Rise and Fall of the Duck Dynasty
Questions you may have had about the Robertson family.
Is Duck Dynasty still being filmed?
No, Duck Dynasty, a reality TV series that aired on A&E from 2012 to 2017, is no longer being filmed. The show followed the Robertson family, who became wealthy from their family-operated business, Duck Commander, which makes products for duck hunters, including a best-selling duck call.

How did they get started?
The Robertson family, who are the stars of Duck Dynasty, actually got started in the duck call business back in the 1970s. Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the family, was an avid duck hunter and began making duck calls out of Louisiana cedar wood in his backyard. He found that his homemade duck calls were very effective, and soon began selling them to his friends and fellow hunters.
In 1972, Phil founded the company Duck Commander, which specialized in producing duck calls and other hunting-related merchandise. Over time, the business grew and became a successful family-run operation. Phil’s son, Willie Robertson, joined the business in the 1990s and helped to expand the company’s reach through marketing and sales efforts.
In 2012, the Robertson family became the stars of the reality TV show Duck Dynasty, which showcased their Southern lifestyle and quirky personalities. The show was a hit and helped to further promote the family’s business, Duck Commander. Today, the Robertson family and their business are quite well-known in the hunting and outdoor communities, and their success can be traced back to Phil’s original duck call made in his backyard.
Did Phil and Willie make any money?

Like Phil and Willie, Si made money from his appearances on the show, but he also made money from his book deals and merchandise sales.
Si served in the military before joining the family business, Duck Commander, and his unique personality and catchphrases became a hit with viewers. His popularity led to the spinoff shows, “Going Si-ral” and “Si Renews Wedding Vows,” both of which also contributed to his net worth. Overall, Si Robertson has been very successful thanks to his involvement in Duck Dynasty and his unique personality that resonated with viewers.
