In this episode, host Matt Harrison sits down with Chance Wadsworth , a three‑time undisputed World Live Goose Calling Champion and founder of Quill Creek Calls , to talk about competition calling, practice mentality, design philosophy, and how elite calling translates to real‑world hunting success. Chance shares his journey from growing up in the outdoors to discovering contest calling, the mindset required to win at the highest level, and why greatness comes down to doing the fundamentals over and over — even when it’s not fun. In this episode, listeners will hear about: How Chance first got into waterfowl hunting and goose calling Discovering contest calling and chasing a competitive edge What separates world champions from everyone else Why “desire and repetition” matter more than talent How Chance approached practice early in his career Using focused, intentional practice to refine skills The mental process of stepping onto the world stage Why defending a title is harder than winning the first What judges listen for in elite live‑goose routines The importance of cadence, flow, and realism Common mistakes beginners make in goose calling Accepting failure and building a strong calling foundation Starting a call company and designing the Quill Creek Mark I Translating contest calling into real‑world traffic hunts Staying motivated after winning at the highest level Whether you’re a competitive caller, a die‑hard goose hunter, or simply someone who appreciates mastery of a craft, this episode offers insight into what it takes to truly separate yourself from the field.
