    ISO: Waterfowl Sweater

    They typically run big. I am a bigger, stockier guy and I wear an XL in the Mack's and there is room to under-layer. I would be the same in the Cabelas. I am sort of in-between sizes. The L fits but it's not comfortable. The XL fits but slightly on the big side. I'm 5'10" and about 212 lbs...

    ISO: Waterfowl Sweater

    They did, but not that variant. They brought back the windshear guide variant: https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/cabelas-windshear-camo-long-sleeve-sweater-for-men I have that one but, unfortunately, the dry cleaner shrunk it. Very nice sweater. Doesn't have the chest pocket though. Macks PW...

    Sneakboat Dilemma

    Steve, Mike beat me to it. I measured last night and my measurements are right there close with what he gave. We originally sat on MoMarsh Invisiloungers which worked but were quite uncomfortable on the back after a while. Now we sit on Cabelas turkey chairs that fold. That was a game...

    KUIU waders review

    This is the problem with a lot of the brands. Other than Cabelas and maybe those who live locally to Rogers or maybe Macks PW, you cannot actually check them out or try them on. I had a discussion about this with another board member. A lot of the newer brands: Sitka, Kuiu, Chene, etc are all...

    Sneakboat Dilemma

    I tend to agree with you but it's the supply and demand of it. I have no intentions of selling mine. However, if I did, it would probably fetch close to near $12k the way it sits with the motor. I agree with the DB13. That's a bit high. Great boats but if you read on here, the re-design under...

    Hunting in the age of social media

    Yes sir. Typically, I've learned if you want a good chance: Pack a sandwich and plan to sit through the low. Gotcha! Took me 9 years to find them and if I hadn't seen the pics I'd have never known they were here either!

    Hunting in the age of social media

    They're here. I'll give you one clue: Find the mud. You'll find the pintails.

    Hunting in the age of social media

    That's the brighter side of things. Which I think is, in fact, is great. I've met a lot of great people on social media that have taught me a lot. Craig F and other local individuals have really helped me not completely fumble around, blind, in trying to figure out the local duck hunting...

    Sneakboat Dilemma

    The price on the 13's is actually higher than the Roy high boats in some cases. Do consider that if it includes a motor, that may affect the price. If it has something like a new Yamaha 25 you're probably $3900-$4000 for the motor. I know I paid $4500 for mine last year, band new, which is rock...

    Sneakboat Dilemma

    There actually has been a bunch for sale. It's very interesting. For years there was 1 or 2 here and there. Last few months there has been at least 3-4 for sale. I actually know of one person selling one locally in NJ right now. Or at least, it was for sale not too long ago. I could see myself...

    Sneakboat Dilemma

    I agree with this. You have to try a lot of boats, and it's fun, to find the right one. I started with a Jon boat and hated it. Granted, it was the lighter weight "topper" style ones. I built a pop-up blind for it. Shooting buffleheads and brant? No problem. I couldn't kill a puddle duck from...

    Sneakboat Dilemma

    Noah, As Craig F mentioned, we use turkey chairs. They are perfect. Do note, if you find a used Duck Invader 13, there are two style flaps. High and low. Mine was built when the company was known as Duck Invader and Rich was selling the boats with low and high flaps. The low flaps you will...

    Sneakboat Dilemma

    There is, supposedly, a 14' South Bay variant. You are correct in that the smaller SB's will hunt 2 hunters but I have heard it's tight. They are great boats, just pushing it in terms room. Start adding decoys into the mix and it will get low on room really quick. Your answer: Duck Invader...

    Very lucky day for me

    I feel incredibly fortunate with this bird. The biologist who actually banded the bird replied to my post on a FB group I'm a member of. He remembered the very specific group of birds he banded this one in.

    Very lucky day for me

    This bird actually decoyed very well. I'm used to their normal antics: getting up over top and flaring, coming in hot and then putting the brakes on, and of course their signature landing just out of range outside the decoys. The ones I have had the most luck with are those that come in hot...

    Last day. NJ

    Very nice Jode. You've always given great respect to those green wings. I am jealous of you guys picking away at them right till the last day. They usually leave us in numbers sometimes as early as November in the northern part of the state. One day I'll make it down that way.

    Cold Snap

    Spoke to a client in San Antonio TX on Monday and it was 19F there. That is absurd. We have a couple more days of cold left in the season it seems. Then it's all she wrote. I am giving it a go tomorrow. 30 degrees and 3-4" of snow on the coast.

    Very lucky day for me

    No argument from me! Seems like a very logical explanation. Also seems to be consistent with what I've seen as well.
