Would you be better off with an aluminum Duckwater based on the water logging and resin issues of the TDB or Bankes?

Nice decoy. I had the oppotunity to visit a local decoy collection. It was a very nice collection with many high dollar pieces. They now sit in a museum that the late Jay Koetje built on his property. It's quite the collection of decoys, calls and other waterfowl relics.

The panic buying has people buying a little extra this season as most don't expect any shells to be available come end of November. Many of the clubs around where I am are buying extra cases of shells which also doesn't help the supply. I went into one of the gun clubs and they had a half...

I am in NW Washington and about 20 minutes from the salt. It should be good as lot of the northerns that start arriving about the 3rd week of Oct. hit all the fields. We have a lot of corn planted in the Skagit Valley, so it should hold the birds pretty good for us. Between the 3 counties...

I purchased an egg style mold and poured my own weights. I ran a drill bit through the holes as they were a bit tight for line I had. Otherwise they have worked great.

I have two of the aquapods. They have been great for hunting out of. Not sure they are still in business. I asked my buddy to check as he lives down in Ridgefield, WA where they are made.

I have a RWS 460 Magnum and it has worked great on small animals and evasive birds. I picked up a new FX air rifle and it blows the RWS out of the water. It is a pneumatic one and I have an additional air tank to fill it. I get tight groups out to 60 yards and can shoot it accurately out to...

I have found some ammo at Wal Mart a few times over the last 3 weeks. It's the same guys morning after morning that are standing in line buying everything they can. They now have a 3 box limit or you would still have empty shelves. I think they are re-selling the stuff on the internet. I...

I have a half dozen of the magnum mallards. Never seen water.

I started both of my boys with a Benelli M2 youth compact. Best choice I could have made. Not to much weight in the front end. Easy to swing and light on the recoil. Prior to that I tried several other models they struggled with. Mosberg Bantum, Remington Youth 870 pump, Remington LT-20...

Sounds like a fun one. To bad the guides didn't see what the geese were doing and change up the spread some. I have no problem moving decoys if they aren't doing it quite right. I did a guided duck hunt once because it was a birthday gift. The guide set up and we watched birds pour into a...

I still have no plans to get the shot. We will see what happens. Got a flu shot about 18 years back and remember that was the sickest I had been in a long time. Eventhough everyone says that's not possible.

I watched that video of them hunting in the freezing bay. I am sure a fair share of waterfowl hunters died due to capsizing and hypothermia.

If you get on Leo Adventures, they offer discounting on multiple lines along with Sitka. It is for LE, Fire, Educator and more, it will get you a discount. If you are a vetran, you can go directly to Sitka and they will also give you the discount. I have tried all sorts of various jackets...

Nice. Typically I would have 3-4 shooter with me. Decoy wise we run 70-100 decoys for brant. For sea ducks I usually run 6-10 dozen. If diver hunting on the Columbia we run 12-24 dozen decoys.

The ammo sale ban would crush some of the big on-line retailer and put a hurting on others like Roger's for sure. Hopefully large taxes aren't imposed on ammo as well. It would make the price tag on shell's hurt a bit more. I tried to prepair for this and purchased my shotgun shells for next...

Good information. We seem to get chop or bigger water frequently due to wind conditions or changing of the tides. We can see up to a 13' tidal exchange on the salt. Not quite like up in Alaska where it can be 23' plus.

With the house, senate and presidency being controlled by very anti-gun thought processing folks we may see some very real restrictions coming our way.

I believe Mike W. has a 19' Bankes down in Renton. Tim in Port A. has the 17' Bankes. Mike N. has a 23' Duckwater. I will see what I can get lined up. I may be heading down to Short farms next month, so I can try to get in contact with you at that time. Thanks again.

I am up in Skagit county.
