Elliott does a great job of engaging with followers. His content is top notch for beginner to experienced alike.

Sabot55 · Mar 2025

Where do I start…? To be honest, when I first started listening to the show, I thought it would be another one of those podcast where it’s only about shooting ducks killing limits having stacks. However, I quickly realized that this show is not just about that. It’s more about finding yourself your inner duck hunter, your family man all around a good human being. I have to say, Elliot you have a way of putting things that when you’re listening to the show, it strikes nerves deep down where it gives someone goosebumps or frogs in your throat. Keep the episodes coming!

mhertoro · Jul 2024

Elliot’s humility and desire to educate others while self educating through the knowledge of other waterfowl professionals is unsurpassed! He brings a “truth” to the pursuit while sharing the “Truth” with the strength of a feather as opposed to a hammer. This podcast brings the transparency of failures and weaknesses (long days in the field and the scares of health concerns) along with the successes and spirited relationships. This subscriber doesn’t miss an opportunity to tune in - keep digging Mr. Snider!
