Cal in the Field

Cal heads to a waterfowl mecca — California's Sacramento Valley — where he joins Sean Doherty and local guide Scott Feist for a hunt in the heart of the nation's largest agricultural region. The rice fields they're hunting provide vital habitat for waterfowl outside of planting season. Thanks to ongoing conservation efforts, native ducks, geese, and shorebirds have returned to the area. The same water that grows food and attracts birds could also help revive the native fishery.
