In this episode of Ten Minute Tuesday, the guys talk about beating the off-season blues and staying connected to hunting when the marshes are quiet. From organizing decoys, boats, trailers, and hunting gear to attending summer trade shows like Dux and Game Fair, they share some of their favorite ways to keep the excitement alive throughout the summer. They also discuss sporting clays, trap shooting, golfing, chasing better scores, and why now is the perfect time to get your gear—and yourself—ready for another season. Whether you're counting down the days until fall or just looking for ways to scratch the waterfowl itch, this episode is full of ideas to help make the off-season go by a little faster. And as always, the guys mix in plenty of laughs, hunting stories, and the usual Midwest Flyways banter along the way. Join Flyways Hunt Club and get 1 month free!
