"The Lost Tape" Phil Robertson's Plain Truth About Duck Hunting

[@williamsanders3182]

He was the man then, and still is. That's one of the best, most practical water fowl videos ever produced. I've duck hunted since 1975, and that info hasn't changed. Praying for you Phil.

[@gregshelton4487]

Thanks for playing!! This was a fantastic video! Especially to be 35 plus years old!!

[@rw4657]

I can't believe how much Jep looks like Phil in this video. I love watching this lost video! I never knew how the duck calls worked. (I've never gone hunting but it's very interesting) Thank you Phil for this. God bless you and your family. I love watching duck dynasty and anything that has to do with your family. Y'all are great.

[@me-ug5vk]

Watched this with my granddaughter and she said, they are good “shoters” LOL! Appreciate this, love Phil and his family.

[@markmickle3224]

Best Duck caller and Hunting style in History. Been using his calls since the late 70's

[@ET-sp6qm]

Nah

[@mr.joshuah1412]

Yes!

I wouldn’t say he’s the best but he’s pretty good

[@Digglerdirk79-l4y]

So your just a lazy hunter that never tried anything new we gotcha bud

[@shortcake5472]

I cannot believe how much Jep looks like Phil!!!!!!!❤️loved this.

[@vickiewhite5831]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

[@ItzMzJulez2U]

I’ve always thought Jep & Jase look like Phil, Alan & Willie look like Ms. Kay! Enjoyed watching this. Lookin forward to more ‘lost tapes!’ Be blessed.🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

[@mkwellesley4707]

This was great for myself as a viewer and huge fan, it breaks my heart to know Phil is in bad shape, i pray for him and the entire Robertson family!

[@nubzgmobile6175]

I believe it's just aging right? I know he's so godly I'm sure he's ready. Super sad for us though and his family

[@Digglerdirk79-l4y]

​@@nubzgmobile6175Alzheimer's and blood disorders aren't just normal aging.id God is so great why'd he give Phil the worst disease to have? Mind prison. 😂 Some god

[@GossMania]

So amazing. This is awesome old archive of y’all’s legacy. Such blessing to have. Thanks for sharing.

[@drh488]

Phil was born a special feller....love it...thanks for showing it.

[@bueford668]

My father-in-law bought that VHS tape around 1988. My friends and loved watching with him. We all had the 70s Army surplus coats & gear. It sure brings back good memories. It was something new and cool for the times to watch and learn from. My son's Seth & Colt now have those tapes.

[@karenkollects9277]

This is a work of art. PLEASE release it as what it is which is Mr. Robertson educating us on how it is done correctly, efficiently, and humbly. He is a National Treasure and God speed sweet man! God bless you and please take away all the pain he is 😢!

[@elainethomas9532]

This is priceless! Phil is ahead of time using KZbin to teach before podcasting was even a thing! Brilliance 🦆 Praying for Phil and family 🙏💗🙏

[@jflu79]

Looks like Jeb ❤ Prayers for the Robertson family.

[@mackdallen108]

I'd love to hear a commentary from Phil. I'm sure there are new things he's learned since, we learn something new every day. I think that would be absolute gold as far as knowledge and experience.

[@nathanschuley7958]

He has a podcast

[@alexp4763]

Hey guys Alex Pincock here from Calgary Canada. Thanks so much for all your hard work. I would love to see a limited edition anthology of “Duckmen” with extras, bloopers and lost tapes. Praying for the best. Take care all

[@justthomas8609]

As someone born in 96, it's wild to see nothing has changed in almost 40 years!

[@jsorbet]

I agree. And it’s interesting because it’s unusual. ‘79 here.

[@CooperJones777]

Ducks are still just ducks.

[@Ange-qs8kq]

This is a critical tutorial even if you do not run a Duck Commander call. My father bought that VHS at either Mack's in Stuttgart or The Swap Shop in Warren, AR. At the time I was living in Dallas and when the crops locked up in Mer Rouge, LA and Eudora, we made a beeline to the N end of Felsenthal. Dad would have a full complement of Duck videos to get us fired up. When those farms in SE AR and NE LA, iced over, it was Katie bar the door in those flooded hardwood bottoms of S AR!

