In this episode, Courtney sits down with Scott McGaugh of the Duck Camp in Washington to explore the world of waterfowl hunting. Scott shares his journey from upland hunting with his son to creating the Duck Camp—a welcoming space where families and hunters can connect, learn, and enjoy the outdoors. Scott discusses the challenges beginners face, from learning how to scout and set up decoys to managing expectations in the field. He highlights the importance of mentorship and education in building a supportive hunting community and shares valuable insights gained from his experience. The episode also delves into Scott’s dedication to conservation, including his work with organizations like Ducks Unlimited to support wetland preservation. His hands-on approach and passion for creating a positive, inclusive environment make this conversation both informative and inspiring for anyone curious about duck hunting or the intersection of hunting and conservation. The episode concludes with an exciting announcement about two upcoming Her Outdoor Journey retreats at the Duck Camp. These retreats are designed to introduce women to waterfowl and snow goose hunting in a supportive, fun, and educational setting. The Intro to Waterfowl Retreat (January 24-26, 2025) focuses on the basics of waterfowl hunting, including blind techniques, decoy placement, and scouting. The Intro to Snow Goose Hunting Retreat (February 7-9, 2025) offers a similar foundation while exploring the unique challenges and rewards of snow goose hunting. Both retreats provide an incredible opportunity to build new skills, connect with like-minded women, and enjoy the camaraderie of the outdoors. With expert guidance and plenty of laughter, these events promise to be unforgettable experiences. To reserve your spot, click the link here. Spaces are limited, so don’t wait!
