I'm Derek Simon,

a good ole cajun boy from South Louisiana where hunting and fishing are ways of life and jobs are just necessary to buy hunting and fishing gear.  Duck hunting has always been a passion of mine. I always looked forward to brushing the blind with my uncle and cousins, getting ready for the season.  Now, I get to share my love of the outdoors with my two sons and my daughter (as long as the ducks don't move once I toss them in the boat).  Being in the Oil & Gas industry, I have worked in several states over the years. My mission is to explore duck hunting in each state I work.  Enjoying the duck hunting along with the different species and habitats that other states have to offer has immersed me in the duck life.  Unlike the cheap, easily broken, plastic calls I used when I first began hunting, I want to make calls that are both durable and beautiful; calls that can be depended on year after year to keep them cupped up!