[@dennisremlap6916]

Makes me old but I remember watching this. That's how I learned to call ducks. I also have his wood duck call. People love the sound of it!😁 I have 2 of his calls.

[@salvatorecogliano2732]

I love Duck Dynasty. I own about a dozen different calls. Heck, I got Band-Aids and playing cards with Duck Dynasty on them. I got hats, clothes, scarves, and plenty of other things. I wear so many Duck Dynasty items they called me Duck Dynasty, man. God bless you all. Love and respect always

[@albertmorris9780]

Please, please, please, come out with this. I’d like to see a complete set sold as well. Everything you guys have on DVD. I’d buy it.

[@JamesHolliday-g6l]

Hey, nice to see you Martin and Godwin. Miss watching you on Duck Dynasty.

[@Gail-B.1234]

Oh yes I would purchase that dvd for my grandson! Thank you for showing us this soft side of Phil, you can see his passion for ducks, and he is a great teacher.

[@mikehood5210]

When I was at Louisiana Tech this duck call guy came to see us in Neilson Dorm. been hooked ever since. thanks for the flashback to the 80s. awesome.

[@shawndixon786]

Man, I called the number on the back of the video where ya'll hunted the green heads in flooded timber. I called the number and some guy named Willy answered. We talked. He invited me to hunt some peanut fields with them near Waco. I was working for Church so I didn't have two nickels to rub together and had to deny the invite. Little did I know back then. lol. I've been a fan of Duck Commander since the mid 80's. And I had to explain to my lab Macey why I turned down a duck hunt. She had no gas money either. I grew up in my teen years on Marty Staufer, Grizzly Adams, Bill Dance, and Phil Robertson from the original DU Browing ad days. Now days you all helped be a better father to my dead eye shooting kids and a Mighty Oaks Alumni. Amen, and pass the ammo. All the best. Shawn P.S. I'd buy 4 DVD's if available. You're spot on we still use DVD for clients when we take them to our Co. Ranches. They would love this in the collection. Those guys would love it vs. more Rocky and Terminator.

[@coreyv3071]

This was one video I had to have and would watch every weekend at the camp before the hunt. Starting at 13 years old.

[@karenmoore5620]

Phil is absolutely right. My dad raised us on a lake in money Mississippi and we would go duck hunting ❤. I miss being on the lake in the duck blind with our black lab dutches. This is the soumds of ducks. ❤❤.

[@kinglolotheIII8512]

I used to have this tape on VHS. It was called "The art of commanding ducks"

[@thunderstruck5484]

I remember getting a video camera in the mid eighties, had it hanging off my shoulder with the tape in it, many air shows and also a firecracker 400 were taped in 86 , thanks for posting this awesome classic video

[@skeemarty]

The intro music takes me right back to old school tv!

[@thehoosieroutdoorsmen5067]

As a duck call maker myself, that intro sequence has be the coolest thing I have ever seen. I loved this video! Thanks guys!

[@duckbrian7973]

Phil had an amazing way to explain how and why. I’ve called in many many ducks because of Phil’s great lessons. He’s a hero from my childhood. Thanks Phil.

[@seanreese311]

God Bless Phil Robertson 🙏🏻✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@brandonburdette7895]

I grew up in the 80s it brings me back to see old vhs and the music times where a lot simpler back then thanks for sharing this video boys

[@chrisanthycarbajal0725]

Wow!! Mr. Phil described the art of duck calling so well and thoroughly! He is truly gifted 🙏🏼♥️Loved it! God bless y’all abundantly ♥️✝️♥️

[@nancystrong3303]

Amazing! A man highly deserving of the name Duck Commander!

[@ScottOwens28]

Love those old videos. Y'all need to bring back that end montage retro audio music and redo it with a modern swampy electric slide guitar!

[@straightforward]

Thanks guys! So cool to watch!

