Monthly Sponsors: North Dakota Tourism Weatherby The future of waterfowl hunting depends on more than ducks. It depends on community, storytelling, and getting new people involved. Recorded live from the Duck Den at DUX 2026 , host Jimbo Robinson sits down with the team behind Split Reed : Zach , Brennan , and Max . The conversation explores how a digital waterfowl publication grew into a community-driven platform focused on hunting, conservation, storytelling, and helping new hunters find their place in the sport. The group discusses the origins of Split Reed, the success of the Road Duck Tour series, public land hunting culture, and why authentic storytelling continues to resonate in an increasingly crowded digital world. Along the way, they share thoughts on recruiting young hunters, building friendships through waterfowling, and why community is still the most important part of the sport. Topics Covered The origin and mission of Split Reed Building a waterfowl-focused media community The Road Duck Tour series Public land duck hunting and DIY adventures Storytelling in modern hunting culture Recruiting and inspiring new hunters Waterfowl industry friendships and partnerships Why community remains central to waterfowling DUX 2026 highlights and favorite products Listen now : www.ducks.org/DUPodcast Send feedback : DUPodcast@ducks.org SPONSORS : Bird Dog Whiskey and Cocktails : Whether you’re winding down with your best friend, or celebrating with your favorite crew, Bird Dog brings award-winning flavor to every moment.
