What could possibly go wrong???

When I hunted like this in Mobile, where the tides are only ~1-2', I just planted the bow anchor very well, put out enough rode to make sure it stayed stuck, and let her float.

This is a tough situation. Back when local banks were actually local, knowing the bank staff could get you around this. It did for me. BUt times of have changed. Any chance he is eligible for USAA membership, via parent or grandparent? This is a good lesson in modern economics and credit...

Growing up in NE PA, I only caught a true flight of woodcock once, it's amazing to experience. The pup still looks happy to be there!

Wow! Very nice Jode!!

Nice to see the mixed bag, reminds me of Mobile Bay! Whats all them funny looking things with the greenheads in the first pic???

Outstanding, finally someone posts some hunting photos!!! Why was the grouse & woodcock hunting poor this year??

Great story, as always! I'm not a big "dog person" but I still think all of us have a dog that changed their life, or was their best friend, at some point in life.

I have no experience on this topic but had to add that this kind of thread is why we all love the DHBP. New guy comes on with a question that on some sites would generate a lot of pushback and criticism. Not here! Here we have knowledgeable hunters & reloaders, who know loads, the science side...

I really love this design! Great work.

I learned to wear gloves after taking the outer husks off a batch of walnuts to use the husks as trap dye. My fingers were tan and brown for months! We have lots of pecan trees down here but walnut trees are few and far between.

I'll note that my Smokercraft in an older hull (1987) has the center bench remover and a floor installed. Their Alaskan TS DLX 15 is a walk-through center bench hull, very nice looking boat: https://smokercraft.com/showroom/2025/utility-boats/alaskan/15-ts-dlx

Define open water? I hunted out of my Smokercraft for years on Mobile Bay and Mississippi Sound. Deep, wide and stable. Before that I used a Lowe 1440 mv jon, not as deep or stable but performed well in the same waters. https://www.loweboats.com/hunt-fish/jon/tiller/l1440m-jon.html Take a...

How about cutting a slit into a pole noodle, putting the noodle over the drive shaft, then place a couple of tie down straps around the entire rig? Just dont tighten too much or you could bend the shaft.

Nope, comes in a small spray can. Testors Dull Coat. I used it back in the day when I built my flock of 1:48 scale WWII aircraft. It was great to use unless you sprayed in very high humidity and it hazed over the entire topside of your newly completed Corsair. Dont ask how I know.....

Could try Dull Coate before you go with a flat paint???

Sometimes low tech is the best tech.

Yep, Looks like one of Lou's boats. A 22hp mud motor would be way over powered. It's only rated for a 6 hp outboard. Aren't these displacement hulls? Looks like someone set this up to hunt is as a marsh boat. Did they plug the hole for the sculling oar in the stern? Not that it wouldn't work...
