    Invisilab

    Agreed. It's really well made like most Momarsh gear and a great tool in certain situations but it's not a great option if you're carrying it, your decoys and your shotgun very far on your shoulders. I've been meaning to weigh it with a better scale but my bathroom scale says it's several...

    Snow in Coastal Alabama

    A gorgeous blue and a great bag! Thanks for sharing.

    Saying Good-Bye is very difficult sometimes (NDR)

    Exactly, Tom. I would end up the Lab equivalent of a crazy cat lady.

    Don Thomas has been fired by DU

    Lengthy but a worthwhile opportunity to hear Don's view. http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/hunt-talk-radio-randy-newberg-unfiltered-hunting-conservation/e/41693173?autoplay=true

    Does Anyone have Advice on Buying versus Making their own Decoys?

    Where, what and how you hunt...and how you get to to your hunting spot (powerboat, paddling, hiking?) certainly is something to consider when settling on decoy types. But like a hand-tied fly, there's an additional reward to having a flock cup in on your own handiwork.

    Poll for the northerners: How has this season stacked up?

    We're down to our last week of upland hunting with another three weeks or so of waterfowling to go but the options for the latter are fast becoming limited as the shelf ice builds on the rivers and the stubble snow deepens. Numbers wise, this year has been a good one but my timing has been off...

    Headlamps - seek advice

    I started using a Petzl Tikka RXP this year and have been pretty satisfied with it. The beam self adjusts based upon the viewing distance. http://www.rei.com/product/860106/petzl-tikka-rxp-headlamp

    Antler tree is back for 2015.

    Looks like they go up pretty quick. ;) https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10153697012234303&pnref=story

    Don Thomas has been fired by DU

    From the January 16, 2014 article I posted above: The Supreme Court rebuffed Kennedy’s challenge to the stream access law as part of its overall decision. “Kennedy has offered no convincing reason to disrupt what has long been settled constitutional law in Montana,” Justice Mike Wheat wrote...

    Alumacraft Ducker Question...

    Cool, Ron; thanks. That's a way better pic than most of the Retriever photos I've seen. I was fortunate enough to pick up a 1957 Ducker locally this summer for half of what they're going for elsewhere. Thrilled to have it in the armada particularly for the shallow, rocky waters of the Upper...

    What ever happen to an old time poster

    I miss Dave's impassioned replies to a variety of topics in addition to the chuckles I got every time he called me by someone else's name. Haven't heard a peep from him either but I hope he's doing well.

    Alumacraft Ducker Question...

    I believe the Retriever was the only other duck boat Alumacraft made and that was basically a square stern version of the Ducker.

    .22 ammo-NDR

    Our local sporting goods stores have signs indicating a max limit of one 500-round brick per visit but ya wouldn't know it by looking at the empty shelves. I'm not convinced it ever makes it to the shelves.

    Suggestions for Personal Flotation Devices

    I have not yet seen one of these up close but, as they say, the best PFD is one you'll wear all the time and I think these guys are on the right track. Pricey for sure but I hope they push inflatable innovation from other manufacturers as well. http://www.hydewingman.com[url]

    Change is Coming

    We had an amazing push of thousands of snow geese and swans into our area right on the tail of a snow squall Wednesday evening. Between the city lights and the moonlight you were able to see, as well as hear the ruckus, of flock after flock milling over town. Our window of access to smaller...

    Don Thomas has been fired by DU

    Agreed, Pete and Jay. Saying nothing would be a mistake. Sadly, somewhere along the way a widely-held belief has emerged that a boycott or calling for someone's head to roll are the first options in voicing one's difference of opinion...and regarding darned near everything. Ceasing to donate to...

    Don Thomas has been fired by DU

    BINGO. Don's "personal attack" on Mr. Kennedy is nothing compared to what I consider a personal attack on me, my legal access rights as a Montana citizen, and those of many other Montanans. The "other side of the story" regarding Kennedy's challenges to Montana's Stream Access Law...
