Jon hosts a solo episode of the Filthy Spoon Podcast with sponsor shout-outs and a feature interview with Cody Griffith of Triple B Outdoors about Arkansas hunting. They cover dove, teal, goose and duck seasons, decoy and gear tips, and how weather and habitat shifts are affecting migration.

The episode also includes sponsor highlights (Willow Creek Custom Calls, Tule Creek Hunting Outfitters, Duck Chugger, G&T Truck Repair, 818 Inspections, Shannon J. Kelly, Sacramento SCI), personal hunting stories, gear recommendations (guns, shells, waders) and plans for upcoming hunts.

Jon talks with Scott White, General Manager of the Klamath Drainage District, about water management, refuge recovery, and how renewed flows helped wetlands and migratory birds after recent droughts.

They discuss the district’s history, its role delivering Klamath River water to Lower Klamath, impacts on local communities and hunting, and plans for restoration and future habitat work.

The episode also includes sponsor shoutouts and community updates; follow Klamath Drainage District on Instagram for photos and updates.

Hosts and guests hunt dove and pigeons in Yuma along the border wall, contend with a surprise monsoon that floods fields and slows the birds, and share stories of canal rescues, helicopter flyovers, and late‑night pool antics.

The episode also highlights sponsors and custom call makers, offers a special Tule Creek discount for listeners, and mixes hunting gear talk with food, camaraderie, and off‑the‑wall humor.

On Dove Season Eve the hosts run through sponsor shout-outs (Willow Creek Custom Calls, Tule Creek Hunting Outfitters, G&T Truck Repair, 818 Inspections, Shannon J. Kelly, SCI Sacramento) and then sit down with Derek Shewick, Wildlife Habitat Manager for the Upper Butte Basin. The conversation covers dove habitat work, planting safflower and sunflowers, banding, refuge management, and practical scouting and hunting tips.

They also discuss veterans programs (VHP/SenDaVet), the value of conservation groups like SCI Sacramento, personal Ranger/Military stories, gear and ammo preferences, and local hunting plans and events leading into opening day.
