Way to go boys!!! Mike, that's a nice bull!

Way to Go! Nothin' wrong with butterballs! I have had a ball watching those little fellars this year!!!

For the most part it is. If you build a blind on public land or waters, it becomes public and is first come, first served. I believe there is a 4am rule also(meaning you're not allowed to start setting dekes until 4am at the earliest). There are some guides that have fancy blinds in the...

I love your style Geoff! The wigeon that you do are probably my favorite of all the work I've seen of yours on here! So elegant, and simple.

That's funny Dave! I was just thinking the exact same thing. You guys have ruined me! :)

Welcome Jon! You won't be disappointed with the PNW if you love being outdoors! There's more things to do here than you can shake a stick at! :) If you hunt on the coast for a while and then move to Moses Lake and hunt there, you will think you have landed on the moon! Especially in the...

Love the new retriever! I wonder how he'll do with geese?

That's what I'm talkin' about! Great morning Al! I've had a lot of mornings like that this year, and I still love going out more each time! Most people think I'm crazy. I'm always asked, "how can you sit out there all day?" or "what do you do all day?". It's hard to explain to someone...

Good for you Gary! I thought about how you were doing the other day and said a prayer for you. Keep your chin up and know that God has a plan for you! There is a mess of geese out on the lake right now! Think any of 'em are newbies?!!! I saw a few high flying flocks of mallards the other...

Made some patterns from Gary's photo and got them transferred to the foam. The two body patterns will get glued together and then the side profile drawn on. I will cut both profiles at the same time on my hot wire bandsaw. I still have to cut a head pattern out of hardboard for the sandwich...

The only tools I use are a hot wire foam cutter, a rotary rasp, and sandpaper. The foam carves like butter with a dremel and rasp and smooths out with sandpaper very well. You can bust these out quick if you want to. You may not be able to have as much detail as wood, but hey, if they're...

Just to stick my paw in the hive, I will recommend carving foam. They are very light, and self right and ride excellent with just a piece of trex for a keel. When finished properly, they are quite tough as well. I burlap mine with tile mastic (with 2-3 coats), seal with spar and 2 coats of...

Neat post. Looks like you've had some fun this fall/winter! What are the odds of your boy finding that hunk of metal?!!! That is great! I'm sure he'll remember that for a while. I like your new setup too! Looks like you have the sway control/stabilizer for the trailer too? I put that on...

I have decided on a drake Ringer for my contribution. I did some searching on here of pics from Gary March and settled on making a pattern from this one! It will be a bobtail with the usual plastic eyes, apoxiesculpt bill, acrylics, and a trex keel with eye hook. Hopefully he won't mind...

Whoah, easy Andrew. No one is upset here. This place is like a great big family of crazy people obsessed with waterfowling and the rules are in place for a reason! Become a part of it and make sincere posts and then you can become part of the family and post to the classifieds. I agree with...

Nice work and a beautiful bunch of birds Fred!!! I've been having the same problem over here on the east side. There are plenty of birds around, but they just aren't moving, and they are definitely not new. This weather is ridiculous. Most days this year have been Buffy shoots, just so the...

Sweet photo!

I'll take a call out of that walnut please!!! :) That was a pretty good score! I am sure you will make some beautiful calls out of that! I have to say, I really admire your work. The birds you carve are extraordinary and your calls are excellent! One day, I will have one of each.

I would like to participate Dave! I'm a beginner and I've been carving foam to start with. I can definitely make a gunner, but nothing fancy yet. I'm not much of a painter so I could provide a sealed/primed decoy so the recipient could paint it themselves if wanted. Here are some...

Doug, those birds are incredible!
