episode E558 - Duck Blind Business | A Tribute to John Lamonico cover

Beskrivelse

Chad's still on location at Premier Prairie in Kansas with Randy Young and Lynn McDonald when the conversation turns to someone who meant a great deal to all of them. John Lamonico passed away at 95. Safari Club International world records. Hunted in nearly 40 countries. Black and blue from his knuckles to his navel at 91 from trying to shoot 1000 doves. Rigged to the side of a cliff at 90 just to make the climb. Still jumping in and out of airboats at 92 like it was nothing. But none of that is really what the heart of this episode is about. It's about the man in the blind. The patience he had. The way he'd watch a flock and call exactly where they'd go. The way he made every person around him feel like they were the best hunter he'd ever been with. The way he showed up for photo shoots at 90, held poses as long as you needed, and never once made it about himself. The duck blind is the great equalizer. The place where business gets done on a handshake, friendships get built, and the best people in your life somehow find their way to you. Rest in peace, John Lamonico. He's up there in the duck blind with the best of them.

episode E563 - Axis Deer in Texas | The Rut is in June - Solo With Chad cover

E563 - Axis Deer in Texas | The Rut is in June - Solo With Chad

Chad just got back from Wisconsin, and he's not slowing down. Next stop is Texas for an axis deer hunt during the rut with Jason Vanderbrink, CEO of the Kinetic Group. When you think Federal, Remington, Speer, CCI, Heavy Shot, Black Cloud — this is the man behind all of it, and he's invited Chad down to the San Antonio hill country for a spot and stalk during one of the most exciting times of the year to be in the field. Chad's shooting a Benelli Lupo with Federal Premium Ammunition, and he is ready. The trip also includes Hayes Carl at Green Hall in New Braunfels, one of Chad's favorite venues and one of his favorite songwriters. Compadre's Tacos in Bertram. Jason's game room, and something personal Chad's keeping close to the heart. It's all happening! Season 18 of Benelli's The Fowl Life premieres on the Outdoor Channel in July before moving to MoTV, and Chad hasn't shot a big game animal in a while. He's an all-ducks, all-geese guy at heart, but axis deer during the rut in the Texas hill country? That'll do it! This episode is brought to you by Corning Ford, The Nashville Palace, Banded Brands, Avery Outdoors, Benelli, and Realtree camo.

E560 - Banded Drake Ranch Part 1 | Inside the Most Exciting Duck Club in Texas

Chad's been a part of something big in Texas, and he's ready to pull the curtain back and dive into the details. Banded Drake Ranch. 750 acres just north of Paris, Texas — 90 minutes from Dallas-Fort Worth, right on the edge of the Oklahoma panhandle. Flooded corn, natural marsh, flooded timber, rice, millet, and the Red River. This is part one of a series, and Chad starts from the ground up. From the huntable areas (All 14 of them) to the main marsh, the LP, the Triangle, the Super Slew, the Timber, the Crescent, the Park, the Wood Duck Hole, the Inner Band, the Outer Band, and more. Every inch of this property has been thought through by Matt Roseman. The blinds, the water levels, the food sources, the roosts, the loafing areas. Nothing is ever wasted, and nothing is ever random. There are 19 total memberships, and a few are left. Hunt Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays, storm days, and holidays. Bring a guest. Pass it down to your kids. This is a duck club built for the long haul. This episode is presented by Nutrien Ag Solutions; the team keeping BDR's soil, crops, and water management dialed in from the ground up.
