Nicely done, Brad! Looking forward to seeing the rig pictures

B. Brown - Now THAT is a push pole. Nice rig!

Greg - Thanks for sharing the pictures of the Miles BBSB. I'll always remember seeing those in Steve's garage. I hope to make one off of similar lines one day and hunt it in the areas you mentioned (I'm also in WA). Thanks again!

It's been awhile since I last posted, but have been getting out and carving decoys again when I can. In my spots, Sprig is king and I've have taken some prime birds. GWT, Mallards, and Wig round it out. I've done a lot of scouting this year after buying a 4 rivers "Mini". Its not the...

I made a gunning box after I saw a picture/post from Steve (picture below) of an old David Hagerbaumer box with black brant relief carving on the lid. Might need to redesign and make another soon...Sweet little boat you got there.

Did a search but came up with nothing. Anyone own one or have first hand experience with the MINI model? Outboard/Mud Motor performance? Shallow vs big water performance? Comparisons to Fatboy DP or Kara Hummer type boats? Will be picking one up for a great price this Friday. Mainly just...

Hi all, Looking to get back into waterfowling and looking for a Fatboy DP, BBSB, Aquapod, Marsh Rat etc... located in the Pacific Northwest (I?m in the Seattle area). Thanks

David Clark Estuary on the Columbia River. Hope everyone is having a good season so far...I just picked up a Fatboy DP from a guy down south this morning...I think my fleet is complete (for awhile). I've had a slow start to the year due to a crazy work schedule, but I'm looking forward to...

I've been busy getting everything ready for our opener a week from today...I've been grassing the Estuary for the last 4-5 nights and just have a few more spots until I'm "done". I'll be sleeping in the boat and hunting 3 days before heading to Palm Springs for a little R&R with my family. I've...

Nice post Steve, enjoy seeing your work! Tony, if I were to buy some bodies, what is the process for attaching wooden heads, carved by myself? Thanks

Nice shots Steve, I found a couple of "east side" birds this past weekend by Lake Roosevelt with a brood about the same size . Big horn sheep were playing on the hillside for the 3 days I was there. 95+ deg temps sure made the cliff jumping spots refreshing.

Just got back from a 6 day trip to NE Washington, where I tried my luck at hunting turkeys. This was my first time hunting the species and learned a lot about their habits, environment, and terrain while I was there. We pitched camp in a canvas wall tent in the Little Pend Oreille National...

Thank you to everyone who replied to my post and PM'd me with their suggestions! This is very helpful for a newbie boater. Keep them coming! Zach
