E355 - The Inside Scoop on One of The Most Influential Hunting Brands Worldwide - The Banded Hour

Fred Zink is BACK! And he’s bringing perspective that only time, toughness, and miles in the marsh can.
Fresh off his healing journey, Fred talks honestly about getting healthy again, slowing down just enough to appreciate the hunt, and the reality of chasing birds in a changing world. From freelancing in Saskatchewan to the pressure from outfitters, to the rise of tech in the field,  nothing’s off-limits.
He and Chad dig deep into mentorship, patience, woodsmanship, and building the next generation of hunters the right way, with sweat, humility, and respect for the game.
Another conversation rooted in grit, gratitude, and that fire that never leaves a true hunter.
This episode is brought to you by Benelli Shotguns, Banded Brands, Federal Premium Ammunition, Avery Outdoors, and GHG Decoys.
