Derek: how much does a finished decoy weigh?

This thread is getting awfully meta for a hunting website.

Mid-50's here in Colorado....Our part of the state, at least. At least we know that whatever birds do arrive from the north will find our climes very much to their liking.

Well said, Gary. Sentiments like this are exactly why I respect so many from this site.

Hey Tom: Oops, my bad on the composition of that post. What I should have said was that if I ever need to, I could unravel my lanyard and have a long length of cord to work with. Going back over my post, i certainly seems as if I was saying that I was left with this length of unused cordage...

Good morning all. With the recent spate of great stories, exquisite photos and inspiring projects, I feel like the rube, bringing the room down a notch. Regardless.... I've recently been messing around with making my own call lanyards out of P Cord and wonder about moving onto constructing a...

As usual, wonderful pictures. A couple seasons back, I watched a pair of falcons work a blob of blackbirds. One of them kept the group tight, the other stayed high and make repeated dives through the mass. What was most visually striking was the group's ability to go from a single mass to a...

Interesting post.... I'd say that the average age out here in Colorado would be real close to others' guesses, but I am always seeing kids -and I mean that in the early-teen sense of the word- out and about. Now, I'd add that in my seventh and eighth grade classrooms, I am constantly impressed...

Dang, that's a cool looking setup. First class.

I'm a chessie owner, but I'd love to hear some feedback in regards to the griffon. I have met exactly one and his owner (in CT) used him over planted pheasants and for seaducks. So howzabout it? Any Griffon supporters out there?

Howdy all. I'm posting this query for a buddy, a big buddy, whose 6'6, 270 lb self needs a bag for an upcoming elk trip. He's normally the type to head to wallyworld and pick up the whateversthecheapest model, but I've been preaching the Gospel of Gear. As a reluctant convert, he at least...

Al, I did. What got me thinking about this was the Gore-Tex/Sitka line of clothing that was developed for deer/elk hunters. I belong to an online marketing group for WL Gore, and they have been using that forum for experimenting and testing the actual gear. While it is now very public stuff...

I suppose, my question was in the 'all things being equal' sense. One can effectively decoy birds with Clorox bottles and house paint in October, but come late Jan., things better be real right in the spread to get the educated birds to swing by. It was the latter situation I had in mind. I too...

In looking through the new cabelas, I was again reminded of the flambeau claim surrounding the effectiveness of UV reflective paint on their dekes. Does anyone out there have any thoughts as to the actual effectiveness of this claim?

Paul, Too bad I cannot use your excerpt in my grammar lessons ;) -insert juvenile snickering- "I have taken two deer that were previously shot. One had 00 buck in the brisket and another had a healed scar from a broadhead high in the shoulder. I was hunting with a friend who shot a deer that...

Your pics never cease to amaze. The level of detail in that first shot, of the rufus female, was amazing! Thanks

It's not so much a hunting regulation, but an aspect of our state's navigable waters and public access to those waters.... In Colorado, a landowner owns not only all the land leading up to the existing waterline, but they own the banks and bottom too. The flowing water, however, is public...

Thanks for the thinking guys. Looks like I have several options, depending on what gear I can borrow. Many thanks to all. Last questions: is it sufficient to simply get chunked bait down to depth? What about live lining and drifting?

lou: the little spinny icon keeps spinning and spinning....So i guess we have a dead link. I'll give it a shot tomorrow and if still no luck, I'll get back in touch. and man, you are always so dang quick on the offers of help, so thank you. Again.

As an aside: Am I the only one seeing "4294967295" as the number of replies to this thread? Certainly raised my eyebrows.
