Episode #782: Josh Raggio

Jeff Stanfield & Andy Shaver are joined by Josh Raggio of Raggio Custom Calls and Raggio Mercantile in Mississippi. Josh has recently teamed up with Pappy Van Winkle Bourbon for a one of a kind collaboration where Josh has created 10 duck calls out of Pappy Van Winkle whiskey barrels. These duck calls will be auctioned and raffled at a Ducks Unlimited event and paired with other items that will make this a hot commodity among most waterfowl hunters and bourbon lovers. The guys discuss Josh’s entry into creating handmade duck calls and some of the good fortune he found early on in his journey. Josh shares some of the rich history behind hand turned duck calls. Then, they look at this collaboration with Pappy Van Winkle bourbon and how he creates one of a kind duck calls out of whiskey barrels.
