Episode #26: Waterfowling Tradition and Fine Furniture with Drake Stuedemann
09/09/23 • 89 min
Corey Lucas and Clayton Beaird hit the road to the idyllic town of Seneca, Illinois to talk with Drake Stuedemann about the finer things in life... waterfowling tradition and high-end craftsmanship.
We talk about how an interest and passion for woodworking and building things as a young child has led Drake down a path to becoming a custom luxury furniture builder. His story is fascinating in that his family's tradition for waterfowling intertwines all of his life experiences, like how coaching from his grandfather and trudging through muck to retrieve ducks may have led to him being a Division I college athlete.
Listen to how duck hunting tradition and etiquette has been passed down for generations through Drake's family cabin on the Mississippi River. A fascinating story rich with memories and keepsakes (check out the photos on Instagram @coreykajpodcast or @cedarrundecoys).

Episode #25: Ducks, Turkeys, and Supercars with Heath Hoogerhyde
Corey Lucas and Kaj Carlson sit down with Heath Hoogerhyde to talk about something seemingly unrelated to waterfowl...supercars. Listen as we connect the two topics as they make up a large part of "Hoogs" life outside of his family.
Hoogs Customs specializes in detailing some of the finest cars in the region and beyond. We discuss how the business grew and talk about some of the highlight cars his crew has worked on.
We cover his chase for the 41+ species of huntable waterfowl in North America, as well as his love for hand-carved decoys.
We finish it up with what always seems to sneak into our conversations... turkey hunting.
