Sutton- These are great. I like the pheasants on the tank - Dori likes the last one - send me a jpg if you can, it is good enough to boot my current screensaver .... PS: how about the poop, i need some poop to finish it off, its like having a fluffer and no finish!!!

Dave- I have plenty, shoot me a PM. Derek

Bob- I enjoy seeing your frond blocks. I have a huge rig of carved frond gunners that i hunt over. I love the way they are all different and you can play with the varied shapes and sizes. Steve Sanchez here on the site and I are cranking out a fairly large number of them right now for hunting...

I would prefer one of the first from a new carver or one from a friend.

Sutton - In kind honor dear sir - this photo is just not right, could you please photoshop in some bird crap.

So Ballard, what is the thinsulate rating for that boot? Be careful - some Pro-staff, goatee clad - black hoodie wearing gang might think this is actually cool new duck gear and clad it out in mossy-oak for next years line of tranformer duckwackage gear. So much for barrel stickers, hell they...

what is it about Jack using the word Torpedoed that gives the no visual recognition point to an actual submarine? I keep hearing "dropping the C---'s off at the pool" in my head (with a Sean Connery accent from the sub movie)...

Actually I saw first hand what they eat in Washington - they curl up on a golf course and eat coffee dipped scones from the fat little pudgy fingers of the nearest bus crossing guard. And then they lay down dead and pose on a piece of driftwood. I think that will pretty much wrap it up.

Jay- neat pics, I really like the fish. the bottom trout would be neat paited in watercolors.

but was the hotel a conde' nast approved lodging facility - you know I would want to know. Bwhahahaaha

Kris- When I want heavy cotton duck/canvas, I buy it at a retail fabric store like Joanne's. You can use the cotton duck tarps from Home-repo/Lowes as well. Some of the first blocks - I did in heavy burlap - they expanded really well but did require a bit of sanding to shave the leaked foam...

CK- I grew up using those types of blocks. For huge spreads they work great as filler. I would prefer that style (like a "t") to the speaders and silos that many use. If I remember I will take some pics of some deeks I made back in my teens.

We have fronds, cork, cedar, foam and canvas deeks. Before we know it someone here on the site is going to post up some authentic-Lovelock cave blocks they have whipped out of tules. Neat idea with the seaweed – kind of has a Green-LEED certified slant to it. If you tell me the wood was salvage...

Matt- Dont use plywood unless it is marine ply. I use 1" thick pine boards. My first batches of deeks were made with drop clothes and they worked out fine, as long as they are canvas. I typically get a bucket of hot water and wet out the canvas before stretching and stapling it on the frame. It...

Depends on the size, I have been able to get 6-7 deeks out of a can - all large sizes. Its really just a learning curve that you will likely waste a bit of time and $ on at first - but a fun project that you can adjust to your specific needs.

Great idea Lou. Covered in tules and little bugs. My wife couldnt figure out where all the little bugs in her Expedition were coming from - must have hitch-hiked on my gear from the tule runs. I stayed mum.

Big points Bill - I believe it was one of the last ww2 ships used actively (Persian Gulf). I will try and post up more pics tonight o the fleet - lots of neat history. There are a bunch of the "Cape" boats there as well, I'd like to learn more about their history. Ryan- I stand when running...

What an interestingly odd opener this year, unlike any I have ever had. It all began with it being the 2nd time in over 28 seasons not hunting opening weekend with my old man. The morning started bad with me driving 40+ miles with the gas cap off the boat tank, basically filling the tub full of...

How does one score for Boone and Crockett?
