Coming up very soon is the Membership banquet for the Dallas County Chapter of the Ducks Unlimited. As many of you know Duck Hunting has a special place in my heart because the last hunt I did with my father before his accident was a guided duck hunt with some of my now good friends. In his memory, I buy a duck stamp for every customer who brings me a trophy out of my profits.

I am currently searching for people who want to help with a project for the youth of the banquet. My goal is to set up a couple of young hunters with enough good quality gear that they can go out and have success on their own and/ or possibly take a friend that can't afford stuff on their own.

Any donations or item sponsorships would be appreciated by me but more importantly by the kids who are our future of conservation and hunting.

Please like share and follow for updates and feel free to contact me directly at my shop phone (515)993-1183 with any questions or to donate. No amount is to big or small.

I’m challenging all of my fellow duck hunters to help me kick this off if you hunt ducks please take a selfie with your duck stamp and post it using one of or both of the hashtags then challenge 2 nonhunters to buy a stamp and do the same.

Today marks the start of my Duck Stamp Campaign! From this point forward every mount that leaves the shop I will buy the customer a Federal Duck Stamp.

Why is this a big deal? You ask. The Federal Duck Stamp currently cost $25 and of that 98% goes directly to conservation. This means for every mount that leaves my shop I am donating $23 straight to conservation. My goal is to give out at least 50 duck stamps by the end of the deer season 2020.

Keeping Wild Spirits was founded not only to help you tell the story of your hunt but also the idea that we need to do what we can to ensure wildlife is there for future generations.

Thank you Jason Fisher for being a good sport taking a photo with me and to Sam Soholt Soholt Photography https://instagram.com/samsoholt?igshid=gvxi0adu71nc for letting me barrow your duck stamp for customers idea.
