Duck Dynasty (Series Review)

West Monroe, Ouachita Parish, Louisiana

Jigging frogs, hunting ducks, killing beaver and killing more beaver, hunting hawgs, catching crawfish, fishing for catfish, avoiding gators, dodging snakes and in their spare time they make duck calls. A lot of duck calls. And The Robertson Family made millions and millions of dollars. Welcome to the reality of Duck Dynasty.

I'm not big on beards and long hair. And I'm not from Louisiana the way my friend WoFat is. However, it would seem that they have a lot more fun than I do.

One of the biggest criticisms that can be levied is "too many days in the subdivision". It passes for curse words in the Louisiana swamps.
