What’s in the Duck Commander’s blind bag?
These are the often overlooked items that Phil Robertson has on him at all times when duck hunting:
•A can or two of sardines
•Earplugs
•Facepaint
•Screwdriver, pliers and spark-plug wrench
•Choke-tube wrench
•1-pound ball of black, tarred nylon line
•Folding saw
•Green-label BC powder
Duck calling contests, cell phones, computers, and suits
As only the Duck Commander could put it...
I’ve never owned a watch, or cell phone, and never turned on a computer or looked at one — ever, and I never owned a suit. Louisiana Tech gave us a suit, but I don’t know what happened to the thing.
Selling calls and winning contest...
They told me 35 years ago that, unless I won the world duck calling championship, I couldn’t sell any duck calls in America. They said you had to go long highball. I asked them — could a duck win it? They told me a duck couldn’t even place.
