Some hunters might know Phil, Willie, Jase, and the entire Robertson family their prior TV shows covering the exploits of Duck Commander while others may have been purchasing their calls and duck hunting gear for decades. However you have come to know them, they are without a doubt a mainstay when it comes to ducks and geese. They shared these words recently on the monumental milestone of being in business for 50 years:
West Monroe, LA (December 21st, 2022) – Duck Commander, a world renowned leader in duck call manufacturing celebrates its 50th Anniversary with the launch of two, limited edition, Pro Series duck calls and a commemorative video to help visualize the impressive history and individuals behind the iconic brand.
“I can’t express how thankful I am for everyone who has been involved with Duck Commander over the years and just how proud we all are to hit this milestone,” said Willie Robertson, Duck Commander CEO. “It’s amazing the things we’ve been able to accomplish, and we are excited to see what the future holds.”
Both the Duck Commander 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Phil Robertson and Jase Robertson Pro Series Duck Calls are made from cypress to symbolize the early days of Duck Commander and their Louisiana roots. Each model has been limited to a single run of 200 calls.
“This is a really exciting benchmark for Duck Commander and it’s pretty remarkable looking back over the years and seeing what this thing has become,” said Justin Martin, general manager for Duck Commander. “We’ve never lost sight of where we came from or how all of this started, and yet we rarely miss a day in the blind, so to call this a success story is an understatement.”
A lot has changed in 50 years when it comes to duck and goose hunting like going from Styrofoam and hardwood decoys to realistic, fully-flocked ones that we use today. Also, the flyways have evolved over the years changing where the most ducks puddle-up every year. Regardless, Duck Commander has been around the whole time supplying us – and entertaining us – for waterfowl season. As always, let us know all of your thoughts in the Comments below!
