Nick Brichacek



-Nick Brichacek
Nick Brichacek, 19, a Pro Staff member of Big Foot Decoys and Calef Calls has a passion for hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. Nick's dad introduced him to the sport of hunting when he was 6 years old. He has loved it ever since. Nick does most of his hunting at home on the Platte River chasing Mallards and Honkers. Also, Nick loves to hit the timber in the spring to chase turkeys.

His dad had also introduced him to calling at a young age. His dad bought him instructional videos to watch and learn how to call from. Nick competed in his first contest at the age of fourteen. He has placed in and won many junior calling contests in the Mid-west. This last year Nick was able to compete in Stuttgart Sanctioned contest. Nick won the 2005 Nebraska State Duck Calling contest to qualify him to compete in the World Duck Calling Contest in Stuttgart, AR.

Nick enjoys competing in contest, working shows, and doing seminars for Big Foot Decoys, gaining and sharing knowledge of waterfowl hunting with others. He is able to talk with and meet fellow waterfowlers form all over the U.S. and Canada. He does taxidermy work for Great Plains Taxidermy in Schuyler, NE.
