“A Born Retriever,” a story about Riggins- an all-American family dog, who’s better known for napping than hunting. One day, his owners figured out he actually could be a duck dog when he sprints towards fireworks instead of away from them. With time winding down, Riggin's family tries to train him up to be ready for the end of duck season in Alabama.
Getting into duck hunting can be a challenging endeavor for several reasons. First, it requires a significant investment in both time and resources. Duck hunting often necessitates specialized gear such as decoys, blinds, calls, waders, and firearms, all of which can be quite expensive. These are things.... Ben and Riggins don't have.
Moreover, mastering the art of duck hunting demands patience, skill, and knowledge of waterfowl behavior and habitat. Beginners must learn how to identify different species of ducks, understand their flight patterns, and anticipate their movements, which can take years of experience to develop effectively.... which Ben and Riggins don't have... again. (Notice a pattern?)
Additionally, access to prime duck hunting locations can be limited and competitive. Many of the best hunting spots are on private land or in wildlife management areas that require permits or memberships to access. Securing permission to hunt on private property can be challenging for newcomers, as landowners often prioritize established relationships with seasoned hunters. Furthermore, duck hunting regulations and seasons vary by location and can be complex to navigate, requiring hunters to stay informed and compliant with constantly changing rules and restrictions.
So Riggins and Ben are going to need hunting help. Lots of it.
