Bill, The Sportspal canoe has long been loved by duck hunters especially in the Michigan/Ohio area. Wide and stable, it makes a nice platform for a hunting canoe. One of my friends has used his so long I call it "Tecumseh" after the fierce Indian warrior. Because it's so wide, it doesn't paddle...

Dani, Regarding your questions. 1) They would have to tow the boat away. My motor has a key which I take with me. And the motor is locked on the boat at all times. I am not so far that I couldn't hear a boat come forth. Nevertheless, I suppose it would be possible for low life duck hunters to...

Hilarious Scott. Glad the barrel incident ended without any harm. Rails and ducks are a great combination. Larry

No I did not apply for a swan permit Ben. I did apply for a Turkey permit on Jordan Game Land. Those seem to be as hard to get as a banded Canvasback. Hope you are well, brother, Larry

Two Victories on Opening Day This was my first year celebrating Opening Day in North Carolina. I was here last year, but as a new resident had not yet solved the "where" of hunting. I was excited about this season as I purchased this summer a 23-year-old 16' Lund Laker to facilitate my...

Best time of the year! Larry

Guys and Dani, I'm a bit late getting this annual prayer for the fleet out. Wednesday is opening day of the NC season that is split into three parts. In addition to the traditional parts of this prayer/blessing, I encourage you to remember all the Americans affected by the virus this year...

David, Your name for your boat is hilarious. As a Lutheran minister I too had a name when I was out fishing or hunting. I simply said I was studying, "natural theology." People knew exactly what I was doing but they were cool with it. Best of luck on your Church Business III and in your...

Terrific Steve! Happy for you that the pirate is able to be ambidextrous with the scatter gun. Enjoy your filets as we enjoyed the picture of those geese dropping their landing gear into the decoys. Larry

This is a very helpful thread as I have a new to me 30 hp Yammie on my Lund. Thanks for the question Dave and for the response brothers. Larry

Todd, Those are beautiful, functional craft in your drawings and the subsequent pictures on this thread. I know that the classical style of seeking rails is with two people, one paddling/pushing while the other shoots. And subsequently, the two trade off after so many shots. In the...

Road Trip to Michigan: September 2020 Guys and Dani, Recently I took an 8-day road trip to Michigan to visit friends and pick up some hunting gear. I left behind decoys and a Pop-Up Boat Blind ten years ago when I moved from Michigan to South Carolina to serve a Lutheran congregation...

Guys, I recently took a road trip to northern Michigan to pick up some cork decoys I made about 15-20 years ago. When I made them I sealed them. Two questions: do I need to re-seal them now? And if so, what do I use? It's been so long since I did this I can't remember. Your guidance...

Congratulations Eric. We look forward to your photos. Larry

Brother Bob! Wonderful! Just wonderful! Blessings, Larry

Ben, I sent you a PM via email. Larry Eckart

I plan on deer hunting in NC this year with my Benelli Nova. I bought 4 boxes of Federal 12 gauge 2 ?" Vital Shok 1600 fps slugs earlier this summer. That's 20 shells. Also bought a Carlsons rifled choke tube. Shot seven shells today at a range to get a feel for the slugs. That choke works very...

Eric, Buy it and leave it blue. You'll have the most singular rig on the marsh! Larry

Glad you weren't struck. Down here in NC as I begin scouting for squirrels, deer and ducks, I wear snake gaiters. It gives me some extra protection in case my eye wanders away from the ground beneath my feet. Thus far I have not needed them but I expect at some point that my path will cross...

I am happy to hear this news and I hope various states below the border follow suit. They are nasty birds that need to be controlled. Larry
