Ep. 109 November Recap & December Openings: CWA Hunts, Rice Blinds & Staten Highlights — Save it for the Blind Podcast

Carson Odegard (fresh off dad duty) and Jeff Smith run a quick, no-nonsense update on how November hunts went across CWA properties—and what’s opening up for December. From Staten Island’s lights-out start to new rice blinds coming online (including veteran blinds), this one’s your fast guide to where birds are working and how to grab a spot.

What you’ll hear

Carson’s back and lining up winter hunts—then straight into a November conditions snapshot.
New access coming online: Gatti is filled and running as a veteran blind; Whitman is up next—and it’s veteran access as well.
O’Banion rice blind: still has open dates—good chance to slip in before the next weather bump.
Potrero (rice) additions: new Sunday dates in December—reserve your blind at calwaterfowl.org.
Hot start at Staten Island: first hunts were phenomenal—as good an opener as we’ve seen there.
What’s next: final regular-season draw coming up with a “bunch of really good hunts” to apply for.

If you’re planning the next pull, this quick hit tells you what’s hunting, what’s about to, and where to jump on remaining dates.
