Plenty of winter here.....the high was 4F today with snow

Great news Tom....thanks for the update. Glad you are home and thinking ahead to next duck season. Merry Christmas!

Rich, I used to live over that way. Lanier is wall to wall party boats in nice weather and still busy with fishing boats in the cooler months. Also, the shoreline is lined with lake homes and docks. There are a lot of resident white bread eating mallards and Canadas, but while I believe it is...

Any chance that was Lake Iamonia? We used to drive down there from south Georgia when I lived there many years ago. It was always a zoo with wall to wall hunters but it wintered lots of ringnecks who flew around and got themselves shot at all day. Glad you got some shooting and that is a good...

Boat trailers just suck. They are a necessary evil but despite my regular attention to tires, hubs, bearings, lights, winch and boat straps, etc. something is going to go wrong eventually. And then we all know those guys that haul around a rusted up POS with bald tires, kinked wiring, and old...

Looks like a good hunt on a nice warm day......18F and snowing here in Billings today. Congrats on the new vessel and the birds

Great news Tom!

So happy for you Dave! Enjoy those heavy decisions about what to do each day....or what not to do....maybe sleep in if you feel like sleeping in!

Good luck. Nice looking boat. I have a retriever cat also, but he is not much for water. He is good at leaving pens in front of our bedroom door and keeping the floor in front of the fireplace secure

I wish I could wear either the monovision (one near and one far) or the bifocal contact lenses but neither was comfortable for me. I am jealous of those that can pull it off. I have transition type near to far regular glasses and the same in a pair of polarized Oakley's. Kind of spendy and a...

I've got PVC uprights on the trailer so I should be able to learn how to back it up using the side mirrors

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I hadn't thought about the boat and trailer obscuring the camera but of course that makes sense. I did see some tutorials on YouTube about using the side mirrors to back a trailer rather than twisting around to look. I should review those again.

I have always prided myself on being able to back a boat trailer down the ramp quickly and in a straight line. As I have gotten older, the whole twisting my neck to look back over my shoulder contortion is really uncomfortable. I am considering installing a back up camera in my Outback. How is...

That fish decoy is really cool. I wish it was mine

Looks old and beat up and is probably taking up room in your shop. I should take it off your hands

We are supposed to have sunny skies tomorrow.....about 95% eclipse here in Billings. We are going to let our students at the college out of class for an hour to watch. Wife and daughter are leaving early in the morning to drive 3 hours south to Thermopolis, WY to see the 100% real deal

Carl, I have a had a fair amount of experience with building and maintaining wood duck nest boxes. My first suggestion would be to go to woodducksociety.com and look at their nest box plans and "best practices." Don't paint or put water seal on the wood. If you use cypress the boxes will last a...

Speaking for myself, I know that I periodically need some sort of reminder to donate to this site. So I will do that now. As far as upgrading photo loading capabilities.....I will defer to those who know more about this stuff than me. I know that in the past I have wanted to post pics but it was...

Yes, Andrew, the next time would likely be worse. Keep an epi-pen at home and in your vehicle (or tackle box or blind bag). I am in the business, and have seen life threatening and fatal anaphylactic reactions.

I see that some guys prefer "tarred" line for their decoy anchor lines. What is the benefit of tarred line?
