"Norwegian triple", I like that....uff da!

So, it's a mutt!

I thought a first that could be a mallard/wigeon cross but after seeing the speculum I thought more likely a mallard/black cross

Nice morning Carl....thanks for posting.

Thanks for the report Carl. Let us know how you do tomorrow.

My story is not duck dog related and I'm not trying to hijack the thread...but thought I would pass this on. Years ago when we lived in South Dakota I came home with a mixed limit of birds after hunting on the Missouri. I had the ducks lying on the porch while I went inside to get something to...

Man, I like fried sea trout. One thing I miss about coastal Georgia since we moved west. We do have freshwater drum in the Yellowstone River and I always keep those guys when I catch one because they are good eating

I have flipped a canoe over in cold water and if I had not been wearing a life vest I would have been done for. Within seconds I could barely move, think, react. I was able to hold onto the overturned hull (barely, because it iced up right away) and kick my way to shallow water. Lost a shotgun...

Dani, When I was going to school in south Georgia (many, many years ago) we used to drive down to Lake Iamonia to shoot ringnecks. Even back then it was crazy crowded with hunters. Any chance that's the lake you are talking about?

Thanks again Rob....good to hear analysis from a guy with your background. The local media says BPS and Cabela's not returning their calls so of course that fuels the fires of speculation about what is happening or what might happen. Billings is not a big city (approx. 110,000) by most...

Rob, thanks for your comments. Very interesting information. I wonder if BP will keep the Cabela's name, redo the stores into new BPS stores, close some of the poorer performing Cabela's stores, or all of the above?

Well said Mark. When held to a high standard, the Chinese are quite capable of making a quality product. Violins, for example....yep, plenty of cheap, crappy Chinese violins on eBay. On the other hand, some of the finest performance violins in the world are made in China...and they are not...

Eric, that's really a darn good suggestion!

It's been years since I last went to a DU banquet. Lots of guys pretending to be high rollers who had too much to drink and were bidding up the prices on a bunch of Chinese made "Official DU" junk and mediocre "limited edition" prints. (is it really a limited edition if they print 5,000...

Montana has the absolute best stream access law in the US, and it is because of advocates like Don Thomas. A regular guy like me has access to thousands of miles of streams and rivers on which to hunt and fish. It is one of the reasons I feel lucky to live here. Rich jerks like Kennedy, aging...

Matt Coffey sounds like a tool....but what else could he say? I am sure Kennedy could send an email to DU and they would tell Matt that he had 15 minutes to clear out his office. Because, after all, Mr. Kennedy is a "volunteer leader." Makes me want to puke

A Billings TV station reported today that our local Cabelas might be closing effective January 1 after the Bass Pro buyout. My impression, at least in our market, is that Scheels put them under. Scheels has more of an upmarket kind of feel, while the Cabelas started to look like a run down...

I have met Don Thomas and always looked forward to his writing in Traditional Bowhunter magazine. He is a gentleman and a tireless advocate in Montana for traditional bowhunting and for our stream access laws. I quit giving money to DU years ago as I felt my donation dollars were better spent...

Nice looking rig

Steady rain or bright sunny days with flat, calm water are my least favorite. During or the morning after a cold front with strong NW winds and a big drop in the temperature always seem to provide good shooting with lots of new, anxious birds that will drop in even if you are wading around...
