman. # # Why Saskatchewan? The episode begins with a compelling discussion about why Saskatchewan has become a popular destination for bird hunting. Craig and Steve share their recent experiences hunting in the province, explaining that while Manitoba and Alberta also offer great opportunities, Saskatchewan has its own unique appeal. > "It was for specs. I wanted to go out because I wanted to knock specs and cranes off the list." — **Steven Horst** Steve highlights the specific bird species they aimed for, emphasizing that Saskatchewan provided the best chances for both snow geese and cranes. The conversation touches on the geographical factors influencing their choice, with both Craig and Steve noting the importance of being in the right areas to maximize their hunting success. ## The Journey to Saskatchewan Travel logistics are also a significant part of their adventure. Craig shares how they planned their route using AI tools to optimize their journey, highlighting the importance of safety and planning when traveling such long distances. They discuss the challenges of driving through Ontario, especially in areas where cell service is spotty and finding accommodations can be tricky. > "I called Carrie at the top of a hill because we were just going through all the big hills..." — **Craig Lalonde** Their travel anecdotes reveal the camaraderie and humor that often accompany hunting trips, making it clear that the journey is just as important as the destination. ## Reflections on Hunting Experiences As they reflect on their hunting experiences, Craig mentions his preference for Manitoba based on previous trips, while Steve appreciates the unique qualities of Saskatchewan. Damien adds a broader perspective, suggesting that many hunters default to Saskatchewan without considering the equally viable options available in Alberta and Manitoba. > "If I was picking my spot to hunt, it would be Alberta every day." — **Damien Pittman** This candid discussion about preferences and experiences in different provinces provides valuable insights for hunters considering their next trip. ## Conclusion The episode wraps up with a reminder of the joys of hunting, exploring new areas, and the friendships built along the way. Whether you're a seasoned hunter or new to the sport, the stories shared resonate with anyone who appreciates the thrill of the chase. For the full episode, tune in to hear more about their adventures and the beautiful landscapes of Saskatchewan. --- Sit Back and Enjoy Looking for new products?

   The Punisher Waterfowl Podcast Ep.285 with Rixey Outdoors

   Welcome back to the Punisher Waterfowl Podcast! In this episode, Damien Pittman sits down with Todd Ezzi from Rixie Outdoors to explore the vibrant duck hunting culture of Arkansas and the journey that led Todd to create innovative products for hunters and their canine companions. ## The Madness of Memphis Todd shares his experience at the Memphis show, where the energy was palpable. "Man, Memphis is right in the heart of our main business," Todd explains, highlighting the enthusiasm of duck hunters in the region. The booth was bustling, and Todd recalls the challenges of managing it as a one-man show. He reminisces, "It was chaos. I think we could have had ten people working the booth and it would have still been crazy." ## A Passion Ignited Todd's journey into duck hunting began without any familial ties to the sport. "I was one of those kids that didn't have parents or really any direct family that hunted," he reveals. Thanks to mentors in his life, he discovered his love for the outdoors and duck hunting. "I lived for the TV shows back then... but to experience the outdoors, I had to rely on some mentors." ## The Allure of Arkansas Duck Hunting When asked what makes Arkansas a prime destination for duck hunting, Todd responds with passion. "The duck hunting culture here is unmatched. From November to January, it's heavily focused on duck hunting. I think that is probably a difference." He points out the unique flyway that funnels ducks through the area, making it a hotspot for hunters. ## The Bond with Our Dogs "I can't tell you how many times I've woken up thinking about sleeping in, but the dog is what gets me out of bed," Todd shares, emphasizing the special bond between hunters and their dogs. He reflects on how his love for dogs started with a golden retriever owned by a family friend, setting him on a path to becoming a passionate dog owner and trainer. ## Solving Problems with Rixie Outdoors Todd discusses the driving force behind Rixie Outdoors, stating, "A good business comes from identifying a problem and solving it." He reflects on the practicalities that led to the creation of their dog stand, addressing the needs of duck hunters who rely on their dogs in the field. As Todd and Damien delve into the rich tapestry of duck hunting culture and the innovative spirit behind Rixie Outdoors, listeners are left with a deeper appreciation for not just the sport but the community that surrounds it. In this episode, you’ll find a blend of storytelling and insight that captures the essence of duck hunting in Arkansas.
