From Iowa to Alaska: Building a Fishing & Duck‑Hunting Paradise
Episode 33 features Josh Badder of Wild Strawberry Lodge in Sitka, Alaska. Josh recounts leaving Iowa to run the lodge, expanding into guided waterfowl hunts from the Alaskan Legacy boat, and the mix of unique sea ducks and fishing opportunities they offer. The conversation covers hunting seasons, target species like Harlequins and Barrow's Goldeneye, challenges of diver hunting, the lodge’s multi‑species fishing program, and what to expect booking a trip to this remote, family‑run operation.
