My name is Dennis W. Cassel Jr. I have been hunting since I was (12) twelve years old. Approximately (6) six years ago, I gave up all hunting with the exception of waterfowl hunting which is my love. I hunt ducks and geese from Manitoba Canada, Arkansas to all over the Atlantic Flyway. I am a United States Coast Guard Licensed Captain. I own Cassel's Guide Service which is a waterfowl guide service in New Jersey. I have 4 guides in addition to myself and we guide for everything from Puddle Ducks in the South Zone salt marshes, divers and Atlantic Brant along the coastal marshes to Sea Ducks off- shore in the Delaware Bay. I am a member of Ducks Unlimited and the New Jersey Waterfowl Association.

I judge calling competitions and travel to waterfowl shows in Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey and New York during the summer months. I assemble decoys for MADDECOYS and my Finace' paints gunning birds for my Guide Service as well as MADDECOYS. There is something special about a bird that decoys over something that you built and your fiance' has painted.

In the summer time, you will find me relaxing fishing and crabbing the marshes of New Jersey and Delaware with my family.

I have been a Police Officer for (15) fifteen years in Municipal Police Department in Pennsylvania. I am also a Tactical Operator on a SWAT Team.

I am proud to be part of the Drake Team. While hunting, I wear drake clothing exclusively and swear by it. I have even worn Drake Clothing on Wet, Rainy Training Days on the range. I have put many lines of clothing through the real life test and Drake handles the elements above the rest. I will tell you that many products I use or have used are good and have no personal preference. When it comes to clothing for waterfowl hunting this is not the case. My belief is strong that Drake is the BEST. Those who know me will tell you that I am serious about Drake. I would like to thank Drake for having such a wonderful product to make all my days in the elements more enjoyable and more comfortable.

Remember everyone, you can never extend yourself enough to our youths. They are our adults of the future. Take the time and get our children involved.