[@chagoot1024]

I've never heard Phil talk so much at one time in my life! I'm an old woman from Lowell, MA, and never got the opportunity to do any hunting, but have always enjoyed bumping into Duck Commander videos on the Internet. It's a combination of science and art, hunting, and fishing as well.

[@richardneal2356]

DVD would complete my collection.

[@josephbenge8707]

That was an awesome video of Phil teaching his knowledge of Duck calling and hunting. First time i have ever seen it, so thanks for showing it. I have never been duck hunting but have always wanted to do it. Prayers for Phil and his family for his health issues. God bless you all!!

[@lane7964]

I remember my dad and his hunting buddies watching these videos right before duck season right before I took hunters safety in 1991. Brings back memories. Thank you

[@TrevinBoudreaux]

Reminds me of the “Art of commanding ducks” videos. Helped me so much learning as a kid

[@randy_t1a]

Count me in on the DVD! I need this in my collection.

[@72PRODIGALSON]

Phil is like THE Bob Ross of Duck Calling!

[@troydixon9019]

Definitely need it on DVD

[@bboutdoors4506]

💯 need to do a lost footage and bloopers! Also a full package with every duckmen video at a good price! Been watching since I was 12 first video I was hooked.

[@geraldskinner63]

Very Cool!! I see so much of Jep in younger Phil.

[@joylanden6836]

I love this. I would love it on DVD

[@courtneesdad]

Now that’s a treasure from the past. Wow, that was awesome. Don’t tell Si he could sell these videos and make money. He would be sitting on the corner with a sign. Probably have some Phil Robertson 8x10 photos, with a price tag 😂

[@thegoodonez84]

Thank you, Robertson and Duck Commander family for taking the time out of your day to teach us the good news and stories in computer land.

[@PaulmikeDeanHollywood3]

Around '84 I was running traps on Wallace Lake in Caddo Parish, Louisiana. I was 13.It had to be around Christmas and I saw a flock of mallards that had hundreds of ducks in it. They landed about 1oo yards. from me. Duck blinds were there but nobody in them. It was around 10.30 in the morning. They didn't pay me any attention. I've never seen anything like it before or sense. I will never forget that. I sat and watched for a while. I just wonder if anyone else has seen a flock this massive here in Louisiana. 🤔

[@jakev4191]

Every year.

[@raquelknowles7607]

Omg jep looks just Mr Phil here . Thank you 🙏 for showing this . God bless him

[@SethKnight-t3v]

Pure logic from Phil.

[@christinekohler8866]

I ain’t kidding’ when I say this Phil is what you call a “genius“ This man goes 💯 in everything he does in life. His brain is AMAZING TRULY.

[@ericfields1950]

I remember renting these videos when I was a kid big into duck hunting.

[@erinlambers6819]

I would like this on dvd to go with my collection.

[@dentonnix1480]

I'll buy the DVD, I have all of them already, watch them all the time at camp with no service.

[@squirrel-eatingjon2514]

I totally agree that making sounds that are not like a duck make no sense. I make sounds like a duck everywhere i go in life and it serves me very well.

[@dianegray6545]

Loved this. Please make a dvd of this.

[@js-jd1dx]

Phil is Truly a Duck Commander. He taught me Soo much about Duck Calling and hunting… and Life ❤✝️

[@aaronbowen8411]

I would for sure buy this in a dvd. Also you guys should rerelease those calls. I would buy those as well

[@taylorbernard8497]

Yes put it on DVD I will by it.

[@lostonpurpose3734]

A video, within a video, within a video. 👍 DVD

[@Isaiah55six]

Loved it! Please put this on DVD!

[@pattilynch587]

Martin, you can send your tape to a place called legacy box, they can covert it to a DVD. I sent in old movies from my grandparents they were old, they did a great job.

[@garyjones901]

DVD please

[@rycrawford5126]

In my area especially when they are super active the mallard hens throw long deep raspy cadence. It's almost like they are having a competition of who can get the raspyest. So I have always preference low toned raspy calls. But if you have just a couple floater geese and one person plays a goose flute it's game over. Mallards use geese as sentrys.

