Hello! For those of you who do not know me, I am Landon Williams. Blogging is not something that I have ever tried before, but I am giving it a shot for the first time. If you have stumbled upon this blog, you are most likely in my Social Media Marketing class; and if you are not, I guess someone in the class liked it enough to share it elsewhere!
Those who know me, or see me around campus, probably have noticed that my truck is always muddy, my truck bed is usually full of decoys, and I am always wearing camo. What people do not know about me is that the camo and muddy truck are a way of life for me. I grew up in a small town, Oxford, in North Carolina and hunting has been in my blood since I could walk. Although duck hunting is my favorite, I also hunt for deer, geese, rabbits, pheasants, doves, coyotes, and turkeys. My dad, brothers, grandfather, cousins, and uncles all hunt with me, and we continue the tradition with each new addition to the family.
A typical Saturday in the Williams household (and now 737 Centennial) consists of a 3 am wakeup call, decoys in the truck, waders in the back, and a trek through a muddy swamp before shooting light to set up in the perfect hole. There is nothing that gets my blood pumping more than sitting in a blind in the swamp and watching the sun come up and seeing ducks fly across the sky. Most people will never understand it; my girlfriend is from Boston and it has taken her a while to even begin to understand how great it is. But trust me, it is amazing.
This is me in a swamp a few weeks back with two of the ducks we shot that morning.
Now I could sit here and say that we slay ducks every time we go, but the truth is that doesn’t happen all the time. If I shot a limit I would be ecstatic, but at the end of the day its not really about how many ducks we shoot. The memories that I have made in the swamps with my friends, brothers, family, are memories that I would not trade for anything.
This blog is going to be an ongoing journal of the many adventures that I have encountered while hunting. Whether it be about the memories I have made, the hunts themselves, or just random hunting information, I am using the blog to share my passion of hunting with you. I hope you enjoy!
