Guys, I look at FaceBook about once every couple months. I just happened to look today and saw this post from Mark Rongers, regarding a fire in his home garage/shed. He lost boats, a canoe all his decoys etc. Mark's attitude, as usual for this good man, is notable. Larry Dear Facebook...

RF, Your photo reminded me of spring migration pics I took when I lived in the Detroit area. These photos, mostly of cans with a few redheads thrown in, are from the north end of Lake St. Clair some years ago. I still get a thrill of looking at these pics. Someone mentioned they never get to...

Ben, I've been to the Grand Teton/Yellowstone area twice, many years ago. That corner gets all the publicity. And the skyrocket high real estate follows. The Miracle Mile and Golden Reef of the North Platte are world renown for their trout fishing. An "overlooked" area is from Laramie west...

Thanks for taking us along Dani. Great story and trip. Quail and woodcock. Wonderful. Larry

Guys, I posted a sneak box for sale in classifieds for Bob Petrisch, a forum member. Larry

John, I don't know where you are located but I know of a Busick layout in northern Michigan that is for sale. The Busick is a great layout boat. Contact me if that's in driving distance to you. Larry Eckart

Guys (and Dani), My 16' Lund came with a great trailer by the Bear company in Missouri. The trailer is larger than needed for my boat but I love the 14" tires and heavy frame. It provides a smooth ride down the road. It is a heavy well-made beast of a trailer. The frame of the trailer is...

Joe, This will fun to watch your work and tales of the boys' hunts. I had a 13' Whaler on Hilton Head Island. It came with the side console that severely limited the room. Tiller is the best way to go. Pick attached shows how I dressed it with a homemade blind. I chose not to paint it so that...

Thank you Eric for your service to this family. Larry

Merry Christmas Dave and all our Duckboats.net friends, Larry

Rick, Those are two gorgeous photos of northern Michigan. Well done. Larry

Done. Larry Eckart Eric: you should know by now all you have to do is let us know. Larry

Lovely day Dani. Some people would wonder: "All that for one woodcock?" Such people just don't understand. Thanks for the story, Larry

Dani, As I've said before, you are a great writer and photographer. I'm always glad to see your posts. Larry

In These Times, The Gift of Woods and Waters Guys and Dani, "In these times." How weary we are of hearing this over and over and over. Covid, election, unemployment, empty shelves, lines waiting to be tested, lines waiting to pick up food. This year has been a test of our mental...

Ben, I also chose not to go duck hunting for the NC November opener. Didn't want to fight the crowd. I went squirrel hunting earlier in the week. A wonderful time to be in the woods and plunk a few for the table. Your son is lucky to have you as a father. Larry

Vince wrote: While eating at a cafe the waitress asked us where we were from? PA we told her. " I went east once. How the hell do you folks live with all those trees. Ya can't see anything. Made me claustrophobic." Hilarious!! For me, I went to Arizona once. Cactus are interesting but how...

Rob et al, What a subject to gather the hopes and dreams of us all. Rob is blessed to have a wife who is willing to go along with his Christmas Retirement List. In my first read of your post I missed the sentence that said, "cold is preferred." That's pretty funny. You are already in the...

Bill, If your first choice is a Grumman Sports Boat then I would stick with that. I don't know what state you are in but Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota are the best places to find them. And if you find one, you will have to jump on it. You might want to check in on the Waterfowl Forum on...
