Corey and Kaj Podcast presented by Cedar Run Decoy Company

Corey Lucas and Kaj Carlson are joined by Zach Brawley, a southwest Michigan hunter with a passion for traditional waterfowling and a gift for storytelling! We cover everything from shotguns to albino ferrets. Enjoy the laughs as Zach takes us on his journey through his hunting hijinx.

Corey Lucas and Kaj Carlson are joined by Dr. Pete (Philip VanVranken) and Molly VanVranken to discuss all things dogs. Dr. Pete talks about how he established the Dickman Road Veterinary Clinic, what motivates him to continue to practice vet medicine, and guides us through a laundry list of questions about hunting dog injuries, pet care, food selection, and some interesting "finds" over the years.
Dr. Pete has also founded a new dog food company, The Scoop (soon to be rebranded as Voyager Dog Food Co.). We talk about how copper additives (chelated coppers or copper sulfate) in dog food are leading to a rise in copper storage disease, which causes cirrhosis of the liver. Molly VanVranken helps unpack why their dog food is a wise choice and the reasons behind the rebranding to Voyager Dog Food Co.
This episode will give you an inside "Scoop" on hunting dog health care and get you thinking about what we are feeding our hard-working companions. It's a great discussion that we could have continued long into the night... full of great stories, vital information, and trustworthy guidance.

Corey Lucas and Kaj Carlson sit down in the Cedar Run studio with Jason Herbert, author, teacher, and newly crowned Cedar Run Decoy Company staff writer.
Jason has an interesting journey into success in the outdoor industry through the tried-and-true method of finding a passion (hunting), getting good at it, and then writing about it... all while pushing past the constraints of modern day education.
We focus much of the discussion on Jason's series of "Never Trust a Fart" books and where he got the inspiration for these hilarious and true stories.
Cedar Run is excited to have Jason join the team as he will help tell our story through many different outlets.

Corey Lucas and Clayton Beaird sit down in the Cedar Run studio with Logan Webster, the founder and owner of Camoretro.
We talked about his journey that's led him to a passion for preserving iconic hunting clothing, and making it available for others. Logan also shares his waterfowling upbringing and the gratitude he has in how his parents developed his interest in travel and hunting. He also touches on his unique level of experience chicken farming in Arkansas.
It was great having Logan out to the shop and we are excited to follow the story and future of Camoretro!

Corey Lucas swung through Iowa and Illinois on his way back from waterfowling with buddies in North Dakota to spend time with the Stuedemann family at their duck camp on the Upper Mississippi River. Drake (third generation), Dave (second generation), and Don Stuedemann (first generation) join Corey around the table to unpack the history of their duck camp and what it means to them.
Don lays out the origin of the camp and what it has meant to him and his family. He describes it as the glue that help holds his family together at times. The passion and detail in which he tells his story shows the importance of this camp, and his wise words about what type of waterfowling community he envisions and appreciates should be heard by all of us.
This fascinating story is a "must listen" episode and the Stuedemann family is a model for how duck hunting should be.
God's timing is perfect... Don Stuedemann passed away 8 days after recording this podcast, allowing his story to be preserved for the family and their future generations.
