Corey travels to the small but mighty town of Wallace, South Dakota to visit with one of the most gifted wildlife artists of our time... this year's duck stamp competition winner Adam Grimm (three time winner) .

Adam describes his childhood ambition to pursue art and the guys discuss how difficult it is and what a rarity to be able to have a long and successful career as an artist.

Adam's journey from becoming the youngest ever winner of the duck stamp competition and his resiliency through the ups and downs is loaded with lessons learned and it's clear that he is passionate about waterfowl, and that passion is shared by his entire family.

He also shares some insight into the duck stamp competition and Corey discusses the growing concerns about keeping the duck stamp tradition alive.

He's joined by good friend and avid waterfowler Lucas Belanger.

Jeff shares how his upbringing led to a life as a guide, essentially describing the roots of the family run Stanfield Hunting Outfitters near Knox City, Texas. He talks about how the idea of a podcast came from his son Andy, who not only works every day alongside him running the hunts, but co-hosts and produces the top waterfowl podcast in the nation, The Big Honker Podcast.

Belanger helps paint the picture of why stays at Stanfield's the Big Honker Lodge are so special, and the guys discuss why it feels like family every time they're down there.

Corey Lucas and producer Clayton Beaird sit down in the Cedar Run Decoy Co. studio with Great Lakes boat captain and avid waterfowler Karl Hardesty.

Growing up around the Great Lakes, the sight of a freighter on the horizon of the big lakes is not uncommon. Karl steps us through how he built a career steering these ships around the big freshwaters of Lake Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Superior. They also learn how the ships hide from storms and what they're hauling around.

Karl also shares his cool experiences getting to hunt along side his Dad growing up in Alpena in northern Michigan, and how that has shaped the style of hunting he still does today.

Great time with some great stories from a man who shares the same passion for traditional waterfowl hunting as Cedar Run Decoy Co. !
