Dani, check out the Froglegs on the Dan?s Hunting Gear website. You can custom order waterproof chaps be sewn and sealed to Muck Boots or Lacrosse. The chaps comes with snaps that allow you to wear them down at the top of the boot.

Thanks Roy and Larry for the advice. I?ll post an ?after? picture when everything is done.

I'm the proud new owner of a 1974 Grumman Sportboat. It's in excellent condition except for some heavy oxidation. I need to remove the oxidation so I can paint the boat for this coming season. Does anyone have experience using Alumiprep 33 to remove oxidation? I'm curious how messy of a...

Thanks everyone for the posts. In answer to your question Eric, yes this is a new place to me, so I cannot say whether the woolgrass is choking out other, more beneficial species. My real surprise in researching woolgrass is that the internet always says woolgrass is eaten by waterfowl, yet...

If in fact this is woolgrass, as you can see from the pictures it hangs over the edges of the marsh and drops seeds into the water. After heavy rains, almost the entire marsh can be under water. In the drier areas, this stuff can be 6 feet tall and very thick. If it is not a desirable...

Hello - We have a marsh that has a dense colony (maybe even overrun) of woolgrass (scirpus cyperinus). I have read online that ducks and geese eat the seeds and foliage. However, I think if this is true in a material way, woolgrass would be frequently discussed in conjunction with common moist...

Craig, Would you mind telling us what app or software you used to convert the photo to a "painting"? It's really cool. Great pictures and glad to see you guys are having some success. Hopefully they will make it down this way.

As Joe said, make sure you go north to Corolla to visit the Whalehead Hunt Club and the waterfowl/decoy museum just north of the Hunt Club. Also, on your way to Whalehead you can check out the Pine Island Audubon Sanctuary. Pine Island was one of the historic hunt clubs on the Outer Banks...

Well I finally got back the band certificate. Turns out I was right all along and it was a double crested cormorant. It was banded in July 2014 in Westport, NY. Here is the website that led me astray on my pacific Brant hunt! http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bbl/homepage/blbrprot.cfm Oh well.

Merry Christmas everyone. I'm a frequent reader but infrequent poster. I am wondering if anyone knows whether Pacific Brant frequently end up on the East Coast. Recently while hunting I found a very decomposed bird body with two leg bands. One was a standard federal leg band and the other...

My wife deserves credit for the picture. She took it and told me that I needed to post it on Duckboats. As if I needed more justification for being on the site...

I guess this is what happens when the boy's can't find any available hens (for those that do not know, VA ABC is our state liquor store).

I finally got on a waterfowl lease (YEA!), which is not easy around here. There just are not that many opportunities. However, between now and the 2013/2014 season I need to accumulate a rig of field decoys so that I can make use of the pit blinds and not be relegated to the river all of the...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I will look in to them.

My wife's family is from up-state New York and is having a family reunion in the Lake George area this summer. I am not sure where we are staying ,but we may take advantage of a free place around Killington, VT, about 1.5 hours from Lake George. Anything ducky or especially interesting to see...
