I have some brown .22 loads used in nailers that are quite quiet and launch a dummy well over fifty yards that I picked-up at the hardware store. I like the concept that these condition the dog that the noise will result in a retrieve possibility, as well as the ability to apply scent to the...

...And, you were "out" . From the perspective of those on this site whose season is overwhile birds still pour through their migration corridors, that is VERY siginificant! Congratulations!

A duck hunting friend just moved down to the Ann Arbor area from the UP. He and his fiance' crossed the Bridge yesterday, after it re-opened from the windstorm closure. Drew said there was a massinve raft of redheads (95%), scaup and goldeneyes strung-out east of the toll booth station toward...

My all-time favorite is: "It was a slow day, so we shot.... Pick any or all from this list; 1. coot, 2. merganser, 3. marsh hawk, 4. any songbird within range 5.your decoys, 6 your dog

If age is the prerequisite to determine bad behavior in the marsh, then guilty as implied. Please send me the GPS coordinates to your favorite duck hunting haunts> I promise to forward them to these folks so that you can 'interact' with them when they set-up twenty yards away from your...

Bob, groundwater in many parts of the US and north America often contains leage concentrations of ferric-oxide in solution due to redox conditions elevating its solubility, largely due to low oxygen in solution. When these waters bubble to the surface in headwater streams, the precipitate...

Just look for the decals on their shotgun barrels...

When I read through the Sandhill populations status, the one thing that jumped-out was the uncertainty around the impact of annual harvest on population growth, largely because both the size and annual scope of these immigrant lessers largely remains unknown, as well as having good population...

Al, it is snowing pretty steady acrossthe northern tier of US. Hopeully this hs pushed some bird south to you by now. Some of yourlesser sandhil cranes originate in soviet Siberia crossing via the Bering Straits. The USFWS was supposed to be conducting studies of annual immigration into...

No plan, Brad, just the desire to "tak.e a shot" and maybe hit the animal. Stupidity is an acquired skill made more accepted by our social media dominated "interactive skills" When I lived in the eastern UP I used to take a handful of days of vacation and trap my way around Neebish Island...

Here in the UP of Michigan there is a phenomena titled "Finnish Lightning" that is correlated with this type of behavior.

Region 1 eason ended on Nov. 21. Migration turned-on four days ago...again.

Larry, I recall you knew Tom Pink well and hunted that area when you lived in sourthern Michigan. Steve and I used to rent Sam Lightfoot's cabin on Neebish Island. Tom is Sam's father-in-law.WE used to rent three of the log cabins at Jen's Resort on the mainland. Dr, Ludwig, a surgeon in the...

I posted some exterior pics of this duck camp three or four years ago. It consists of a US Army Corps of Engineers quarters barge used to house dredging crews that were working waterways to engage in maintenance dredging of the shipping channels. Paul Sabatini purchaed it at auction in the...

Bob does your boat have the aluminum cross-braces, that Roy mentione? Initially, I removed mine when I pulled the seats, but the hull oil-canned quite a bit when under power without them in pace, so I reinstalled them./

Thanks, Troy, but he is hoping to find something a little more reasonably priced...

Ralph and his brother Dale were camping on MSU land (University owns the north haff of Neebish as a portion of the Dunbar Forest ResearchFfacility) when he located the sign of this buck. He initially thought that the rubs and scrapes were those of a moose, since they migrate across the river...

I suspect the drought's displacement effects on breeding populations of waterfowl is being reflected in the alteration of historic migration corridors, Cody. What I have seen in my bag and reflected in the pics. posted by others on this sight consists of predomminantly adult birds-not good for...

These deer were all taken via "poke hunting" . Ralph's monster 8pt. as shot on Neebish island inlandfrom the Hen nd Chicken Islands. It weighed 254lbs. The Marquette islanddeer pair has Ralph's 205lb buck.

Congratulations, Larry, on your first buck!! Like you, I always wanted to shoot a 200lb buck. When I did, the fist thing I discovered was what a bugger he was to tow out. I was in very good shape then, but getting him to start to slide along required quite a bit of umph each time to overcome...
