Buster Cooper, proprietor of Bust-A-Duck (B.A.D.) Guide Service, located in the heart of waterfowl country in Gregory, Arkansas, has been in the duck/goose outfitting business since 1997. Hunters who stayed with him at his lodge experience some of the finest duck and goose hunting in the world, accompanied by attentive and knowledgeable guides, delicious meals at a family table and evenings around a fire pit.
In the past, his clients have purchased hoodies, ballcaps and tees shirts onsite, artfully designed with the B.A.D. logo. Because of the popularity of the brand, Cooper recently launched an online shopping site at his website, https://shopbustaduck.com.
The shop features new designs on hats, hoodies and tees, along with the classic Founder’s cap. It also offers a B.A.D. logo edition of an Echo Diamondwood/Poly duck call, an easy-to-blow, double-reed call that delivers a soft, mellow tone. The call comes in four colors: dark green, red, dark wood brown and light wood beige. Other items for sale include game totes, gaiters and gear bags.
Cooper added one of his personal favorites to the online collection – a beautiful coffee cup. Made from Arkansan potters, with either the B.A.D. logo or a duck in flight, each cup comes with a koozie and a sticker. Cooper, by the way, is known as “The Coffee Pot Guy” on Instagram, which features him at the B.A.D. coffee pot in the lodge – expounding about a topic or two that interests him at the time. It might be his opinion on youth in hunting, offering up baking/cooking recipes, wondering about waterfowl world changes, talking about the current weather situation and lots of other musings. You’ll see one of the B.A.D. coffee cups in his hand on every video.
Buster Cooper is a force in the outdoor industry. He built the B.A.D. brand while on a mission to provide a professional service that focuses on quality over quantity. Through that quality, he believes B.A.D. creates lasting memories. He hopes that people will remember their time with B.A.D. when they use or wear the collection.
