Well the last day arrived, hunted bluebills (Broadbills) on Lake Okeechobee. 4 of use in a 17x50 gator trax boat. We took turns shooting for sport and drakes only. Of course last guy shot a hen. But what a great hunt. Right off the bat we were greeted by a yellow rat snake, I was happy it wasn't...

Dave, very gracious, and really appreciate it. However I'll hold off I would be losing sleep over getting it back to you. Just the way I am. Thanks.

I'm searching for a H weight mold, 16oz. If anyone is interested in selling one please let me know. Thanks

At first glance I was thinking mottled duck, but just a little far north.

Although a normal occurrence around here, these ducks are really building a giant size flock. They literally walk down the road like chickens, going from one bird feeder to the next. Nothing to see 150 in the yards. About mid January there will be thousands within a 1 mile radius. Not a easy...

Eric, it is very doable, ND has some good public land hunting. I would suggest a 14 aluminum and small out board to hunt. Most of the non residents just wade out and those sloughs get deep fast. Like I said earlier had some of my best hunts on public land. The picture I posted was public land...

Good morning, Eric. I don't have any problems with farmers because for 10 years I helped them with chores.i was always there to help them. But I must say there are some bad actors. In ND your allowed to shoot off the gravel roads. This past week I watched 4 non residents step out of there trucks...

Well, drove to ND for non resident opener, had 6 days of duck and goose. The hunting was great. I ended up selling my house in ND, this past summer to a friend so I have an open invitation anytime. Kind of miss it but on the good note bought a place in Steinhatchee, Fl., brought down my diver...

Takes a little work, but it's definitely doable. Last year ND went to electronically post land, just to let you know. Also just go to ND game and fish web site as far as licensees. WMAs and PLOTS has some good hunting, takes alot of scouting. Last year it seemed there was a lot of non-resident...

Rick L, thats the best method. Use it all the time.

A bunch of sick bastards...lol. this post brought back memories. I was hunting brant with a childhood friend, (we grew up together since 5 years old). when one came in and he shot it. So we retrieved the Brant and it was still alive, so I did the, hold the head swing the body ring the neck. Any...

Good buck, great shot placement.

Just got my goose mounts back and put them on a moose antler. Max of Mounting Memories did a great job. Guess I'll have to add a few more to them.
