I just got back last night from my second trip to our camps. We worked to chainsaw a tree off a friends camp and did more cleanup. The crazy thing was finding 2 boats in the marsh. One small flat boat and the other was a Godevil mud boat, they both have probably been in the marsh since...

Whereabouts are y'all Jode? I'm hearing it'll be a month for power to be restored in some areas. We plan on going down this week to work on repairing camps to try to dry 'em back in and keep anything from being stolen. I heard hwy 23 to Venice opened up last night...

Just about everyone I know in S Louisiana has impact from Ida. Roofs, boats, campers, homes all gone. Many lost their places of employment, self employed lost their businesses. They are in bad shape. Our camps are in the Gulf marsh about 18 miles south of Venice, La. They survived 100+...

I just wanted to express my appreciation for the nesting box work Anthony and all y'all do up North! The Wood Duck continues to be the #1 species of harvest here in SC. I maintain nearly 40 nesting boxes down here myself but I'm certain your Northern WODU's make the trek and winter in SC...

Great post Anthony! At 55 years of age I have been blessed with more waterfowl wealth than I could ever imagine. The years of hunting in N. Michigan with my dad and many years hunting with my sons here in SC and Louisiana since they were small children. 13 years with my yellow dog and the...

Before removing carbs pump primer bulb will running at higher throttle. If motor stays running I'd be eyeballing the fuel pump.

Will it run while pumping the primer bulb?

Sounds like carb related issue but consider checking (or replacing) fuel pump (and replace fuel filter) too. If pumping the priming bulb under load causes engine to run properly I'd start with a good carb soak and cleaning and then move to fuel pump.

That's a killer looking rig!!! Hellbender makes a great boat! We have some fellas here in SC that use them.

County line makes a slick rig! Does the ghillie blanket feel pretty durable? That looks like the way to go vs. using raffia grass!

Super easy to make your own Cajun anchor and not too expensive to build, even at today's material prices. https://www.carolinasportsman.com/fishing/inshore-fishing/homemade-cajun-anchor/

Would a Cajun anchor work? We use them in the S. La marsh. Spear them down in the mud and tie off to cleat on the boat. For deep water, give it slack off port / starboard or bow / stern and spear down 2nd Cajun anchor, tighten and tie off.

So sorry for your loss brother. She looked like a great pup and heck of a partner.

I subscribed to his youtube. Great stuff!

That's incredible footage! Nature definitely seems cruel as hawks, falcons, owls, herons, snakes, coons, bass, turtles, etc pick off "our" waterfowl.

JUMP DAY camera is up and running! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z9D-CU-gw4&t=305s

Thought you'd like to see this! A fella here in SC has a camera inside a nesting box and the eggs are hatching. Jump day will be tomorrow morning. Very cool stuff!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH39DmlOfwg

Truly a horrible tragedy. This is a long read but seems to tie the loose ends of a senseless loss. https://www.outdoorlife.com/story/deep-dives/duck-hunters-killed-reelfoot-lake-tennessee/

That's awesome Anthony! As a duck hunter in SC, we appreciate your work!!! I should be able to get out and do some follow up on my boxes down here this week! Hens have been loading them up with eggs!

Folks don't realize how important snow pack is for Spring ponds! I've been praying for it too!
