Roy, I understand what you are saying about the potential danger still hunting/mobile stand hunting on public land. I wouldn't do it in Michigan during the 15 day rifle season there. Where I now live in NC, I can legally hunt with my muzzle loader from October 3-January 1. Thus, hunters are...

Guys... and Dani, I have a confession to make to my Duckboats.net comrades: I have wandered from our passion into deer hunting. I have no good excuse save the fact that there are more deer than ducks in the Piedmont of North Carolina. And many more places to deer hunt than duck hunt. The latter...

Dave, Don't let our Forum Buddies interfere with your main occupation of being retired. The next thing you SJS will suggest you build an ash sneakbox for him since you are so "ash blessed." Damn. But isn't it sad to see the ash forest dwindle and dwindle. Such great trees. Be well, Larry

Dani, My heart was in my throat reading this. I am relieved with you but not as much as you. Great news. Larry

I began using OnX this fall, primarily for deer after choosing not to use it previously. Here are a few things I really like: 1) The ability to see who owns the private land next to public land along with their address. It makes it easier to track down home owners if you want to speak to the...

Dani, What a great memory for your to have and share with us. Thank you. Sometimes going back through the times we've shared with those now gone helps make them feel closer to us even in their absence. I hope you find satisfaction in sharing the trip with us as it brought us not only...

A Blessing of the Fleet For the 2021 Hunting Season Author's suggestion: I encourage you to walk through this blessing out in the marsh or near the water to give you the proper setting. Go through this slowly, giving each part time to sink in. Let it be like a private prayer service for you...

I attended a dozen times while I lived in Michigan, but it's a fair commute from my current home in Apex, NC. :) Larry

This is common in Michigan, especially on Saginaw Bay. Larry

Joe, Thanks for the heads up about the new museum. Some friends and I will hunt the OBX again in January. We shall put the museum on our list to do. Larry

Scott, I think the question marks are a Mac thing. You have to go back into your original post and edit it, replacing the question marks with the proper punctuation. Larry

Brad, Where are you in NC and at what high school? I live in Apex. Larry

Keep that woman Nick! Congratulations! Larry

Regarding ticks and chiggers: I found this video from Wiggy's Wilderness helpful. His videos have a lot of down to earth, earth sense about them. Pay attention to the simple but effective way he creates a barrier so that ticks cannot enter your exposed skin. Larry...

Guys (and Dani), Carl's recent post, "It Must Be Summer" reminded me that I had not posted in a while. Dave Diefendierfer's post on "stealing" two Poke Boats reminded me that I added a new vehicle for hunting, fishing and camping pursuits: a 2008 4Runner. I have a 2002...

Dave, What a find! $400 for TWO? You and Maria enjoy your time together. Larry

Dani, How in the world do you know or find out the names of all these beautiful flowers? It looks like spring is the time to be in Florida. I certainly couldn't last a summer. Larry

Guys and Dani, I live in Apex, NC. What was once a country town is now gentrified with expensive houses and subdivisions. Occasionally, however, an old farmstead hangs on with an old fart still doing his thing. I was driving down a local two lane road when I did a double take about a...

Guys and Dani, Last week my friend Ron and I returned to the Watauga River in eastern Tennessee near Elizabethton. I didn't take as many pics as I should have, but here are a few. Driving on highway 321 between Boone, NC and Tennessee you run across small mountain streams. Spring in the...

I'd be interested in a picture. Never heard of a Lund Retriever. I have a 16' Lund Laker which is not well known but nothing like the blank I draw when I hear "Lund Retriever." Larry
