What happens when a Missouri banker trades a nine-to-five for a life chasing Canada geese? In this episode, Chase Tripp sits down to share how he went from commercial banking to working full-time at a small-town gun shop—all to get closer to the outdoors he loves.
Born and raised near St. Louis, Chase talks about growing up in a non-hunting family, the unlikely way he fell in love with waterfowl, and the hard lessons (and hilarious mishaps) that came with learning it all from scratch. From setting massive decoy spreads to watching geese flip upside down as they dive into the spread, his passion for big honkers is contagious.
He also opens up about chasing his dream of guiding hunts, the grind of breaking into the outdoor industry, and why he’s more at home in a duck blind than anywhere else. With plenty of laughs, near misses, and reflections on what hunting has taught him about family and legacy, this episode is as real as it gets.
Don’t miss this one—it’s a reminder that the hunting life isn’t just about trophies. It’s about the people, the moments, and the miles in between.
