About this episode
Today's special guest hails from Louisiana, where for decades he lurked in the shadows as a game warden. Extremely good at it, he wrote 365 violations one particular year - an average of one per day! Louisiana's unique cultural history involves hunting for certain migratory birds species other than ducks, too. What are gros becs and bec croches ? And did anyone really hunt American robins? Why was he once sent to "guard a bridge" during season opener, and why did he eventually choose to work for the US Fish and Wildlife Service? While secretly observing duck hunters over the years, what encouraging behavioral change did he perceive? For reasons that'll become plainly evident in listening to these interesting stories, he prefers speaking in strict anonymity. And that's ok. He's a great storyteller and we really hope to have him back in the near future.
