EP. 79: Traveling For Ducks & Chasing Divers The Old School Way with Zach Kondrad
On this episode of The Migration Waterfowl Podcast, your host Brian Halbleib welcomes Zach Kondrad to the show. Zach is a very accomplished waterfowl hunter from Michigan. He is also the founder and owner of Blue Waterfowl, manufacturer of v-board decoy systems and decoy silhouettes. Zach talks about what it was like growing up waterfowl hunting in Michigan and who his early mentors were. He discusses how his love of hunting influenced his decision to leave the city where he grew up to attend college ten hours north in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Brian & Zach also talk about his growth as a waterfowl hunter, what lessons he learned to make him a better hunter and how he ended up getting involved with Duck Gun Chronicles. They talk about the challenges of running a business in the waterfowl industry and how Blue Waterfowl is helping hunters solve diver duck hunting problems with a forgotten decoy technique. Zach also offers his tips and stories related to his travel hunting out of state and how easy it is to extend your season.
