Phil Robertson Early Life

Phil Robertson was born on April 24, 1946, in Vivian, Louisiana, USA. He was born to a poor family. His father’s name was James Robertson, and his mother’s name was Meritt (née Hale).

As a result of the financial problem, they never went into town to buy food for themselves. Instead, they grew fruits and vegetables in their own garden and ate them. They also raised chickens, pigs, and other animals, which was the basis for their survival. Hunting was an integral part of the Robertson family. So, Phil also engaged himself in hunting animals like fish, deer, and squirrels to eat meat.

When you are with loved ones and a family to support you, no bad circumstances can make you unhappy. Money doesn’t buy happiness. Although the family lived in deplorable conditions, they were pleased. They lived in such a way as if they were in the 19th century.

He had all the potential to be a professional football player. Paul Harvey had approached him to professionally play for ‘Washington Redskins’. But, he rejected it as football was interfering with his passion for hunting. He loved hunting more than he loved football.
