Tough for me to release much water right now unfortunately as the Army Corp is releasing lots of water from the Lake trying to get it down to summer pool stage(severe floods this spring) and thus keeping the river at bank full here.

Early October I will begin brushing up the skid blinds and layout boat blinds. Most likely wont get water until early December as have to rely on either Mother Nature or the Army Corp of Engineers to release water. We dont use a permanent spread as hunt out of the layout boats most of the time.

Well its that time of year for me to begin prepping my moist soil marsh for the upcoming season. Time to start the slow drawn down of the water, time to get the tractor and bush hog out of storage, time to cut up and remove all the trees which either blew over or floated into the marsh, time to...

Good day yesterday--survived my 30th tax season and my new Browning A5 20 gauge(which I ordered Jan 2024) finally came in!! Looking forward to a lot less work hours and a lot more play hours the rest of 2025. Going to have lots of clean up at my duck land once the river finally get back...

Maybe this is just a sign that I should retire? Man that would be fabulous! Unfortunately probably not going to happen in the near future.

Going to try an active campaign of Tylenol and ice packs(morning before work, lunchtime, and bedtime) on the swelling this week. Hopefully this with the rash starting to slowly go away will find some relief!!! Yes definitely don't want anyone to get this--It is not fun. To make this...

Woke up last Sunday morning with shingles so have had the shingles "belt" rash for just over a week now. The rash itself hasn't been very painful(very blessed from horror stories I have heard), but the swelling on my side is extremely uncomfortable and makes it difficult to breathe and sleep...

Does anyone have any experience with the mud skipper surface drive feather lite in a 6.5hp?

Why is it subject to be deleted instead of simply saying "if you ignore this rule, your account WILL BE deleted? A little harsh, yes, but effective.

3 hunts into our season and not a shot fired and now froze over. However nice warmup starting this weekend should help unlock my most of my water by midweek next week.
