Ben discusses his background in waterfowl hunting and the story behind the private land he has access to. The property was initially purchased by his grandfather and his friends in the early 1970s. Over the years, more land was acquired by Ben's father and uncle. The property features unique timber areas that attract ducks, and the family has put in levee systems to manage the water levels. Ben also talks about his passion for ammunition and the development of his own brand, Flight Day Ammunition. The conversation revolves around the management of a duck hunting property, specifically focusing on the use of pumps to control water levels and create optimal hunting conditions. The guest shares insights into the history of the property, including the initial development of ponds in the timber and the challenges that arose from this approach. They discuss the process of purchasing and installing a pump, as well as the timing and duration of pumping during the hunting season. The conversation also touches on off-season management tasks, such as habitat maintenance and crop planting. Ben discusses the load patterns and specifications of his ammunition. He emphasizes the importance of clean kills and the ability to shoot at longer ranges. Ben explains the use of full-length wads and the benefits they provide in terms of pattern and performance. He also discusses the differences between 20 gauge and 12 gauge shotguns and the recoil they produce. The conversation concludes with Ben sharing a memorable hunting experience with a young hunter.
