THIS WEEK'S GUEST: BROOK RICHARD This week, Maggie travels to see her friends at the Higdon Outdoors Headquarters in Paducah, Kentucky and welcomes Brook Richard to the show. As the Marketing Director at Higdon Outdoors, Brook plays a pivotal role in the world of waterfowl hunting. Brook Richard has made a name for himself as a highly-skilled competition duck caller, winning several prestigious titles, including being crowned Louisiana State Duck Calling Champion, as well as the World Team Live Duck Calling Champion. Today, Brook takes pride in judging calling contests and helping others in their duck-calling endeavors. Brook has judged World Speck, World Snow, World Duck, Sr. Worlds, Women's Worlds, Intermediate Worlds, Jr. Worlds, and countless state and regional duck calling contests. As a well-seasoned hunter himself, Brook is deeply involved with Ducks Unlimited Television, where he shares his passion for hunting and conservation. Whether he's traveling the country with the Higdon crew or working to innovate the latest waterfowl hunting gear, Brook’s contributions continue to shape the industry. Aside from his many esteemed accomplishments, those around Brook all agree that he is salt-of-the-earth and an even higher caliber of a human as he is a hunter.  If you ask Brook, he excitedly exclaims to all that his proudest accolades in life are being husband to Jennifer and dad to Hallie. In this episode, Brook talks about his journey with Higdon Outdoors and his most memorable moments in the field. As the episode continues, he dives into the importance of conserving habitats for future generations of hunters.
