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. !
