Corey Lucas and Kaj Carlson are joined by Mike Clements and Wally Schalau to talk dog training and the Super Retriever Series. These guys are working hard to provide an awesome experience for trainers and their dogs to test their retrieving skills at Brandon Cerecke's (BOSS Shotshells) "duck farm" in White Pigeon, Michigan.
Mike guides us through the background, agenda, and culture of the Super Retriever Series. He also introduces us to the Cerecke (BOSS Shotshells) duck farm, where Mike manages the wildlife habitat and seems to be born to build a duck wonderland there.
We then settle into a lengthy discussion with one of the hardest working dog trainers in the business, Wally Schalau from Southern Oak Kennels - North. We get a ton of our questions answered and Wally provides us some clarity on some main training topics such as; force fetching, e-collars, etc.
We could have sat there all day asking those guys dog training questions...but we kept it under two hours for y'all!
Come check out the Super Retriever Series event July 14 -16, 2023.

Corey Lucas and Kaj Carlson sit down in the Cedar Run Decoy Company studio with Mike and Ava Larson, a father and daughter that have grown a strong bond through their hunting pursuits and Ava's passion for competitive trap shooting.

Hear about Mike's career in serving through the United Way and the Southwest Michigan Land Conservancy and how he was able to focus on his true legacy that exists with his relationships within his family.

The conversation transitions to how Ava was introduced to trapshooting and what that interest has grown into. We discuss the details of the competitive trap shooting scene and how it's becoming one of the fastest growing youth sports in the country.

Mike wraps up our conversation by describing how the Southwest Michigan Land Conservancy is playing a vital role in protecting and enhancing private land here in Michigan through conservation easements, habitat improvements, and outdoor education.

Corey Lucas, Kaj Carlson and producer Clayton Beaird sit down in the Cedar Run Decoy Company studio with lawyer Chris Tracy, partner at the law firm of Warner Norcross & Judd.

The guys discuss Chris' idyllic childhood in northern Michigan and how that upbringing not only shaped his work ethic but his passion and interest in the outdoors.

Chris lays out his path to becoming a lawyer at one of the top firms here in Michigan, juggling family and work life, and how the life skills that he built over the years are reflected in how he communicates with others.

They also do a deep dive on how wildlife management policies are formed and carried out here in Michigan, with Chris having intimate knowledge of the inner-workings through his involvement as a commissioner on the State of Michigan Natural Resources Commission.

A truly genuine conversation that offers a wealth of common sense, knowledge of government and law, and some good old-fashion hunting stories!
