    Shall not be infringed ??

    Is this true for every type of gun? I know handguns are treated differently than shotguns most of the time. Mark

    Cold Blast Hunts

    My favorite hunt is right before or after a cold blast comes through. Not as many hunters out and the action is usually pretty darn good. Loved the comment on the spoonies . They are thick and plentiful here and we all try our best to not shoot one. Mark

    Long canoe with a side mounted ourboard.

    Many folks seem to use a side mounted motor with no issues. Just didn't work for me as it steered kind of wonky and the boat I had it on wanted to tip over when I was not in it. I did see a side mount that also had an outrigger device as part of it that went directly under the motor mount...

    Long canoe with a side mounted ourboard.

    I had a side mounted motor on a prior boat similar to a canoe and didn't like it. Very unstable and it turned one way great and not so well turning the other. When I got out of the canoe, it wanted to tip over to the side the motor was mounted on. I then switched to a center rear mounted motor...

    Hearing protection - again

    I have seen these. I have a couple of pairs of music ear buds that have the cord around the back. I a tully prefer this verses earbuds without the cord. If one falls out, the cord stops it from falling somewhere I won?t be able to find it. Or, if I want to take one or both out, they stay around...

    I know this question has been asked and I apologize for asking again. Looking for the best in ear hearing protection out there for a reasonable price. Requirements are Bluetooth connectivity and sound compression when the gun is fired. And easy to control without having to use a phone. I?ll...

    Dealing With Public Land Jerks

    Slit trailer tires and sugar or sand in the gas tank would make their day interesting...... Believe me when I say I have thought of doing this more than once. And to be clear, I've never done it. I would have launched my boat and pulled up right next to them where they hunted. When they...

    This mornings hunt

    Went out and scouted a few places yesterday and one held quite a few ducks. Got up early and was excited about the morning. Awoke to a light snow falling, below freezing temperatures and a nice strong wind. Loaded up the pickup with the Poke boat and off I went. This particular place is ways out...

    New Waders Recomendations

    I've had my pair of Cabelas breathables for going on year 4. Leaked a little in the crotch at the end of last year but was fixed with Aquaseal. Still going strong. I think I paid $180 or so for them. They are probably used 30-40 times a year but not going through thick log/twig infested...

    Aerial picture of hunting spot

    Yep, when set up here I face into the sun. Couple of reasons. Very strong wind that day and I prefer the wind a my back and in this place I am usually done hunting before the sun makes a difference. There are also big hills all around and trees on top so it takes awhile for the sun to bother...

    Aerial picture of hunting spot

    I've owned a drone for sometime but never used it due to the complexity of flying it and the fear of losing it. Sold it a little while back and purchased a newer, much easier to operate one. Took it with me yesterday to get some shots after the hunt was done. Here is one. Looks a whole lot...
