Interesting. I had not considered the inflatables because I assumed they would be in the way of my shoulder for mounting the gun. My inflatable I have for fishing would be too wide at the shoulder to use.

Long story short I?ve been hunting bodies of water that I want to wear flotation on. I have bought and returned two different flotation coats because I found them bulky and cannot layer with, let alone shoulder a gun. I?ve been wearing my life vest while running and setting decoys but take it...

Over two years ago I shared that my best friend, Jon Yenulonis passed away. The following spring I lost my original duck partner, my father. It has taken a while to regain interest in waterfowling. I haven?t been carving or hunting. I have been out a few times recently and am starting to...

After taking a whole season off for a variety of reasons, I am trying to motivate myself for next year. I?ve decided that I want to collect an Eider. My duck hunting partner and I were supposed to go last December but he passed away before we could do it. I?ll likely be alone unless I find...

it is with great sadness that I wanted to share that my dear friend, and great contributor to this site lost his battle with Cancer Friday evening. He was like a father and a brother to me. I am broken. He had many friends and acquaintances on this forum. Please join me in praying for...

Not for me. Maybe the year of the Bufflehead. If I ever get to kill a can, I will name it the decade of the canvasback.

Yes!!,

Those are two dream birds for me. I would say it was the good and the good. I have been keeping up on the buffies on your behalf.

Regarding Decoys, with the exception of layout hunting for divers, and Teal, I tend to agree. I have killed far more birds over 3-5 decoys than 2 dozen in many marsh/ public land situations.

Steve, Jon didn't make it this year. We head back Monday. Tomorrow afternoon I am taking the family for a short hunt on the bayside, still hoping to score on a Canvasback. Here is a pick of our epic dipper shoot. If anyone knows Ryan Walker in Chincoteague, ask him sometime to tell the story...

The tides turned, and as Jon Yenni pointed it could only go up this week. Two days ago we saw hoards of buffleheads, bluebills, scoters, Ruddies, and a few cans. The stayed wide and went into a cove out on the great bay. We filled the morning with a few dippers and a hen bluebill, which was...

Cody, Mallards are incredibly common in Ohio, if you can say any duck is. I don't have the money needed to really hunt them right. Lol.

I am extemely jealous. That's a really nice bad of birds.

I call my lack of drakes the Curse of the Greenhead. I have been participating in the Feds wing collection program for a lot of years, and I have kept my summaries. I haven't killed a Greenhead in 14 years! I also seem to be able to kill a drake can, a drake redhead or drake greater...

It will go back to the shop, and hopefully they don't try to charge me. Idle was fine before I took it in. Doesn't do me any good this week, when we are out hunting out of state. My buddy has a reliable boat and motor and we took it out today. Mixed bag again. I continue to be impressed...

I think you are right, but I don't know how to fix it myself.

Day one on the Eastern shore of Va, and with mix results. Let's start with the positives. 1. I didn't miss a duck. 2. I finally got to shoot something over the decoys I laboriously made two years ago of the intended species. 3. I finally brought home birds in the newish boat and...

I am waiting with baited breath for the tutorial!

Steve, you make the hens look so simpl but so nice that I almost might give it a try. I have been intimidated due to skill and color blindness but you seem to have simple and elegant down pat!
