Wade Kisner
Setter Tales Podcast is an interview format show with friends trading stories and experiences about their outdoor adventures and beloved gundogs. Subjects are fun, entertaining, and often educational. Host Wade Kisner speaks with guests of various backgrounds: Hunter, Breeder, Veterinarian, other experts, or just regular folk who have a passion for the outdoors.
As a youth growing up in Mound City, Missouri, Pete Clegett took advantage of the abundance of water fowl hunting opportunities and became a regular in many of the goose pits. An early fascination with duck and goose calling led Pete to learn from veteran callers and develop a style of his own. His ability at deceiving ducks became legendary and sent him into calling competition. At the age of 17 Pete won the Missouri State Calling Championship. Pete continued to compete in contests and won numerous awards.
Pete’s love of the outdoors also included being a professional guide and hunting camp owner in Canada for 15 years.

Steve Miller, 83 years old, grew up in Boone, Iowa and was first exposed to upland bird hunting in the early 1950’s tagging along with his best friend, Larry and Larry’s Dad. Pheasants were plentiful and getting a limit of birds was easily accomplished even without a dog. Like many youth beginning hunters, Steve purchased a .410 single shot shotgun which he used to bag his first rooster along the railroad tracks behind his family home.

Joe Bazzano’s Grandfather’s need to find a better bedding material for
his beloved gundogs resulted in a ribbon shaped cedar shaving that
continues to be produced much like it was three generations ago. The
bedding by its design holds volume, wicks moisture, resists insects,

discusses how he continues the family business founded by his
grandfather and his passion for woodcock and grouse hunting in New
England.
