I laugh out loud at the people point to Jase, Willie,and Jep being pictured without beards as proof Duck Dynasty is fake and that they grew the beards for Duck Dynasty. What these idiots fail to realize is there are almost two decades worth of Duck Commander videos that show each and every one of them bearded because beards are great camo for hunting. In the earlier years of their career they, with the exception of Phil, would shave in the offseason and grow the beards out for hunting season.
Here's a Duck Commander clip from 2007, or five years before Duck Dynasty aired it's first episode. Guess what.....they have the beards.
The moronic people out there think that the Robertsons need Duck Dynasty when the facts are the money they make off the TV series, while substantial, pale in comparison to what they were already making off the Duck Commander and Buck Commander calls, videos, and merchandise. Thy were all highly successful millionaires and celebrities long before A&E approached them about creating the Duck Dynasty franchise.
