    Indiana Sandhill Crane Survey

    That was the only negative I saw online, it sounded like, regardless of a lifetime license, you might have to pay for a permit. The survey didn't address what the process would be if you had a lifetime license. The Facebook discussions were all speculation regarding this situation. I think...

    Indiana Sandhill Crane Survey

    Did any of our Indiana members get a survey about possibly purchasing a Sandhill Crane permit? No season date projections were proposed; just a couple of hypothetical options. Should we get a season, at what price point would you be willing to purchase a permit? Random draw for permits. The...

    Avian Flu?

    We have seen several hundred Sandhill Cranes at our club and around the adjacent Kankakee Fish & Wildlife Area, here in in northern Indiana. Talking with the FWA property manager they have found ducks and geese as well.

    NDR: Cleaning Fish

    Carl, I solved this issue by cleaning fish with my wrong-handed cousin and me being right-handed. We each fillet the opposite side of each fish and it goes pretty quickly. Now the downside is we don't get to fish together very often, but when we do all the fillets look fantastic!! lol

    Pouring Decoy Anchors

    As far as mold release, I've used a product called Frankford Arsenal Drop Out. Do it mold sells it, as does Amazon, this helps considerably with "L or J" weights. I've poured my share of lead like everyone else here, I preheat the aluminum molds, usually just set on top of the pot while...

    November Workbench

    Eric, I think it was Cajun Duck Supply. I was going to buy a set, but then realized I had everything at the house. Originally I made a set out of 300# mono but they curled, I didn't know about the boiling water under tension trick.

    November Workbench

    Eric, I made some totes as well, as the big leather drops that came with the tote just added too much bulk. I used the same black TexasRig/ Decoy line crimps. I did drill one side out larger so the coated cable could slide a little more. I might have to make some more as I could almost do...

    My new boat blind

    Blind grass is good stuff and nearly indestructible, we used it on some of our pits last season. We'll see how it held up over the season shortly. I would suggest trimming the ends near your openings as we had one guy poke his eye with a blade that hung over the pit open, could be an issue for...

    Waders - The usual question

    like most I've run the gamut on waders, Cabela's, LaCrosse, Drake, Banded. Banded were my last pair, the boots showed some cracking at the end of last season. I purchased a pair of Avery Heritage 3.0's for this season. I know everybody thinks the worst of Banded, but I got I think almost 5...
