I went out to film and photograph a duck hunt this past weekend. We didn’t end up getting any ducks, but instead I focused on everything happening around me — and I’m glad I did.
No ducks, but here’s what I did walk away with:
I got my first real feel at what duck hunting is all about. It reminds me a bit of fishing — some days you go home empty-handed, and other days you absolutely crush it.
What really stood out to me was the discipline, fun, and family behind it. Watching two of my coworkers out there with their sons told me everything I needed to know about the culture surrounding this sport. You raise them young, teach them patience, responsibility, respect, and good values.
