What are you thoughts on Duck Dynasty's effect on duck hunting?

Do you feel like the rush of new people introduced to duck hunting is a positive or negative?

Anytime there can be more young people in the woods and off the streets is a plus in my book. I quit duck hunting 10 or so years ago after not missing a day for five years straight. I haven't experienced the new wave of duckmen, but think that society as a whole is better off for the influx.

I dontthink duck dynasty is driving this
Its a fun sport and very rewarding. Itll die down when people scratch more and more

Agree. The new weekend duck hunters will die out once they make a few trips shooting 1 or 2 ducks a trip

Mud motors probably have the biggest effect. Makes it easier to access back waters and areas holding ducks than it use to be.

I started duck hunting around 2007. I don't think crazy amounts of face paint were as prevalent then. But maybe I just didn't know any better.
I believe the most impact is on kids, under 15 years old. I see a lot of kids getting the newest dc duck calls for Christmas and making horrible noises with them.

Around here, I think it has the most to do with age.
Every year, a new flock of topwaters turn 16, get that silveraydo with lightbar and starts hitting the ponds.

A couple years of 3 and 30 would have a lot of the top waters back to chasing deer.

3 and 30 would suck. Then again, my shitty hunts would start looking a hell of a lot better

I think its no coincidence that after the show became the biggest show in A&E history that the public land go more crowded and the price for blinds went up. The same thing happened with everyone wanting to go gator hunting after Swamp People.
I don't have a problem with people getting involved in the sport but I do kinda wish the majority would go about it differently, tag along with someone they know who has some experience, learn how and when to call, when to shoot, stuff like that.
The bandwagon hunters who don't stick it out will be trading in their Mossberg's for Barnett's come next year thanks to Country Bucks.

I always laugh at the face painters.... 
Duck hunted for 35 years, only paint I ever used was painting my pirogue Valspar dull dead grass green....

The kids that picked up duck hunting were never "on the street," but i see your point.

To put it in my dad's words, "thank God they did that with duck hunting and not turkey." We already have to many dumbass wannabe turkey hunters here in central Alabama.

I agree with you in theory, but in practice I don't think it works like that.
A shithead who gets into duck hunting at 18 will still be a shithead who happens to duck hunt.

The groups of people I see hunting because of this show are college aged or just out. In my home town there are now 2 or 3 duck hunting "clubs" that all think they reinvented the wheel. When I was growing up there were just a handful of people in my middle school and highschool that were actual duck hunters. We know who each other are. None are in any "clubs". And we laugh real hard directly at them.
ETA: and at their face paint. And calling techniques.

I think this has a lot to do with it. The increase in High paying jobs and the easy of buying a "go anywhere" boat had turned lots of just fishermen into hunters

Worst part about duck dynasty is the damn face painting. That shite drives me nuts. I've been fortunate to hunt a few years and I've normally not ever needed camo much less painted faces. I have a good friend that thinks it's cool as hell to paint his face to duck hunt, drives me up a wall.
I hope it brings a few people to duck hunt it's a great sport and a lot of fun, hunters are strength in numbers against the anti's, so we need more hunters.

meh.....watching DD has ZERO effect on duck hunting!

It surely led to duck commander building some terrible calls. That little camo one that my fiances cousin got for Christmas sounds like terrible.
