This made my day! One of my closest colleague and friend had to clear out his Dad?s cottage this past year. His dad owned a blueprint shop, and in his collection at the cottage was a copy of the plans to make a BBSB on a Mylar base. I mentioned to my friend, that was a cool find. He?s into duck...

Happy New Year Ladies and Gentlemen, It?s been a while since I last posted, I?m still grassing that sneakbox- LOL. I actually haven?t hunted ducks this year, because I?m still a little uneasy on the water/mud where I normally go. Plus putting waders on is challenging. I did get out on land...

Boat is Aeromarine fiberglass hul. She's stable. I need a new spray shield but I can probably get by with one more season with what I have now.

I wish you guys a great season, I'm cutting it close but I'm grassing the MoMarch (done) and the Aeromarine motor boat. God willing I hope to never miss another duck season. Limb loss may have slowed me down, but I'll never give up! Thanks guys for all the wader ideas, I'm set. I use to...

Happy Independence Day!! For me it's glorious because I was able to get into my waders again! ---Well the hip boots, but they are lug soles. They way I overcame the issue was to put a plastic bag over the prosthetic, to reduce the friction. I took a few steps and I'm stoked!!! Getting them...

It's been awhile since I've posted on this board, too long. Been lurking and enjoying the posts of so many hunts, and projects. I still see a lot of founding members active, so many years, Eric did a great job with this page- even before Facebook was popular. I didn't hunt this season, well I...

Almost 22,000 unread posts, I'll never catch up. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and safe hunting season ( for those that are still hunting ) Here's one of Chance- 5 years old- now 6 how time flies!

Well folks I was spare this time, not without damage but I'm blessed with my health, family, food and shelter. I know a lot of those in the area weren't as fortunate. Finally got lights, Internet and cable, I had know idea what has been happening with the recovery and extent of damage...

Been awhile without posting, just lurking. No duck hunting so I have to live vicariously through all your hunting stories. My son has been keeping me busy chasing pheasants with our chessie, Chance. Hopefully if the duck gods let us, we will try for our first duck hunt this weekend. I...

I didn't want to hijack the thread about hunting in ND. So I started this one. Matt V. struck a cord with the comment of "guides locking out hunters." I agree with what he is saying, it seems tough for hunters to get started into hunting when all the land is locked up by leases. The options...

. A couple of years ago, I replaced my 2 stoke 9.9 with a 4 stroke 15 and felt the boat was sluggish. I thought it was the extra weight (on both me and the engine change) or because it was a 4 stroke. All season and even last season, I just couldn't get the boat to plane correctly. I...

I recieved this picture today from a friend who found this along a roadway. Look at what is clutched in the owl's talons. We see owl's on Long Island, but this was just a wild photo. Too bad he or she couldn't enjoy the last supper. -Jack

Hey Guys, Been some time since I posted but I'm still visiting. Got a new Mac so I'm testing things out now that the kids are letting me go on the computer. Here's a great appetizer, This was my second drake mallard of the first split of my season, it's been slow for me not because...

It was sunny today, while I walked the dog I took these shots. Sneaking up on a group, of about 50 Bluebills with the dog. They are a bit nervous, looking for a way out. Gone.... what a roar when they lift off.

I took an opportunity to hunt the north shore yesterday. Winds were more than I wshed for but my buddy and I toughed it out and were blessed with a few flights that made the guns roar. Goose hunting over water is tough hunting, the first pair that locked up into the spread was deceiving to...

It's been a little slow around my area so I purchased the F5 DVD from Habitat Flats (Thanks Ira) It was what I needed to get motivated. Watching that video made me feel like a lightweight. Inspired to hunt ducks again (no snow geese where I live) I recommend this video for those who think they...

I got to hunt 4 out of 5 days with the Classic Bomber Jacket. I mentioned that my first impression was that I felt a like a stuffed sausage but I did get use to the jacket. I'm 6' 2" 235 Lbs (on a good scale). I went out a couple of days with highs of 28 and flood tides, wading in a honey hole...

I've been waiting, like some of you, for the birds to show up but got tired of waiting and headed out. Prior to getting hammered with 2 feet of snow, I took an invite to hunt with a close friend out of his blind. It was cold, tide low, winds gusting and sunny skies. We had a great time catching...

registered members. Is this real??? If so congratulations for the mile stone. And if it's true then this is my first christmas greetings to 3000 cyber friends, Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year -Jack

I don't call much, but figure I'd give it a try. Lee Harker fund auction call was an opportunity to contribute and add another call to the collection (the kids love them) I took my son out for a couple of hours of midday duck hunting. He and I were testing out this call and what do you know...
