Don F

My name is Don, I was born in November of 1971. I am obsessed with waterfowl. My earliest memory of ducks in the wild came when I was a young kid turkey hunting with my father along Black River in Missouri. As I closed my eyes just now, I can vividly see the beautiful colors of those wood ducks swimming in the slough we just eased the boat into that morning. My obsession was born. I witnessed my father harvesting a beautiful Missouri gobbler that morning, but couldn’t resist the opportunity to tell everyone about those wood ducks. So it began, my lifelong journey chasing waterfowl. At the age of fifteen I began my career as a waterfowler in the flooded timber in Arkansas and never looked back. I worked for local guide services for the opportunity to be “there”. This is where my education in the industry started. By my early twenties I was operating my own guide service.
