I'm in SC and used to layout shoot divers years ago here until the DNR and power company wiped out our hydrilla. We hunted out of a buddies Bankes one man layout. It wasn't a Kalash layout but it got the job done. Not sure how it'd work for Grey ducks, they're some wary suckers, maybe others...

I loved reading his stories and seeing his pictures! I'm so sorry to see this, he seemed like a great fella. You will be missed Al!

Glad you're killing a few Ted! I'm North of Columbia near Lake Murray. My sons are on Mt. P and James Island. Welcome aboard!

Intentionally blocking a boat ramp not allowing others access after legal access time should be deemed hunter harassment and they should be charged. The evil side of me says to pour sugar in the truck fuel tank and pull valve stems.

That's awesome Larry! I've lost count of the deer my Old Town 119 has hauled out. That's the best way to hunt a deer!

Fun duck to hunt! We seem to be more successful on foggy mornings when they fly best at shooting time vs. 30 minutes before. Numbers are building by the 1000's, prolific breeders, incredible parenting skills too! I put up duck boxes behind our camp in S Louisiana and they use them every...

I just got back from a week in S. Louisiana. Our aerial survey wasn't very good: "The 802,000 ducks estimated during the November 2022 survey for coastal Louisiana and Catahoula Lake was the lowest since the survey began in 1968 (Figure 1). It is 38% lower than the November 2021 estimate...

The kids could have set up 3", 3' or 30' off the corn stubble and into the bean field....it wouldn't have mattered, the farmer (neighboring landowner) was going to make darn sure and ruin the kids and grandpa's hunt. The landowner was in the wrong blowing a gasket and harassing the hunters...

I'm so sorry to see the heartbreaking news. I can only hope and pray to see my retrieving family members again in Heaven.

Prayers for safety for all y'all in FL. 36 hours is going to seem like an eternity for many.

My first lab I had clipped at 7 months ('05), my current lab I waited til he was 2. I heard it was better to wait to neuter until 2 years old for bone / joint development and this lab is now 4 and an insanely strong retrieving machine. I wasn't planning on breeding him either.

That's awesome! I look forward to seeing the finished decoy!

Awesome project! I am in on a camp in S. Louisiana. September teal season is my favorite time of the year, next to big duck season of course! How long does it take to print one head? What are the dimensions of your teal bodies?

I was fishing ahead of this cold front Thursday and checked 3 new boxes I installed 2 weeks ago. Hens started to lay in two boxes and one hen is sitting hard. These early nesters always worry me due to lack of ground cover for ducklings. My partner enjoys checking boxes too. He is both...

Are some States beta testing charging or receiving a small fee for the HIP survey in order to attempt to gather more accurate data and point of sale compliance? If so, is it too soon to tell if this has helped obtain more data of any sort?

I try to emphasize this to many conspiracy theorists who say they "don't want the government to know what they kill". I've been chosen for waterfowl, dove and Woodcock surveys. I've always considered it an honor to be able to contribute.

I'm fortunate enough to be able to drive by 4 of my duck boxes along the shore of our local lake. I saw a couple of pairs on boxes this morning and shot these two from the window of my car. I will never get tired of seeing our State duck and giving them a hand with nesting boxes. This duck...

I attended the Southeastern Wildlife Expo in Charleston, SC yesterday. One vendor had made this tribute sign made in remembrance for those lost. Life is short, hunt more and hug your family a bit tighter every chance you get

Here in SC there was a push to get away from slow growing, albeit long lasting cypress and use pine instead. The use of pine lumber only lasted 3 years. The sun and humidity take a toll on wood down here. The pine boxes that folks painted the exterior are still holding together and the...

We have a lot of folks from SC who hunt OBX / Mattamuskeet. It has hit close to home for many. I believe only one body has been recovered. This is a tribute picture of the 4 young fellas who were on the plane. Absolutely gut wrenching.
