Kyle Broussard & Bubba Watkins, Gator Tail

Gator Tail Outboards has become a household name in the waterfowl world, but it all started with a college side project. Founder Kyle Broussard began tinkering with shallow-water motors and turned that curiosity into an iconic brand. Alongside Bubba Watkins, who now leads sales, the two share the story of how Gator Tail grew from a single motor into a complete line of boats.But this episode isn’t just about duck boats. Broussard and Watkins open up about the troubling decline of Louisiana’s waterfowl hunting and what’s driving it. From fading traditions to habitat challenges, they lay out both the hard truths and the opportunities to preserve one of the richest duck hunting heritages in North America.>>>Thanks to our sponsors: Tom Beckbe, Lile Real Estate, Perfect Limit Outdoors, Purina Pro Plan, Sitka Gear, Greenhead: The Arkansas Duck Hunting Magazine, Diamond M Land Development, and Ducks Unlimited.Send us Fan MailAll Rights Reserved.
