John Otto has been hunting Waterfowl and all other things winged for over 25 years from the northern plains of Canada to the warm marshes of Mexico. His passion for Waterfowl is an all year endeavor, when not in the marsh or on the salt you will find him working on taxidermy for his trophy room which is currently at around 120 mounts and counting. Other passions include Labradors, decoy carving, avriculture, and writing. John has authored two books, one being a collection of stories titled A Season of Wing-Shooting, and another called An Otto Brothers Collection of Waterfowl, a collaboration of reference photo's with his hunting partner and brother Jason Otto. John is also a Director for the Washington Brant Foundation and with his brother, travels throughout his home state of Washington giving 6 to 8 seminars and speaking engagements a year on various Waterfowl related subjects. A collector, John is only 3 birds away from Master status, something he hopes to accomplish within the year.

Mike thanks his father for starting him hunting at age 6 and he will now enjoy his 38th season this coming year. Growing up on the Texas gulf coast with its vast
array of wintering waterfowling terrain that includes the open bay systems,
lakes, coastal plains and agriculture industry, more noticeably the farming
of rice, he has lived and hunted in a "playground" for the avid waterfowler.
In recent years, I've been privileged to have traveled to 7 states and 3 of
the 4 major North American flyways chasing birds and specific trophies.

Ray is an old time California waterfowler who has been at it 58 years and have shot his share of birds. From him he now says it is more fun watching my grand kids now then busting birds!!! Don't get me wrong I still love to do that also.

Bruce has spent time hunting coast to coast and belongs to three of the societies – the honker, puddler and salty! He is working toward becoming a member of the Master Waterfowler Society with only one bird left!
