PART 1—For 71 years, Worth Matthewson of Eugene, Oregon, has chased waterfowl and other game birds throughout North America and worldwide. A genuine side-by-side and big-bore aficionado, he’s authored many books and is widely recognized as an authority in waterfowling history, having accumulated so many stories it takes 2 episodes to scratch the surface good. With unrivaled perspective, Matthewson covers many topics to include an early interest in birds, memorable hunting locations, influences, favorite species and the ones that elude him still, collecting big-bore and traditional shotguns, recovering a favorite shotgun 2 years after losing it overboard, a tragic hunt on Tillamook Bay, favorite and most challenging game bird species, punt gunning, hunting worldwide with his hunting partner wife, sportsmanship and bag limits, old-school and modern-day waterfowl hunting methods, best hunter ever met, band-tail pigeon hunting, selling off his collection for a good cause, changes he’s witnessed, things he’d maybe change, hopes and concerns for the future of waterfowling, and much more.
