    Arkansas Opener Video from Public Land

    Rick, My wife bought me a spinner one year and I used it a bit but was never impressed. By the time ducks got down here they were pretty well shy of boats, blinds, decoys and all things mechanical in my opinion. You can rig up a jerk rig and get water movement on a still day if need be...

    NDR

    After some research I believe the vehicle to be a Prinzing or a Rosewood Classic coach model from the 1930s. It was quit unique as was Wayne. He accomplished a lot with only an 8th grade education. For instance he taught himself algebra to complete a test to be licensed to install septic systems...

    Had to make a dash of a run to Arkansas as my father-in-law passed on Sunday. Arrangements had been made as it wasn't a surprise. My wife's dad wasn't a hunter as an adult but understood my passion for hunting and what it represented to me. Through his contacts I had access to a lot of Ozark...

    Garboard vs copper tube and plugs?

    I've had two real fun days in my life time due to plugs. The first time was when I questioned a friend in his uses of a rubber type plug as shown in the picture. As luck would have it his plug got pulled out while motoring in back water. After running the boat up on a sand bar we managed to take...

    Trailer tires

    Carlisle? Unfortunately no trailer tire is warranted but Carlisle are the worse in my opinion. Then there is Loadrite. Both mine are weather checked but great treat.

    Electric Outboard

    I was thinking that was getting into manageable price range as I love my battery powered gadgets. Then I realized we're talking 48v rather than 12v. I guess I'll stick with my Minnkota motors until those battery prices come down.

    My dog has always had skin issues, dull coat and heavy shedding. Several years ago we finally had an allergy screening done and found out she's basically allergic to the earth and it's animals! We put her on a salmon and rice food. Her coat is beautiful now and the heavy shedding has stopped for...

    Winter is here. Who’s hunting?

    Last day of our duck season is today. Freeze-up last week caused me to put all my gear away then today it's 40 degrees! Go figure. It's par for the course though. Plenty of divers to shoot but not to be. Looking forward to next year.

    First sneak boat

    I use a high beam head lamp but a couple of guys I know use the forward location on the deck but have found that they needed to raise the light as Roy mentioned to reduce the glare off the water while running and gives more adjustment for pointing the light. I don't know if you're going to brush...

    Arkansas Opener Video from Public Land

    Yeah, I wondered what they cost. Knowing that puts it way out of line. It looks like a Borg take over. Resistance is futile! I knew my boat buying days were over when I retired. My old Lund still floats and my new Suzuki outboard will be paid off in 6 mos. I'll be happy with what I have.

    Thanks Richard. I have the plans in the Successful Waterfowling book. As is it's too big to get into my 16' boat. I thought about reducing the size but I'm thinking a stitch and glue my be easier to build. Found this one online and have been laying something out in cardboard but I'm just...
