Duck Commander

Duck Commander is both the brand of a best-selling duck call and the name of the company in West Monroe, Louisiana, United States. The company manufactures these calls and other duck-hunting merchandise, as well as deer-hunting merchandise under the Buck Commander brand.

Phil Robertson, a star football quarterback at Louisiana Tech University, founded the company rather than play professional football in the NFL. He began his business in a dilapidated shed, where he spent 25 years making duck calls from Louisiana cedar trees.

Robertson's third son, Willie Robertson, currently serves as the company's chief executive officer and has expanded it into a multi-million dollar enterprise.

The Robertson family and business are the subjects of Duck Dynasty, a reality television series on A&E. Before that, they were featured in the Duck Commander television show on the Outdoor Channel.
