On this episode of The Nomadic Outdoorsman Dan talks with his cousin and good hunting buddy Sam Maedke about what it takes to start a guiding business for waterfowl.

Sam guided waterfowl hunts for other outfitters for several years and has recently decided to start his own guiding service. Sam primarily hunts in the Northeast corner of Wisconsin but loves to explore new places and get new properties. Sam spends his spring helping friends and family punch their tags on Turkey and spends his fall chasing anything that flies. Dan and Sam grew up hunting together in their home state of Wisconsin and spent a few years knocking down what birds they could in Missouri. This episode is full of stories and how-to’s when it comes to chasing migrating birds.
