I have 4 or 6 of the old LL Bean coastal cork Mallard decoys that have seen better days. I was wondering if any of the masters of the art of decoy painting in this group would be willing to take on the job of repainting them for me? Either as Mallards or Black ducks. I would gladly pay a fair...

Has anyone turned a small Boston Whaler into a duck hunting boat? I saw a hull advertised here locally for a 11'-6" Boston Whaler and got to thinking that it might make a good duck hunting boat for one guy, and possibly a dog. Of course it was pending by the time I called about it :( Fred

I’ve used them on Canada geese here in Indiana. They performed well. Being Indiana though I never shot enough of them to weigh in on gun damage. I have to agree with JasonM though that most conversations end up talking about gun damage. I have to wonder though how many people shoot them and have...

I’m very sorry to hear of the passing of both Jim and his father. I never had the pleasure of meeting either gentleman but you meet some amazing people on the forums. I have to say that Duckboats is one of my favorite forums. A great bunch of people here. Prayers for his family and loved ones 🙏

I think I’m just going to run 7 Mallard decoys this year and avoid the tangled mess.

I have a Remington Sporting 28 (1100). I haven’t taken it waterfowl hunting yet. I did take it to South Dakota pheasant hunting a few years ago. Honestly, I did better with it than I did with my 12 gauge. I’m looking at buying some TSS loads for it this year. There’s a guy in Sterling, Michigan...

I agree with Eric. Keep it rounded. It will be more comfortable on your back than a straight edge to lean back against. Fred

It's beginning to look a lot like duck season. The leaves are starting to fall. There's the smell of crops being harvested in the air. The Sandhill cranes have begun to make their way south to their wintering grounds. Deer season opened today here in Indiana for the archery deer hunters. In...

I greatly appreciate the offer; however, it's a little too far away. I'm in central Indiana. Thank you! Fred

I would definitely use planking as opposed to plywood. Just my thoughts.

I’m looking for a Barnegat Bay Sneakbox boat or a similar type of boat. Please message me or email FredMcIntire@Gmail.Com with pictures and asking price. Thanks Fred

....sending prayers for Tom and his family during this difficult time. I never knew Tom; however, from reading everyone's kind words about Tom, I know that he was a great guy.

I think I've said it before but I just have to say it again.... In reading the stories, the responses to those stories, the classified ads...., it all speaks volumes about the quality of the character of each and every one of the members of this group. This is, without a doubt, my favorite...

Hello Tony, Having been a little inactive with my waterfowl hunting over the past year or so, I didn't realize that you had sold Homer Decoys.... Hope all is well with you,

You might want to consider a prop guard for the 60hp outboard. It would allow you to get through the stumps and rocks without damage to the prop. High Strength Composite Not Plastic 13" Diameter Prop Guard 40-65HP Motors https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HN8NWKQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_oAPnCbW2N7GRC

Good evening, I appreciate all the input. I?m going to hunt them tomorrow and see how they do. I did buy a piece of 1?x2? oak while at Lowe?s today just in case I need to put a keel on them. I appreciate the compliments. They are very nice decoys. I?m sure someone would probably keep them...

I have a question regarding 2 cork decoys that I have. I'd like to hunt these decoys; however, they have no keel attached to the bottom. I'm not so much worried about self righting but I have limited experience with cork decoys. Will these need a keel attached to float correctly, or were...

Guys and Gals, Having decided to go into Striper fishing in a big way this year, I'm reluctantly listing my Triton 1650DS ( Duck Special ) for sale. This is an all welded boat. The package includes the boat, trailer, and 25 HP Yamaha outboard. The boat is in excellent condition. This is a...

I bought an outdoor patio lounger cushion just for this purpose; however, I sold my MLB boat a few months ago in favor of a Triton 1650 Duck Special. I'm afraid I may regret selling the small boat. It was so easy to pull in, unhitch the small boat, and wheel her back into her parking space. I...

Once again that Sanford guys steals the show ! :) Thanks for sharing all of that great information Steve. I really appreciate it !. I would hunt my Higbee style boat with the dodger up. It is almost imperative to have some type of insulation on the floor between you and the cold hull if...
