Community ~ Resource ~ Future
At Duck Junkies there is no off season. We are committed to the future of waterfowling and strive to provide a wealth of resources in every aspect of the sport from volunteering to hunter success. Supported by a nationwide team of volunteer staff and partners that share our passion, our free interactive community offers waterfowlers the opportunity to gain and share knowledge and experiences. Whether it's building nesting boxes, competition calling or the camaraderie of the blind that's got you obsessed, we invite you to join us and encourage you to invite someone new to take up the addiction. Men and women. Young and old. We are Duck Junkies. Are you?

You ever catch yourself sniffing empty shotgun shells? In the heat of battle most of my spent twelve gauges hit the bottom of the duck boat. Exceptions to the rule occur, and those are the three inch mags that I tuck in my pocket after poking at Canadian honkers. My hands shake so bad after honkers I always slowly unload the tubes and vibrate the empties into my bulging shell pockets.
It's the slow burn in a shot of whiskey that sets my mind to rewind. I raise the glass to the mutt. Then I play the same old, in my head movie, over and over. I smell the day. I feel the wind. I see the clouds. I think of the sound of roaring wings.
