Actually some of their calls are pretty good. Maybe not RNT quality, but when it comes down to getting green into the woods, I actually prefer a DC call sometimes. However, you are right about spotting a bandwagoner or as we call them, Barney. They are all face painted up with 8 DC calls around their neck.

I think most of the so called "cult" followers just enjoy seeing regular people with good moral values on TV. It's better than most of the other garbage that is out there even if it is "scripted". The show offers a pretty decent look into how they act in real life and if people did take cues from them, we wouldn't have near the issues our society has today.

I agree. There just arent many public examples of a solid family life with good values on TV.

I think that's a lot of the big draw for people. They're subconsciously thirsting for a taste of that wholesome familial aspect. Just my HO

And whoever said their duck calls are crap...they make the best wood duck call on the market IMO. And I like their gadwall whistle but I think Haydel is a better quality call

Eh, some of us were doing both of these things in 1993 when all we knew about DC was Phil and the boys blasting birds on VHS.

Let me guess you are a RNT world champion stutgart hunting greenhead killing machine?

ha, of course a $150 RNT sounds better than a $40 DC, but for the money the calls aren't that bad.

If you'r in your 20-30's and you didn't have a 6 in 1 DC whistle on your lanyard as the first call your dad gave you, then I don't trust you as a person.

LOL, I love how when I say that Duck Commander calls aren't very good, the inevitable response is always "durr I bet you spend $150 on an RNT call!" Get real. I actually hunt with three calls -- an old P.S. Olt, an acrylic Primos, and a wooden call made 30 years ago by a guy in Texarkana that still sounds great and is excellent for feed calls.

Nothing better than walking into a gas station after a hunt and seeing a guy walk out looking like Sting fresh off a WCW title match with a (new) lanyard full of calls with not a band to be seen.

Nothing better than going most anywhere in Funroe and everybody still sporting facepaint in public.
