Do you have an avid hunter in your life and don’t know what to get them for the Holidays? Finding the right gift can be frustrating sometimes, but think of how happy a person will be when they got something they have wanted. It could help keep them warm as they walk through muddy forests, a new set of decoys that won’t require as much time to set up, or just a good duck call.
If you were to get any of the products on list for the duck hunter in your life, then they will be thinking of you the next time they go out to shoot down waterfowls.
1. Duck Commander Jase Robertson Pro Series Duck Call
Most of the public knows them as the stars of the show Duck Dynasty. To their fellow duck hunters, though, they are the Robertson family of Duck Commander. Founded more than forty years ago by Phil Robertson, Duck Commander is famous for their easy to use duck calls. To this day, they continue to improve their product to get it to mimic duck calls as close as possible. That goal remains unchanged, and it has led to their best product yet- The Jase Robertson PRO Series Duck Call.
Duck Commander puts a lot of pride into its Jase PRO Series, calling it the culmination of years of practice. It builds on the riveted double reed design that Phil Robertson patented to mimic the call of a mallard hen. There are more than ten versions in the PRO series available. Each one contains a polycarbonate material that would prevent damage from severe weather. More than that, though, Duck Commander prides itself on the unique qualities the PRO series had. It is made with a high end for use on the open water, along with a soft low end to finish a duck call. More important, though, is that they say it is the easiest blowing call the company has ever made. The Robertson family even signs the insert card to ensure its use.
Three things make this an excellent gift for the duck hunter in your life: the variety in the series, the reputation of its makers, and the ease of use. There are ten duck calls in the Jase PRO series, made from a range of handcrafted wood and acrylic material. Some are easier to use than others are, with the Maple, and Tigerwood PRO’s touted as the easiest. All are easy to use, though, making it perfect for someone starting or a seasoned veteran. Most important, though, is the reassurance that comes with the Duck Commander brand. When you buy from Duck Commander, you will get your money’s worth.

I hunted in these waders on a blustery, below-freezing day in Minnesota this year and never felt a nip of cold. The first thing you’ll notice about these bad boys is the over-the-boot gaiter. This is a brilliant feature that prevents wear and tear when you’re plowing through brush.
