Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver are joined by Ben Commodore of Cloud 9 Outfitters in Alberta. The conversation covers a wide range of topics, including discussions around Alberta’s political climate and the idea of separation, as well as Ben’s perspective from living and working north of the border. They also break down the exceptional waterfowl season Ben experienced, including the impact of a warm, dry winter that kept large numbers of birds in Canada, the noticeable boom in specklebelly geese, and the increasing challenges surrounding visas for American waterfowl guides looking to work in Canada.
