Our limit is 3 birds. I'm definitely not a wack em and stack em guy, that being said 9 of us were done in under an hour. The birds just wanted in that bad.

This may sound odd from a guy whose current dogs are two setters and a cocker, but I'm a waterfowler at heart. My first dog was a Chessie because of that love and I moved to the state of South Dakota to pursue waterfowl. With Emma's condition I had taken a three year break from chasing the...

Thanks to all, lots of good information. I dug out the tubs storing the old projects as well as the video set I've never watched. I'll see what I can do downstairs. Thanks, Joe

Thanks guys. Would love to see some pictures of a poor man's setup. Ira and Lee, would would be your basic recommended tool list for power free carving. I was seriously considering springing for the foredom but if I didn't it would certainly make my setup easier. Thanks again, Joe

Since about the time I found this site, going on 10 years ago, I've wanted to start carving. I have books, videos, kits and projects in various states of start. After essentially a two-year hiatus from waterfowling, related to some dog health issues I've got the bug bad again and want to get...

This was the last day of the season last year and what proved to be my Chessie's last bird. The drive and desire in this pic epitomizes this dog's life. She influenced my life in a number of ways from the path I've taken in my profession to where I currently reside:

I did a lot of research into this subject when I knew I was going to lose my Chessie Emma. I took a long hard look at all of the breeds mentioned in the thread before settling on the FBECS. I was looking for a smallish, hard-hunting dog that was great in the uplands but would also be passable on...

Ok, this is really picture heavy but I thought a few on here may appreciate, and this bird has taken ducks this season. Last Thursday I was able to spend the day with a falconry friend. The sport is intensely governed and about the only advantage they have over gun hunting in this part of...

I was just getting ready to post this as well. I met Lee through this site going on 10 years ago. He introduced me to SD waterfowling and I moved out here as a result of the friendship. It has been a difficult week for family and friends. Joe

It has been a few years since I've actively been around duckboats.net and thought I'd drop in and say hello. I haven't waterfowl hunted in two years and have recently been rebitten by the bug. A big reason for my layoff was the failing health of my Chesapeake who is suffering from a condition...
