Justin "The DrakeTaker" Reamer

Justin was introduced to waterfowl hunting by his father Jeff when he was 8 years old and he has been addicted ever since. "I can still remember my first hunt, when two Drake Mallards came into the spread and my dad said take em' and I dropped both Drakes." Ever since then Justin has been hunting waterfowl religiously. Growing up in Silver Lake, KS in the Kaw Valley and along the banks of Kansas River, Justin is lucky enough to be in the middle of the migration season after season. It wasn't until 3 years ago that Justin became known as "The DrakeTaker" when him and his buddy and fellow Pro-Staffer Austin Urban decided to make a name for themselves in the world of waterfowling. Every season Justin spends every day during the long season either scouting one of the many fields he has permission on, tuning calls, taking out youth hunters, or his personal favorite sitting in a blind doing some DrakeTaken'. As much as Justin loves hunting he also realizes the importance of conservation when it comes to waterfowl. That's why he volunteers his time with the Oregon Trail DU Chapter and is the chairman for the Topeka DU Chapter. Justin is lucky enough to be able to hunt all over NE Kansas as he has permission on fields in Grantville, Rossville, St. Marys, and any field around Silver Lake. When it comes to decoys he prefers Dakota Brand stating that." they are the most realistic, durable decoys on the market." His favorite type of waterfowl hunt is hunting geese over water, "There's nothing like seeing the splash a big old honker makes after falling from the sky." Justin's passion for waterfowl hunting has given him many great opportunities over the years and recently Justin became a Pro-Staffer for the Kansas Hunting & Fishing Forum, and Natural Gear Camo, he is also a Field Staffer for Dakota Decoys.

Jason Tarwater

Jason's father and grandfather got him started hunting when he was 14 starting with turkey, but a passion for bowhunting big whitetail soon took over. At 16 he took his largest buck to date; a 13pt non-typical gross scoring 170". He then went to Kansas State University to pursue a Wildlife Biology degree. At KSU Jason was President and VP of the school's Wildlife Society chapter and Chairman of the DU chapter. He graduated in December 08' with the Wildlife degree as well as a Fisheries Biology degree. While at KSU a passion for waterfowl started consuming schoolwork and bow season. Now if he's not sitting in a treestand he is in his Eliminator blind or on the river bank waiting for waterfowl. His life-long goal is to guide youth and handicapped hunters at no cost so they can experience things that most of us take for granted everyday. Jason also just became a Pro-staffer of the Kansas Hunting & Fishing Forum.
Jason is currently working for Ducks Unlimited up in North Dakota.

Austin Urban

Austin has been hunting for over 10 years now. He started hunting turkey when he was 12 and has always been able to get a bird or two a year. He has also hunted deer for a couple years now with his largest buck being a 12 point non – typical. He was never really in to waterfowl until he was about 17. Over the last 5 years he has learned how to call pretty well and is one of the lead goose callers on Team DrakeTakers. Over the last 3 years Austin has shot 3 bands, 1 snow goose and 2 Canadian geese.


Austin says that, "as a Goose caller I started with a flute and have now mastered the short reed. My first short reed was “The Pit Boss” by Knight and Hale. This was a great starter call but now that I have become kind of experienced I use a call called the “Goose Blues” made by Table Leg Calls out of Topeka Kansas. This is a great short reed that needs very little back pressure but you can still get the deep “growler” sound that everyone wants. When it comes to duck calling I use the red Quack Head call it isn’t an expensive call and it is very easy to use. It allows me to do all aspects of calling. It has a great High ball and you can still get the feeder call that everyone wants to get those ducks to finish in your laps."

Jeff Neal

Jeff was born in Southeast Missouri along the Mississippi River in the area known as the “Bootheel”. This was prior to the area being the waterfowl mecca that it has recently become and so his younger years were spent chasing small game and the occasional quail. He shot his first Canada goose in the fields of Southern Illinois and has been hooked since.
After attending SouthEast Missouri State, Jeff joined the Army to “See the world” and was stationed at Ft. Riley, Kansas. While not a far distance geographically, the difference in the areas in terms of hunting opportunities were night and day. He has decided to make his home in Kansas due to the bountiful hunting and fishing opportunities which exist.
An avid waterfowler, Jeff can also be found hunting gobblers in the spring as well as bow hunting for deer in NE Kansas each fall.
Understanding the need to give back to the resource, Jeff has been involved with Ducks Unlimited for approximately 15 years and has most recently been serving as District Chair for 5 NE Kansas Chapters.
Jeff and Jolene live in Kansas with their two black labs: Kate and Brock (the Wonderdog).
