We only thought we'd seen and done a lot together until videographer, Jake Latendresse and I went duck hunting in Peru. From nearly 16,000 feet high into the Andes Mountains for a handful of mountain waterfowl species found nowhere else on earth to along the Pacific Ocean at sea-level duck for cinnamon teal and white-cheeked pintail, every day was an absolute stand-alone adventure.

On October 17, 2007, the hammer finally came down on young Sam Necaise, who believed himself bulletproof.

Duck Season Somewhere ·

2023/10/09

Sam Necaise grew up deer hunting in south Mississippi with his dad. In many ways, his younger days remind me of my own. Maybe similar to yours, too. But big bucks were pretty tough to come by where he grew up--unless you knew a place where few people hunted. Because it was posted. And maybe folks willing to break a few little laws are willing to break bigger and more. Maybe the lines even start getting blurry. And maybe some folks even relish an outlaw reputation. Until the hammer falls. This

Kennie Prince lurked deep beneath the surface, operating deep undercover, penetrating nefarious poaching rings that illegally ransacked wildlife resources--migratory game birds, paddle fish, furbearers, deer, you name it--for profit, usually, or just plain fun.
