Nothing like fresh mallard who haven’t been hunted. 5 note hen just as they go over and wings get put away and they bank hard right/left and feet down in decoys. Found a little hole that’s maybe 30 yards across and tucked down in trees. It’s gonna be close quarter action next weekend. But gosh I...

Went on my antlerless elk hunt this last weekend. It was a good time. Think I finished up the 3 days at 23 miles, crested 7 mountain tops all to have one run to me. Hunt should of been done in the first 3 hours. Got into elk almost immediately after we walked out of the truck. It was complete...

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here. Appreciate the community here, no chest pounding, everyone is supportive and helpful. Eric runs a real nice forum here. The wealth of knowledge that runs around here is one of the best. For that I’m thankful. My Thanksgiving to work in the hospital, so not...

With this UPS cargo plane crash, I got to thinking.... My first experience with a plane crash was in middle school when a friend of mine lost his father in a fedex cargo plane crash. I remember the devastation it caused him and his mom and we remained friends all the way through high school...

Invited to a little get together a few weeks back. The woman stopped to get some whiskey and coke for me as I like to sip it every so often at some get togethers (im really not a big drinker). Crown came out with some new flavors, and she knows I like coke zero. She asked if I wanted to try the...

Worked really hard to kill a few. Had some friends fly in to hunt with again. In all my years of duck hunting, never had to kill a rattler. Just speaks to how warm it is still unfortunately. Get setup, waiting for flights to start, and about 20 feet behind my buddies head where he laid, said he...

There is some true talent in this place. True workmanship in every facet on this forum. From decoys to boats (especially boats, SERIOUS talent) to Eric overhauling every piece of old machinery he gets his hands on. If there is one thing I love in life (besides the world of waterfowl) it is the...

Found it boys!

Its illegal, I know, but I cannot stand the cancer on these new diesels. My last truck took a dump, I love a new diesel, but its getting to the point im starting to question the gov't cancer enforced on these trucks. I am still fortunate to live in a place where registration does not require...

I know its a boat forum, but been seeing LOTS of these. I live fairly close to an AFB and was wondering why so many of these double rotary planes. Didnt realize these were the new latest and greatest. Pretty neat aircraft. The other day driving home, there was a convoy of like 6-7 flying in a...

Whos watching the masters this weekend? I picked the game back up last year after putting them away at 18 years old, with multiple scholarship offers, knowing I wanted to chase the adventures outdoors (mostly waterfowl) vs being on a golf course through my 20's. I never intended to ever pick...

Prodrive is damn close now. But a welded plate on the bottom of the boat for the cooling system?!?!?! UMMMM NOPE! Even if it was a small little box mounted in a storage hatch somewhere, that would be much more ideal than a plate welded on the bottom of the boat. Right mindset and I like the...

@RM Anderson your post about building the sled reminded me of this woolridge boat. Pretty freaking sweet, but not for the price point they want. I didnt want to take away from the other thread so I figured I would start this one. I used the same material when my fenderwell bunks fell off on my...

Ruh roh.... Jr. seems to be in a bit of trouble for not being able to identify birds. Which decoy maker is making the first to in honor of our Presidents son naive ways in Italy? Pretty cool looking bird. I have known these to be shot in texas (if I remember right). Or if anyone has already...

So decided I was going to try my hand at fiberglass. Made half a shell on two birds. I think it would work out fine, but I pulled them and tossed them. My shop is a decent size shop in the basement of my home. I had NO IDEA how bad the resin for fiberglass stunk. I rid of everything fiberglass...

Putting on a little scout, found a brewers up front and a band in the back. If you could only kill 1, which you picking? Sorry for poor quality pic, it was taken from a distance with my phone through binos. It’s a pretty good brewers.

Gave up a weekend of trigger pulling to pick up some birds from the taxi this weekend. Always a good day when hanging new birds in the duck room. Sorry for low light, it was 10 pm when I finally got home and hung them in the room. I just need to get a stud pintail done preening chest feathers...

Those that hunt your decoys, please post up pics, let’s show off them working decoys. Finally found some birds, was able to get a good hunt in. 30-40 mph winds back to the ramp made for a sketchy boat ride. At one point was just running with the bilge running. Probably the worst boat ride I’ve...

I made a comment last week about being TERRIBLE about pushing limits. Ive spent a lot of time in nature, and NEVER have I thought that I know it well enough to ever take it for granted. No matter what you do, when she wants to remind you of her presence, she will. We have had storms and some of...

I was a pubic hair away from owning a Weedys this morning. Got shammed hard. Reported on Ebay and we will see what happens to the seller, but either way, it wont be mine. It is a very obvious call, want someone to get it but at a fair price. It was obvious the guy had no idea what he had as he...
