Thread: Duck Dynasty

Duck Dynasty - 7pm Saturday on TV2



It’s the biggest show on the US Cable Channel – EVER! And for us there’s a very personal connection. One of the most unlikely rags to riches stories imaginable is coming to NZ (TV2) this Saturday and it features the Robertson family, our very good friends and the makers of Duck Commander duck calls. For 25 years at Hunting & Fishing New Zealand we have held up Duck Commander as the most ‘ducky’ and easy to blow duck call out there.

In that time we time we got to know and connect with the Robertson’s with some of our team even visiting and staying with them at their home in Louisiana where the TV show is now centred. Some of you may have even met Phil Robertson when we invited he and wife Kay to New Zealand on a seminar tour and where Phil also filmed one of his popular hunting DVD’s, ‘Duckmen of New Zealand’.

In reality Duck Dynasty has very little to do with duck hunting. In fact beavers, squirrels and bullfrogs come in for more attention. The show’s popularity can be put down to the antics of the very colourful characters and the underlying strong family values. It’s a 30 minute hoot that leaves you with a feel-good factor at the end. The redneck take on life is refreshingly un-PC, so be warned if you’re a ‘yuppie’! Interest in the show has gone viral, the Duck Dynasty Facebook page has over 5 million likes and almost 12 million people have viewed some episodes. But don’t take our word for it, check out what all the fuss is about for yourself.
