Our Crew

Scott Porman, a.k.a. ScottieP  Owner
Honestly, where do I start?  It's been a whirlwind since we have started our business, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.  I have always wanted to own my own business and what a better way to start then with your own hobbies-----dog training and waterfowl hunting.  I started waterfowl hunting a little over 10  years ago, here in Lancaster County, where I have lived for most of my life.   I am career firefighter in Frederick, Maryland and former Fire Chief of Rohrerstown Volunteer Fire Company, PA.    I'm a graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology with a degree in Business Management and Emergency Management.  In my spare time, which is very far and few between, I enjoy spending as much time with my wife, Nadine and my daughters, Ella and Alivia.  Our family includes Abby, 8yr old Yellow Lab, a.k.a. "daddy's girl" and Bosco, 4yr old Yellow Lab and their soon to be lab sibling in August 2010.  Otherwise, let's go Offshore fishing for Tuna or Marlin!!  I don't mind fishing for Wahoo or Sailfish when I'm in Florida or even Inshore for Stripers in Maryland and Delaware.    Some of my favorite places to Waterfowl Hunt are in Canada, Maryland and Delaware.   I am a member of Ducks Unlimited, Delta Waterfowl and Union Sportsman's Alliance.   We couldn't have started this store without the support of all of our friends and family......but most of all our customers!! I hope you will take the opportunity to get to know each and every one of us and become a part of the Waterfowlers family , if you haven't already.   We are here to help you with all of your hunting needs and will do everything we can to make your waterfowling experience the best it can be!

Jeff Riebling  Owner
I began waterfowl hunting in 1993 at the age of 28.  I joined a local NAHRA affiliated retriever club (Northern Piedmont) and through the group began a passion for waterfowl.  I always had an interest in waterfowl, but since my father didn't hunt waterfowl, I never pursued it.  I currently reside in Thomasville, PA with my wife, Cheryl, and children, Kyle and Faith. In my spare time I enjoy working out, and dabble in decoy carving. I currently have 3 labs.  Kali is an 9 year old chocolate female.  She was purchased from a friend of mine, Trish Jagoda, of Silverbrook Kennels in Virginia.  Kali has attained several hunt test titles in her career.  She is an AKC Master Hunter, NAHRA Grand Master Hunter Champion (1,000 point dog) and has passed both RAW events she has entered.  She has the title of Hunting Retriever Champion in the UKC test circuit.  In addition, Kali has twice been a finalist in the Maryland Gun Dog Championship.  She accompanied me to Saskatchewan in 2008 for an awesome waterfowl hunt, picking up over 150 birds in 4 days. Tank is a son of Kali.  He is a 4 year old black lab.  Tank is a Grand Master Hunter in the NAHRA program.  He has over 400 points accumulated currently heading towards his 1,000.  Tank has also been a finalist in the Maryland Gun Dog Championship.  Patch is also a son of Kali and Tank's brother.  Patch is a 4 year old chocolate lab.  He has earned his NAHRA Master Hunter title and is currently moving closer to his Grand Master Hunter title.  All 3 dogs enjoy upland as well as waterfowl hunting.  I have taken waterfowl hunting trips to Canada, Virginia, & Maryland's Eastern Shore.  This coming January I will be headed to Texas for a duck hunting trip on the Gulf Coast.  By far, the Saskatchewan trip has been my favorite to date.  My waterfowl hunting career began in the fields of Adams and York County in Pennsylvania pursuing Canada geese.  I am currently a member of the following organizations: Union Sportsmen of North America, Ducks Unlimited, Delta Waterfowlers, Susquehanna Waterfowlers Association, West Manchester Fish and Game Association, North American Hunting Retriever Association, & Northern Piedmont Retriever Club.  I have been past President and a Board Member of Northern Piedmont.  And now I am an owner of Waterfowlers Inc.......What a journey!!

