Top 5 Hunts of 2025 & the Lessons That Mattered Most

2025 was a season I won’t forget. In this episode of the Duck Gun Podcast, I’m breaking down my top 5 hunts from 2025—not just the birds that hit the ground, but the moments, mistakes, and lessons that stuck with me long after the hunt was over. From hunts that went perfectly… to ones that almost fell apart, each of these experiences taught me something valuable about preparation, patience, decision-making, and why we really chase this lifestyle in the first place. Whether you’re a seasoned waterfowler or just getting started, this episode isn’t about bragging—it’s about learning, reflecting, and becoming a better hunter with every season. If you hunted in 2025, this one will hit home. Hunt Hard. Eat Well. 👉 Let me know which hunt from your season taught you the biggest lesson. 🔥 Partners That Make It Happen TideWe — Gear up for the season: TideWe.com | Use code DUCKGUN18 Flight Day — Code DUCKGUN OnX Hunt — Scout smarter, hunt better Weatherby — Trusted firepower from the blind Shotty Gear — Waterproof ammo bags, gun cases, and backpacks built for hunters like us

Hot Tent & High Winds: Mississippi Migration Hunt

North wind, hot tent, and a last-minute call — we chased the Mississippi migration and found the X.

In this Duck Gun Podcast, Jordan and Young Padawan break down a whirlwind river trip: the on-the-fly decision, brutal marsh walks, reading wind and water, how we located wild-rice pockets, and the hunt where birds finally locked, hovered, and paid the price.

We also talk public-land etiquette (jump-shooters mid-hunt…), coots vs. greenheads, and what actually worked to turn scouting into limits.

🦆 What’s Inside

• Real-world Mississippi River duck camp tactics

• Weather-driven moves: timing a big temp drop & NW winds

• Finding food + cover: wild rice, cattails, and hide choices

• The exact sequence we used to ID the X from the boat

• Gear that helped: waders, waterproof bags, base layers

• Camp life in a hot tent (and how not to roast at 3 a.m.)
