With Bailey passing away last August, our house seemed pretty quiet last fall. Although she hadn't been hunting the past 3 years, Bailey always followed me to the door and whined when I snuck out in the morning to go hunting, and was there to go crazy when we got home. Our other dog, Kayla, is...

It's been a couple of weeks now, so the sting isn't quite as intense, but I still hear her bark when I pull into the driveway and expect to stumble over her in the early morning darkness. She was way more talented as a retriever than I was as a trainer, but somehow we managed to make that work...

I had one of my best hunts of the season yesterday. With all of our early ice, searching for new spots led me to a spot that was about a mile from the road that ducks were using. That meant dragging the boat that far so I could carry all of my gear in it. I had bought a boat cart a few...

Have any of you used something like this? We have a couple of big dogs, and a small SUV that we typically use when travelling, so when we're hauling stuff, it's always an adventure getting everything to fit in the back of the vehicle, leave room for the dogs and not have it all topple over at...

I'll be away from the computer for a few days and wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas! Scott

I know there are several folks around here that know a lot more about cars than I ever will. I need a reality check on the diagnosis by the local transmission shop. I have an '06 Escape with 150,000 miles on it. Saturday night, we were about 70 miles from home when the check engine light...

The other thread about books got me thinking about books I've read in the past about outdoor adventure, and I remembered one that I'd read a LONG time back but I can't remember the title. I was hoping someone around here might know the book and point me in the right direction. It was about...

I didn't want to deal with the opening weekend crowds on the public land here in KS, and wanted to hunt with my dad for the opener, so I headed back to Missouri for the weekend. Our little timber hole usually is good for a few wood ducks this time of year and if you're lucky you might get a...

Not that I post a lot, but I do talk with a few of you around here so I thought I'd post up that we've finally made it and have internet up and running here in Manhattan. It's been a pretty hectic couple of weeks with moving, refinishing floors, fixing stuff around the new house. I'm actually...

OK, I'm looking at a new boat for next year and am looking for input from everyone here. Here are the areas where I would plan to use this boat: 1) The Missouri River in NW and Central Missouri. This is a fairly swift river, with a good navigation channel and numerous sand bars for hunting...

I need your address!!! Give me a call on my cell phone as I'm not going to be around a computer the next 48 hours. I have a decoy to ship your way! (660)373-1554 Scott

Does anybody have a recommendation for a place to get this done? My old Beretta has finally got enough scuffs from dogs and boats that I'm looking at ways to refinish it. Any help would be appreciated. Scott

Bailey and I finally got the chance to get out today here in The AR/OK area. Schedule/weather/good hunting in Missouri have kept me from trying any of the local spots up until now. This last push of weather seems to have helped with the duck numbers. I hiked into a spot I'd scouted out this...

Eric, it's been said many times, but thanks for everything you've done over the years for this site. I can't believe it was 8 years ago that I first saw pictures of the Scaup on here! You all did a great job with this package. Congrats on a job well done. Scott
