Great job! I have said for many years that an aluminum built Barnegat Bay Sneakbox would be ideal. I've even contemplated having one built by someone knowledgeable in aluminum boat building.

Beautiful boat! Wish I had known it was almost in my backyard. Like so many other things, the timing sucks right now. On the real estate broker side of the coin I have most of my money invested in a home that we renovated and have on the market now. Of course it has to be the worst real estate...

I'm still trying to figure out how they got themselves in this predicament. Thankfully they were rescued by the Indiana DNR. https://fox59.com/indiana-news/duck-hunters-rescued-after-boat-freezes-in-indiana-river/

Thank you for sharing this article. A life well lived as a traditional duck hunter for sure. I couldn't help but wonder what stories those old decoys could tell if only they could talk. I'd love to know what the gun is that he's carrying.

Great story! Thanks for sharing.

Tony Homer had a 1991 TDB 14’ Classic Duck Boat for sale in Piqua, Ohio. I posted a link to it in this section. Fred

So I got to thinking about this and I was just wondering who hunts, or has hunted, waterfowl with a black powder shotgun? I have 2 double barrel black powder shotguns. A 12 gauge and a 10 gauge. I've been thinking about thinning the flock and just keeping the 10 gauge. A few years back I watched...

While it's not a duck hunting group, I do run a deer hunting group on Facebook that has over 85,000 members in it. Let me tell you what. It's a full time job keeping the spammers, women of the night, keyboard warriors, and political posts out of the group. You've never seen such a mess in all...

Carl, Thank you for the information. I didn't realize there was a 1 bird limit. I too have heard there are Redheads in the area. My last party boat fishing trip was a total disaster! I went on Hubbard's out of, I want to say, John's Pass. The briefing said the waves were 1'-2'. I thought to...

I'm going to be in Florida later this week for Thanksgiving with my children and grandchildren. I was wondering if we have any Florida duck hunters in the Tampa Bay area that I could possibly get in a hunt with? I'll be staying in Pinellas Park, Florida. Thanks so much, Fred

I think Steve has hit on a good point that I've thought for several years, especially when I see hunters pushing what I feel is the limit for various watercraft. The point being that not all watercraft are built or designed to be used in all bodies of water. There's a difference in hunting a...

There's just no way you can justify passing up such a great deal! Especially for a salt gun. :unsure:

Do a Google search on the 5 Gallon Bucket mouse trap. There are several videos on YouTube to build your own. If you're like me though it's oftentimes more cost effective and a time saver just to buy one and be done. Here's a link to one that Ace Hardware sells...

Well, I'll be 62 years old this coming January, God willing. I'm not retired from working or hunting; however, I'm thinking that come March 16, 2026, I'm going to hang up my gun belt and retire from the police department. I'll have 34 years of service. I think that's enough. Sadly, we just had a...
