Last week, I was at an amazing Ducks Unlimited banquet in Knoxville and had the coolest opportunity to meet some really amazing people.  Not only did I meet Phil Fulmer, ex-head coach of the UT Vols, I meet a bunch of hunters who love the sport as much as I do.  I was really glad to meet couple of guys who own a hunting  ranch in Alberta Canada called Alberta Waterfowl Outfitters. I have become good friends with them and they are amazing people who live here in Tennessee. Their ranch has even had a camera crew come and film some of their hunts to be put on T.V. Their business is waterfowl hunting, and they do a great job at it.  They are working on a website and believe me, I’ll be letting you all know all about them once it is up and running.

If you have never attended a Ducks Unlimited banquet, I really urge you to.  Not only do you meet fellow hunters, they always have lots to do, pretty girls (called Duckettes) to see and opportunities to win tons of prizes.  At the Knoxville event, I racked up.  I got a shell bag, a fantastic mounted decoy, a set of 6 decoys and believe it or not, I was the grand prize winner of the nicest gun safe I’ve ever seen.  Yes, I was excited!

The next Duck’s Unlimited banquet is coming up in Morristown in a couple of weeks.  Join me!
