Ep 57 - Ruffling Feathers with Brook Richard

This week on The Maggie Williams Podcast, Maggie sits down with Brook Richard of Higdon Outdoors to ruffle a few feathers and talk all things Higdon! The two tackle topics like gear, innovation, opinions, and what’s new for duck hunters heading into another season. We’re getting into one of waterfowl hunting’s favorite debates: spinning wings—when they work, when they don’t, and what Higdon set out to change with the new Flasher PRO. With folding magnetic wings, multiple body positions, programmable timing and remote capability, it’s a new take on a piece of equipment duck hunters have been arguing about for years. Then we’re talking motion on the water and the Pulsator PRO Guide Pack—including how Higdon has continued developing one of its signature motion-decoy concepts with a built-in timer, increased water displacement, 14-hour runtime and the ability to run in shallow fresh, brackish or salt water. And of course, we’re talking decoys. Brook and Maggie dive into Higdon’s Legacy decoys and how Higdon continues to rethink the little details that matter to people who spend their winters staring at ducks. But it wouldn’t be a duck-hunting conversation without talking dogs. From dog vests and hunting with retrievers to new gear from MOmarsh, we get into the equipment that makes life easier for the dogs—and the hunters—putting it to work every season. Plus, we talk Higdon Outdoors TV, product development, hunting culture, and what happens when the people designing waterfowl gear are the same people actually hauling it into the marsh. Flasher PROs. Pulsator PROs. Legacy decoys. Duck dogs. Higdon Outdoors TV. And probably a few opinions that’ll ruffle some feathers. This one’s all about Higdon Outdoors—and gear made for duck hunters, by duck hunters.
