As a retired police officer my heart sank today...my prayers are with the families and fellow officers who have, and are still, standing the line.

I hope this is the correct place to post this.... Recently, I have become aware of an orphanage in Honduras where the young boys (ages 6 to 18) are taught skills they can use in life after they leave and go out on their own. One of these skills is wood working and carving. Currently, they...

Dani, Great hunt and thanks for sharing it with us....whens the hogs roast?

Thank you for the compliment Pat....but what Pat did not tell everyone else is that he was acting as first mate by deploying the layout, all the long lines and rotating our guests in and out of the box safely. It is a team effort and the team is only as strong (or safe) as its weakest...

Andrew, Great story, thanks for sharing it and the photos with us. Dave

Pat As we talked about that night, the Delta Marsh cans had a very pronounced silhouette that really showed up when in the water. I have to admit, I too, was confused about the reverse tear drop, but after seeing them in the water I am a believer...after all, how many cans were shot over...

Brandon, Wow, thank you for the compliment on my Mallards! After floating them next to your Red Heads I feel humbled by your compliment. Pat and Tim have a lot of influence in my carving and it has become a very rewarding hobby. Maybe after the 2014/15 season is over we can work out a...

I own and waterfowl hunt a CZ Ringneck. As many of you know it is a single trigger design. Only one minor problem with the trigger failing to fire the second barrel after about a case of 3" shells went through it. CZ was wonderful about taking care of the problem and turn around from CZ was...

Steve and all the others who replied, Thank you so much for the help. Knew I would find the assistance I needed on this site. When Pat Gregory, Tim Speight and Jim Williams told me about DUCKBOATS I was overwhelmed with the vast amount of knowledge and information being shared here. So...

Never thought I'd be posting this but......I carved a Mallard for a buddy of mine who resides down in LA. His wife now has requested (and I can't believe I am saying this) that I carve her a Sea Gull.....beach rat.....however they are good friends and I told her if I could come up with a pattern...

Pat, Way to go buddy! Bishop Hill is a great venue for displaying your talents and sharing your love for carving. Oh...you are right about the pies as well:). Again congrats! Dave

Pat, Want to try a hollow Spec Belly....goose brats? My grill is hot and your welcome over anytime! Dave

Pat, Very cool trip you had...thanks for sharing the history of the MI region with us! Dave

Just received a Buffy Drake from Ian McCarthy and it will definitely go in the rig and be hunted over this up coming year. Will post a photo soon.

Got to agree with Pat and Steve....leave the tails alone, great look!

Pat and Andrew, Thanks for sharing the photos of your trip. As a beginner carver it is great to see some more history of this art form from the past. Dave

Pat, Really like the Wigeon! Can't wait to hunt over them this year...of course you'll have to check my decoy bag before I go home to make sure they are not in my bag :) Dave

I have had great success with FED EX

Pat, What a great time....from shooting with all of you, to you and I discussing what our next decoys to carve will be. Perfect weather, perfect friends and though we did not shoot quite perfect it was a perfect day to help raise money for the Scouts. Thanks for asking me to be on your...

Tom, My bird is done and Jim W should have forwarded you the photo. Dave
