EP 98. Havre de Grace, Maryland Duck Hunting, Jobes Brothers

Duck Season Somewhere
Duck Season Somewhere
Episode • Feb 1, 2021 • 50m

Stepping into the shop is like walking into the past. Located about a 1/4-miles from the fabled Susquehanna River, it's as much museum as thriving decoy business. Smells of sawdust and fresh paint permeate the air; shelved decoys and pinned photos, a combination of yesteryear and present. Ramsey Russell meets with Captains Charles, Bobby and Joey Jobes, gaining insight into the halcyon days of Chesapeake Bay duck hunting and traditional decoy carving. How'd the brothers become decoy carvers and what were their influences? What was it like growing up in Havre de Grace, hunting Susquehanna Flats? How have things changed? What uniquely regional hunting method developed here and still ardently practiced today?  It was a fun introduction to duck hunting the Chesapeake Bay.
