13,000 years ago some cavemen sat around a fire and speculated how this colder climate kept the wooly mammoths and mastodons south of them.

I am here and the Refuge and a few more state specific forums. Forums usually really die off Feb to Aug. There are a few good Facebook groups, some boat specific and some more regional duck hunting in general.

TDB isn't real dog friendly. No real flat surfaces for the dog to sit outside the cockpit, dog can't see over the blind in the cockpit and you will have to rig some type of ladder (probably need to drill holes in the boat). The Alaskan can use a standard hang on dog ladder and dog can usually...

Location?

I think there are plans in Zac Taylor's Successful Waterfowling book for a pond box like you are describing.

Love the idea but at nearly 6K by the time you ship it, not very cost effective.

I hunted ducks with one last Oct after open heart surgery in early Sept. Boss bismuth 5. It was Ok on woodies but not beyond 30 yards. Just not enough BBs in the pattern. If you have to use it spend the money on TSS 9. I used it this spring on turkey with TSS and drilled 2 toms at 35 yards.

What does it say on the title and/or registration? Looks homemade from some runabout hull. Been around duck boats a long time and never saw anything like that.

One year I had been shooting my bow for practice without the quiver. 1st day I climbed up in stand, screwed bow hanger in pulled bow up, hung it up, no quiver or arrows. Sat until it was light enough to see then climbed down and went home.

I hope you have alot of it cause they don't make it anymore.

The sub-gauges are in for a tough road ahead. With no more bismuth or tungsten, a decent load really does not exist. Boss is working on a solid copper, I hope they can do it. Others have tried copper and could not get it to hold pattern. Steel just doesn't have enough payload in the bigger shot...

I killed one in North Dakota 2 years ago. I made 2 decoys out of old super mag canada shells. Put pool noodles around the bottom to make them float, painted white with black bills. had 7 going up a big lake about 150 yard out, just did a kinda swan call with my mouth. They turned and came right in.

As low as possible, you have to be able to water swat.
