Us too. Most of these guys were probably in diapers around that time



'94 I was four years out of college, and hunted since I was 12... I had Haydel's and Faulk's calls before DC was ever heard of...I still use my Faulk's WD-30 when hunting woodies...

I'm not saying people didn't paint faces before DD, it was mostly done for turkey hunting in ground blinds..

I really dont care about how other people camo themselves, but i have to admit it looks pretty stupid when guys do face paint patterns that resemble some kind of tribal king.

This. I will use a burned cork on my face when hunting Woodrow from the edge of a pond, but don't smear it on like war paint.

Man as a kid, as far as I was concerned, if you didn't have a DR85, you weren't a duck hunter.

and the people looked down on you for not using a cane call, does that make you less of a duck hunter?

shite, no one, and I mean no one despises the DC folks more than me. But I have my own reasons for that...the show and the merchandising only reinforced my choice to dislike.

More people hunting is good. there is not one person here that hasn't peeked at a working group or had a pair come out of nowhere and look up right at em and say 'shite'. If someone wants a mask, the newest camo, the camoed gun, the face paint, who cares. They will get better, they will get smarter, they will be duck hunters.

20 years from now they will be bitching about the new guys.

Yeah I learned on a Haydel's DR-85 and a wooden Faulk's when I was 12, I was terrible then not much better now, but I'd rather be the whistle guy anyway.

I have 3 DC calls on my lanyard or in my blind bag, teal, woodie, and a whistle. I don't hate the Robertson's, and I don't blame them for profiting off their likeness. I just don't like what the media and merchants did to the brand, you couldn't go in a gas station without seeing Uncle Si, but I'm not someone who is dedicated enough to go hunt the weekend on public land so what do I know.

DC is quite a bit older than Haydel's, so maybe you just hadn't heard of them.

Faulk's CA22 and WA22!!

Olt's predator call(black w green barrel) cut in half with a mallard reed shaved down! Best sounding speck call ever, IMO!!
