Seriously though, good job. I haven't had a mess of fried squirrel in ages. When I was in high school my brother and I were death on the local squirrel population and had our own competition - .22s only and only head shots counted. When we got enough together for the family (6 kids) my Mom...

I've heard they are pretty easy with a 12 ga.[w00t] - is that true?[cool]

Pretty cool Carl. The DHBP and MLB gatherings gave been a highlight of the past 20 years. Here's a pic of the first one I ever went to. Not sure of the date but I believe it's Oct 1999 on Pool 9, Mississippi River. Back row: me, Steve Sutton, Mark Rongers, ? maybe John Rongers, Tom Reder...

Will do Al, I love NM green chili and chilies.

Morning Al, Maybe Rich is asking "what lens do you use for balloons?" As far as cost to ride, my wife and I did a sunrise ride + Champagne brunch over Napa Valley back in '92 I think. Seems to me it was about $100 per person. Yes, a lot of money but really a once in a lifetime event. Pretty...

Hi Al, I'm trying to get out once in a while. I've been doing some bow hunting and even took my second turkey with a long bow this fall. Just returned from a very nice two day hunt with Phil and Otter on one of my favorite places on this earth - Pool 9. He's got quite a pup and I'm looking...

Hi Al, Good to see you on here. Just thinking the other day that I haven't seen much of you lately. Miss your pics. Thanks for sharing your hunt. It's nice when the plan works. Pete

With 10 doz total that's probably enough GE. When I target them I like 3 doz split into two groups plus an equal number of other diver dekes. I'll see what kind of cookies I have time for.

That was awful nice of Jim. You have enough GE decoys or should I bring some? What kind of cookies does Otter prefer?

Phil, More often than not, GEs will only commit when you have GE decoys deployed. Particularly if they are in a flock. Singles or pairs may come in to any diver decoys cause they just want company but not flocks. They are a unique bird in a lot of ways and have become my favorite of all...

I have seen cedar strip canoes of that length made into a coffee table with a glass top that looked very nice. Maybe some miniature bird carvings set around the inside or almost anything for that matter. I'm not sure I fully understand your plan. Are you thinking of using fiberglass cloth on...

I'm sure that's what it was Phil [cool]

I was wondering how you were going to get in and out of it in anything over knee deep water. How about a std. boat ladder, something like this...

Since this has been up for a while, I'll start. Understand that I am not a prolific carver but have made a few for myself in both dark and tan cork. The number one reason we make decoys is to toll ducks into our spread, the second reason is to please our own eyes. Beyond those two criteria...

Ditto on the BB3.

Haha, I thought I was pretty clever.

No Dave, bought it after reading about it on the Refuge - Iowa forum[cool]

Good job Phil, you got him started right. Except for burdock I've never had much of a problem with burrs on my chessies. My old Golden was another story, every hour in the field was an hour picking burrs. One product that helped was No More Tangles marketed for little kids. Used a whole...

I hunted out of a BB2 with a 25hp a number of times including big, rough water. I always felt safe. Being a displacement hull you'll never get anywhere fast but you will arrive safely. Because of those experiences, when I was ready to build my own I opted for the planing hull version, the...

When they ask what flavor I want I tell them - "Bourbon" . Apparently there isn't enough demand because they never have it.
