Every day is opening day!

My Bad! I wasn't wearing my reading glasses. RM

William, I haven't been able to afford Alaska for some time, at least with a clear conscious since wife is trying to retire. Always thought it would be fun to hunt Barbary sheep. In Texas, those hunts are all on private ranches and getting crazy expensive as well. Have you ever applied for Oryx...

William, That IS a rough way to start the day! Once you get used to lean wild game it is very hard to eat store bought anything. Personally, I don't have the patience for applying but my wife, a state employee is quite good at it. RM

I feel almost embarrassed of my electric tools after watching this video. Our ancestors were the real deal! RM

Mark, That is a beautiful bird Mark! I'm envious of your 50 year run chasing wild turkey. They sure are fun to learn about and pursue. We started about eight years ago and have enjoyed every minute but wish we could have started a lifetime ago. RM

Dani, ND and SD have the same five day rule being proposed in Saskatchewan. Yes, there are public lands available but since everyone electronically posted their land, you can imagine how hard these areas are hit. It was a slap in the face to our family of hunters who for years supported...

Adam, Yes, that would be the case. The last time my wife and I drove across the Dakotas to bring our camper back from Oklahoma, we had the Onyx app on and both states are virtually locked up. I see hunting in both our counties headed towards a non-egalitarian/elitist arrangement where only the...

I clipped this from Facebook so I hope the moderator doesn't mind. I think this gentleman says it better than I ever could. RM

Whatever boat it is, it's beautiful to my eyes! RM

It would be very unfortunate if Canada's Ministry of Natural Resources doesn't take into account where the vast majority of Ducks Unlimited money is raised. My other point of contentions the rhetoric of protecting the resource for resident hunters. Every resident we met while asking permission...

Tom, Welcome to the duckboats.net. Thankfully for me, my misgivings about contributing to the forum were short-lived and I have since found it fun and engaging as Henry has mentioned. The beauty of a forum such as this is that it is an information multiplier. The knowledge you gain from the...

Rob, Did your friend lower the gunnels? The bridge boats I've seen have much higher sides. RM

THUNDERSTORM & LIGHTNING GOBBLER! Heather and I had a very event filled day. At first light we were sitting at the edge of the field bordering our neighbors land. Of course the whole flock went the other way. We sat for 45 minutes and noticed a lone hen feeding our way. OK we thought, we're...

Henrick, I see that you are from MN. Where we are hunting the turkeys are still in bachelor groups. Look for open areas preferably with the greenest grass you can find or even freshly worked fields. It is probably a bit too early to hunt the woods so stick to openings where they like to strut...

Henrick, I'm no turkey hunting expert but my wife and I are both extremely stubborn. Just keep at it! I'm convinced that timing has alot to do with it and one morning you will get up and every tom will be gobbling and stumbling over each other to get to you first. RM
