    Blackbellied Whistling Duck Season

    I saw pictures of some feeding on a grain pile in South Dakota. They are incredibly adaptable, ferocious parents (like geese) and can tolerate humans. I was attending an outdoor wedding in Louisiana at a historic plantation 10 years ago. There were nesting boxes setup back to back on...

    Saw this a few months back on the hunt quietly IG account....

    I'm curious, since I don't know what State you live, where did your State get the money to install irrigation, dredge and do work on lakes, refuges and WMA's?

    For those who don't / won't support Ducks Unlimited, Delta Waterfowl, Pheasants Forever or NWTF and actively hunt waterfowl, who do you support? Who do you support with your money to conserve habitat, lobby in DC for CRP, Farm Bill, WRP, to preserve the prairie pothole region, help fund...

    We've limited out on BBWD's on public water too.

    This Statisticians Take

    I'm adamantly opposed to prostituting waterfowl for profit. Slaughtering waterfowl for social media clicks and "likes", it's a shame.

    This Statisticians Take

    I have followed the ridiculous corn pond debate for a while. I was born ('66) and raised in MI and remember what winters were like as a kid, especially during the late 70's, so I understand weather has changed. I have lived in SC since 1987 and I've witnessed the waterfowl decline in SC in the...

    Filling the empty seat...

    Beautiful pup!!! Nothing better than the smell of puppy's breath! My chocolate will be 8 in February, man the pictures and videos I have of him are awesome to go back through and reminders of incredible hunts! Leaving tomorrow night for camp in S Louisiana, let the good times roll!

    Surface Drive vs Mud Motor

    Pods and a jet drive with a bow operated stick steer would be the ticket for rocky river.

    IN Reach or PLB

    I know this initially was a marine related post but when I hunt woodcock along river bottoms I don't have cell service. The "what if's" had me questioning what would I do in an emergency? My bride has no clue where I hunt woodcock and I don't tell my friends either. $10 is cheap insurance to...

    Again, I wouldn't be my life on this service but this might save someone's life one day on the open ocean or remote marsh. Of course I have an old Iphone12 so I don't have the satellite to mobile capability. LOL "T-Mobile has officially launched its T-Satellite service, a satellite-to-mobile...

    IN Reach or PLB

    A year ago I went offshore fishing with some buddies. We were 70-80 miles out and my phone was in "airplane mode" to save battery from constantly searching for towers or wifi. I turn off location services on my phone too. After I got home a buddy explained to me Iphones are always being...

    Blackbellied Whistling Duck Season

    I think the consensus was if BBWD's were in season during early teal, folks would focus on shooting teal and not BBWD's

    I hope Elon Musk improves the satellite phone. I'd be all over it. One of the camps had Starlink and we were all online with 5-6 phones and live streamed the LSU game. Regarding the price for a PLB or service, one must ask what's your life worth?
