ACCOKEEK, MARYLAND-This summer, Benelli takes you behind the scenes of the Duck Commander Company and invites you to meet the Robertsons, the first family of duck hunting. For 30 years, Phil Robertson's life has been dedicated to the relentless pursuit of ducks. He pioneered the modern duck call, broke new ground in hunting videos and redefined the hardcore duck hunter.
Hidden away in the Louisiana backwater, the Duckmen have remained illusive and mysterious for three decades. Now, for the first time on national television, see the men behind the legend. Benelli brings you into the blind, into their homes, and on the road with the Robertsons, as they hunt through the season, while staking their claim as the world's greatest duck hunters. Get ready for an exclusive look into the business, the blinds, and the minds that comprise Duck Commander.
