Jim Stryker's passion for duck hunting is more than a pastime; it's a cherished ritual that connects him with nature's raw beauty and the thrill of the hunt. Nestled in the heart of the migration routes, his secret hunting ground near Lake Coeur d'Alene is a sanctuary where the camaraderie of friends and the anticipation of the hunt converge into unforgettable moments. This hidden gem, blessed with abundant wildlife and pristine landscapes, offers Jim and his companions a world-class hunting experience.

But the hunt is just the beginning. Following each expedition, Jim and his close-knit friends host a "cleaning party," a tradition that culminates in creating duck sausages—a delicacy shared among themselves and with the broader community. Twice a year, this circle of hunters transforms their bounty into a feast, donating duck sausage to local foster children and shelters for battered women. It's a testament to Jim's belief in giving back, blending his love for the outdoors with a deep commitment to supporting those in need.
