The 2025–2026 duck season is in the books, and Native Ways is breaking it all down. From early teal to the final splits, we’re recapping the highs, the struggles, and everything in between from chasing birds across Texas public land.

In this episode, we talk about how the migration really played out this year, what worked (and what didn’t), and the moments that made the grind worth it—whether it was big wigeon shoots, tough weather hunts, or those days when nothing went right but we stuck it out anyway. We also dive into gear that proved itself, lessons learned in the field, and how access and pressure shaped the season.

No fluff—just real talk from guys who lived it day in and day out.

If you were in the blind this season, you’ll relate. If not, this is as close as it gets.
