    Not a ducky day, just another beautiful day; sunny, warm and clear skies

    The weather has been weird over here this year too John. We've had the driest December on record. No 50's like you're having, but no precip and above average temps. It's going to be an awfully brown Christmas this year, and I'm less than 2 hours from the Canadian border!

    That is awesome Eric! You must be one proud papa?!!! I can't wait to share experiences like that with my boys. One is 7, and the other almost 2 so I have some time yet.

    Partridge in a pear tree,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Excellent shot Dave!!! Aitkin, MN eh?! I grew up near there! Our hockey team was the C-I-A-P-L Rangers at the time. Crosby, Ironton, Aitkin, and Pequot Lakes. I graduated from Pequot Lakes in 1999!

    A Butterball Morning...

    Went out this morning with my Father-in-Law in his new floating blind that he built. (I introduced him to waterfowling last year and he's still in the learning stages. He wanted to build a plywood blind so he could stay warm. Old Farts, I tell ya!) I set out 9 Wigeon, 4 Buffies, and a hen...

    Stranded....and some Duck Jerky......

    Hey Carl, do you prefer the dehydrator to a smoker for jerky? I've always just used my little chief electric smoker to make mine, but a dehydrator seems a lot more convenient. It takes me 12 hours to dry out my jerky, with 3-4 pans of chips to start.

    The red dog may have dodged a bullett

    We have a 14 year old Akita/Black Lab who also struggles with the hardwood floors. We've also put down rugs for his old bones to travel upon. Stairs are also becoming more and more of a problem for him, which sucks because the only way to the backyard is either through the garage (which...

    steel shot reloading

    I've been reloading for 2 seasons now and love it. It takes a little longer to load over lead, just because I weigh everything and load by hand. I use the press for the primers, the wads, and crimping, and that's it. I went with a recipe from Alliant Powder's website and buy everything from...

    hen bufflehead decoys

    I would say there's not much difference in having hen buffies mixed in, but that's just my observation from this part of the country. I've shot plenty of buffies over my old ghg hot buy mallards and goose floaters. This year I repainted two of my teal decoys into drake buffies, and man...

    Crow decoy

    Very cool Andy! Are there any new birds on your side of the border yet? I've been noticing a few more buffies and GE's around here, but that's about it. Lot's of cormorrants this year too.

    foam cutter

    I get my wire from Hobbytown USA. $3 for 4ft. of it. Not sure the gauge, they only have one size here but it has been working fine for me. I set mine up similar to a bandsaw and it works great! I'm using a 12volt/1.5amp power supply, with alligator clips on the ends that hook to the...
