Duck Lore Season 1

Introducing Duck Lore, MeatEater’s first original Waterfowl series featuring Sean Weaver. Come along as we hunt ducks from Texas to Washington and everywhere in between.

Duck hunters, including myself, love to tell stories about hitting the migration just right and limiting out. However, that’s not always reality. Duck hunting is hard work, and birds on a strap are only part of the experience. The real story is one of trial and error, broken gear, and a life of learning all things waterfowl. Of course, we all want to go home with some birds, but limits aren’t what keep duck hunting alive, and that’s what I’m going to talk about.

Duck hunters are just different, and they're proud of it. They long for bitter north winds, icy waters, and flocks of birds falling from the heavens.

Coming Summer 2022

First Lite Waterfowl Gear

Every avid waterfowler demands two primary things from their gear; it has to be dry and it has to be durable. This is why we will be expanding our gear content and showing you what Sean and his crew use for each hunt and why. We will also be breaking down some of the most important features in First Lite’s Typha gear and how it functioned for us throughout all the conditions we endured.

This gear is waterproof and tough enough to wear into the blind, use as a dog bed all day, then throw back on and get home warm and dry. I even packed my frozen ducks home inside that parka and they stayed frozen for an easy 10 hours.
