    Extreme duck boat tour

    I'd love to hook up with you for one of your hunts in NW Missouri, birds are starting to filter in but we need a couple good cold fronts for really good numbers. Maybe buy you a steak and a beer if you stay in the KC area. Rocky

    dating shotgun shells

    I am always leery when I buy shotgun shells that I am getting stuff left over from last year. I have had hunting buddies argue both sides of the argument whether or not it matters. Do modern shotshells (powders) deteriorate over the course of 1 year? There has to be a date code on the...

    NDR - checking trolling motor

    I hooked the motor up to my battery charger and it worked fine, so it must be the battery. I think I bought the battery last summer, so it is probably still under warranty, I'm going to take it back.

    NDR - checking trolling motor

    Working on the assumption that someone on this forum can provide direction on nearly any topic imaginable, some of them even worthwhile, I have a question: Saturday while fishing my trolling motor stopped working, when I got home I found that battery wouldn't take a charge. How do I...

    boat blind

    Managed to kill a drake mallard and a buffie hen. The Gadwalls worked all morning, but would swing by just out of range and land in the middle of the outlet. Had a canvasback work the outlet, but he never got close enough for a shot. The Mallard met the same fate as the Colts will next...

    boat blind

    Last year I built a boat of my own design using the hull of my fishing boat as a modelfor the hull of the new boat, and the top constructed similar to a Kara. It didn't work out so good, in that I didn't make the hull strong enough so it split. So this week I decided to use the fishing boat as...

    The geese are back in KC

    The snow up north over the weekend finally pushed the geese down to us here in the Kansas City area. The wheat field behind the plant where I work is full of Canadas. The field is only minutes from downtown and well within the city limits so there is no chance to hunt them. It is really cool...

    Repair split in hull

    I built a boat that is a combination of a Kara and my old Duracraft aluminum fishing boat. The Duracraft is very efficient in the water for rowing or using a small motor, so I used the hull designer software that someone posted on this site a while back to approximate the Duracrafts hull...

    getting water out of a Kara

    Anyone have a good way to get water out of a Kara? It rained about an inch during my hunt last weekend, and I ended up with a boat full of water. The sides of the cockpit trap the water if I try to flip the boat and pour the water out, so I used a shop vac to suck it out. My wife says that...

    Small Decoy bag

    I use the Greenhead gear "Pothole" bag. You can get it from Cabelas for $9.99, and it holds up well.

    Youth left handed shotgun

    My daughter is right handed, but left eye dominant so she shoots lefthanded. I bought her a 20ga Ithaca Model 37 youth. It is bottom eject, but the safety is on the trigger guard. It is so light that my daughter complains about recoil, even with light target loads. My 2 cents
