By far the best show on TV right now. I have probaby watched all the episodes twice now. Phil and Si quotes are words to live by no doubt about it.

It'd be neat if they filmed it some during duck season. Kind of introduce the public to how these guys and other like them (us) are, and then ease them into a timber slaughtering. Maybe then would a few more people "get it".

We really enjoy the show but they are making Willie come off like a butt. I hope he really aint that way. The reat of the show is great.

my favorite. Jase describing Wililie. CEO. Caveman with large EGO whose Obese

They do, but it is on the Outdoor Channel: Benelli Presents Duck Commander http://outdoorchannel.com/search.aspx?j ... 0commander . Buck Commander Protected by Under Armour is a good one too http://outdoorchannel.com/search.aspx?j ... 0commander .

I wish I could agree with you. The world is still bad mouthing us from Mississippi because of the 60's, and now they are laughing at Louisiana because they are convinced that the entire state is a marshland.

Let's face it, some people don't get it, can't get it, and won't ever get it. And to them we politely say, "please stay away". Because they are wierd.

At first, I was quite against "Hollywood" getting their grubby paws on an outfit like Duck Commander and ruining them. Thus far the show has been entertaining and I have enjoyed some of the antics they pull. Like some have said, the best part of the show to me is showing them all at the end gathered around a large table, saying grace, and eating as one big family. Don't know if that part is "for show" or not, but if it is, it's certainly the best thing Hollywood has done in regards to scripting a part of a show.

It's funny that my friend in Canada, who only duck hunts when I drag him (literally pull him though the mud in a canoe) duck hunting when I go back to visit, loves the show, and all his super non-hunting friends love the show. Every week he sends me a text about the show.

What's funny to me is that all the folks who aren't aware actually believe them all to be super wealthy. In actuality, none of the Robertson's are actual millionaires. Though they do quite well compared to most, the certainly aren't driving Rolls-Royces as they portray them to on the show.

Wonder how much the show is paying them???

Celebrity net worth has Willie at $10mm. Not too unbelievable for me.

BS. I highly doubt Primos sold his company for that, and Primos is 10x bigger than the Duck Commander brand. His net worth is theoretical. It would only be in the millions if they factored selling the company.

I disagree......I would bet a large sum that you are wrong on the Primos assumption. I am not saying that Willie for sure has a $10mm net worth as I don't know and I surely don't put a lot of stock in anything on the net, but it is not that far fetched. Net worth is important in my line of work and I can tell you just like in scoring a deer that Nets are for fish. He could have a $10mm personal net worth and be in business debt up to his ears and not have $100 cash to take his family out to supper. I don't know anything for sure, but I do know some people that are close to the Robertson's and they say not to be fooled. They are all highly intelligent, so who knows what they got??? I was blown away to find out that Phil has a masters in English!!! Also, they will be figuring into his net worth the worth of his portion of the company and if he has a large % of it that makes the net worth more believable.

Primos was bought for $6 million. I, like several others on this site know Will, and knew that he was by no means loaded before the sale of Primos. He did extremely well in the hunting industry, much better than the the Robertson's company (which is not a slight to them), but was not what most would consider a millionaire. I believe Primos was #5 in the hunting products industry behind Mossy Oak, Real Tree, Hunter Specialties, and one other. He did very well with the sale of the company because he is still the face of Primos and collects a salary, but even he isn't Rolls Royce rich.

might it be possible that assets other than a licensing and call manufacturing operation contribute to one or more of the robertson's net worth? for instance, suppose two or three natural gas pipelines come across a very large parcel of property that is used primarily in business operations of an outfitter. equity in the land, if any, will factor into net worth and the natural gas company will be reguired to pay for the easement for their pipeline, and if the owner can show an interruptionin business due to the pipeline coming through, as well as lost income that may have been lost on account of the interuption, the owner would stand to realize a pretty hefty penny.

owning a thousand acres free and clear would easily result in a net worth upwards of $1m-$2.5m.

got a brother-in-law who had a few hundred acres that had three pipelines come through that dang near paid as much as he bought it for. im not saying thats what happened, but if they are diversified, they could easily accumulate a multi-million $$ net worth.

It's possible, but my only point was that many people think the Robertson's are like the Clampets and are rolling in the dough the way they portray it on the show.
