Fred, I already have the donation from SJ so please get with him to ship the call. Thanks to both of you for the stellar support. That went a long way towards getting us secure for the next year.

Seriously??? With barely more than a day left the call is at $100? I sincerely hope there are some bidders out there waiting for the last minute to swoop in. I do want to thank everyone who has participated thus far. But I have to add this call is criminally underpriced at the present time...

Richard Today while driving into work your Widgeon project crossed my mind. Now just a little bit later you hit us with an update. She's looking really good, and I imagine the hull is strong and water-tight with the epoxy taped seams.

Tim I don't have any advice seeing as how I know very little about it. But I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis and hope the rheumatologist will be able to help you get back to feeling like yourself again.

Interesting. Seems like Molly Hatchet would benefit from snippets of their music circulating instead of disappearing into obscurity.

Looks like someone owns the rights to the music in your video and blocks any and all use of it. Was it Guns N' Poses, or maybe The BEagles?

Bob Congratulations on your piece being selected for the exhibit. Of course, as I look at the picture I'm thinking they'd be crazy not to include it. If you happen to have any conversations with the attendees about the subject matter of duck hunting I'd be curious to hear their attitudes.

For the duck call makers out there. This is a patternmakers lathe. Think of it as a cross between a metal lathe and a wood lathe. Capable of making precision parts. These do not show up very often, especially this complete...

One other thing I'll mention is I run the dust collector hooked up to the saw while blowing out the cabinet to help evacuate the dust while it is suspended in the cabinet.

I'm not familiar with that particular saw but if it is anything like my Powermatics it could be the worm or trunnion gear is getting clogged with sawdust, or where the crank shaft passes through a casting is getting rusty/corroded. Heavy grease is a no-no due to tendency of sawdust to make a...

Well, I completely forgot this song existed until somehow last night I came across it. Released in 1995 it really captures how stripped-down rock music became post hair band era and just how ordinary the musicians looked. A real reversal of the industry just 5 years earlier. I still find...

List updated 4/22/2025 I just got word from Brad Bortner about a special episode of the Duck Season Somewhere podcast that he was a guest on. The topic is the current administration's impact on waterfowl population management at the USF&WS. Radical changes in the way waterfowl populations...

Canada is becoming a place to book a guided hunt. Freelance hunting is getting harder to do, especially for non-citizens. For example MB no longer allows freelancing to anyone. A non-citizen must enter a limited lottery for a seven day permit, but anyone can book with an outfitter until they...

You don't paint me a rosy picture. My attitude towards duck hunting is largely tied to freedoms for choosing when and where to hunt. Scouting and finding birds on my own figured quite large over my career. The urge to explore and find adventure in pursuit of game is of paramount importance...

Tod So that everyone knows, R3 is recruit, retain, and reactivate. I think differently on this matter, perhaps. Government policies and programs are huge drivers in funding for wildlife conservation including research, management, land preservation, etc.. The only way this happens is if...

RM I'll have to ask my son about that. I know he is a member of Delta and DU, but I've never really thought about his peer's tendencies along these lines. Interesting.

Rick I'm going to remember that quote because it is both ironic and true. I feel for the folks that have hunted Ark WMAs for many years. The changes are stark. Thomas commented to me just last night that his memories from going there as a kid are quite different than today's experience...

Scott That is the best AA Broadbill refurb I can remember. I look forward to a sea trial report. Thank you very much for sharing this project with us. For certain it will be referred to many times in the coming years by other Broadbill owners whose boats need repair work. You have set a...

Jeff In a perfect duck hunting world everybody would have a Devlin Broadbill. I have said it many times to my hunting partners and here, if everyone showed up at the ramp with their own sneak boat instead of multiple guys in jon boats you'd have more fun and be more successful.

Rick I really appreciate your words on this matter. You have given this plenty of thought. Like you and Tod I have also seen significant hunter utilization increase on public hunting grounds. Unlike the nationwide trend of fewer duck hunters our state stamp sales have kept up with the...
