or the gas station. He’s not complaining, though – after all, he understands that Duck Dynasty won’t be as famous as it is now if not for their fans.
Chapter 2: Si as an Important Part of the Robertson Clan
“What is this, Star Wars?! Hey, lasers are for space.” – Si Robertson
Si was the Robertson family’s baby. He had four older brothers and an elder sister that he was always compared with. He didn’t like being compared to someone else and this caused him to have an identity crisis.
Because of his brothers, Si learned to be afraid of the dark and to have separation anxiety. Knowing this, the brothers often hunted in the woods or played hide-and-seek with Si and he would be left alone in the woods at night.
Big Shoes to Fill
Tommy and Phil both played football – they were halfbacks and quarterbacks as well as all-state and all-district players. When Si also played football, understandably he had big shoes to fill.
When Si was at North Caddo High School, Si played quarterback during his freshman and sophomore seasons. Afterwards, he moved to end on offense, and linebacker and cornerback on defense. Si didn’t have problems training while growing up – that’s what two brothers constantly picking on him was for.
Chance for College Education
Si was told by his mother that they were going to send him to college whether he likes it or not. They didn’t have that much money but all of his siblings had finished their college education. Some of them even went back for their Master’s degrees.
Si told his Momma he wouldn’t want to waste their money for his college education. His mother disagreed and told him he didn’t really have a choice. He even tried to coerce his mother by saying he’ll just do nothing but party in college, but all his mother said to him was to have a good one (party).
When Si asked his mother why she was so bent on sending him to school, she said that she and his father doesn’t want Si to blame them if he gets a poor career. They’d like Si to have the opportunity to attend college, and all Si has to do is to make the most out of it.
And so, dear Uncle Si went to college without any idea on what’s going to happen next.
Chapter 3: Si and the Duck Commander Business
“Give me 15 more minutes. I’m dreaming about beavers.” – Si Robertson
Uncle Si doesn’t just loiter, hang around and sleep inside the Duck Commander warehouse. He actually fulfills an important part in their family business.
What does he exactly do and how significant is he to the others?
Read on.
Duck Commander: the Company and the Product
Duck Commander are two things: the duck calls and the company that manufactures it, along with other duck and deer-hunting merchandise which is known as Buck Commander.
The Company
The company was founded and established by Phil Robertson, and is based on West Monroe, Louisiana. It’s a typical mom-and-pop operation ran by a family with a rags-to-riches story.
Phil Robertson first made duck calls from salvaged swamp wood. His business started in a very old shed where he crafted the duck calls using Louisiana cedar trees.
From simple products, Duck Commander has now become a sporting empire. Aside from the famous duck calls and decoys, the company is now providing a product line that includes cooking products, hunting apparel, CDs, DVDs, and other novelty items that carry the Duck Commander brand.
The success of the company is not solely entrusted to Phil; Willie Robertson, Phil’s third son and Si’s nephew, has taken over as the CEO of the company and he was able to expand their business into a multi-million dollar venture.
The Product
Duck calls are what hunters use for, well, you guessed it right, calling ducks. The air blown on the duck calls produce a sound similar to the duck’s natural quacks hence attracting the ducks to the area. The duck calls are proudly crafted and tuned by hand since 1972, and its quality has never wavered from then
