Summary

Tonight, we had the pleasure of hanging out with our good buddy, Jeff Coats, from Pitboss Waterfowl. Jeff probably doesn't need an introduction because this is his hat trick episode on the podcast, he is a legend on social media, tv and anytime someone says the words "seaduck hunting." All that said, did you know Jeff is an absolute dog man with lots of experience training and running dogs in hunt tests? Well, Jeff took a little time off but he is back in the game... this time alongside his awesome wife, Karen. One of the reasons we enjoy spending time with Jeff is because he is such a great storyteller and tonight, we hear some goodies. He and Bob chat about how Jeff got into hunt tests in 2001 and we hear about some of his dogs from way back. Then we dig into his new dogs, Rye and Mac, and how they're doing as Jeff and Karen get back into competition. Finally, we hear a few tips and tricks about passing (and failing) Junior dogs at various hunt tests. Next, we hear about Jeff's passions and how he keep waterfowling on his mind 365 days a year: ducks, dogs & carving decoys. Jeff generously gives us an intro to carving duck decoys and talks about the types of wood, where to get it, what to do with it, which materials he would suggest you buy, you name it and we cover it. Truthfully, we were taking notes and you probably should, too. Overall, it's a pleasure chatting with Jeff and Karen as they are fantastic people who truly love and support ducks, dogs, decoys and the sport we all appreciate. Jeff and Karen: cheers to you.
