I make my own using coated SS 1/16th cable and just hammer an egg weight on the end. I'll never use tanglefree or 400 # mono again. Of course in S Louisiana I think 32" is the longest line I have for my puddle ducks, early teal are 24" long, if that, so much vegetation to catch them on. lol

Incredible looking country and photos! I love seeing the Delta college program! I need to see if there is anything like that here in SC. I enjoy mentoring with out Take One Make One program for kids but these college kids need hunting exposure too.

I owned a 1644 GD 20 years ago. Killed a lot of ducks from it. Great boats but I can stand and shoot from a pirogue so stability wasn't an issue for me.

Welcome from SC. I'm originally from MI, born in Detroit, grew up downriver but had family in Milford, Grand Blanc, Petosky, Conway, Indian River....I was a lucky city kid who spent more time in the woods and on the water than most up that way.

I have a Carstens Pintail which isn't much different than a Mallard. Didn't hunt out of it last season but it's a great duck boat, just heavier than my Chapman pirogue, 100 lbs vs 50 lbs. It'll carry a ton of weight and is steady to shoot from. If you're having to carry or drag the boat far...

Roger that. I only have one 556/223 and I'm a novice at that. I'm clueless about the 300 blackout.

I'm no rifleman but how does a 308 casing fit into a 223 chamber?

It definitely seems like we keep moving the goalpost. Many hunters that are having dismal duck hunting seem to be begging for a reduction in season days and bag limits yet a "new study" indicates shooting 3 pintails won't harm the population. I know in S. Louisiana we quite possibly could...

Avian flu would kill the eagles that eat infected ducks too right?

Rarely do I shoot wood ducks since I've started working duck nesting boxes many years ago. I do find joy in the thought that some youngster might one day be pulling the trigger on his/her first duck that was hatched from one of my duck boxes. Great work Ron! Please take lots of pictures of...

LEM hands down. My son got lucky and found a #12 LEM for $200 on FB marketplace. MEAT isn't the same quality as LEM. I use a #12 LEM and it'll go through 25lbs of meat in minutes.

Croc is the one man boat. Genius Scan app works like a champ to make pdf files.

I built one over 20 years ago. Can't find the plans but I'm sure they're filed away somewhere. In the meantime you might try this fella https://www.duckworksmagazine.com/02/projects/gator/index.htm
