Duck Commander[1] is both the name of a best-selling duck call and the name of the West Monroe, Louisiana based company which produces them and other duck hunting related merchandise[2] as well as deer hunting merchandise under the Buck Commander name.
The company was founded by Phil Robertson. A star quarterback at Louisiana Tech (playing ahead of future Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw), Robertson had offers to play in the NFL but turned them down since he didn't want to miss duck season, or face the stress of having people trying to tackle him.[3] He began his business in a dilapidated shed, where he spent 25 years making duck calls from Louisiana cedar trees.[4]
Robertson's third son, Willie Robertson, who is now the CEO of the company, expanded the family business into a multi-million dollar enterprise, and now is the subject of an A&E television show called Duck Dynasty.
Duck Commander was also used as the name of a television show featured on the Outdoor Channel.[5] Duck Commander was identified by R. David Bolls III ( Dept General Counsel and EVP Business Development) and commissioned by Lloyd Bryan Adams; the Channel's Executive Producer of Outdoor Channel in 2008. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/lloyd-bryan-adams-joins-outdoor-channel-58644687.html http://outdoorchannel.com/content.aspx?id=14535 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0Qk2bNOGT4
