Hosts and guests hunt dove and pigeons in Yuma along the border wall, contend with a surprise monsoon that floods fields and slows the birds, and share stories of canal rescues, helicopter flyovers, and late‑night pool antics.

The episode also highlights sponsors and custom call makers, offers a special Tule Creek discount for listeners, and mixes hunting gear talk with food, camaraderie, and off‑the‑wall humor.

On Dove Season Eve the hosts run through sponsor shout-outs (Willow Creek Custom Calls, Tule Creek Hunting Outfitters, G&T Truck Repair, 818 Inspections, Shannon J. Kelly, SCI Sacramento) and then sit down with Derek Shewick, Wildlife Habitat Manager for the Upper Butte Basin. The conversation covers dove habitat work, planting safflower and sunflowers, banding, refuge management, and practical scouting and hunting tips.

They also discuss veterans programs (VHP/SenDaVet), the value of conservation groups like SCI Sacramento, personal Ranger/Military stories, gear and ammo preferences, and local hunting plans and events leading into opening day.

Jon and Robert bring listeners to Duck Days with interviews from sponsors and makers: Willow Creek Custom Calls, Duck Chugger, Tule Creek Hunting Outfitters, G&T Truck Repair and High and Dry Waders. The episode highlights new gear, sponsor shout-outs and show-floor energy.

Guests include Brad Jones on the Mini Marsh call design, Jake from Tule Creek on guided hunts and lodging in Modoc County, CWA technicians on summer banding, rocket nets and swim traps, and Mike Harden on handcrafted custom calls.

The episode captures community camaraderie, field stories, upcoming hunt plans and where to find the sponsors and guides online.
