Jr. World Duck News Congratulations to Greg Hubbell, Jr., Drake Waterfowl Junior Elite Team member, on winning the 2008 Jr. World Duck Calling Contest. Greg is one of the most accomplished competition callers not only for waterfowl, but for big game as well. Greg Jr. is also a five-time World Elk Bugling champion. At just 13 years old, he is only the second person ever to win World Championships in both a reed call competition (like duck and goose calls) and a diaphragm call (like an elk and turkey call). The only other person ever to accomplish this feat is Drake Elite Team member Harold Knight of Knight & Hale Game Calls. The Hubbell's make competition calling a family affair - Greg Sr. has also won the World Elk Bugling championship hosted by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation each year.
Greg Jr. beat out 25 contestants to win the Jr. World Duck Calling title. He has finished second in two previous trips to the contest, but attributes this year's success to more focused practice and maturing as a competition caller. Please join us in congratulation Greg Hubbell, Jr. with this contest win - we will no doubt be hearing his name on stage for a long time to come.
