    Honey Hole Occupied

    Jeff, I am preparing for my trip to northern Maine in a couple of weeks and have been following the weather. It looks warm now but will have a 20+ degree drop for the high in about two weeks. Just in time to freeze my butt off. I CANT WAIT! Dave

    Chessie pup needed

    I have a friend and old Hunter Safety Instructor buddy who called tonight to tell me his 9 year old Chessie passed away yesterday. He is looking for a pup and I was wondering if anybody knew of any breeders or litters in the Mid Atlantic area. Any help would be appreciated. Dave

    Need some new shoes for my dog!

    Thanks everyone for your help. I'm thinking I will go with the Denier and try it out. My biggest concern are some shoreline rocks that have barnacles that tend to get at his feet pretty good. Thanks again. Dave

    Lower number of ducks

    I agree. My above "griping" was mostly tongue in cheek. Although the science of predicting fall flights has improved immensely, there are numerous factors which will decide whether you see ducks or not. I have had fantastic days when the conditions were ideal for sunbathing and worthless hunts...

    Lower number of ducks

    Carl - the black helicopters are common knowledge. I believe they are switching over to drones next year. Dave

    Need some new shoes for my dog!

    Mike, are you using the 1000 Denier booties and, if so, how long do they last before they wear out? Dave

    How do the tubes work for water retrieves? Dave

    Need some new shoes for my dog!

    My dog is getting older and he seems to have feet problems more often from running thru rough terrain. Anybody got any suggestions for a black lab? I've never put shoes or boots on him and I'm not even sure he will wear them. I tried to put a neoprene vest on him years ago and he would disappear...

    Lower number of ducks

    Lucky that my "need to limit out days" are long gone and my real desire is just to have some peace and quiet and watch the dogs and younger hunters enjoy themselves. Reading the cover of a DU magazine every year brings chuckles because I just don't believe it. Every year is a banner year for...

    Central Illinois "Floatie Fest"

    Looks like a great bunch of fun Pat. That drake sprig looks just like the one I have sitting on my mantel....thanks to your talents. I agree, that was a generous gift to those youngsters. It only makes sense to me to give back to the next generation. I usually end up with a couple dozen plastic...

    New gun....just for fun

    I got a chance this past Sunday to take my youngest to the skeet range and shoot two boxes thru the gun. I have to say I was very happy with it. It feels a little "front" heavy when you shoulder it and I found that my electronic ear muffs would hit the stock when shouldered so I put them away...

    Sage grouse hunting in Montana

    Maine Freelance hunt

    Thanks Jeff, the canoe will be perfect. I wont have room to haul it back so I will just leave it along side a local lake or burn it upon completion of the hunt. I should probably find a fine pipe, an expensive double gun, a blue blood retriever, and some high quality waxed canvas hunting clothes...

    Maine Freelance hunt

    Heading to Maine the middle of October to have a long weekend with old Navy buddies and chase some birds. The guys said we have the grouse hunting covered but I was wanting to throw some effort at the ducks while I'm up that way. Jeff Reardon gave me some great advice and I was wondering if...

    Maine--the next Florida?

    Al - that's what I was referring to. The Guam story sounded pretty silly when they began "bombing" the island with little dead mouse parachutes to get rid of the snakes. We flew in there quite often on WestPacs and had to check the wheel wells on the aircraft and all of the pallets to make sure...

    otter bluebill decoys

    Well, I've never heard of them but that doesn't mean much. I did a search and found another site bad mouthing them but that doesn't always mean anything either. They have a Facebook page and I guess I would suggest you go directly to them with your questions/concerns and see what they say. The...
