    Offseason wader storage solutions...

    I'm usually fortunate enough to hunt 25ish days a season so I usually end up in the same situation... it's just now that I finally have a room of "my own" I'm excited about all the possibilities for keeping order... no more boxes under kids beds or stacking clothes in bins in the corner of a...

    Offseason wader storage solutions...

    Dani - I love to do that for short spurts during season (a day or two between hunts when my dryer is drying another pr) to help dry but long term storage that way will eventually ruin/modify the memory of the elastic in the wader straps.

    Offseason wader storage solutions...

    Disclaimer: If you have ducks to hunt or you're easily annoyed by over-analyzing of things that are really too complicated, stop reading now. Has anyone found their version of "the perfect" off-season storage solution for neoprene waders? I've been fortunate to have received my own closet for...

    Awesome Carl! Numbers here are pathetic still, didn't even get out of bed this morning (insert disgruntled duck-hunter emoticon)

    Ethanol gas!! Off season storage?

    Scott - That's the only solution we've found... even the folks that advertise they have a "solution" are probably blowing smoke up your.... Fortunately Scottsboro and Hollywood have lots of choices for 100% gas since there's so much lake activity. Keep that in mind if you are ever over this way...

    Hybrid Waders??

    I have no experience with them but really need to get some breathables after this past weekend's hunt. I believe it was as hot as teal season. I've never hunted ducks during regular season in a tshirt and had so much sweat in my light 3mm-400grm thinsulate neoprenes... don't know how you guys do...

    Camo Dipping or Cerakote?

    problem I've found is I can buy a good new (rem 870 for example) or used shotgun for the cost of having them dipped... I do like the look though, just too pricey for me

    Steel Shot performance question

    If someone didn't mention to you... now is the time to try out Remington Nitro or Hypersonics... they have a "Black Friday Rebate" going on now that gives u $10/box up to two cases! Rogers Sporting Goods has the best prices with free shipping. It's been a long time since I paid $6.90/bx for...

    Waterproof socks...NDR...unless the water was really shallow...

    Interested to hear how this turns out... I jumped on the neoprene bandwagon when they made some socks in the early-mid 90s to try and get more life out of my no-longer-waterproof boots and that made for a miserable experience. Haven't tried anything like that since.

    The Real Coot Migration

    Should have given you the heads up Carl... they started showing up here in droves on Friday/Saturday and we have a pile of gads on the refuges as well now

    How would you fix this?

    ... I agree with this so much it's scary. I'm going to head back to my faraday cage. I also think you could go cheaper with a piece of hardwood dowel and will last you the life of your paddle... excluding another incident like this.

    Fall Creek Exploring

    Ah! Well it makes sense that folks from MS aren't using the right name... (if anyone tells my wife I said then I'll deny it)

    Least favorite weather and/or time to hunt ducks?

    Al - That is really amazing as in my experience hunting ducks in MS and AL, that is definitely the worst time for duck activity... seems they like to sit still or loaf around. Maybe our birds are just lazier? :)

    Fall Creek Exploring

    dang Jode! I like to think we live in God's Country here but your excursions always remind me of the beauty and world of water critters that I don't get to see (salt-water species). What is the "real name" for that fish you call white perch? I've lived in the south all my life and white perch...

    My new "Swamp Seat"

    nice work Mark! I'm sure it was fun project to think through. You my have already heard this suggestion but I'm a deal shopper (refuse to pay full price for absolutely anything) and I have have two nice "swamp/muck" seats that I got for less than half price... always wait until mid-Jan and then...

    Least favorite weather and/or time to hunt ducks?

    I loved reading your answers. I assumed I'd get a lot of "steady rain" responses as well as that's typical with my circle of hunting friends as well. One thing I didn't mention, which many of you have, is those warm bluebird days. The ONLY reason I didn't mention that is because when the weather...
