The News Hound reported that Hunter Dan is 10 years old this month. You know Hunter Dan the American Sportsman action figure. He’s about eight inches tall and has a big job--promoting hunting to our future hunters. Dan even has a friend in the same way Ken has Barbie, Dan has Ann. But have you ever wondered why Dan doesn’t come in a pheasant hunter or grouse hunter or even a quail hunter? And what about woodcock hunter? Hunter Dan does come in Duck Hunter, Goose Hunter, and Turkey Hunter. Me thinks there’s something rotten in the state of Dan-mark? The Ruffed Grouse Society, Quail Unlimited, and Pheasants Forever should lobby the Creative Outdoor Products, Inc., which produces Hunter Dan, for an upland action figure. Perhaps to satisfy some purists, Dan could be attired in tweed breeks, brogues and cradling a hammer gun. If Upland Dan was fashioned after the lot of upland hunters I know, he would be shod in LL Bean boots, toting a Sear Roebuck Ted Williams Approved shotgun and wearing a blaze vest heavy with birds. Send an email to Hunter Dan sales@hunterdan.com and tell them Upland Feathers asked you to inquire about producing an upland hunter Dan.
