I went to the Scheels waterfowl expo in Sioux City, Iowa today. It was pretty awesome! They had some good deals, but the best part was meeting Phil Robertson and talking with him. His seminar was excellent and he hit the nail on the head with every thing that he said.

Soooooo, what did he have to say?
 
Phil talked about a lot of things. He said that most people call too much and too loud and he went through different calling scenarios and what calls to use. He is a pretty good caller. He mixed in some humor and some religion. He quoted the founding fathers of our country. He also said that they would roll over in their graves if they could see how things are now. He may have offended a few people, but the way I look at it, they need to be offended, at least half as much as I have been by the way our country has been run the past few years.
 
Did he mention the oil spill?

Anything in regard to waterfowl conservation?

Is he still anti-refuge?
 
He didn't talk about the oil spill. He did say that after having record high water levels last year, that in March the water fell and they are in a drought right now.
He had some interesting things to say about Terry Bradshaw and football as well.
He said that he tried to take Terry out fishing once, but he wasn't much of a fisherman and he didn't hunt at all.
He also said that he elected not to go into pro football, since back then, the #1 draft pick got $100k over 5 years.
The Redskins offered him $60k over the same time and he turned it down.

I'm sure his calls are fine and he knows a lot about ducks but one thing, well two but I will stay away from the other thing, bothers me about his 'act'. This myth he puts out that he started in front of Bradshaw. Well yeah I suppose he did, he's older then Terry. In the three seasons he was on the team LA Tech won 5 games and I'm not sure he wasn't 'off hunting' by the end of the third year when the offence finally started to score and won two of those. If the Redskins did offer him a job they must have been a horribly run operation at the time cause he was not a winning or scoring QB. Funny they got very good right when Bradshaw started, he only lost 4 games in two seasons. They scored like crazy with Bradshaw, not so much with Phil.
I think Phil counts on people not looking up stats. Also $10 to $20 grand per year was pretty good money back in the late 60's. It would be like making $60 - 120,000 now and the NFL was not making money like it is now.

He needs to stick to ducks and not try to become some sort of self adulating super hero. He played D-1 football and got an education out of it, good for him. He needs to stop the story there.
