There's nothing better than the adventure you find when you travel somewhere for a hunting trip. It's tough to explain but there's always something new and exciting, whether it's how you're hunting birds, the food, the city, the language, decoys, etc., it's just wild. Today we talk with our friend, Ramsey Russell, from GetDucks, about his dog and chasing ducks all over the world.
