Took a drive a month ago threw the center of the state. Same way, all our ducks migrated down there in August, I swear. Never saw a blade of grass ove 8", tons of dried sloughs plowed or cattails mowed. Hope it not a bad winter pheasants will have a hard time with no cover.

Any of you have pics of the blinds or concealing the boat. I have some ideas rooming through my head and would like to see what others are doing. I have been using raffia grass nets and looking for something different. Thanks bill

They should be leaving in the next 5 days, we are gettiing a big blow wed and thurs with 40-60mph winds. but not real cold, so if they make it through this then they may stick around for a bit. The guns are JP sauers, but not typical german guns, both are very english style and are excellent...

No problem for the help. I started dragging my cork decoys out when I made the trip out here every year. When I moved out here I carved a rig of balsa birds. I plan to add more but dog training got in the way this summer. I hunt mostly sago lakes, you will see just about everything on a sago...

The next day her choice was to either pheasant hunt or try for redheads on our property. She opted for redheads, she wasnt successfull in hitting one, however she did shoot another canvasback. She joins only myself in ever shooting a can on our property. We don't see many, in fact last year...

My Family was in town this weekend, after the first day of pheasant hunting it was time to take my 12yo neice out for some duck hunting. Last year she shot a sandhill for her first bird ever. This year she really wanted to shoot a canvasback and a redhead. So we headed onto the prairie and...

Very nice, It was perfect duck weather this morning and I was frustrated driving into work. I can hunt tommorrow but it won't be as ducky. This is pretty early to be seeing these divers like this, but I will take it and looks like you are taking advantage of it. What part of the state are you in?

It works great so far and will try a little expereimenting with weight distribution, but the decoys are over the wheels and a little back, just like a trailer I think you want some tongue wieght. The decoys are probably heaviest part of the rig. I would imagine too far back you would get...

Its designed to pull behind you, but no reason you could push, the harness may be a little ackward.

After a few years of wanting, searching and designing in my head I bit the bullet this summer and had a custom dolly made. There are sloughs and areas that require significant walking and when your hunting with 2 balsa dozen decoys and other equipment, some of the longer hikes are out of the...

Hey trees are useless and ugly...the wide expenses is where its at. Yeah, brian and I have been in touch, "Runamuck West" I am gonna try to do a little ruffed grouse hunting in a few weeks in MN.

him that he won't jump into a cold pond, or that he can't do 300 yd blinds, or run a field with a pointer or because he can blood track he can't point. You can read a lot of dribble on the internet with postings like this, most of it is myopic arrogance. Fact is you need to get out with some of...

I just bought one, because it was the perfect size for my female and fits in the back of the subbie with the seats up. Cons, expensive and doesn't come apart. but overall I love the crate, double swing door, sturdy. Just watch the video on their site about safety of the crate. I have 4 pet...

I would chalk the pink color up to people not having a dead one in hand when painting. Painting from pics is not how you do it. Its one of my biggest pet peeves with redheads and their back color on so many decoys. To many people paint a light grey, because in some many pics thats how it...

You on a trip? Fishing in Montana? How abut some fish spots for chicken spots? If you come through this area give me a ring, I will buy you guys dinner.

What the... you buy a wood boat?

Italian art store is the best place to buy Golden Matte colors(grey cap) online, I think its 30-40% off web listed price. Spend $150 get free shipping. Goldens will take abuse and last a good amount of time. They even form a plastic like shell that protects balsa decoys. I have never used Jo...

yep, exactly and invertbrates as well. On our place the 40acre slough should be 1-3ft deep and be interspersed with catails, the catails on the edge we had from the year before were flooded, leaving little nestiing cover for divers. I measured the depth at 8ft last year and there are many that...

I drive 40 miles to work each way, One route I take, is smooth state roads and I drop out of the pothole region at 5 miles and look at farm fields the whole way. Not bad when scouting for snow geese or mallards, but this time of year I like to take the route for 20 miles up through the coteau...

Go to the Havre de Grace decoy show in Havre de Grace Maryland May 4-5th, great mix of decoy competions, antique stuff and even hunting equipment. can't forget the potluck picnic sunday afternoon after the gunning singles at the muesum, that a number of carving members here and others put on...
