While there is a lot of negative that comes from the border closure, we're going to do our best to focus on the silver lining.

Episode 12 is a little different. A few weeks ago in our closed Facebook group, "Dive Bomb Industries Forum & Fan Page," we stated we wanted 4 Dive Bomb customers across the 4 Flyways to join us on the podcast to talk about how running Dive Bomb decoys have helped them become more successful in the field. This episode features 4 friends of Dive Bomb who were voted in from their respective Flyway by their fellow waterfowl hunters: Brandon Moyer from the Atlantic Flyway, Cody Shimer from the Mississippi Flyway, Loren Whiting from the Central Flyway, & Tyler Bush from the Pacific Flyway. Hope you guys enjoy!
