Summary
The DU Podcast kicks off Goose Camp with an all‑star group of partners, storytellers, and friends from the waterfowl world.
Host Matt Harrison is joined by Jimbo Robinson, Brooke Richard (Higdon Outdoors), and Seth Dortch (Rough Country) to talk camp culture, late‑season realities, and how DU partnerships turn into better fundraising, better gear, and better conservation.
This episode is part storytelling, part behind‑the‑scenes look at how ideas are born around a muddy Arkansas blind: raffle innovations, DU‑exclusive items, UTV/truck outfitting for waterfowlers, and why Goose Camp is where the best conversations happen.
You’ll hear:
- Why snow geese are humbling (and addictive) — and why you still go tomorrow
- How Higdon & DU collaborate on raffles, gear, and event‑friendly packages
- Rough Country’s crossover into the waterfowl community (UTV/truck builds DU members actually use)
- The power of DU events: customization, fundraising concepts, and partner synergy
- Camp culture, youth‑weekend anticipation, and the laughs you only get at Goose Camp
