Jimmy, Sam and Greg have found a successful way to utilize their farmland year 'round, especially during duck season.  Buckshot Duck Lodge provides quality waterfowl hunting experiences for all guests, and allows the owners to enjoy their favorite sport in the process.  Thus far, it has proved to be beneficial for all involved.

Owners Jimmy & Sherry Hackney have both been actively involved in the Gillett School and Community after they were married in 1972.  In that same year, Jimmy became head of Hackney Farms, maintaining the tradition.  In 1972 they had their first of three sons, Greg, also a CO-owner of Buckshot.  Chris was born in 1974 and Josh in 1979, both of whom work for Hackney Farms, as well as Buckshot Duck Lodge.  In 1986 a farming accident confined Jimmy to a wheelchair, but did not interrupt his farming duties or hunting opportunities.  He loves all types of outdoor activity, including hunting and fishing, and says that "You should always duck hunt on the 'Dark of the moon".  Sherry, aside from being a full time homemaker, cooks for Buckshot when she is not horse riding or taking care of all of her animals.  Both are excited about the newest family addition, their 1^st grandson Jack Hackney!
