Overview
Phil Kahnke talks to us about his photography and duck hunting.   Phil tells us about his techniques and philosophy for capturing his incredible images.   I was particularly intrigued by our conversation about his philosophy for photographing the hunting lifestyle, which I believe appeals to hunters and non-hunters alike.   I challenged Phil to provide a photos for this podcast and our instagram site (@huntingscience) that would make anyone go hunting and it seems to me he accomplished that in aces. No conversation with Phil would be complete without talking about duck hunting and we definitely spend time on that topic as well. Thanks again to Phil for talking to us, sharing his amazing images, and educating us about photography and duck hunting.
