Host Erin Crider sits down with Sarah Fleming, Ducks Unlimited’s Managing Director of Conservation Programs for the Northeast Region, to talk about what every new waterfowl hunter should know before stepping into the blind. They unpack how migration and weather shape your hunt, why expectations matter, and how every license and duck stamp supports wetlands conservation. Whether you’re a new outdoorswoman or looking to better understand the flyways, this episode will help you set yourself up for success this season.
What should women know before buying a handgun? How do you find the right trainer? And what role does mindset play in everyday safety? Adrian is joined by firearms expert Beth Alcazar to answer these questions and more. They explore concealed carry, training tips, situational awareness, and why personal safety is about much more than the gun itself.
