Great link! Thanks!

The "Sound Beginnings" DVD by Jackie Mertens is a definite. Also loom at Evan Graham's DVD series for more advanced training.

I always wonder how people find things like this. Did you type "amazing music and beatiful photography" into Google? What a great piece! I spent some time in and around Comfort, Texas, northwest of San Antonio. It was stunning scenery.

Looks to be a Zack Taylor Wigeon. The other possibility is and Armstrong Broadbill built from plans.

I can't quit repeating "ouch", over and over in my head...

Thanks for the picture tutorial. I never knew how much work went into making that type of decoy!

This thread is a perfect reminder to me of why I despise subjective judging events; decoy contests, ice skating, gymnastics, duck call contests...at the end of the day all you are getting is a small group of people's opinions of your work. Factor in the "how" of the judging, and someone is...

Mike, I think maybe you meant 6-48. Most shotgun beads are threaded in: 6-48, 5-40 or 3-56.

LMAO!!! I rest my case!!!

Great shots Dick!!!

Jim, that's what I do. In some situations, I've had my dog and his blind as much as 25-30 yards behind the layout blinds and hunters. I think his field of view is much better and he is less inclined to spook birds with head movement while watching birds work. Kane is only 84 lbs. in working...

I care too much for my dog to even consider having him in the footbag of a layout blind with the muzzle blast of a shotgun right over him. That being said, a separate blind for the dog is the way to go. Get one now and set it up in your living room and have him go into it with the "kennel"...

I'm no expert, but I found the video "Sound Beginnings" by Jackie Mertens to be extremely helpful with basic obedience and so forth for puppies. Making the puppy sit and wait for food is an excellent technique. My dog at the age of almost 5 will still sit until he is given the "OK" to eat...

Happy birthday, hope it's a good one for ya!!!

Beautiful photos! The mallard drake in the background of the bird landing is a decoy pattern waiting to be carved! As for the C5, do you have a lot of the mute swans there? I know of a couple states where they have an eradication program...

Congrats Josh. It's a great accomplishment in it's own right, but more so with a Chessie. I think there are so few because there are so few handlers brave enough to be up to the challenge!

Nice hunt Greg! In a way I wish we had huntable populations of snow geese here.

I've re-read Bob's post about the boats he has experience with several times, and still don't see where he wrote that his boat failed and almost killed him? If this site had it, I'd insert the scratching my head smiley here...

Dave, if they are the chips in the bag that are about "mulch" consistency, you should be OK. I buy mine at Lowe's in the seasonal dept. As for your grates/expanded metal, Spray them with PAM when you are seasoning them and spray them with PAM before every smoking mission. They should...

I put my list of rub ingredients in an earlier post. I'll try and put an actual rub recipe together with quantities.
