    20 gauge duck loads

    Shooting 20 for everything for over 15 years now...I started shooting a 11-87 and have moved on to a A400. In either case I still shoot both guns throughout season but my A400 is shot the most. I have tried Kicks, Patternmaster and Carlson Choke tubes in both guns and have spent in upwards of...

    A soggy opener in Atikokan

    Well it has been quite the drive from several places...Started going in college in the mid 90s from Fort Wayne, about 16 hours. Then later from Paducah, Ky 17 hours. The last drive I made was from Houston, Tx which took about 24 hours. Still after about 12 trips into the park it is well...

    Canoe/Kayak/Ducker packing for river trip

    Lot of people have summed up the trip with a canoe. Would definitely recommend a canoe. Spent many of years (20+) trekking the Provincial parks in Ontario via a canoe. Portage potential as well as the possibility of using a tarp as a tent can come in handy as well which reduces having to...

    A Huff and Puff, Sweat and wonder why I got up in the first place season to remember...

    Yes Carl, Oil industry fell off when the Barrel Price of Oil dropped from $108 to $26 a barrel. In subsea the money is made at $40 and above. The company dropped off 10000s worldwide in 2015-2016. Found a job in North Carolina that was a dead end...I was so happy to leave that place in about...

    New Boat Rig

    Nice rig... An idea would be to get some adhesive backed square cable tie mounts and tie wrap a fishing net to the boat. You can buy the cable tie mounts in black. Then take an Authentic used fishing net in black or brown which you can find online if you type "Authentic Used Fishing Net". My...

    The last hunt wasn't a bust, finally...Setup this Sunday morning with a small spread of goose decoys. Since moving back home to the Commonwealth of Kentucky though now in the central part of the state I have found that waterfowl hunting is extremely tough around Bardstown, KY. Compound the...

    Sealing Burlapped Decoys

    Michael, I made about 4 dozen full bodies in a mix of Teal and Pintails about 6 years ago to hunt Lissie, Tx rice fields. They were all full foam decoys including the heads. I stuck several skewers in each bill all the way through the back of the head. All decoys were covered in the burlap...

    Backwater GX 200 silencer

    Look up GX200 Go Kart Mods...Most of the mud motor mods come from this sector of motor modifications. Any of those sights will have everything from changing the cranks, exhaust, air intake, and fuel carb intake. As for silencing or lowering the noise of the exhaust I can recommend using the...

    Lightweight gas 20 gauges...

    Highly recommend the A400 20...been shooting one since they came out on the market....skeet, trap, geese, cranes, ducks, turkeys, and all upland when I get a chance...The right ammo produces clean kills with little to no recoil...Bought another case of Hevi X to try this year on geese and ducks...

    North Dakota???

    My recommendation is to go further north into Manitoba. Liberal limits on ducks and geese. Kris Wujyk, Mitchitoba Outfitting. Have hunted multiple times with Kris. Great hunting and now has a nice lodge to stay. First two weeks of October can have fast hunts. You spend more time picking up...
