Joe, fill out your profile and get in touch with the mighty layout boys. They have a full line of choices. Bob

Way to go Boys! Not much like a set of big decoys in a field and a bunch of geese that just have to land in them "Right Now". Bob

Scott, if they are red oak they will not last if stored outside. Red has pores or cells with no end walls and wicks water like crazy and then rots. White oak is very good at resisting movement of water. Douglas Fir is also good. Think 2x4. Pick a lumber pile for a clear pair with tight...

I know its one more boat for the fleet but this is an option given what you describe. http://www.mallardmarine.net/marshrat.htm

Ahhhh.... the keeper never rests. That lamp and 243 sounds like fun. Bob

Al, we had a buck here that went 10 points who liked the field right next to the Catholic Church. I always said I was going to shoot him for public indecency. I guess he didnt go to confession, as I never saw him after I set my tree stand up in the main foyer entry. Bob

Brian, hope you tucked in somewhere. It was howling 25 here this morning. Those TX boys sure are lucky! That is a great find on a hunt. Bob

Paul, that is a great story. I had heard that they did not do well as released birds here when they started the reintroduction back 30 years ago. Guess it works fine over there for you. Sure must have given that spaniel a pause when it came up on that thing! Enjoy Dinner. Bob

Jeff, John is about 110 pounds, and he can float in the rice and shoot. I would say if you can get in in shallow water and move to the spot a short distance away and it is not deep. (+1.5 feet) then yes. Mine are both narrow boxes. The builder from jersey makes a wide body about 6...

Brandon I would not hesitate to build out of either strips/planks or cold mold with layers of thin planks cross laid and epoxied if you want a complex shape. The technique requires a layer of glass on both sides to get the core effect of a skinned panel but that is not a big deal. Plywood...

John, I built the KARA and the box without the canvas. I bought the second one at Tuckerton because I liked the canvas so much. The King of Black ducks was doing his thing in the mud of the tide this morning. Looked very good. Bob

Someone asked me last week how the duck hunting had been. I told him it has been the best year I have ever had. The phone was silent. After a pregnant pause I let out that we hadn't seen squat for ducks due to the weather BUT the boys dont know that, so why tell them. If a few shots are...

Rich, dont tell my buddies but I am a sucker for those guns. I would even admit to wearing a tweed coat to get to shoot a pair with a loader passing them to you on a good drive. Not a bad car either but I cant see it making it into the mud holes I like to hunt. And she might need a...

Thanks Bill, do you know the contact or name in PA? Bob

Any one here know anything about these dogs? I have a friend who is looking into them and wants to find a breeder. There is one name in the NE area in VT but not much info on the web. Any one seen one in person? Bob

Dave, you want the recipe?

Great Pictures Jim, Esp of that red dog! Bob

Very sorry to hear that Pat. You and his family are in our thoughts and prayers. Bob

Kristan, Happy new year to you and all the rest of the DHBP family. Dont fret the move. You are in the hart of some serious pork and duck hunting and I have no doubt that you will find a friend quick and wind up on some shoots you will not forget. Texas has some very nice birds and other...
