“The Crooked Slough Duck Hunting Company”
was legally created as a limited liability
company just a few months ago. Hello, my name is
Art Rodenberg, owner and operator of this
business. I named the company in honor of the
“Crooked Slough” that winds its way through
our property in the Mississippi river bottoms
near Pleasant Hill, IL, where I shot my first
duck when I was ten years old.

Growing up in the suburbs of
St. Louis, I would go to our farm with my dad
every weekend, especially during duck hunting
season. My love for waterfowl hunting began then
(well over thirty years ago). Every year I
worked in the corporate world as a sales person
or sales manager, I thought about when I retired
and the possibility of finally being able to
give as much time to duck hunting as I wanted.
The time is now and I’ve been working for four
years building levees, putting in pits,
relocating pits, pumping water, and the list
goes on; to create a place to hunt ducks that
will remind you of days past by creating an
environment that will hold ducks for as long as
they wish to stay. |

Now that the duck hunting portion of
the company is up and running, I’ve started my own
duck call business. All my duck calls are high-end Acrylic
calls tooled (not injection molded) on CNC equipment. I
have one model called the guide series that comes in
nine different colors. They are a single reed call that
can be made into a double reed call. Just specify that
you would like your call to be single or double reed
design when ordering. All duck calls are personally
tuned by me.
There will be more products to come in our online
store, including an
instruction CD, a duck hunting DVD, a competition / Big
Water call, and more. Keep checking us out and watch us
grow!
