Looking Back, Looking Ahead

About this episode

The episode explores waterfowl culture, hunting gear, and balancing passions with family and work.

In this episode, Cal, Joey, and Carter dive deep into waterfowl culture, breaking down the truth about goose calls, why gear matters (and when it doesn’t), and how different regions shape the way hunters hunt. But this one goes way beyond hunting. The guys get real about chasing passions, building Midwest Flyways over the past decade, and what it actually takes to balance family, work, and an obsession with the outdoors. From hilarious stories and industry insights to a raw conversation about dream lifestyles—owning land out west, building cabins by hand, and refusing to give up the things that make life worth living—this episode hits on what it means to build a life you’re proud of. If you’ve ever felt the pull to hunt more, create more, or just live differently… this one’s for you. Plus: gear talk, giveaways, and why a $20 goose call might be holding you back.
