Bush shot trap with and hunted each year with Jimmy Robinson at the Duck Camp on the Delta Marsh and other fine waterfowling destinations for over 50 years. He was a National Trustee of Ducks Unlimited for many years and a long time member of the Outdoor Writers Association. Jimmy Robinson was one of the world’s most famous hunting writers and sportsmen editor for Sports Afield magazine and the hunting partner of some of the biggest names in entertainment politics and business. He was also a close friend of Ernest and Mary Hemingway and hunted with Hemingway's son Pat. Robinson was one of the original members of Ducks Unlimited a waterfowl conservation organization. Jimmy joined the Amateur Trapshooting Association as a statistician in 1922 an association that he maintained for the next fifty years. In 1926 he began writing for Sports Afield magazine with his first article about his good friend Annie Oakley. Renowned as a hunter fisherman and conservationist his writing career spanned 45 years. He wrote fourteen books on shooting and hunting. Each year since 1935 his duck survey of Western Canada was awaited eagerly by hundreds of newspapers all over North America. His contributions in building Ducks Unlimited were so great that they named him an honorary trustee in 1970 along with Bing Crosby and Andrew Mellon. Several times he tried to retire but could not — his editors would not accept his resignation and no one could replace him. Sometimes called the “Sportsman of the Century” Jimmy is the only man inducted into five Halls of Fame: Fishing Minnesota Skeet Trapshooting and Waterfowl. Jimmy founded his first lodge at Delta Marsh in 1935 in a farmhouse near Portage Creek. Its more luxurious successor dubbed the “Sports Afield Lodge” in honor of Jimmy’s long-time employer was built in 1958 on the east side of the marsh south of St. Ambroise. The “Sports Afield Duck Club” had numerous well-heeled members from a broad cross section of the American business community. Les Kouba 1917-1998 was Internationally known as one of the world’s foremost master painters of wildlife. He is recognized as the founder of the wildlife art revival in the 1970s and as such inspired many other wildlife artists. His deep understanding of wildlife stems from growing up on a Minnesota farm which afforded him ample opportunity to observe and study wildlife in their natural habitat. Kouba said “Because I actually hunted and fished I developed an early understanding of all of the background skills necessary for my future career as a wildlife artist.” Kouba gained fame as the painter of over 20 Conservation Stamps including two Federal Duck Stamps 1958 and 1967 as winner of the 1982 Wildlife Heritage Foundation Artist of The Year and for his Canadian Ducks Unlimited 50 Year Commemorative Stamp. “Ducks Unlimited is the world’s largest and most effective private waterfowl and wetlands conservation organization. In no small way we are able to say that because of Les Kouba and his art. He raised many millions of dollars for DU and played an integral role in our growth. His 1976 DU print Bluebills in Lifting Fog established a new record for fundraising. Because his images of waterfowl and habitat are so authentic they instantly capture the atmosphere of what Ducks Unlimited is all about.” American Wildlife Art Galleries hardcover
