It’s a duck snub!

Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson skipped out of Barbara Walters' While the rest of the famed Louisiana natives — and A&E ratings powerhouses — showed up to last month’s taping, the 67-year-old founder of Duck Commander opted to go hunting instead, much to the veteran journalist’s chagrin.

For the first time in the annual show’s history, we can reveal, 84-year-old Walters will joke on-air that she’d "never been superseded by a duck before."

The ABC newswoman even confronted Phil’s wife, Miss Kay, who admitted her husband would rather shoot ducks than do the interview!

“Between November and January, I told him I didn’t ever plan to die then, because he may not be at my funeral,” Kay jested during the interview, which is set to air Wednesday.

Walters chuckled: “Tell him I miss him.”

Phil’s family went on to explain that this isn’t the first time he has skipped a major event!
