When I hunted down around Morgan City LA the locals called these two peerows [ pirogue] and the jonboat type a Bateau.

Thats what I was thinking too.

Yes Sir, I would like to get it. Let me know how you want to do it. thanks

Do you still have the book? Been looking for one. Thanks

Your boat and motor look good. Those ducks did not have chance. That is a good picture! Steve were you shooting a model 12 in those days? My first decoy bag was also burlap bags. And they do make a good engine cover, that...

I still have my old Herter's model duck goose boat I bought back in 1968. Never could bring myself to sell it. Also still have several dozen Herter's decoys I use occasionally. I was sorry to see them go under/sell out. It was like an end of an era. 

Well, it does look like it has been around the block a time or two. Nice find. Maybe your duck season will end up with a silver lining to it. I hope so for you.

Yes, based on the weather, heat and all I can understand that. I never thought about the fly-fishing use but your right. It is wide open, stable and low sided.

I just got a used duck boat kind of unlike anything I have had before. Was wondering if any of you may have had one or know someone who did? The Osage Vantage is 14' long and 5' across the bottom. It's pretty wide and stable no doubt. It is made of aluminum and riveted together. The aluminum is...

Well, I too would say you must put family first, as It sounds like you are Derek. Yes, there is a cost, but believe me when I say you will be glad you did!! I really like [almost love] my 10' Hellbender boat a lot. I have had it now...

Mark thanks for the tip. I am sure I will need that info one day too. Sorry for all your hassle but, I was thinking about how something like that could be much worse than it was.

Very Nice gun Eric! I too love doubles and you have a very nice one now. I have a Field grd LC Smith ss 16 ga with 26 " barrels, choked imp cy and mod, made in the 1930 's and simply love it. They are very well-made shotguns.

That is the same load I used for many years in my 50 cal CVA Mountain rifle with 1-66 twist, just for round balls. It was deadly out to 80 yards and accounted for well over 50 deer until the barrel finally was shot out. Black powder started getting harder and harder to find so I had to switch to...

Brad, If they will still hold air and do not have dry rot you may be able to salvage them. Some of mine were somewhat hard but seemed to soften up with use and handling. Small leaks can be fixed with your favorite rubber patch. I used magic patch and it is sticking good to them. Once I got...

Ready to hunt.

Well it turns out the decoys leaks were not in the valves. I am glad because I guess nobody knows how to fix them either. I found some pin holes in the keels that slowly leak down and one had a pin hole in the beak. It is amazing to me how tough these old decoys are. I am guessing they have to...

I obtained a few old Victor D 100 rubber decoys. I am wanting to paint them and use them this duck season but I noticed several leak air around the values. Some worse than others. My question is does anyone have any experience fixing this type of decoy/valve. I believe they are quite old, maybe...

When I am picking up after a hunt, I generally wrap all the single 72's in the figure eight, around tail and neck, like your picture. Most of my 72's are on long lines of about 12 each. These I carry in single slotted bags. They are a lot easier to handle that way, at least for me. Then after...
