## Resource

In this episode of the Dive Bomb SquadCast, Matt Judy reflects on the closing stretch of duck season and dives into the realities of wigeon hunting. From late-season conditions to solo hunts with his dog, Matt shares personal experiences and field insight from another year in the marsh. The conversation breaks down the common misconceptions around “storm wigeon,” including why they are often misidentified, how rare true specimens actually are, and why their appearance comes from genetic mutation rather than age or subspecies. Matt also talks about the constant stream of photos hunters send asking if their birds qualify—and the high personal standard he holds for calling one a true storm. Beyond the birds themselves, this episode touches on why solo hunts can be some of the most rewarding, the importance of enjoying time in the field, and the mixed emotions that come with the end of another season.
