Just finished watching the show on tv. What a stupid show. Defenetely lost respect for them boyz, and regretting having bought tapes from them 10 years ago. What a stupid pathetic show. Of course they are killin ducks, they are sittin on a waterfowl managed, flooded 1600 acres private land, in the middle of the best mississipi flyzone you can find. These guys are just in for the money. And this show is the least reality you can find, all fixed and the show has 4 writers and 2 producers.....pathetic.... Plus their sense of humor are way below par. Willie Robertson is an American entrepreneur, reality TV star and CEO who has a net worth of $20 million. Willie Robertson’s family founded the company “Duck Commander” which is a multi-million dollar business specializing in the manufacture of a variety of popular hunting related products such as duck decoys, duck calls, cooking DVDs and apparel. Willie and his family were recently was tapped to star in their very own A&E reality show “Duck Dynasty” which airs Wednesday nights at 10pm. Willie runs Duck Commander alongside his dad Phil, brother Jase, mother Miss Kay, uncle Si and wife Korie.

Started by living poor
Lived off the land most of his life.
Turned himself over to the Lord
Invented a duck call from scratch.
Anybody that puts God first and hunts ducks is a good man in my book.
on a side note, Ive met him quite a few times...once got to work with him and sit down to personally talk for about an hour...a great man to talk to, seems to have a great heart, and once again puts God first. Nothin to hate about in my opinion.

The post is titled "Phil Robertson"
Greedy and phil don't go together...in my opinion.
Now as for Willie..that could be a different story.

I'm not sure what is greedy about a man that has risen from the ashes of poverty and turned his way of life and passions into a lucrative business.
I admire the man and wish I could be as successful making money doing something I love as Phil has been. I call that living the dream and hardly greedy.
The show is corney but entertaining.

Sour grapes...good folks doing what they do best. They have done what any hunter wishes they could do, good at their style of hunting, worked hard at it and God Bless em, making a fine living at it. Just wish my last name was Robertson and hunting with em. They are living the dream we all wish we could just be along for the ride...and in a way we are by watching them hunt. May as well put all hunting/fishing tv celebrities on your list. Best advice, dont watch em if they irritate ya.

Im not hating, just dont like greedy people. This really rubs me the wrong way...you are pretty much saying anyone that works hard/smart and is successful is now greedy. This kind of thinking is what's wrong with America now. I think the show is hilarious. My favorite on the show is Si's cup.
Dear Lord please bullwhip me for saying this but I agree, Marcstar is in the lead. Please nobody use this as a quote!!!

Don't quote me on this but I thought I read somewhere that Phil was tired of doing all the tv shows cause of all the camera stuff going on. Pretty sure it's Willie pushin that whole deal
I'm with GK because I like salty old dudes.

Really.............
It is Just a TV Show, It is not like when I was a Kid and you only had 5 Channels, if you held the Rabbit Ears just right. You could only watch the Rockford Files so much.
If you dont like whats on, Flip over to the Sportsman Channel or Outdoor Network, Cooking Channel, MMA Fighting, Something. You have hundreds to choose from

Don't worry, the government will soon be by to take his fair share and give it to people who don't do squat to improve their own lives. He must have surely done someone wrong to get all that money, no way it was from hard work and intelligents
There is time, and you must take it, to lay your hand on your dog's head as you walk past him lying on the floor or on his settle, time to talk with him, to remember with him, time to please him, time you can't buy back once he's gone" GBE

I don't see a thing wrong with a man that has gone out into the world and made a living. Seems to be a hard working man that takes the time to raise a family the right way. I don't see them as greedy at all. I admire them all and cheer them on. Is the show a little cheesy, probably! If you open a blind eye there really is a good message and it seems to always focus on family. Nothing wrong in my eyes.

I think the show is funny as heck, even if it is a little dumb. Phil is a selfmade man, good for him. Whats wrong with them hunting managed private lands? Ever go on a guided hunt Beaversnipe?

Sounds like we have a jealousy issue. Yep jealousy can do evil things to a man. Are you saying you wouldnt hunt that land because it's highly managed, private, and in an amazing location? If your answer is yes you are lying to yourself. As far as the show being a little corny, it is, but it has to be appealing to everyone including the non hunting community to get ratings.

There are a couple of things about the show I don't like. First, there ain't enough duck killin' goin' on, but that isn't the intent of this show for sure. Second, Willie is the center of it all NOT Phil. Kinda minimizes Phil's success to me.
(In my best Si impression): But hey... hey, what do I know. Hey, its still a funny show and hey... I watch it.

I agree...a show based upon religion beliefs and family values belongs no where on TV I wish they killed more ducks but I think/hope they will get to that...killing ducks is a lot of hard work (when you don't pay a guide to kill them) and I hope they are just showing us that even though season isn't open they still work on a lot of the prep stuff.

beaver you just made the weekly THF forum edition of c'mon man...
we understand you don't like the duckmen or their show. Really your post is narrow minded, mostly incorrect imo, and overly critical. Usually when someone goes through the effort to publicly criticize, they wind up making themselves look worse than the person or people they are criticizing.
I'll say this forum is a great place for us to learn form one another, share ideas, and debate the issues of our day.
Thank you for your opinions even though I disagree with them. Maybe you will come around to our way of thinking one day.
Perhaps all those years of putting God first in their lives has paid off for them with God's blessings. I don't know. But they are a rarity in our age those who when given a public platform promote God's message of salvation.
btw, I have not seen the show and don't know if they mention their faith on it or not, but I have seen many of the dvd's in which they do. I'm also aware of the many speaking engagments many of the duckmen appear at each year in which they do promote their faith in God.

This kind of thinking is what's wrong with America now. I think the show is hilarious. My favorite on the show is Si's cup. Capitalism vs European socilism. Some people forget that their vision of greed is why we have efficiency and technological advancements and they would rather stone a man for trying to provide a legacy for their descendants then to devise and act on a plan that would do the same for their own descendants
