EP 273. Old School Trader, Keeper of American Traditions

Duck Season Somewhere
Duck Season Somewhere
Episode • Aug 11, 2022 • 1h 2m

On the front porch of a rustic, swamp-encompassed, little red camphouse, hunters gathered around fedora-topped, pipe-smoking Destry Hoffard, admiring an older-than-most-people-in-camp Winchester Model 21 two-shooter he'd brought to duck hunt Argentina. In fact, everything he packed had the venerable patina of times past--especially his duck hunting mind-set. Born and raised in Illinois, Hoffard is a genuine American Picker (even though he hates that title). He tells a fascinating story about early influences, goose guiding near Cairo, Illinois, interesting finds, why that old gun is truly special, and why the good old days in America really were.
