Phil robertsonCreated the Duck Commander duck call in 1972, and incorporated the Duck Commander Company in 1973. Phil has become a legend in Louisiana and in the duck-hunting world in general. He played college football at Louisiana Tech University, starting ahead of Hall-of-Famer Terry Bradshaw, and was drafted by the NFL after his junior year. He turned it down and quit football because it interfered with duck season, and he was not interested in having "large, violent… men chasing me trying to stomp me in the dirt". Phil is known for his dislike of modern technology (he proudly admits that he does not own a cellphone or a computer) and his concern that his grandchildren are becoming "yuppies".

Willie robertsonWillie Robertson has been in and around hunting all his life. Growing up with the family business, he has handled most tasks at Duck Commander from sanding and packaging calls as a youngster, to now serving as president of the company. Despite a busy travel schedule, Willie is a regular in the Robertson family blind where his comic relief helps when the season gets long and the birds are not flying.

Jase RobertsonGrowing up with his father as the Duck Commander, Jase Robertson soon realized that if he wanted to spend time with him, he’d have to meet him in the blind. But it soon became evident that Jase had the same passion for duck hunting as his dad. From the age of 8 years old, Jase spent as much time in the woods as he possibly could, even missing the maximum number of days from school each year that the law would allow.
