Josh Teff: FowlCo Outfitters
Today on The Storied Outdoors, we welcome FowlCo Outfitters—purveyors of world-class outdoor recreation and hospitality. Based in Oklahoma but known far beyond, FowlCo has redefined what it means to offer a premier waterfowl hunting experience.
Founder Josh Teff shares how FowlCo was born out of a passion for the outdoors, a commitment to building lasting relationships, and a reverence for the Creator’s handiwork.
These guys have over a century of combined guiding experience. The FowlCo team doesn’t just provide guided duck and goose hunts; they craft unforgettable moments filled with connection, storytelling, and southern hospitality. From breathtaking sunrise hunts to chef-prepared meals and evenings around the fire pit, FowlCo has created a place where guests aren’t just clients, they’re family.
What We Discuss in This Episode
Hunting as Connection, Not Just Bag Limits
FowlCo’s philosophy is that hunting goes far beyond limits. It’s about connecting with God, nature, and people. Josh shares moments when this deeper vision reshaped their mission:
“Here’s the path, all you have to do is walk down it.”
Building Relationships That Last
At FowlCo, guests return year after year—not just for the hunting, but for the friendships. Josh recalls:
“Relationships—we become genuine friends with our clients. Good food, stocked shelves, clean lodging, and good hunting matter, but the most important thing is people.”
The Lodge Experience & Southern Hospitality
From southern-inspired chef meals to the Speakeasy lounge and fire-lit evenings, the lodge itself is part of the FowlCo story. The team talks about how atmosphere shapes memory:
“Find those moments—and facilitate as many of them as possible.”
Pursuing Creation With Awe
Hunting isn’t just sport—it’s a way to marvel at God’s design. Josh describes the shift in mindset:
“I go from wanting to go, to I get to go.”
The team unpacks how pursuing wild game connects hunters to the Creator and to their own spirit.
Lessons From a Century in the Field
With more than 100 years of combined guiding experience, FowlCo has built a treasure chest of stories—from sinking a tractor to sprinting after a boat that ended in a face-first plunge into icy water. These moments aren’t just mishaps; they’re the glue of campfire storytelling that keeps the FowlCo culture alive.
