This week, Matt and Teddy are joined by fellow Marylander Matt Opsahl of Maverick Outfitters. Matt is the owner and operator of Maverick Outfitters based on MD's Eastern Shore guiding puddle duck and Canada goose hunts. We covered a lot of great topics in this one from what it's like guiding in Maryland, how to treat clients with respect and hospitality, and even what Matt's experience was like judging a calling contest for the first time in Easton last year. This was an awesome conversation and an episode you definitely want to hear!
