    Who Is In The Wrong?

    In regards to flying drones, there are very strict rules where one can fly and can't. On DJI drones as an example, they will not even take off it in a restricted area. Geofencing. For drone flyers there are a couple of apps one can open before flying that shows an individual where you those...

    Who Is In The Wrong?

    Yes you can. Google Earth has people on some of the images. Google Street view as well. In most places it is legal to fly a drone and take pics or videos of people anyway and publish (nothing unseemly). And if it were illegal, those kids videotaping the farmer on his land would have been...

    Almost didn?t make it out this morning

    It is most certainly loud. The neighbors that are near me and I know I do provide a heads up when I hunt this one spot as it is close enough that even with windows closed, it could be quite a surprise. Luckily they understand, they are hunters themselves (deer) and I don?t over use this location...

    Almost didn?t make it out this morning

    Best part of the fog was how birds would suddenly appear. I likened it to how the Star Wars spacecraft look when coming out of hyperspace. BOOM, there they are. Many years ago I was going to hunt a favorite spot and it was really really thick fog. Maybe a mile or a little more of a boat ride...

    Here?s looking back at the office for the morning. Fog had cleared a little as I was leaving.

    Almost didn?t make it out this morning

    Got up at 6:40 with legal at 7:14. Threw on the hunting clothes and headed out the door. Walked down to the lake and kayaked over to the hunting spot. Was set up before 7:00. I am fortunate having a cabin on a lake with some good shooting spots. Very foggy morning. Thick heavy fog. Made...

    Who Is In The Wrong?

    The husband is always wrong. Oh, different question......... The farmer won't stand a chance in the court of law if he decides to push it. The grass from the blind is touching his corn stubble. While he may own the land, he does not own the air above the land. Maybe the corn stubble was...

    Number of Decoys

    My hunting has had to change the past 3-4 years or so. My favorite spot had an upstream dam removed which allowed tons and tons of silt to flow downstream into the area I hunted. Instead of wide, 3' creeks near the mouth, it is now either fast moving narrow creeks or slow moving, really...

    Number of Decoys

    I have been out the past couple of mornings and had too much time to ponder too many things. Here's one. How can anyone conduct any credible research into how many ducks to put out in a spread? How would you compare one time to the next? I would think there would be far too many...

    Anybody Here Hunt Manitoba? You Might Be Screwed.

    Used to waterfowl hunt in South Dakota all the time until the lottery came into play. Imagine owning land with a nice slough and being unable to hunt it. So not only does it hurt non resident land owners, those who own that land and can?t hunt it do not allow residents to hunt it either. Lose...

    Legal time app for android - anyone have a good one?

    Another suggestion that works for me when out of cell coverage. I look up the regs for the State I am going to hunt. I scroll to the part where it lists sunrise/sunset times and do a screenshot. Then I have a picture on my phone with the info I need. Easier for me rather than carrying a...

    Alumacraft Ducker kayak paddle

    I owned a ducker and used a kayak paddle. You need a really long paddle to clear the gunnels and the width (which I had) but it still didn't paddle worth a darn. Had to put a cushion on the rear deck and paddle from there but then to get the paddle in the water it would go in at a really steep...

    Legal time app for android - anyone have a good one?

    I dont know how you do this in android but know you can. On my iphone, I push in one of the side buttons that brings up siri. I than ask "what time is sunrise" and siri uses my location and gives me that data right away. As mentioned. not an android suer but they have to have something like this

    A Quick Trip to HHI For Redfish and Flounder- NDR

    Thanks for sharing the story. Is that someone's house in the second pic? Wow. I am guessing on the reason those boats aren't popular up here is that they are kind of an inbetween boat. I've looked at them and this is the reason I didn't purchase one. They aren't light enough to manhandle...

    I Can Fix That, Easy. Or So I Thought...

    Waist deep muck to walk around in. Just the sort of thing I LOVE to do. I feel for you. I no longer hunt places where I have to walk through this stuff. I call it heart attack muck. Looks nice. Mark

    Help needed with motor

    Used my superior mechanical skills and knowledge and got the motor running. We paddled out to the hunting spot and paddled back to the landing. Thought I would try and fix the motor on the spot. Took off the motor cover (which is about all I can do) and when I went to pull start to motor I...

    Help needed with motor

    1996 Evinrude 15 pull start. Got to the landing and the motor won?t start. First time ever. Started up a couple weeks ago just fine. Since then, I?ve turned the idle adjust knob on the tiller. Could that be preventing the motor from seating by chance? How do I find out where that knob should...
