Team DrakeTakers: Dakota Decoys in NoDak

Everyone thinks that their hunting club is the one that everyone wants to be a part of and since 2006 Team DrakeTakers has been that one. Head Pro-staffer Justin "The DrakeTaker" Reamer and Pro-staffer Austin Urban started DrakeTakers up 3 years ago and it has grown to have the reputation of killing waterfowl. Being part of Team DrakeTakers is known pretty well around the Topeka area and we are even asked about it at local Ducks Unlimited events. It all started in one of our early morning duck hunts on the Kansas River waiting for the first drake to take flight we started talking about making a name for ourselves. So as the day went on and in between the ducks landing in our laps we started coming up with names. Thats when Justin Reamer came up with DRAKETAKERS. From that moment on Team DrakeTakers was born. We now do everything we can to hunt ducks and geese, adding decoys to our spread, perfecting our calling and scouting out fields to ensure the hunt will be limitless fun with limits of waterfowl. Along with loving to hunt ourselves we also love to volunteer our time to DU. Justin is on the Topeka and Oregon Trail DU committees. Our biggest enjoyment from hunting is getting the younger generation out on some hunts. We started taking out younger kids from our area during the youth season. There is nothing better then going out and watching there faces light up when the first duck or goose gets into range. That is what being a DrakeTaker is all about, we have spread into making shirts, decals, and the latest being this website. We hope you enjoy it and will use all the information and tips to get the ducks and geese close enough to yell “DRAKE TAKE EM”.
