Makes their word really good. I've seen them say they use different calls also. 737 is a minor sponsor I think as they don't pimp them like other items. Listen or watch anything he puts out....cannot find anything negative about it. I think this is about jealousy/haters.

saying who can kill more ducks is kind of a pissing contest.... lets be real shooting ducks is not overly difficult if you have the time and resources to scout. ya there are days they dont work or don't fly. but if you scout and are on the X then you'll kill ducks.

I like Dr duck as a whole. He is a hardcore hunter. He puts the time in scouting to be successful. Now I don't like the fact that he sure looks to be controlled by money with sponsors. Then as others said, putting his name on Chinese stuff. You can't necessarily complain about it because that's being a capitalist, but it's annoying.
He is absolutely not a Phil Robertson lite though, but I believe he is still good for the duck hunting world.

Nobody doggin his career moves “being controlled by money” would ever pass on the chance to be sponsored and a representative of Realtree. They are the Mecca

What kind of money do yall think he really makes just off hunting? Is it real money or just perks like free gear?
From my understanding he runs a hvac business and should live pretty comfortably off that.

At some point Realtree came to them and offered to pay em so they switched. Both Dr. Duck and his partner & friend the fowl hunter are damn good guys. Takes a sorry human being to falsely accuse someone of baiting. You start pointing fingers at people you need to be right. Sucks that guys that do a good job of promoting the sport we love in a manner most of us have to do in also have a target on their back.. I don’t know why folks get upset over others good fortune.

Dr duck was a sitka guy for a while, so that's why I figure he gets paid for it. It'd take a lot for a person to downgrade gear.

Dr duck was a sitka guy for a while, so that's why I figure he gets paid for it. It'd take a lot for a person to downgrade gear. Thats what I'm trying to figure out. How much money does it take to be owned by a hunting brand? I dont see him making 6 figures, id be suprised if it was over $50k. Just a guesstimate bc I have no idea but I would say its in the $15-$25k (cash) a year range. He may make more if you count free gear,, hunts and other non cash perk. He owns and runs a hvac company that should do pretty well so I don't see him wanting to owned for a few thousand dollars a month. Unless he is more interested in the fame portion of the business and likes being a social media influencer.

I guess just because a company pays you to use their products doesn’t make me think of said person being owned. It’s not like Realtree makes really crappy camo. I have lots of both, Realtree & Mossy Oak. Like em both just fine, but if one of em was willing to pay me, outstanding. Not to mention Realtree promotes his brand as well, which increases his income indirectly on top of what they pay him. Nothing wrong with making money. And most of my previous comment was geared toward how sorry it is to accuse a person of doing something illegal without having some substantial proof. Especially if done out jealousy.

Yep, this thread has taken a turn from the op of him being cleared of allegations of him hunting over baited holes. Honestly could care less bc as far as I'm concerned there is no difference between throwing out a 50lb bag of corn and growing a "crop" of corn with the sole intention of flooding it and hunting it.
And maybe owned was to strong of a word. But just curious what kind of money these guys really make. I somewhat follow some of these other social media influencers like Bobby guy, lol. No offense to him but his house is a dump. He looks to have built a nice lodge to run hunts out of and I assume he will live in it in the offseason. I dont know,... I dont follow him enough to know all the ends and outs. He could have gone in with multiple partners to build that lodge and start his outfitting.
Some of the other guys are trust fund babies that live so far from reality that it is hard for me to follow them much.
Dr. Duck seems like a real genuine guy, kinda late to the game so to speak when it come to social media. Just curious what made him want to go down that path.

I suspect they make enough to cover most of the cost of their hunting trips and equipment but not much more. You get 100k subs and you start making $ depending on your production costs. If you live cheap like the hunting public guys you can make a living at it but you better love.
No matter how high a duck flies a hammer still breaks a window.

I have no idea what made him wanna go down the social media path but suspect it was his partner, Billy. He is or was some sort of digital marketer. Whatever they got going looks like it’s going well for them.

I think the house your referring to is his older house. It was sorta dumpy but his new home is on the same land he bought that had the 2 metal buildings, one which he turned into his lodge and the other his equipment building. New house is not dumpy at all....not a castle either but nice. Its just north of Hutchinson Kansas.
