I can only speak for my area of the tri-State (OH/IN/KY) along the Ohio River; however, I rarely see a game warden from any of the three states even out driving around, let alone getting checked by one at the ramp or on the water. I'll bet the last time I was checked was close to 10 years before...

But please just tow it behind a real boat with some decoys in it and just use it to paddle around a pond in summer. We don't need to read any more tragic duck hunting stories.

Neat article on Dave. The boat pictured in the opening page of t.he write up is a Brant II that was a fiberglass copy of a Merrymeeting Bay 2 man sculler.

Looks like the very talented Vince Pagliaroli is going to have a one-man show and presentation. Wish I lived close and was able to make it. Well done, Vince. Always a great thing to put waterfowl art and the rich heritage that goes along with it out in front of the general public in venues...

Bill, Just a digital SLR. Actually about 15 years old - back when the switch was just being made from film. I remember the guy at the store telling me ...."but they'll never replace film." :ROFLMAO: That camera (an old Pentax 100D) has become as much a part of my waterfowling gear as my gun &...

Love the paint, Patrick! Vince, that ringer is aces. Hey Dave, To paraphrase the words of Jerry Jeff Walker: You ought to be in the circus; you're havin' too much fun ! Started in on a pintail drake. Have a wigeon cut out too.

Second of the black ducks just about finished. This one is reminiscent of the late-winter freeze up specimens we'd sometimes see down on the River... heads as fat as baseballs and those red legs! Over the next few days, I'm sure I'll flick in some accent details after taking time to just "look"...

My original push pole head finally gave up the ghost about 4 seasons back after 30+ seasons of use. Can't recall the name of the place now, but I found a replacement at a little tackle shop in the Carolinas that had an online presence. Called and ordered two at the insane price of 5 bucks each...

Great stuff, Vince! Good time of the year to get productive while the weather makes up its mind. The painting you sent hangs in a place of honor in my "music room."

Completed the painting on one of the two black duck decoys I have going (the hen). Some of you may remember a time when Keith Mueller was posting a lot of the photos he would later use in his book, The Art in Making Decoys, here on DHBP (2006-08?). We had the opportunity to pre-order copies...
