Great question. I wish I knew the exact answer but I can offer only my understanding. If you were out in the field hunting and you and you're buddy each shot a black duck then your buddy goes off into the boat to retrieve a mallard, you are in the blind with 2 black ducks -- a field possession...

Hope the first timer didn't get discouraged, those brant are fun when they cooperate. The tide looked high, in the photos, with this full moon it'll make it tough to get the cooperation. I'm going to try and get out now that the ice broke up. Hoping the duck gods send the birds into the area -...

Gary, You are a very talented person, with great photos and opportunities to capture a story with pictures. I checked out your web site and was very impressed with the shots you've captured over the years. Too many favorites to list, please keep them coming. -Jack

ROTHFLMAO Phil, if it was one or two, i might have tried it. I usually roast birds, so i've probably eaten a few over the years. This one I was in a rush to get them cleaned. I usually see this with black ducks. "The tick I had I had I had I had before" BWhahahaha still cracking up...

Hey Guys, Been some time since I posted but I'm still visiting. Got a new Mac so I'm testing things out now that the kids are letting me go on the computer. Here's a great appetizer, This was my second drake mallard of the first split of my season, it's been slow for me not because...

I use bungee cord and eyelet (like on a kyack) I keep it on all year in a gararge, and touch it up now and then with new grass were my dog and I jump in and out of the boat. I've had the grass on for about 6 years now, may need to redo some this year. The only issue I have is when the...

I've been wanting to make a few (2 actually). They look easy enough to put together and my garage is cleared out. This could be the summer to do this project. I have the plans, and if you look at the NJWA site they give you the legible dimmensions as text at the bottom (below the image) -Jack

That made me laugh! Great post.

Pete, Thanks for the info. I never did trapping so I really didn't know what damage could have occured. It's great to feel at ease in new areas that I visit. I think you may need to give the dog some breath mints :0). The last time Chance did the "roll" he wreaked so bad. I was...

It was sunny today, while I walked the dog I took these shots. Sneaking up on a group, of about 50 Bluebills with the dog. They are a bit nervous, looking for a way out. Gone.... what a roar when they lift off.

That is incredible. In areas I hunt with a dog, I've come across one trap. Don't know much about them- but It was about 4 inches and a leg hold type. My dog fortunately was away from it, but If there was one there might have been more. I didn't enjoy the hunt, and left asap. Some new spots I...

Al, I got up this morning and took this picture for you before I head to work, there are over 100 birds sitting in front. It's cloudy and drizzling today (I hope they stick around for a sunny day picture). These birds were about 200yds away (had to use the digital zoom), there are...

Very cool, I like the open mouth hen; is the brant also an open mouth, or did a piece come off? Nice rig.

I agree its more than killing, so many sites to see when your sitting/waiting for the birds to fly. If I was in it for the kill, I'd have give up a long time ago. One season back in 2000 or 200 I hunted 30 days with taking only 1 duck. My girlfriend (current wife) was asking me why bother going...

Like these http://longislandgenealogy.com/...ess/DuckHunting.html I have one sitting in the back yard, I rarely use it--- heavy as a bit-h. I've never seen one with canvas on top, most were out of white cedar with oak rib. The west saville museum has a few on display. They row great, but I...

I'll have to search for the thread this is what I found in the search http://www.duckboats.net/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=88763;#88763 Here's a picture from yesterdays hunt, resized, cropped to meet the 100k limit.

Mike, I bought a Canon D10, love using it, my hands are to big for the Olympus, which my friend uses. Both take great photos. It's a little over $300 , I couldn't use it a lot this year because my wife had it most of the time. My first hunt and last hunt I was able to pry it away from her...

LOL-- Thanks Al, I've gotten one of those in 27yrs of gunning. Everytime I loose a bird I think it's banded. My buddy found a double banded goose in the marsh decomoposed. He's lucky that way. I just find swans with neck collars and Tarsel bands. I wait till the thaw and look for white lumps...

Scott, Yeah it's the last day tomorrow. It went fast (just like last year). I never did the ice fishing thing before, looks fun but I freak when I hear those cracking sounds. I'll wait for the thaw-- love the taste of yellow perch. -Jack Here's Chance bringing one in, the tide was way high...

I took an opportunity to hunt the north shore yesterday. Winds were more than I wshed for but my buddy and I toughed it out and were blessed with a few flights that made the guns roar. Goose hunting over water is tough hunting, the first pair that locked up into the spread was deceiving to...
