I don't remember what sw came with it. I loaded the in land lakes maps and have been really happy with it. When I get a new unit it will be a Garmin. I bought a TomTom for the car and hate it, the wife won a Garmin unit and the TomTom has been put away. The only issue is the screen is small...

Carl, Check and see if you can turn off the WAAS feature on your GPS. My eTrex quit working and when I contacted Garmin they said the satalites had changed and it was messing up the WAAS feature. I turned it off and everything is working now. I could do a sw upgrade to get it back but I...

They are funny things to use. The blind conversation goes something like this: Birds decoy in - "That spinner is working great, should we put out a second!!" A little bit later Birds bug out - "The spinner is the problem, pull it!!" Tod, you are correct, we are judged by what we type...

Corn in the water is how a lot of the old timers did it, does that make it "traditional" and less unethical and distasteful? Using or not using a legal product and / or "traditional" tool does not make anyone a better or more ethical hunter. Hunt the way you like but don't judge someone for...

Sorry I could not identify the semi-auto blackpowder gun in a 2" x 2" photo. I did not even know they made those. :)

Tod, that is a cool traditional black powder pump shotgun you have in your photo. ;) Also, I guess you don't have an issue with the Vortex thing (in states where it is legal) because it does not have the pole positioning problem. This whole "traditional" ego thing drives me crazy and decoy...

Mallard Foamer some simple divers:

Mike, did you get your lab from Jack Jagoda @ Deep Run Farm in Va. I had him work with my lab 13 yrs ago, he did a great job.

Steve, What is the reason for the change in the fore to aft curve at the pods on the Back Water 11? Is it to help keep the nose down based on the small size an HP?

this is a good description of what I Brandon is now doing. If you look at the picture in the background of his photo you can really see the shape. Both heads are nice but the one on the right has the correct front profile.

Go with the Banks. I have a DW and I like the boat but what you see above is true. The paint falls off like a new production decoy. The welds are ugly (but holding) and there is weld splatter that was not cleaned up so I know the boat was not prepped / sanded before painting. I also had...

all things in good time.

At least you can still get some of the original style heads on the web. ;)

Lou, Very nice tutorial. It is hard to put something like painting into words and photos. The only thing I could think of to add is a few photos and descriptions of the different brushes. Someone who has never painted may not know what the different brushes look like and what they are...

That was me, we were hunting the islands. Not much luck (1 gad) but it was a fun day.

Blake, I have to agree with you, there are a bunch of Cans running around the lake. I can not tell you how many birds I let pass in the last 2 weeks because of Cans (either in the group or not sure because of the light). I hope they have a GREAT spring and summer so we can hunt them next year.

I could actually hear the water move when I lifted the bow of the boat. The second version of the hull did not have a sealed inner hull so water inside it would not be an issue. If you are looking at 3' waves, I would look at some other options also. There are safer boats out there. I would...

Lou, I was in a case of live and learn when I bought the 14' Outlaw. You are correct in that the floatation is in the floor which is not a good thing. However, the bow was high enough that I never had an issue with it trying to submarine. I have heard that the owner had issues with other...

Here you go. There were 2 hull designs the first was a flat bottom all the way to the bow. The second had a v in the front. They must have had some issues with the first hulls getting water in the inner hull because mine did and they replaced it with no questions and no cost to me. I did not...
