Brad Cohen & Doug Osborne-The Bonafide Truth of Duck Hunting's Downturn
Episode 61
Thursday, 15 January, 2026
Two of the sharpest minds in waterfowl science are back and they aren’t here to sugarcoat what's going on with the sport. Brad Cohen (Cohen Wildlife Lab) and Doug Osborne (Snowden Center for Waterfowl Excellence) dig into the hard truth behind duck hunting’s recent decline, what’s actually driving it, and more importantly, what we can do about it.They cut through the noise, separate fact from folklore, and lay out what truly matters versus what should fall further down the priority list. It’s a balanced, no-nonsense conversation that looks at every issue from both sides of the coin without losing sight of the big picture.If you listen to this episode and don’t learn something…you weren’t paying attention.>>>Thanks to our sponsors: Tom Beckbe, Lile Real Estate, Perfect Limit Outdoors, Purina Pro Plan, Sitka Gear, Greenhead: The Arkansas Duck Hunting Magazine, Noah Perry-Raymond James, and Ducks Unlimited.Send us a textAll Rights Reserved.
