The heck you say... BEST GAME EVER!!!....Let me 'splain. I got a free ride clear from my ranch in the sticks to the VFW for myself and my wife. (No worries about who got stuck driving, and couldn't whoop it up.) At the kick off, along with a tiny $15 fee the bar was free drinks through the...

Tired doggie picture...darn those spooky quail.-Seth

The sire was DC Wildwings' Shameless (Gus) and the dame was Bone Points Kadence (Ziva). I'm not all high speed yet on my AKC this, champion that. My Rhyka is out'a the 2013 "R" litter. I was pretty stoked when I found out Kelly lived just across the valley from me. It turned out my wife works on...

Your pup's look awesome Tim. My family kindly refer's to my pup as the "Kraken." Into and chewing everything, full-on puppy mode :). I'm running with my patiented "buck wild" training system for the first season. Just minimal basic obedience, mimimal house rules and as many wild birds as...

Today's last day of quail season and we are gonna hit it hard. Rhyka is 9 month's old now, she's doing awesome...Seth

Ron Saylor was my carving mentor....when he was a Alaskan Tug Engineer he'd just sit in the engineroom and carve buckets of decoy heads. Then later when he got home he'd do up the bodies. Awesome guy and had a shop to die for. That's a fantastic rig, you're a lucky guy. I still have one of his...

I lived in Sturgeon Bay for three months...I flew right from bootcamp to Green Bay. Our cutter was in the Sturgeon Bay shipyards for our annual haul-out. In fact I got there a few day's before another cutter ran aground and sank..I guess it's a dive park now. Made me nervous for sure, fresh out...

Youse guys... It is possible there are some real life, no holds barred ranchers, who frequent this very site. I bet there are very few on this site who have been armpit deep in as many cow's as I have. I can AI and preg with the best of'em. Imagine a young lad of just eighteen, tired of the...

I got a list of "almost's": 1. Tufted duck (I chased several individals over the course of five years) 2. Falcated duck (I chased him for three years straight but couldn't figure out where he roosted at night) 3. King Eider (I chased him for two years on the same bay) 4. Emperor geese (a...

I'm not a pro boat builder by any means, but with my Brant II, and my Delash sculler I've simply filled chips and dings with Napa Fiberfill. You just sand and feather down the fill, smooth. Then I do the whole hull in Glovit about every other year. I sand her clear down, tape and wipe off all...

Fortune favor's the Brave...its my sig.-Seth ps. there's lots of dead brave folks. *Note to self...pull boat clear up on beach. there's not always a spare boat to steal.

Here's my "stranded" (Goes to Heck Pack)... 1. Road flares!!! (i dont use them as signals, I use them to start fires) It's easy even if your hands are froze. I carry as many as I can. 2. Small tarp, or those thick double sided emergency blankets (not the tin foil ones) 3. I have a fold up...

The second you know your hosed...make a call...it's just a phone call, it ain't a man-card demo. My fellow sailors were under orders to call me day or night for anything...period. Drunk/sober/broke down/upset ...it didn't matter. Call. It made me feel good every single time my crew called me. I...

I miss my chessie, I wish the best dog's never died. Your picture took place for me more times I could count. I'm in the throw's of training my new GWP pup. It get's so hard not to compare. I'm in upland heaven now so I tried something new. Thanks for the pics and memories...-Seth

Many moons ago...shear pin + tide + wind = overnighter on a island in the middle of the Umpqua River.-Seth Freeman ps. My blind bag/boat bag is set up a little different now, even though I had a grand time.

That's sad to hear Worth... My copy of Wildfowl Decoys of the Pacific Coast (every chapter starts with one of his painting's) is one of my most guarded treasures...I'd say even above my guns. You'd be hard pressed not to find one of his prints on a wall in my place. A real West Coast...

Everybody is "Sir, and Ma'am", "Mr. and Mrs. and Miss" to me, even the 16 year old box boy's at the grocery store. Untill I'm otherwise advised Scott...:)I'm 43. Most West Coast scullers are tight lipped, tight nit,....outlaw pirates...Especially, the hunting generation before me, say 1960's...

Don't forget the punt guns and battery boats (where you have a bunch of black powder gun barrels set up to go off at once)...I always felt the MMB scull boats, came from those market hunter lines. Especially the MMB scull boats. They look to me like they were designed to have a big'ole punt...

I'd second the remarks made by Mr. Farris..It's hard work, rowing against wind and tide or current is a major workout. Most guy's only scull a few seasons then hang up the oar. It can be discouraging to row two miles to a raft of sleeping birds and have them bust early, or have a motorboat scare...

The West Coast style of scullboats are generally refered to as HBSB's (Humboldt Bay Scull Boats). They are fair weather boats. You have to constantly monitor the wind. It takes very little chop, or a power boat wake to fill up the cockpit. There are two-man HBSB's but you have to be really...
