Tasker jumps in quick for a brief episode and update this week. Back next week with a monster episode from the entire ATA show - one we wont forget!

Summary In this episode of Tailgate Talk, host Erik Tasker and his family discuss their passion for hunting, particularly waterfowl hunting. They share personal stories, insights on the differences between deer and duck hunting, and the importance of scouting and preparation. The conversation highlights the joy of hunting with family, the role of hunting dogs, and reflections on the past season while looking forward to future adventures.
