Thinking of adding a small kayak to the fleet for hunting on small water, retrieving and some fishing and had a couple of questions for any of you that might use one now. Do you prefer sit-in or sit-on styles? How long do you use? Thanks for the input Ron

Hey, have any of you Michigan guys ever hunted French Farm Lake up by Mackinaw City? My brother in law and I are looking for a place to try for a 2 or 3 day jaunt from the 1-94 corridor and it looked pretty interesting. Just wonder if it received a lot of pressure and if it is as ducky as it...

Dani Didn't you build a foam boat a few years back or is my old memory failing? If I'm right, what did you think of it? Did you get the plans online or build it from your own design? Thinking of building one for a small pond that I hunt since I'm getting a new hip and wading will be iffy this...

Just picked up 10 old foamers marked Decoys Unlimited, Clinton Iowa on the bottom. My thought is to burlap them and repaint as divers for my spread, but before I do I wanted to make sure they aren't anything special. I know that the company made decoy molds, but not if they did decoys for...

Well, after missing the first couple of weeks of the season here in Southern Michigan I am finally getting to go hunting. We are headed to Au Train lake in the UP tomorrow morning and I was just wondering if anyone had any info on what we might expect. Weather looks like it won't be too cold...

Hey guys, I have scheduled a trip to the Williamsburg area in October with my lovely wife and I was wondering if there is anything Duck related that I should try and see. We have a condo for a week and I'm thinking that I should be able to find something besides the usual tourist stuff to see...

Does anyone remember a company that made a folding jon boat. It was basicly 2 7' boats hinged together. You openned it and pinned the halves open to use it. I think it may have been called a Clam. I was explaining to a buddy the other night and he looked at me like I had 3 heads, but I know...

So I get a call from a friend that I haven't talked with in a few years and he wants to know if I could do him a favor and take some old guns off his hands that didn't sell at his moving sale. For Free. I said sure that I would take them and dispose of them for him. Turns out there was 2 shot...

So, I am thinking of trying my hand at carving some decoys this summer and I am getting around all of the things that I have collected over the years for this purpose and I have a issue. Back on the old forum, Lee Harker posted the plans for a home made vise that he assembled out of pipe and...

Hey guys, I just got interested in shooting handguns again and was looking to get a .22 pistol. I looked at the Sig Mosquito, the Browning Buckmark and the Ruger and wondered if anyone has a experience with any of them. The Sig is my first choice since it is similar in size and feel to their...

Any of you Michigan, Ohio, Indiana guys going to be at the Pointe for the waterfowl show next weekend? I am planning on being there Sunday just to get my blood going for the new season. Ron

Hey, any of you Michigan guys going to the Saginaw Bay Festival next weekend? I have been to Pte Moullee a few times but never up to this one. Is it worth the trip from Marshall?

Hey guys, I picked up an old hard plastic Black Duck decoy at a garage sale for $5 on Sunday. It has a movable head and it just caught my eye. It has a sliding lead weight on the keel and says Wingsetter Decoys, Jax Fla. I'm guessing it's from the late 60's, but was wondering if any of you...

Hey guys, My wifes uncle gave us a vintage decoy some years back and I have been trying to find out something about it. It is a Bluewing Teal hen that appears to be carved in the Illinois River style of carving. The body is 2 piece construction with a hollow center and the the bottom is carved...

Good Morning, A friend and I are in the planning stages of a fall hunt in the U.P. of Michigan and I seem to recall that someone here has or had a resort in the Au Train area. I had the info saved, but since I retired and actually have time to go I can't locate the information. Any assistance...

Can you post your directions for painting aluminum boats again? I had it saved, but now that I need it, I can't find it. Thanks
