Wisconsin Autoworker Experiences Missouri’s Premier Waterfowl Hunting on Brotherhood Outdoors TV

Spring Hill, Tenn. — Aaron Burns, a second-generation union autoworker from Footville, Wisconsin, heads to the heart of the Mississippi Flyway for epic waterfowl action when the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance’s Brotherhood Outdoors airs this week on the Sportsman Channel.

Mallards and teal are the main menu items when Burns, a member of United Auto Workers (UAW) Local 1268 and Team Leader at the Belvidere Auto Assembly Plant, hunts the marshes and flooded brush managed by Habitat Flats Waterfowl Lodge in Missouri’s prime duck country. Warm weather means a slow start for the hunter, but when the temperature falls on the second day, birds pile into the decoys and feathers fly.

“This is by far the best duck hunting I’ve ever experienced,” Burns said. “I mean, I saw more ducks on this hunt than any other time I’ve been hunting them.”

Burns is chairman of his local union’s Sportsmen’s Committee and organizes events and fundraisers for his fellow union members. Back home in Wisconsin, the Brotherhood Outdoors camera crew caught up with him and his union brothers during a charity pheasant hunt at a local hunt club where they raised money for the Rock County Cancer Coalition.

“As a committee, we bring our union brothers and sisters and their families together in the outdoors,” he said, “and every year, this hunt gets bigger, which means that every year we can help a couple more people.”
