Tod Are the Osiers serving the traditional passenger pigeon with a slice of eel pie this year?

Carl Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to you and all of the duckboats.net members. Hope you all have a great day with family and get out to hunt over the long weekend.

Mike That listing was posted in the Seen Elsewhere section. I snagged some of the pictures and included them in the Madoc In. Resource. I wish there was more info out there. It seems like another example of a well designed duckboat that gets to the market and for whatever reason never gets...

Forgot to mention, some of these blinds are wider than DOT allows to transport. Those folks are able to get a permit to move them on public roads. I'm not sure what that entails, but it can be done.

Blake Our state, with their constantly changing WMA regs, recently eliminated anchored floating blinds on Swan Creek WMA near Athens/Decatur. These home-built blinds have been in use for 50+ years. It is a buyers market now. Typically they are anchored with spud poles and have a door on the...

Thank you Worth. I just heard about the news as well. Jeff participated on this forum from time-to-time, but I bet few knew just how big an impact he had on duck hunting. He wasn't one to toot his own horn. Jeff was instrumental in habitat development in Missouri and is a legend to those...

Ben You should tell folks you are a computer repairman and those are for microchips.

I like the big video format much better.

Ben Those are really cool. They must take some kind of patience to make. I wouldn't know where to start.

Chris Thank you. How important is it you have an outboard on the boat? Would armstrong work? If so a hellbender makes a really nice boat that works with your weight and length requirements. https://hellbenderboats.com/10 I got curious and went looking online for something that would meet...

Unlike Anthony, I can't think of too many options. I own a Broadbill and can't imagine losing a foot. County Line may have something that works but they have a long waiting list. You'd be lucky to have it by next season. https://countylineboats.com/product/1038/

The Madoc duckboat is a bit of a mystery but grabs the attention of duckboat aficionados. Below is information @ChadW compiled. In addition to being made by Madoc Inc. the boat also appeared in the Old Guide Catalog and where it was called the Old Guide Duck Boat and reported to be built by...

List Updated 11/25/2024 The second part of Worth's conversation with Ramsey Russell is now available. I thoroughly enjoyed it and encourage everyone to give both episodes a listen. I can't imagine a duck hunter not enjoying the conversation and feeling a little bit more informed about our sport.

Don Those are wonderful. I love it when I have an opportunity to hunt with someone who adds a personal touch to their equipment. Yours are some of the better I've seen. A few years ago I asked a group of hunters what they had done to add their mark on their hunting gear and all they could...

Don Timeout on the decoy talk. Let's see that gun stock a little closer!

Steve I seem to recall my Broadbill had the s/n in two locations. One was visible on the transom just under the deck. I can't remember if it was port or starboard but it was easy to see. There was a second "hidden" s/n underneath the aluminum motor bracket on the front side of the transom...

Well then one good cold winter could turn it around. Imagine being the hunter that didn't give up hope and kept all their gear. When the time comes they will have the bay to themselves and it will be like turning back the clock decades.

I don't think you can blame hunting pressure on it. There must have been an unfavorable change in available food since then. Maybe some ducks will arrive in the coming weeks with colder temps.
