    Oscoda Canoe

    That looks really good, I'd like to try something like this too but I'm just a little ways inland so it would probably be more of a one off trip, or if our float/jump shooting plan doesn't seem to work very well.

    Oscoda Canoe

    I think next season my friend and I will mainly use it for float in it and try to jump shoot from it. So I'm thinking a base layer of burlap help with clamps or bungees plus some leaves, branches, etc arranged for a little taller concealment. I'm sure we'll have to experiment, but I definitely...

    Oscoda Canoe

    I picked this boat up this morning from a nice husband and wife about an hour from me: Here's what I know: I measured it at 15' 10" tip to tip once I got it home, fiberglass construction, in seemingly really good shape. The bottom of the hull looks like it was barely used which matches what...

    Sportspal canoe

    I appreciate the offer! That's a pretty good haul for me, and I actually just bought a canoe this morning, I'll make a thread here shortly.

    The End of Duck/Goose Season . WHAT IS NEXT?

    Interesting it closes earlier up there, maybe they're trying to time it to catch mainly birds on migration. I would guess they are studied way less than ducks and other game birds though. In both NC and MS where I've hunted them they run to the end of Feb. I might have to consider going out for...

    Sportspal canoe

    No kidding, that is a heck of a deal! I think I am going to be lucky to find a decent canoe by itself under the $300 range Sounds like yours is not a square stern then if you have a mount bracket? I keep going back and forth on whether I'd like a square stern or not, but leaning towards double...

    Sportspal canoe

    Don, hope you'll report back here once you get a chance to take it out. I've been watching Facebook marketplace like a hawk for used canoes, haven't seen any Sportspals near me. I really like the idea of them though from what I've read. Also curious how well the liner holds up as they age, is...

    The End of Duck/Goose Season . WHAT IS NEXT?

    A few years ago, a coworker of mine introduced me to snipe hunting, and now that's become my preferred February outdoor activity. The unfortunate thing about that is it's actually surprisingly hard to talk about it with people, even duck hunters, as they just assume you are joking. I've gotten...

    Sanford Gunning Box?

    Troy, I have enjoyed watching all your videos on sculling and your "just another duck boat" series, as well as the first one in this series. Making some notes as I watch: You read my mind on the staples, as you were explaining the choice between stitch and glue vs chine log and screws I was...

    DNR Rescues Duck Hunters From River

    I had that same thought, to have somebody on the front trying to clear the water... Definitely wouldn't be fun, and then I was imagining them being in the line of fire of a tight winch or pull rope, not a good place to be. Best of luck to those fellows, hope the temps work out for them.

    Introduction James L

    Thank you, RM! I am not sure which way yet on the build vs buy but leaning towards build right now, especially since I have seen the build threads on here - seems like a lot of fun! Ultimately I would love to get ahold of a scull boat just because they seem so unique but my current thinking is...

    DNR Rescues Duck Hunters From River

    That's about what I was thinking, might get sketchy if you're the one running the winch or come-along (I assume this is the same thing as a rope-a-long just different name) in case of the cable snapping, would feel better about having a remote controlled truck winch. But probably better advised...

    DNR Rescues Duck Hunters From River

    I'm curious how folks here would go about trying to get this boat, I'd be tempted to try winching it from shore. Of course that assumes good access and it's not too far plus the ability to connect it up.

    No Name Scull Boat Build......update........ We named her the Double Nickel.........

    Ah that makes sense, I think I read that about it being flipped over at that point but forgot. I got it now! Thank you.

    No Name Scull Boat Build......update........ We named her the Double Nickel.........

    Re-reading this section, a few questions about joining the deck to the hull, not sure if I can tag Dale C or Leonard somehow but hopefully they'll see this: I think I see what you did with the shoebox joint but just to be clear, the sides of the deck (top) are coming down to overlap the sides...
