My name is Randy Rawlings, I was born May 30th 1974. Growing up in northeast Missouri on the Mississippi River put me in a duck blind from an early age on. Waterfowl hunting has been a part of our family tradition since my great grandfather hunted the flooded timber of Arkansas where most of my family was born and raised. The love of waterfowl hunting has not changed in my family ever since. During my service as a U.S. Marine I found that I took all my vacation time coming back home to waterfowl hunt with friends and family. I have been blessed to have a loving wife and children that support me even when I am gone for most of 5 months of the season following the migration from Canada to Arkansas with my Father and a few close friends. I thank God daily for that opportunity. If not hunting I spend most of my time dog training, preparing for the next season and spending time with family. Our group has used almost every major brand of decoy out there and I have yet to see the decoy that can take the punishment of day in and day out use of the Dakotas. They have definitely raised the bar in the waterfowl industry. It is a true honor to support a company like Dakota that supports me in the field.