[@stevedavison6115]

Enjoyed the video’s boys. I to thought I’d watched all of Phil’s videos. Glad y’all had found this one. It went well with my bacon sandwich. Blessings to you all! Merry Christmas.

[@taylorbernard8497]

Love and have all your duck hunting videos.

[@durchh7]

Just got into dove hunting last year. LOVE IT! Trying to get into duck hunting now but mainly have wood ducks on our creek. Wish we had mallards for the "easy mode" lol but

[@lawrencecoffeyjr1300]

Outstanding. God Bless America Again...Only Jesus Saves...

[@helloperson1229]

Jesus Christ loves the person reading this comment

[@grantharper7515]

He loves you too!

[@thatguysota9313]

Hey sure does! He’s faithful and never changed and never will! Bless his holy name!

[@TCB690]

And he loves the people that didn't read this right now 🥰🙏🏽💯

[@jtothefx]

Praise and Glory to God!

[@arthurballou2375]

Amen

[@jeremydawson5969]

Put it DVD sure can learn alot from Phil Robertson

[@Formerlywarmer]

Wow! Nice piece of history of the early days of duck commander. Amazing way to live and share the knowledge so others can enjoy it the life. Thanks !

[@JakeBlount-i5q]

Loved every year when y’all came to hunt in tippo Mississippi by our farm! I was a young boy with ducks on my mind 365 but the week the DC crew came to Grenada and tippo I was more excited than waiting on Christmas Eve ! Still love to trick them into locking them wings and falling through the trees.

[@dontblameme6328]

I think it was around this time that Phil came to my hometown of Groves, TX to meet with Jim "Cowboy" Hernandez -- creator of the Yentzen duck call and Founder of Sure Shot Game calls. Yentzen is the undisputed best of all mallard calls.

[@cathydemarest3572]

Well I thoroughly enjoyed this, and will be looking forward to some more. Wish I still had a VHS player have a few old tapes. Ya think no one will ever watch them but here we are❤️

[@beverlyweaver8754]

I am SO loving this. I would love to be able to get thus on DVD. Phil is almost as passionate about ducks as he is the Lord. This is awesome. I've watched Duck Dynasty from when it came out and I've watched the Blind. I love your story. As a Christian I love and appreciate your videos and podcasts. Thank yall for your dedication to sharing God's word and leading folks to Jesus. I was 14 when this tape was made. Yes, I still have a vcr and several vhs tapes 😆

[@steviecarrolljr3508]

Hello guys from Kentucky Big fan big fan love you guys

[@westpac6954]

I prefer old Cajun style single reed bamboo duck calls because they are more versatile, but Mr. Phil's discussion about calling ducks is 100% right on. Calling strategy can vary in different settings but it's all essentially, "less is more". Listen to the actual ducks. I will say, what he was referring to as a feeding call, then said he had only heard it from ducks in flight. Once I was at a pond with a few hundred ducks in it, and there were a few hens, not a lot, but a few making the sound and it wasn't more noticeable than the other quacking and noise they were making.

[@fall3n245]

Young Phil is wild. Praying for him and his family!

[@brandonsmith606]

This was awesome and it for sure rings true. I watched some video called calling ducks. It had a couple Arkansas boy's and I about wore that thing out lol. Now I teach young folks and beginners how to call. I got about 35/36 years under my belt.

[@princecatstarr102]

Prayers for Phil.....he knows his craft and like the old timers say.....if it ain't broke...don't fix it. Phil is a tough ol' duck and I'm praying he improves.

[@mikepiercejr.8396]

This reminds me of a cassette tape Phil made in the early to mid 90’s with Steve Schultz.

[@leasplans894]

He looks like Jase and Jep here!!

[@cyndimanka]

Oh my gosh, I can’t believe how much he looks like Jase

It's a good thing to be able to go back in time with family friends and memories God Bless You All

[@martinmetcalf9307]

This is what inspired me when I started duck hunting in the eighties I still have my 80’s duck commander calls I actually called him to order my calls back in the day cuttem boys

[@RobertSherman-h9d]
