Accokeek, MD – Benelli, a world leader in premium shotguns and rifles, in partnership with Banded, recently released “In Our Blood,” a short film highlighting the passion and dedication of the guides at Louisiana’s Honey Brake lodge.
Before dawn each morning during duck season, the guides are hard at work preparing decoy spreads, readying boats, feeding eager Labrador retrievers, and scouting the best locations for their hunting clients based on the migration and weather. The guides’ deep knowledge of the land, waterways, and waterfowl in the region, paired with the highest quality gear from Benelli, ensures hunters have an exceptional experience pursuing mallards, teal, wood ducks and other species.
“To be a guide, it has to be in your blood,” Jared Mophett, head guide at Honey Brake, explained. “There’s a lot of time, effort and passion that goes into making sure our hunters go home with memories that will last forever.”
The film provides a behind-the-scenes look at a year in the life of a waterfowl hunting guide and underscores Benelli’s brand positioning of passion, precision, and performance. Witness the rewards of early mornings on the water as guides call in ducks to perfectly placed decoy spreads, bagging their limits.
“‘In Our Blood’ embodies the heart and soul of duck hunting and what it means to be a guide,” said Tim Joseph, VP of Marketing for Benelli. “We wanted to capture the dedication of these individuals and share the experience of being on the water as the sun rises, waiting for that first flock to come into range. It showcases the passion for our sport and brand that we share with guides, outfitters, and hunters across the world.”
