    "increased mobility"

    Jim - Is the "little boat" a custom job? If not, what's the make and model? (nice setup, I'm envious, ha)

    Least favorite weather and/or time to hunt ducks?

    Ok, first of all, I know that sounds like blasphemy or an "April Fools!" question but in all seriousness I will hunt in any type of weather that work and family allows. I have found there are two types that crank down my excite-o-meter: (1) heavy fog - I have just very rarely had any luck in...

    What do you do?

    I'm with Carl. I've asked this same question to multiple game wardens and they have always said they wouldn't ticket when trying to finish off a wounded bird. I look at it as one of those common sense things that was probably never put on paper to prevent folks from using that theoretical...

    FS or FT: Rocky Lynx Lace-up Boots

    Rocky Lynx for sale. Only been worn on 1 turkey hunt and about an hr inside the house before that to make sure I liked them. Realized I've turned into a rubber boot guy and . Original price was $185 but wife found them on sale in Feb this year for around $100. Asking $60 + shipping via carrier...

    How many hunters is too many?

    I personally prefer 2-3 but 4 isn't bad. I've been on a cpl of hunts with 5+ and always say I'll never do that again.... (who's the dummy in that scenario?)

    Layout boat shoot.

    great post, thanks for sharing Mike. I love the location variation of folks on this site since we have to wait until after thanksgiving to chase anything but doves, teal, and golf course geese :)

    Decoy Killers...

    I'm with Dani... if you (figuratively speaking, I read original post as tongue-in-cheek but maybe you were more serious than I realized) are that worried about decoys getting hit with shot, hunt solo or with like-minded people. I think it would be unethical to hunt divers with that mentality...

    Teal are here on the Gulf Coast

    i finally saw another small group today in North AL. Had been seeing several dozen a few weeks ago but I knew that was too early and they'd be your way long before the opener.

    Alabama Seasons are Set

    Carl - You are going to give me a heart attack... you took 1 can and 1 bluebill per day away from me! :) In verifying with the website, limits are actual 2 cans, 2 pintails, and 3 bills per day this year. You can have my pintail though as I won't see the first one unless it's half mile in the...

    NDR - Off electrical grid phone chargers question.

    I have an Anker Astro E3 External Battery for my Samsung Galaxy S3 and love it. Can get four charges off this system before it needs recharging. It can also charge multiple phones at once. Check out amazon for best price.

    Not sure what you have decided but Rogers Sporting goods has good prices on 8'x20' and 7'8"x10' camo military style netting right now and free shipping (or at least that's what my cart said but I had some shells in it also)

    Could it be...

    Great decoys pat! That hen ringer is my favorite of all four of them... not sure why but it just looks "right" to me. Like that drake bwing also.

    Totally NDR: Skilled Trade Employment in Mobile, AL

    Carl - I have been encouraging most of today's youth to go that route opposed to college unless they just really have a desire/passion for something they can get a scholarship for or understand the debt and payoff schedule. There are always openings for machinists in the Huntsville area and the...

    Do you like upland game hunting?

    Al - Love seeing the scenary in your posts. I have fond memories of my one trip out your way in 2012 and the kind of "assault on my senses" from the dry air, intense heat, vast openness, lack of greenery, and no "critter" that reminded me of home (even your rabbits look funny, ha)... thanks for...

    Decoy bags

    I guess the only value I can add to this is I'm a data point in another part of the country... but i also have bags of hers that are more than 10yrs old and they are great. Would buy again in a heartbeat if I needed them and she use to have great sales after season.

    Carvers or "duck stuff" in Boston?

    Have a friend headed to NE area for over a week on travel and I told him to try and hit Havre de Grace Museum on the way. He'll be in Boston for several days and martha's vineyard as well as another place. Any other good historic spots for duck hunting history (decoys, boats, calls, etc.)...
