My 390 from wally world back in 2003 was the best waterfowl-related purchase i ever made. Period.

Fred, I am here in south Tampa but I havent bought a license or broken out the decoys since I moved down in early 2019. The only ducks I have seen on the bay are bluebills. With the 1 bird limit for most of the season, and all the other boat traffic, plus a lack of time to scout and learn the...

I travel by commercial air a lot, for business 8-10 times a year, to Japan 4 times, and Germany once. I’ve had some uncomfortable flights but never felt unsafe. Flew in a small plane once from Central Alabama to central PA. It’s was fun, sorta. But at this point in my life I don’t think I’d fly...

Interesting, how far off was center of pattern between shells & chokes? I assume by your comment, enough to warrant adjusting the sight.

Camron, glad you posted this adventure! Keep working at it, you'll get her back in shape and sneaking up on ducks in no time. BTW, "in no time" around the DHBP ranges from days to years!

Big bucks are smart, that one probably spent every fall hanging out on your property once deer season opened! One hell of a buck by any ones standards

Yep, I know. But I just don’t have time to spend driving and scouting like I did back when I learned how to hunt the Mobile area. I got spoiled having all that huntable public lands and waters!. And with kids in college, spending $$ on guides is not a thing. I’ll just live vicariously through...

I bet Mr Sanford is! He’ll reply soon I imagine.

Zip ties, duct tape and baling wire, all yah need for most projects.

Yep! He’s on here.

Interesting reading all around, thanks for posting everyone! Please keep the stories and experiences coming.

Does moving to Tampa count as "retiring"? It was pretty much cold turkey for me. If I was back in Mobile, I'd jump right back in. Maybe even deeper. But for now, I am content to live duck hunting vicariously through this community and enjoy the great fishing down here. I was telling a colleague...

Jeff, this is a really strange weather pattern! I am going to try to get my winter garden in this weekend, sugar snap peas, some japanese squash, maybe some turnips/beets.

I think I'd cut my losses and go sit by the fire for the rest of the day!

35 in Tampa this morning, below freezing just inland & north of us. 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶 Saw it was 19 just north of Birmingham, AL. Snowing where i grew up in PA. How cold were y'all and who's hunting the backside of the front???

I love it! Yup. My 20' CC looked huge on the trailer. 15-20 miles out in the Gulf, not so much!

some nice looking decoys!

Makes sense. Saw the same thing with ruffed grouse growing up in NE PA, dry spring was best for production.
