    January Bluebills...

    Wonderful pictures and memories of your love in some of the basic things in life that make it so memorable for me, thanks for the photos. Some never get to experience those moments...The bluebill is my duck of choice to chase but the Texas prairies do not offer that as a common bag for me on my...

    OK brain trust.... motor question

    Not exactly but the main motor does push your boat through the water while your kicker just hangs there...Every wave you hit and vibration made from naturally driving you boat with your main motor will cause your other motor the kicker to be bumped and bounce. Also to mention any gas in the...

    OK brain trust.... motor question

    You may have a problem that may be induced by vibration during the season. If the tank is made of a Polyethal or HDPE based plastic there is natural degradation of this type of plastic relative to vibration which is compounded by weather extremes that induce differentials in pressure. This...

    Cold weather clothing

    I stop wearing any high tech fabrics that have been on the market for nearly 20 years. For waterfowling I wear nothing but wool from head to toe. Only my base layer is not wool, I wear silk. Base Layer: Cabelas Silk tops and bottoms Pants: I have both Filson wool pants and various wool...

    Definition of torture

    The lease this year has not had water. The farmer is just now taking out the second cut rice. The only birds we have taken are pintails which are dry feeding the fresh cut fields with the specks. Regards, Kristan

    A Redhead for Thelma

    Congrats on the Redhead... I deliberately tried to get out of work tomorrow because barometric pressure is dropping slightly for Tuesday morning but too many meetings in the morning. Regards, Kristan

    Definition of torture

    Mark, I know that is mental torture knowing you should be hunting. But at least you have two things going for you. One your in a heated vehicle with no mosquitos and two your not stuck in a Texas Rice Field mud pit wondering where you took your last step to find you hip waders that were...

    2014 Delta Marsh Rig...

    Fabulous, Awesome, Breathtaking, Admired Rig! Just to think of a few that pop in my head after observing your pictures. Are you speaking of Portage Le Prairie, Manitoba when you speak of the "Delta Marsh"? Regards, Kristan

    floater goose storage

    If you hunt less than 4 feet of water I would recommend a Texas Rig any plastic decoy you hunt. Make sure if you are rigging a Texas Rig on geese you use 6 oz and greater weights. Regards, Kristan

    Hunting License Fees

    1-Texas Lifetime License (Hunting): $1000 If I would have bought the Lifetime License in Kentucky ($600 @ time) when I was 12 it would have paid for itself before I graduated high school. I have paid 5 times that much in just 15 years of living out of state for out-of-state small game...

    Monkey wrench and a pair of pliers...

    Pat send some of that rain south, you can keep the carp. I salivate about having 5 inches of rain because it would keep the 2nd Cut rice fields full most of the season. We only have about 250 of 750 acres in water. Would like to see more fields in sheet water about ankle to calf deep...

    What's the best knot?

    Terminal Tackle Knot, Pitzen Knot or Greypt Knot are the knots I like to use with tarred line if I am wanting a knot that I literally have to cut-off to re-tie. Same knots I use when tying braided line for fishing as well depending on the size of tackle used. Seat line by wetting before making...

    Goose choke?

    For years I used the factory Steel Modifed choke for my SP10 using Ts through 2 shot. Then several years ago I started shooting a long range classic Patternmaster shooting only 2 shot. Last season I shot only Hevi-Metal 2s through my 20 gauge with an IM Carlson choke or long range pattern...

    Teal

    I see spotted numbers of cinnamon throughout the season. Though not in large numbers like the blues or greens. They do tend to migrate very early and we tend to see them in numbers the last part of season on the trip back. The last part of season several were killed off the lease. I shot...

    Teal

    There is a 750 acres lease in Lissie Tx. It cost roughly 500 a season. You can shoot all species listed most of the season. You might know this guy that can put you in the right spots throughout the season. You might have hunted with him many of times. I hear he is a great shot with the 20...
