Carl, I highly recommend Manitoba, Sask, or Alberta at least one time, I mean 100s of times in your lifetime for waterfowl. Also recommend the drive over flying. Lots of beautiful country and sites. An when spent with other friends it becomes just a great time. Drove from Houston 2 years...

I recommend bringing just a locked hard case for your gun with a soft gun carrier once you are there. Keep shells separate in case. You may only claim 1 case of shells before you have to pay taxes on any extra case. Also i recommend more than one gun to take with you just in case of failures...

You will need to find the closest Port of Entry to get your firearm declaration. This allows you to bring your firearm back into US. I use to live in Fort Wayne, IN and Baer Field Airport could file this paper. Keep it safe and with you because you can use this document for life. Assuming if...

Glad to see your positive and look forward to your hunting experiences in 2017. Regards, Kristan

My wife makes it for me pretty regularly when I am able to go hunting.  This recipe does take time and has been tested over at least 40 ducks in last three years. Glove of garlic, 3 to 4, chopped fine Salt about 2 teaspoon One small onion, cut in half and chop fine Pepper ground Enough...

Phil, I had problems with trailer lights and went through the expense of changing everything out in my truck like you did. The same problem occurred with the lights working randomly. In the end I discovered the grounding strap connected to the trailer was the problem. Ended up replacing the...

Wonderful...Thank you Sir! Regards, Kristan

If you have a fence, wind break or other weedy island in a field it also does not hurt to hide as well as spread the decoys into the breaks. Birds will hold tighter to weedy areas as long as they can see over the area in open spaces. The idea of the Canada spread next to the birds is a great...

Larry, I just moved to North Carolina around Charlotte 10 weeks ago and once I get settled I plan on bringing my BBSB from Kentucky where a buddy has it stored for me. Its a cedar built by Bud Miles I purchased years ago an unfortunately have not hunted it for 5 years when living in Texas. My...

Recommended hunting fields that are fallow first if they have them in the area you are going. Typical waist high fields where the stalks have started to dry with shorter weeds growing in the 1 to 2 foot range. Lots of bug forage for them seems to be the best. If you have access to large...

In my short lived experience of only about 12 years of layout hunting the only deciding variable of the hunt I have truly nearly just stayed homes has been on windless (dead calm), sunny (bright) days. Other than that I have hunted both gray and slight break-up wave pattern color with great...

Bob, Sorry my response has been a long time coming. I recently moved to Charlotte, NC due to new job and have been super busy with move and etc. I know blah blah blah...I will certainly work on putting together a tutorial on how I have built in sequence my foam full bodies. It may be a short...

Nice Canada goose. The foam decoys I have made are similar to your Canada goose. I get 2" pieces of foam and sandwich with hot glue to get 6" to 8" pieces thick. Cut them out similar to how I do cork birds. The heads I also make of foam. I keep the bills very basic in shape and thicker...

Bob that is a great idea and I have tried the same path. I have a few recommendations only because I built some like that 5 years ago using a thick cardboard for liquor bottles and 4mm Corrogated plastic. I epoxied the cardboard before painting but not the plastic. The cons: They tend to be...

My grandfather raised racing/homing pigeons in the later part of his life. He would always have a few in his truck when he would drive around and release them. Of course they always made it back to the farm. While in college I ventured home during the Thanksgiving holiday waiting for opening...

Nate, Update and let us know of your experiences with pictures would be nice of the journey to the Outer Banks. My wife and I are moving to Charlotte, NC here in a few weeks. Since we both have come accustomed to coastal living I am certain our journey will takes us on many of adventures along...

Oh, so sad to hear! Sorry to hear of the loss!!!! Thoughts and prayers.. Regards, Kristan

I would like to thank everybody for the responses and all potential endeavors with the region have been noted. Once the wife and I are settled into the area I will begin my quest for new outdoor, carving, and hunting opportunities. Who am I kidding, I will probably be thinking this first and...

Thanks for the response Kyle...It has been a blessed career opportunity to put me in various states in this great nation. Most of which have been favorable for waterfowl, fishing and other sporting game. I can still remember when in high school I thought the bottom land sloughs of Western...

Since being laid off in the oil and gas in early April I have been blessed with finding a job in the Charlotte, NC area. Am wondering if any carvers on the sight live in the area? I will be moved the first of July. Looking forward to the new opportunity/adventures with the trout streams to...
