Steve- Ban these guys, I cant take any more of this. These guys make my blocks look like a 3 year olds blob of play dough. J Lawrence. Can you share your painting techniques/steps, I really like the warm-smooth patina look.

No anger here, i just notice how posts are geared towards pumping an item (hmm sounds like a magazine we have all seen), a cause, or slamming a less favorable author. Compellingly obvious and not to the typical nature of this site, no matter who you are in duck hierarchy.

"I personally hope for the worst with this new venture". In this economy the last thing I would want to wish on anyone was for an endeavor to fail. Think of all the people that this endeavor supports (not just the guy you dont like). I wish them the best, who knows they might have a new...

Wow Worth. You know what I like about your writing on the DHBP? You are great at writing posts here to one of your bids for items, or to trump an offed acquaintance, in this case your old nemesis of an editor. Its quite an innovative way to use this site and the graciousness to the new guy in...

Ed - thank you for that, I cant imagine a better member of the STARFISH loving cult being able to sum it up any better. One question though? Will the whale decoys be yellow or straw colored. Bhahahahahahahaa (word used with with written permission and royalty paid to the Sutton sodomizing...

Very cool Pat. I love hearing about people that identify early on a career path they have a passion for. Congratulations for both of you.

Tod. Will that authentic kayak be able to plane in a 6 foot speeds and easily reach 40 mph? If not, park your dream now.

Ewe (you) mean there is no "U" in Kavanaeweugh? Maybe "ewe" were following the wrong hound into the woods? Cant call the movie, not sure if I am up on my Broke-Back Mountain/Flashdance-like flicks like ewe (you) and Sutton....

of god. Kavanaugh only sends me his literary works about strolling in the footsteps of long passed dogs and the roar of the freight engines in his head. Never have a received a viable read like this. Steve, thank you for taking us on this wonderful journey of uncluttered pre-internet purity...

Ok the display will take a coot, mallard or honker

PM Sent Anyone else? I will kick in a deek from my rig for the trouble.

They were pretty set on mallard in that it had to "be a duck the kids could reference". I really appreciate the effort and if no one helps out, just might take you up on it. The kids should know about more than daffy and his wonder-bread eating brethen. D-

I need a drake mallard mount for display at a local school-administered Nature Preserve (Roseville Calfiornia). My son was on a field trip last week and when they brought out the ratty-stuffed bird he stated they "needed a new one that actually looked like a mallard" - which they definitely do...

Did I read this right, easter body painting is coming back the the DHBP? Its been so long. How about a Peeps contest?

Dani- Some landowners lead private hikes and there is non-profit organization called the Middle Mountain Foundation that has access to some of the peaks and areas, they lead a select number of hikes each year as well. If they could eradicate the pigs, the terrain would be in very pristine...

Next time I fly out of town during the day I will take an overhead of the Buttes - they sit all on their own, smack dab in the middle of the valley floor. They are really quite a sight. Fred's camps are now Conde Nast rated - whoopee. Get me your dates and I will see what I can work out for...

Those flowers dont smell well, they almost have a decayed flesh stench, dont plan on giving any to Debbie?

Lots of Turkeys in the Buttes - LOTS. What they really have a lot of are feral pigs, the damage in some areas was unreal. I have a lead on one piece of property, but for the most part, hunting is tough to get access/permission in the Buttes. One issue is historic farmers/ranchers that have had...

Old cattle walls. View of north peak from 1/4 of the way up. Winter wheat. Acorn woodpeckers Anyone know this?

I spent the day hiking one of the world’s most unique geological formations - the world's smallest mountain range, also known as the Sutter Buttes. Located in the middle of the northern part of the Sacramento valley hemmed in by some of the most productive agriculture in the world (also known...
