Those of you who live close enough may want to stop in at Bryan Muche's Old Duck Hunter booth at the show next weekend, March 7-10. I'll be there on Saturday and Sunday with the new Gordon MacQuarrie book, Right Off The Reel. You could say this book was born in Milwaukee- it is composed of...

I never knew Tom, but have followed his travails through this site- I know the Gift of Life house, spent a little time there, and had sometimes thought about checking in with him when I am at Rochester, never did. I'll be there on Monday, for routine stuff- my story goes on better than Tom's...

Hi Fritz. Yes, Dale Arenz is the primary Keeper of The Flame for the ODHA. You can read more about his story in the foreword to "The Last Stories of The Old Duck Hunters" in the trilogy. He provided most of the stories for that book, and most of the list of publications for Keith Crowley's...

Hi Andrew. I'd be pretty sure these Old Duck Hunters pilgrimages are going to become an annual thing. Dave Thorson, now deceased started the first in 2016, last year I led a tour of the western side of MacQuarrie country, and the BAHA Museum people are doing this one. There is a lot of...

Hi Rob. Yes you are right about last July- I was thinking about the fall 2016 pilgrimage which more resembled what this tour will be- it includes museum, but also the actual places the Old Duck Hunters went hunting and fishing. It should be fun- try to make it. Dave

The Barnes Museum near Mac's cabin on Middle Eau Claire Lake will be hosting another pilgrimage to the Old Duck Hiunters base of operations in northern Wisconsin. New this year is an optional canoe trip on the Brule River on Sunday Aug 26 Do a search for Barnes Area Historical Association to...

Hey Tom, I just returned from Mayo the last two days, would have tried to meet you had I known you were there. Mine is nothing like your's- had a kidney transplant 17 yrs ago, and now I have a stent in ureter that needs changing out every 5 months. Basically like a very expensive oil change...

I'm not real close, 65 miles away in Cumberland, but I might be the closest to answer your post. I don't have any spots to give away, but ask away, I'll help you if I can. Dave Evenson

Greetings to all fans of Gordon MacQuarrie and The Old Duck Hunters' Association, Inc. I will be leading a tour covering many of the sites MacQuarrie and Al Peck hunted and fished in the early days of their association on Saturday, September 9. We will make nine stops: Shores of Yellow Lake...

The UofWis Bulletin was number 158. I have an emailed scanned copy. If I were technologically astute, I'd probably be able to figure out how to post it. I know there is a way to send emails to each other via this forum- haven't even figured that out yet. If I can I could forward the email. That...

I'm expecting it to be like these affairs always are- there will come a time during the 3 hr window when it gets a bit more formal and Keith talks to a group. That said, if I were you and couldn't get there until 2 oclock, I'd come anyway. I'm pretty sure it won't be a 3 hr lecture! I'm not...

For you Gordon Macquarrie fans, the Barnes Area Historic Association (near MacQuarrie's Hole-in-the-wall blind and his cabin) will be presenting an event with Keith Crowley, MacQuarrie's biographer on July 22, 12noon to 3PM. The Museum has collected quite a few MacQuarrie items, guns, boat...

I've used a router to make molds in red oak- used a round bottom and flared back the top just a bit, enough that there was no wood enclosing the poured anchor. No problem dumping out the cooled anchors.

I'll be heading over to Wisconsin Rapids next Fri evening and Saturday for the Wisconsin Waterfowl Conference. Lots of hunter supplied food on Friday night and good sessions on Saturday. Google Wisconsiin Waterfowl Conference- should take you right to the site. Dave
