Cody, local stakeholder action is key in these situations. I'd be surprised if DU isn't already working on this, reach out to them. (see link below) Other orgs that may be assistive are: Nature Conservancy, Trust for Public Lands, Isaac Walton League, Conservation Lands Foundation, Trout...

The fun your post is the boyish exuberance..... amazing what new cylinders will do to a man! Lightning to Frankenstein's Monster, er Craig's Honker. bet that thing will be a beast :-) I know I speak for most here: I'm jealous (edited upon a reread: auto correct believes the Brits are...

Due to rains this summer/fall most MN streams and rivers are near flood stage. Spring snow melt would be the next "gouge" for the stream bed.... sometime around April. I'm not familiar with Mark's stream specifically, but the general geography of streams in that area are a low gradient...

I've always wondered if the Polyana Perspective regarding projects, their value, and the outright dismissal of variables is uniquely Minnesotan or if it's the nature of agencies. Whenever I hear an "Official" say anything about, "Nothing to worry about...." I always hear Bill Murray in...

Same. The neighbor kids use to sell subscriptions as a fundraiser and Gray's was the one I'd get. That's gone out of fashion. Now I use purchasing issues individually as a reason to slow down and stop into a store.

For a Ford Ranger years ago I: Notched 2 x4's for the back stake pockets so they ran parallel to the bed Ran slotted angle across and connected with lag bolts Used foam bumpers and tie down for the front. Ratchet strapped the back to the slotted angle. Tied front ties to bumper...

Those are the experiences that always make me think we have this whole theory if economics and happiness wrong. Congratulations on a full bounty! Can't wait to see the mushroom decoys ;-)

When I bought my Stihl my wife asked, "Do you really need that expensive of a chain saw..." My reply, " I tend to prefer higher end when it comes to tools that use may result in death and dismemberment." The other part, that I've never had to use, is in my neck of the woods Stihl is...

Red head Drake shoveler, 'cause you know, SPOON!

Rarely do I say such things, but that's awesome.

That's awesome info, thank you! The "serious" part comes down to timing trips during hunting seasons and putting enough room in. My last trip to FL in May would have set up really well for a Thurs/Fri hunt. Due to some new territory opening up I anticipate I'll be working out of Salt...

Carl, that's what they refer to in Biz Ness as "forced obsolescence". For Avian X the "proof" over time will be against GHG. Haven't checked lately, but guessing G&H doesn't have an active succession plan. Your decoys going on 20 years... those boys in Henrietta want you to buy some new...

Dave/Dani What part of Florida are you all in? I get there once or twice a year, but my "base" tends to be Jupiter, then running the Turnpike N/S. My trips typically combine work and friends intermingled. Finally at a "smart age" I'm getting better at planning hunting. Can a newb...

Iowa teal season opens Sept 1 and then every week another state opens all the way to the Gulf. Calendar migrators, you should be seeing the mature drakes first. Then the hens and first of year. We'll shoot BWT up in the Great White North until mid-October, but a warm year might always...

Thanks Mark! If I can get a Friday afternoon scheduled over there I'll let know. Chanhassen is about as far as we could get from each other :-) Looks like the MN contingent had it going on with three mini long tails. Wondering though, is it cool different like Prince, or just odd different...

It seems the hey day of these was about 2008-2011. Anyone have "looking back on it" experience to share. My "intrigued meter" is peaking! [/url]http://duckboats.net/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=31368;search_string=Whipper%20snipper;#31368

The coming invasion of Big Head carp up the Mighty Mississippi is taking a lot of head space here. But we've gotten used to the Common Carp introduced 130 years ago to improve fishing opportunities, and heck, we now have an organization dedicated to the protection and proliferation of...

Love my Stihl Kombi. I'll need to check out the scythe attachment.... that unit gave my "accesoring dreaming" mind a whole new field of operation.... like wondering if I could power my canoe with the leaf blower attachment..... The hand scythe, in my experience, is convenient for getting...

Carl, thanks for the additional info. From what I've seen on redheads the last two years those numbers aren't lying. I never hold that my experience in one god forsaken swamp in MN is enough to tell a national story.... but holy geez oh man: there's days when I could be 6 out on reds in 30...
