Yes. I've done both. I prefer using the dunking method. It seems to increase the durability of the bird and I like the texture of black cork in the finished bird rather than filling in the voids and sanding over.

Another option is using Titebond II or III thinned out with water in a 1:1 or 1:2 ratio of glue to water. Stir well and dunk the bird in the mix until bubbling stops. Allow several days to drip dry. 2 advantages with this method: it waterproofs the cork, secondly, acts as a binder for the...

Good morning all. Long time no post. My wife and I are interested in going to NOLA for a site seeing/eating tour. Can y'all give some recommendations? Thanks, Steve

Beautiful boat!! I'll bet with a 25 HP on that thing it would look like a bass boats on KY Lake with a 300 HP on it; the only thing in the water is the prop!!

Hi Eric, Thanks for sharing this. We were just in Manitoba the first week of October. I have been going to MB since 2007 minus 3 years because of COVID. I freelance and use a guide. Last time we were there, the land access was definitely becoming an issue. Private lands that were once easy...

Hey Scott!!! Holy Christmas!!! That is a blast from the past!! I still have those decoys in my spread when I chase mallards.

Hi Jim, I have been hunting with Kris Wujcik of Michitoba Outfitters out of Strathclair, Manitoba for over 10 years. He is a good friend and a fantastic outfitter. He offers traditional field hunting for mallards and Canadas. He is also going to start offering layout hunts for divers and...

Good morning Steve, A feather edge box would be awesome!! From those plans, could you scale it down to 6 feet? It would be very neat to have a box from plans dated 1880!! Let me know if this is something you would want to tackle. I appreciate it. Steve

I have an unusual request... I have a "man cave" where I display my collectible decoys, mounts, and prints. I am interested in a small scaled down replica of a Barnegat Bay Sneakbox to place on display. It needs to be 6 feet in length max to fit in the spot I have for it. Any builders...

Hi Phil. We will. Looking forward to getting back to the show.

I have one of Bob Hayden's boats in western Kentucky

Hi Greg, I sent you a message in Facebook messenger. Wanted to make sure you knew it wasn't spam or a hack. I am interested in talking with you about your build. Thanks, Steve

I hunt with MLB Super Mag. Excellent boat. I am 6'3" and am comfortable. They aren't in business any longer, but if you search around, you should be able to find a used one. Best, Steve

Done

Hi Rob, Great post and I'll add my $0.02. My wife and I have been contemplating this as well. I have never been to Montana, so I can't offer any input there. But over the past 10 years, I have spent quite a bit of time in North and South Dakota. You will have access to excellent waterfowl...
