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

(Ignoring all the trolling posts)

Idk how much of an influx in duck hunters you can directly attribute to the show. But I will says since it became popular I have had a lot more of my non-hunting friends ask me to take them duck hunting. The amount of shitty callers on public land has also increased exponentially.

As far as DC goes, I've been watching their hunting videos and buying there stuff for years. They've always painted their faces; that's just their technique. Does it make a difference? Maybe, but I've never done it and I don't think it does. As far as their calls go, they used to make a pretty decent call for the money, especially some of their non-mallard calls. But now they're mass producing everything and doing market gimmick calls. Some of them it seems like they just take the same shitty call and paint it camo or pink to sell it. Can't say I blame them. If I had the opportunity to make that kind of money off of idiots I'd jump at it.
