The History of the infamous Duck Kabobs Dave and Mike Meseberg were hunting ducks one cold December morning in 1974. It all started when we realized we had forgotten our lunch. We ended up breasting a duck, cutting into small pieces and threaded on a green willow stick and placed it over the fire bucket. Hence, the birth of the "Duck Kabob." The duck kabob has evolved. Now we use marinated duck meat, pineapple, peppers, apples, bacon, pieces of cheddar wurst, and if you are lucky you might get some shrimp. Many other guides in the area have tried to duplicate the recipe with no avail. Come try it yourself!

Harvey & Nancy Peterson

After all the years of running dogs in field trials, my wife Nancy and I decided a change was in order. Let’s concentrate on using the dogs in actual hunting scenarios. We’d been in duck clubs, and very nice operations at that. In our search for the right answer we discovered “The Duck Taxi” & soon realized that what we loved the best was the diversity of their hunts and the need for good dog-work. They hunt the 28,000 acres of Potholes Reservoir for ducks and have access to thousands of acres of goose land nearby. We go to different spots all the time. Overall, hunting with the Meseberg’s , their guides and their regular hunters has been a completely enjoyable experience. The dogs love it and we go as often as we can.