Jayson Wilt 

I have been waterfowling since the age of 10. My waterfowling experiences started out on the Eastern shore of Maryland near the town of Galena and on the Susquehanna River near my home in Duncannon Pennsylvania. Now 25 years later waterfowling has become my true passion in life. And for me the season never ends. I start each year in September pursuing resident Canada Geese and finish in late January pursing all species of waterfowl along the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The months in between are spent in my home state of Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey. During this time I spend nearly everyday in the field, marsh or on the water. There are truly no days off for me. The months of February thru August I find myself engaged in numerous waterfowl activities from contest calling to conservation work through the Susquehanna River Waterfowlers Association, including constructing nesting habitat, youth education, and banding  projects, and of course chasing turkeys in the spring mountains of Perry County PA. Along with that I am currently a member of the Foiles Migrators GoldStaff, Hevi-shot Pro-Staff, Big Foot Decoy Pro Staff and Rigem Right Pro-Staff and have a schedule of in store seminars and calling clinics. I have been equally blessed with a loving family who supports my busy schedule and waterfowl lifestyle.

Andy Snyder  Pro-Staffer
For Andy Snyder, waterfowl hunting isn't so much about the fowl, but the water. The York County native is equally at home on the water as he is on land. He should be. As a seasoned captain and fishing guide, Snyder often spends more than 150 days on the water each year.  He grew up fishing the salty water of the Mid-Atlantic coast and spent time as one of the region's youngest charter captains. In 2007, his adventurous spirit took him to the frigid waters of Alaska, where he spent two seasons at a remote lodge, catching giant halibut and salmon in the salt and flying to isolated lakes for trout, arctic char and even more salmon.  Now that he is home on the East Coast, the author and columnist has refueled his passion for hunting, spending nearly three dozen days afield during the past season. Waterfowl hunting offers the perfect mix of water and gunpowder to keep Snyder's addiction at bay. If you need advice on boats, gear or local waterways, Snyder is your go-to guy.  

Zach Altland  Pro-Staffer 

Most hunters can only dream of spending as much time in a blind as Lancaster native Zach Altland does. This seasoned waterfowler spends over a hundred days each year surrounded by decoys and his trusty chocolate lab, Saige, in search of geese and ducks.  While his favorite spot to layout his spread is a stubble-cut corn field, the seasoned hunter, with over a decade of experience under his belt is equally at home hunting out of his kayak.   After a cousin was tragically killed in a waterfowling incident on the Chesapeake Bay, Altland dedicated his hunting career to the fallen family member. It has been a magical ride ever since, with countless birds falling prey to his taunting spread each year. Most never get the chance to leave.   But the sportsmen's drive runs deep in Altland. He is not just a waterfowling expert. This guy can fish, too. He proved his talent as a Junior Pro Bass Fisherman. If you need to know where the birds are flying, how they're decoying or even if the fish are biting, this talented outdoorsman is your man.

Brian Kendall  Pro-Staffer
Brian has hunting in his blood.  He was born into a 4^th generation of running hounds and hunting since the age of 12, currently running his own business of hunting coons with walker coonhounds.   His hunting began here in Pennsylvania and has included experiences with hunting bear with hounds and waterfowl guiding.  His biggest senses of hunting accomplishments are guiding hunters, along with introducing youth to waterfowl hunting.  Brian currently resides in Carlisle, PA.  When he isn't hunting, he enjoys spending time with his son, Dustin, watching him compete in the AMA Pro Motorcross Series.  Brian's waterfowl hunting has taken him to New York, West Virginia and his favorite spot, Maryland.   If you ask him, he will be sure to tell you that any waterfowl day in the field , he can write off as a good day in the field!!!  In addition to Brian's walker coonhounds, he also hunts with Goose, a yellow lab.  Brian is a member of NRA, Ducks Unlimited, SRWA, Mount Holly Fish & Game, and Professional Kennel Club. 

Andrew Mercer  Pro-Staffer
Hunting has always piqued Andrew's curiosity, but he was never exposed to it growing up.  When he found out that he was going to have his first son, now 2, Andrew decided to take the "plunge" and attempt, as an adult, to learn waterfowling.   Andrew currently resides in Lititz, PA with his wonderful and supportive wife and son.   Andrew's family also includes his 2 teenage girls, who reside in AZ, but love to come back east and check on dad's new hunting skills!!  Although Andrew is new to waterfowl hunting, he has already had the opportunity to hunt waterfowl in Maryland and Northern California.   In his spare time, Andrew works hard to keep his yellow lab, Drake, up-to-speed with his hunting skills and training through both the Waterfowlers Dog Training Division and Delta Dogs.  Andrew is a member of Ducks Unlimited, NRA and he is both a committee member and secretary for the Lancaster Chapter of Delta Waterfowl.
