Hog fish are good eating for sure!!! I've fished the Queen Fleet out of Clearwater, and Hubbards and had good days on both. It's been a while since I made it to Florida to fish, I need to get back there. Up here Fluke(Summer Flounder) and Stripped Bass are the top targets near shore. Black...

Losing a dog is hard, I've been there as well. That's why its so important to enjoy the time you do have with them. I'm going to try and brighten everyone's day with something a little different. I teach at a high school and my boy has been raised on the sidelines of high school sports...

Ducks Unlimited ran a story a few years back about rehabbing an 870. Replacing a few springs, a machined ejector, ceracote etc. I did all of the mods I was comfortable doing on my own on my 870 and did my own camo job over rustoleum primer. It's held up well, but is starting to chip some...

Great season recap!!! Congrats!

Congrats on a great season! Man those Eiders are cool looking ducks, one of these days I'll have to give that a shot!

The only thing better than raising/training a Lab puppy is two lab puppies! Congrats on all your hard work training and congrats on what looks like a successful first season with your new hunting partner!

Great story!!! Congrats to you both!

I also have benefited greatly from Steve's paint tutorials and paint color lists. I have run into the problem lately that HD is no longer offering samples in the Behr Premium Flat Exterior in my area. Everything was Marquee Satin. Ended up buying a few quarts in some colors which means I have...

Dani, no doubt, the guides I've gone with have been very hardworking people. I was referring more to an internal feeling I had when I was younger, "I'm paying for this so I better pull the trigger". Of course back then buffleheads and scoters were new and exciting ducks for me. I never...

Some of those guys are paying to go on their first guided diver hunt, and the guides sure need to post pics to continue booking trips so I don't hold it against either of them. One of the reasons I don't like going on guided hunts is the feeling like I have to shoot something because I'm paying...

Heads are basswood, tails and bottom boards are pine

Lots of really good info above. You have plenty of decoys, and your concealment is good, Definitely grass the motor. As for motion, the old timers didn't have electric motion decoys, but they sure had jerk strings. If you use a jerk string, make sure the motion of your arm is concealed...

Craig F, he told me he ran into you, wish I had made it that day. Keep up the good work, I love seeing your stuff on here and Instagram.

I should say that the season so far has been terrible here too. We're getting 2-4 ducks on very, very good days, most days we're happy if we get one or two birds to decoy. We could sit on open water and shoot buffleheads, but I don't get a whole lot of excitement out of that. Good for a young...

First off, sorry for your loss. Facebook groups are a good way to find breeders. Social media has been replacing the traditional website for some time. Like usual call, get references and check health clearances.

It's way too warm out for this, but we got back after it this week. My Brother hunted 5 days, I was only able to make it twice to meet up with him. Most days were pretty slow, We were fortunate to have my brothers nephew with us who was on leave from the army. He had fun bagging a few...

Al, I seem to recall a story about you leaving a Burrito in the truck and one of your dogs eating it. When you got back to the house you figured out the culprit by which dog bolted to the water and emptied the bowl.

Finished painting these hen buffies. Tan cork with pine bottoms and tails, basswood heads, and mahogany keels. Paint is exterior latex fromHD.

Very cool! Do you ever hunt quail? Obviously I don't mean the ones you're feeding close to home!

Dani and Zane, thank you for the kind words. This may become a new obsession. My mother was very happy with it and I got a lot of positive feedback. I will admit that I ordered a 12x16 walnut cutting board because I wasn't sure I had the skills or tool precision to pull this off. I never...
