Before we get started I will admit that this is solely my opinion. Depending on what part of the country you live in, I may have this list backwards.  10.  Scaup   At the bottom of my list lies the fast flying Scaup, AKA “Blackjack,” AKA “Dos Gris.”  These birds have saved a many slow day due to [...]

During the split here in Louisiana we always head somewhere. This time it was Arkansas. We usually go there to hunt with W.E. "Redawg" Phillips. He moved there 14 years ago when his wife took a great job opportunity. Better still, it was close to where some guys lived that we met at the DU [...]

Well folks teal season started off with a bang this year. We got a cold front early in September that brought a pretty good wave of teal to Northeast Louisiana. The first few days were as good of hunting as you can ask for. There is nothing like getting back in a duck blind for [...]

Fame and fortune didn't come to the Robertson's naturally. In 1972, Phil began his passion of building duck calls. Despite the positive reviews, the business had a slow start.
