Stanfield, Oregon

I’m an avid outdoorsman from Eastern Oregon. I grew up hunting ducks, geese and turkey. I spend the majority of my time on the Columbia river, if it’s not waterfowl it’s chasing bass in my kayak. I also enjoy upland hunting and I'm really looking forward to getting back into elk and deer hunting with my bow. To me it’s not about that harvest or catch, it’s about the countless hours spent in the blind or on the river with friends and family. I truly enjoy sharing my passion and knowledge with our youth hunters and huntress', and learning from seasoned outdoorsmen. Over my 20 years of being in the outdoors sharing memories and experiences with great friends and family,  I quickly realized at a young age that waterfowl hunting was my true passion and obsession. I live and breathe waterfowl hunting!

Pilot Rock, Oregon

Aluminum Welder 

I’m 23 years old and have been duck hunting ever since I could hold a shotgun. I hunt a lot of public lands such as wildlife refuges, public walk in areas as well as private lands. When not actually hunting ducks, I spend my time on the taxidermy side of things. I mounted my first duck when I was ten and have probably mounted 100 plus ducks and geese since then. Waterfowl season is what I live for!

I am an obsessed waterfowl hunter and bass fisherman from Oregon, Ohio. My career is an electrical and mechanical engineer for industrial steam generation. I grew up in the woods, and have evolved into an avid outdoorsman. Waterfowl is my passion, I love watching big honkers fall from the sky and clouds of Bufflehead blazing across Lake Erie. Layout hunting is my favorite kind of hunting, but I hunt rivers, lakeside, fields and public marshes as well. I create content on YouTube and Instagram as Ellithorpe Adventures, which includes various kinds of hunting and fishing outings.

Kennewick, Washington

I was born and raised in the Columbia Basin and have been hunting the Columbia River, backwaters, ponds, and slews since I was 10 years old. I was brought into this game by my father and he has always taught me to to respectful to every part of the outdoors wether its the people hunting along side me or the game we pursue. I had an accident a couple years back that almost cost my life while duck hunting and I now have an all new appreciation for every moment I am out chasing birds, deer, or fish. I do my best every chance I can to either bring new people into an outdoor sport or teach my 4 children how important it is to be the best hunter or huntress you can be, and to respect all animals that we are going after. And to always remember its not always about limiting out or filling a tag its the memories you make while with friends and family. I was taught a long time ago "It's called hunting not killing. If it were killing it would be too easy." Be repectful and good luck out there.

Monroe, North Carolina

I am 20 years old, I attend Mars Hill University to study Criminal Justice while playing baseball. I love hunting, shooting, and fishing. I have been around hunting since I was four to five years old. Career- Farming and United States Army I most of the time stick my hunts to local locations as in my family farm, I have traveled to Eastern North Carolina (Lake Mattamuskeet) to waterfowl hunts and having one of the most successful hunts. I hope you all have a blessed day and hunts. Good luck this season!

Pendleton, OR

I am 22 years old. I grew up running around the back country of eastern oregon and have held a gun in my hand since I could walk. I'm the only one of my family to pick up waterfowl hunting thanks to some friends of mine and now I'm hooked for life. I like to start my early season by hitting the marshes and then as it freezes I venture out to big water on the Columbia river. When I'm not waterfowl hunting you'll catch me spring turkey hunting, participating in summer bowfishing tournaments and fall archery hunting. To me it's not all about the kill. Its about the memories shared and teaching the next generation how to not only respect wildlife but to have fun, be respectful and courteous to others in the field.
