Youth

There is no time like the present to get a youth involved in a life-long sport and mentor them to pass the tradition along. Duck Junkies is committed to the future of waterfowling and we are privileged enough to have dedicated youth waterfowlers on our staff who are excited to mentor their peers and promote the future of waterfowling.

Another 1st in the Duck Blind

Future Duck_Calling_Champion_of_the_World As some of you may remember I posted a story last year in reference to my neice Talayia. The story was that she was able to kill her 1st mallard during the MN youth last season. The cool thing about that was that it was only the 2nd mallard shot on that pond in 15 years, it is primarally a wood duck pond.

Well two years in a row I can report another first in the duck blind this ones hits a little closer to home as it involves my son Xavier.

Youth mentorship is an investment in the future of waterfowling and we have just the advice to get you started.

The Duck Junkies family has made a tremendous push to invest in the future of waterfowling through youth outreach and recruitment events, which should be noted as being a most worthwhile endeavor.
