My YLM has retrieved several hundred geese over the last three seasons. I call him the "Ray Lewis, (linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens) of retrievers". He does exactly as you described on cripples. Literally pounces on their backs if they are doing as you described, or he just runs through...

Very cool when you get a first timer on birds and they are hooked...

The upswept nose on the Higbee looks like it would make it very seaworthy...

John Taylor is a World Goose Calling Champion, and World Goose Calling Champion of Champions. He knows a little about goose calls and goose calling...lol. As long as it is tuned to your liking and you can run it, it should serve it's purpose well. If you are looking for a magic call that will...

In the beginning, the owner of the company known as "Wrangler Boats", Tom Ayers, built the "Duck Wrangler" boats for the owner of the company now called "Duckwater" Boats on a subcontract type basis. It wasn't until later that the company now called "Duckwater" actually started building their...

You'll need three men, a boy, and a crane to load that on the gunwales of your tender. That boat weighs about 260 lbs as I recall. I've personally towed one, with the cockpit cover on, at 34 mph on GPS...

PJ, where are you located? Curious where the bird was harvested. A friend of mine killed a double banded mallard a few weeks ago and the bands were so old only the "ARD" and a number "1" could be read on the reward band. The other band was worn smooth...

For this particular Devlin boat it means "Black Brant". When people refer to "BBSB" they are typicaslly referring to the "Barnegat Bay Sneak Box".

Congrats to Thomas! Was he by chance using one of your calls Eric?

Top notch job on everything!!!

Gene, that new camo job looks really good! The ducks at Skeeter ought to be oblivious to it...

Everyone is spot on with the staking being the issue. I'm a huge Remington fan, and have several 870's, 1100's, and 11-87's around. I staked my shell latches in a couple guns with a Stanley nail set and a hammer. I screwed a piece of 2x4 to my bench for the receiver to rest against during the...

If you want to keep the gun intact, or factory original, get an aftermarket barrel or buy a used one off one of the auction sites and keep the original barrel un-tampered with. You can probably find a used barrel with choke tubes for less than what it would cost to modify yours. The old 30"...

I would speculate that a conventional transom set up versus the original Devlin design could give MORE freeboard, due to the additional hull displacement.

Congrats on a successful maiden voyage. I look forward to pictures of your set up...

Steve, Because I have the utmost respect for Eric Patterson, and the member community here at Duckboats.net, I will refrain from shredding your lies into little pieces in a way not acceptable here. Your methods of personally attacking are classic juvenile behavior from someone whose position...

Duck Wrangler Boats Inc. was not shut down and a new company incorporated under the name Duck Water Boats. It was a name change only, under the original articles of incorporation. Here are the photos of Dennis's repair in progress as described in his last post:

I'm not sure if "congratulations" is really in order...accepting a moderating position for an Internet forum today is akin to volunteering for a suicide mission...lol. Best of luck to you Chuck, and I'll try not to be too much of a pain to deal with.

Duck Wrangler and Duck Water are the same company; all the owner did was file a name change with the Secretary of State here in Ohio.

Chris, I didn't miss your point. But you might have missed mine. Dennis is showing people about his personal experience with his boat. And essentially, mostly he is getting berated for it. I find it interesting that people are so quick to condemn the owner of the boat and question him in...
