A familiar name to many in Bradley County, longtime Arkansas public land hunter Andy Gibbs recently appeared on the Purely Public Duck Hunting Podcast to share stories of his upbringing, hunting roots, and experiences in the flooded timberlands that have defined much of Arkansas’s duck hunting heritage.
The episode, hosted by Chris Kaiser, regional director of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, was released on October 5 and includes reflections from Gibbs on growing up in Arkansas — including Warren and Bradley County — and how the landscape and hunting culture have evolved over the years.
According to the episode description, “Listeners will hear how their choices can make a difference in the duck woods and be selective in what they harvest and how they can always be a positive influence to others sharing the resources we all love.”
In an email to Saline River News, Gibbs noted that much of the conversation during the podcast focused specifically on Warren and Bradley County. He also shared links to the episode, available through Apple Podcasts at:
