The patriarch of the thirties McIlhennys and the editor of Field and Stream make a heck of a pair of duck hunters. Their dog handler isn't a slouch either.

I visited the Tabasco plant about 20 yrs ago & did a tour of Avery Island while there. The Egrets were nesting while I was there, quite a site. McIlhenny was the founder of Tabasco.

Have been to Avery Isaland in March 3 or 4 times, saw lot of bird life but no ducks. Sent that video to some of my Cajun duck hunting buddies. Told them I expect to see hats and ties when we hunt. We'll see what happens right after Christmas when I get there.
