Welcome aboard SJ! That layout looks great!

The current telemetry studies are amazing. As technology advances the data collection for waterfowl is so cool to follow. I don't hunt for bands but after 48 years of hunting ducks I have never harvested a migratory bird with a band. I have harvested local two Blackbellied Whistling...

You can leave the head or one fully feathered wing attached for meet transportation requirements. The Cajuns I've hunted with used a homemade 6.5 hp motorized plucker and pluck their ducks down to the wingtip, singe the duck over gas stove and then process. When they were finished the...

Thank you for your input Brad! Who is doing the study to waterfowl's response to disturbance? I'm curious as to how and when they measure disturbance as well as what type of disturbance(s). I'm interested in these findings. Thanks again!

How do we grow and retain hunters without hunting success? I work with our Take One Make One program here in SC. We hunt ducks and turkey so I am all from growing hunter numbers but I'm concerned about retention. How do we retain hunters with dwindling hunting success. I understand...

I bet that thing can tote a lot of weight too with those flared sides!

We sit or stand. I added spud holes to mine last summer and spud into the mud to stabilize the pirogue due to some deep water hunts and hunting an 80 lb chocolate lab. My boys have been raised in these boats. We push pole across mud flats and paddle deep water. These little boats are...

Here's the pirogue pronunciations I've heard. It seems to be based on whether you were raised North of I-10 or South of it. Most of my buddies have webbed toes from being raised South of I-10. LOL Pee Rog Pee Row Pee Rogue Peer Rog Peer Row Peer Rogue

Dale is doing an incredible job teaching others about traditional Louisiana waterfowling from homemade decoys, calls, dugout pirogue, duck storage barrel, lanyards, etc. Very cool stuff. I fell in love with Louisiana 24 years ago. I gave up my mud motor several years ago and now hunt almost...

In Louisiana every jon boat seems to be called a bateau. Great looking little rig you got there regardless!!!

That looks like a gorgeous place for Woody ducklings! I manage 40 or so boxes down here in SC. I took over and rehabbed many 25-30 year old cypress boxes that are still cranking out ducklings. Fun winter-summer project and due to early and late nesters I get 2-3 broods out if I clean nest...

A tragedy that could have been avoided. Horrible thought.

I'm no computer guru but I did see that after you commented on the post.

Break the dam in the afternoon, shoot the beavers as they try to build back that night. Those suckers will bury a recorded sound of running water in an attempt to make it stop. Worlds best engineers. I'd use a Q beam and a shotgun with 00 buckshot.

If an inflatable life jacket fails there is nothing to fall back on to save your life. If you're unconscious the manual override on the inflatable is worthless too. In an automobile, if your brakes fail, you hopefully still have a seatbelt and airbags. I wear a commercial life vest, whistle...

Surface drive mud boats ARE a problem, loud or not, they are destroying public waterfowl opportunities. Folks up North don’t have near the number of mud boats, yet This was last week in S La. I owned a longtail and a homemade straight drive mud motor. I quit using it about 5 yrs ago. 4...

My son sold a Berretta A300 to a young fella here in SC. He went and got it cerakoted. A week later he capsized in his Gheenoe running a lake in Alabama (I'm assuming Guntersville). The gun is at the bottom of the lake but he survived. I told him guns can be replaced, he can't be. God...
