At the heart of every successful guided hunt are the little details that set the experience apart. In this episode, Hunter talks about the pride that Whiskey Sloughs takes in sourcing all of their meat locally from Midwest Meat Company in Minden, Nebraska.  From Nebraska beef, pork, and chicken to homemade pizzas and BBQ – it's about more than just flavor. Supporting local means bringing authenticity to the table and adding that personal touch to your trip. It’s the small things that make a big difference. 💯 Listen to the recent episode of the GuideTech Podcast wherever you get your podcast or watch on the Mallard Bay YouTube Channel   #GuideTech #MallardBay #GuideTechPodcast #LocallySourced #SupportLocal #HuntingExperience #Authenticity #SetsYouApart #WhiskeySloughs

For most outfitters, rebooking can feel like an afterthought, but it doesn’t have to be that way. 🗣️ In Episode 22 of the GuideTech Podcast, Logan, Garrett, and Hunter talk about how many outfitters miss out on opportunities by not being more intentional with rebooking strategies. Hunter asks the important question: 'Are the owners actually checking in with clients about coming back next season?' Logan points out that most just hope clients return, without a clear strategy in place. But making time for these conversations earlier—before the last day—is key to building long-term relationships. Tune in to learn how being proactive can turn missed chances into solid rebookings! 🎧  Listen wherever you get your podcast or watch on the Mallard Bay YouTube Channel #GuideTech #MallardBay #GuideTechPodcast #RebookingStrategy #OutfitterLife #ClientRetention #ClientExperience #IntentionalBusiness #OutfitterBusiness #HuntingSeason #ContinuousImprovement #ExperienceTheOutdoors

"We have some planes" was the message broadcast over the FAA aircraft radio system and overheard by Boston Center air traffic control the morning of Sept. 11, 2001. American Airlines Flight 11 was intentionally crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. ET, while United Flight 175 was deliberately crashed into the South Tower at 9:03 a.m. American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon 34 minutes later, and United Flight 93 – carrying passengers who bravely fought back against their hijackers – crashed into a field outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m.  We remember. And we'll never forget. 3,000 people went to work that morning, just as we all have today, not knowing what horrific acts were about to occur. Tell your people you love them. Be nice to others. Leave this place better than you found it.

Every outfitter does things a little differently, but the goal is always the same: make the process as smooth as possible for the client.  In Episode 22 of the GuideTech Podcast, Hunter shares how his team at Whiskey Sloughs handles rebookings, giving clients the flexibility to lock in dates and pay deposits when they’re ready. Logan, Garrett, and Hunter discuss the importance of catering to client needs—whether it’s adjusting to changing seasons or making sure every group has the time they need to confirm their hunt. It’s all about creating the best experience and keeping clients coming back.

"We send a 12-13 question Google form to all our hunters after they've left the lodge – asking them about their experience, the guides, the hunt, and more. Every outfitter should do that"  In Episode 22 of the GuideTech Podcast, Logan, Garrett, and Hunter dive into why client feedback is a game changer for their outfitter business. From improving communication and meals to enhancing the overall hunting experience, they break down how they use this feedback to make every hunt better. 🎧 Tune in to Episode 22 now and learn more about their approach to creating unforgettable hunts!  Listen wherever you get your podcast or watch on the Mallard Bay YouTube Channel  #GuideTech #MallardBay #GuideTechPodcast #ClientFeedback #OutfitterLife #HuntingExperience #ContinuousImprovement #TealHunting #DoveHunting #NebraskaHunting #ExperienceTheOutdoors #GoHunting #StreamlineYourBusiness
