    Last Hunt of Christmas Break for Thomas (Pics)

    Ha ha Tim! I was thinking something similar... actually I was feeling sorry for Thomas. I'm probably in between the age of him and many of the folks responding so I have somewhat grown up in the digital age and my first thought is that one of his buddies sees his Dad's post and then shows other...

    Is Cabelas ready to ring the closing bell?

    Jim - There might be some correlation but having ordered from them since I can remember, this time of year they always have stuff out-of-stock or on backorder. Numerous times I've ordered something in December and they keep giving me backorder notices and then just cancel my order in March...

    Van Dykes or McKenzies discount code?

    Jake - Thanks for the suggestion! I wasn't aware of them. Had always used Van Dykes or McKenzies for past 18ish years.

    Van Dykes or McKenzies discount code?

    Terry - Aaaaahhhh, that makes sense. And relative to me putting up with the USPS garbage, yea I do it because I only sell online as a hobby to support my hobbies and clothing needs of growing younguns... no way I could run a business and deal with their "issues" on a regular basis.

    Van Dykes or McKenzies discount code?

    Thanks Doug and Phil. And BTW, their shipping to North AL is the most outrageous of anywhere I've purchased... anything.... ever. I wanted to get a cpl of foam/foux barnwood panels to display turkey fans and shipping is $65!!! The full size fan plaque itself is pricey at $47.50 ea. I do a ton of...

    Lessers, Greaters and Gadwalls

    That's it!!!! I'm done looking at your posts until some of your birds stop here on their way down.... worst season (numbers-wise killed as well as numbers on public waters) since i got my drivers license at 16 and started being about to chase ducks instead of set decoys in the only hole within...

    Van Dykes or McKenzies discount code?

    I know this is very spammish but wondering if anyone happens to know of a Van Dykes or McKenzies shipping or discount code? Looking to place a small order, their shipping is killer... :-(

I covered miles, I mean MILES of river on Sunday afternoon (drove for 3.5hrs) and it was lowest duck numbers I have EVER seen since I started duck hunting in 1994... and you have all those birds 300-350ish miles south of us??? what the heck!!!!!!! Why...

    A divers escape

    I don't know how often the "suicide" happens versus them swimming out of sight with nothing but bill and small portion of head above water (I'm a diver hunter so this is the most frustrating part) but I did find a drake hooded merganser holding tightly to a piece of submerged milfoil about 1.5...

    Scratch Another Off The List

    Eric - your post kills me... we are losing way too many areas to these weeds (some in plain sight.. over the 35 causeway for example). I remember hunting that area on the youth season when I was 14yrs old. We didn't kill squat because of location but it was unbelievable the number of mallards we...

    NDR: Industry certifications... and associated hurdles

    Ha! Well I've taken a few online CEU courses since college as well but this is a little different. It's serious business, test is taken at a facility where they treat you like a prison inmate. You have to put all personal belongings in a locker, they check ID inside a room outside the test room...

    NDR: Industry certifications... and associated hurdles

    Well, I decided to pursue an industry certification since I've been out of school a while and gained enough experience to quality for it. My assumptions were that it looks good on a resume and makes me a more valuable asset to my current employer. I also like the "learning process"... as bad as...

    A Pattersquash Hunt - lots of photos

    wow, incredible scenery! I have to get out that way and make a few hunts sometime... so very different than the backwaters and open water of the Tennessee River lakes

    Offseason wader storage solutions...

    Fortunately this is a room inside so no issues this time... the previous homeowner/builder even did a good job with the garage so I'm rodent free there at the moment as well. Just have to maintain his level of upkeep.
