Lone Duck’s Gun Dog Chronicles

Today we had the absolute pleasure of hanging out with our buddy, Rustin Morgan, from Dry Creek Outfitters. If you haven't heard of them, you're missing out.

We kick off the show with Blaine introducing Rustin and we hear how Rustin got into hunting and how he started his business with a relentless work ethic. Then we get talking a little about how they've worked together and how Rustin got his first dog (a boykin!). Blaine spent a ton of time choosing a litter and training the right dog to make sure Rustin got the ideal truck buddy and guide dog and let me tell you, Guy is exactly that. We chat with Rustin about Guy's first hunting season and hear the good, the unexpected and his workout routine for the dog that includes a pool and dumbbells.... it'll make sense when you listen.

It was great to speak with Rustin and talk business. It's always inspiring to spend time with driven people who share common interests like dogs, bird hunting, entrepreneurship and working hard. If you're interested in having one of the coolest hunts ever, then you should give Rustin a call. Cheers.

Today we had the absolute pleasure of chatting with our buddy, Randall Lykens, from Liberty Canine LLC. Randall is an extremely knowledgeable dog trainer who uses a variety of methods to train high performing dogs. Randall is a passionate hunter who spent a lot of his life working for the US Army.

We spent a good bit of time discussing his time in the Special Forces and learning how impactful working dogs can be for a team of people. Randall worked as a Dog Handler for a while and shares a few stories that left my jaw on the floor. It's incredible that we have people like Randall on our side and we're pretty lucky to have had him hang out on our show, share a few stories and lessons he learned over the years. Randall mentions a few fantastic trainers who he looks up to and their Instagram handles are below:

This week's episode is extra special because we have our buddy, Luke Moore, from Gunner joining us and we also have Blaine live and in person. We kick off the show learning about Luke and how he got started chasing birds alongside a dog when he was just a boy. Like many people, Luke had the pleasure of growing up in a home where hunting with a dog was a central part of life. Currently, Luke has an older dog, Goose, who he grew up alongside and trained. Luke and Blaine trade a few hunting stories and talk about when their dogs had lightbulb moments and just "got it."

Then we jump into Luke's new dog, Dex, and hear about the training and how he is working him through each stage toward being his family's next hunting buddy. It's pretty easy to get hooked on dogs and man, Luke is pretty hooked. Then we chat with Luke about some of Gunner's latest and greatest inventions and how we have tons to look forward to as they continue to innovate our industry. Thanks to Luke for coming on the show, exchanging stories and having a good time.

We have a special episode today because we get to chat with our buddy, Marshall, from Treasure Island Outfitters. We met Marshall last year when our patreon crew went down to southern Missouri to shoot ducks and train dogs for three awesome days. Aside from seeing a crazy number of birds, telling stories with friends, working dogs and eating until we just couldn't anymore... we had a really good time hanging with Marshall and his guides. So when it was time to commit to another year of hunting with Treasure Island, we asked Marshall to join our show and hang out for a bit. In this show, you'll hear how Marshall and his business partners got into the hunting business, about their lodge, their hunting techniques, his dogs, etc. I promise, it won't take long to understand why we enjoyed hanging out and hunting with these guys.

Want to join us for a 3 duck hunts, dog training seminars, all you can eat, drink and more? Hit us up, we have a few spots left for our hunt with these guys in December 2024.

Today's show is a real treat because we had the pleasure of hanging out with some of the guys from First Lite, Michael Rietveld and Cody Dinsmoor. These two fellas were a ton of fun to have a beer with and talk dogs.

First we dig into how these guys got into the outdoor space and how they got into hunting alongside dogs. We trade a few hunting stories about the most recent hunting season and really dig into their training, how their dogs are learning and progressing and what they're working toward. It's pretty cool to see how people get into a hobby and then take it to the next level. If you think you like hunting with your dog, wait to hear how much these guys get after it. Then we dig into a few stories from a recent bear hunt because why not? Overall, this was an awesome episode and I think you'll enjoy it as much as we did. Cheers!

If you are living under a rock and don't already, check out First Lite and keep an eye out for some cool stuff coming....
