In this episode, host Jon Blevins sits down with Tim McHugh, a duck club manager at one of Missouri’s historic clubs, for a deep dive into what it really takes to run a successful season in the marsh.

Tim shares the day-to-day realities of managing a duck club — from habitat preparation and water management to pressure control and long-term planning — and how those decisions don’t just impact one property, but influence duck movement and hunting across the entire region.

Beyond the blind, the conversation shifts to life off the water. Jon and Tim talk about raising a family, getting kids involved in the outdoors, and balancing the demands of a unique career with being present at home. Tim also shares how he found his way into duck club management and what it takes to make a living in such a specialized role.

If you’re passionate about duck hunting, conservation, and the traditions that keep the sport alive, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
