    Decoy ID for the gurus

    I?m not familiar with that carver. A quick search shows a can he carved in the late 80s sold at auction for couple hundred bucks. There are a couple good facebook groups about Ontario Decoys if you want to find out more about him. Search ?Canadian Decoy and Outdoor Collectible Association? and...

    Decoy ID for the gurus

    I have been watching those intently, hoping the price stays in my realm especially with the US dollar and shipping back to Canada. Nick, your decoys are really nice! My collection focuses on the Dunnville area (where Anger resided), and am fortunate to have a few Anger knock offs and one Cecil...

    How's the migration in your area?

    Migration is behind schedule in southern Ontario. Divers are arriving in better numbers on Lake Erie, and the teal and wood ducks are finally starting to move out. Through the grapevine I heard that the Long Point waterfowl unit harvest is at least 600 birds below what it was this time in 2020.

    Advice & opinions on Walker Game Ear Hearing aid/protection

    I have been using the walkers electronic muffs for two hunting seasons and am quite happy with them. Still allow for conversation on the duck blind, calling, and can hear well. My only annoyance is how they get in the way with facemasks, hats and beanies in colder weather. I keep an extra set of...

    What's on your workbench September 2021

    As usual had grand aspirations for the 2021 rig but life got in the way. Here are three ready for opening day next Saturday. These are the last 3 decoys carved at our first house. After an exhaustive house hunt in a very competitive market we settled into our new place on the lake a couple weeks...

    What's on your workbench - May 2021

    Working on some teal and woodies for the early season, slow and steady. Helped clear out the estate of a friend's father - lots of basswood and random carving supplies.

    What's on your WORK BENCH ? APRIL 2021

    The Canada looks great. Any bottom board? Looks like a smooth transition. I have been slowly working on 3 Canadas, two black cork and one hollowed willow. Also been looking to upgrade the 15hp on my boat and watching for a 20 or 25hp to help push all the decoy weight I keep adding to the boat.

    What's on your WORK BENCH ? - MARCH 2001

    Congratulations Ben, looks like a busy household. Nice work to all this month, lots of good projects. With the warm weather I pulled the boat out to access the bandsaw for the first time in 4 months. Cut out all the "little duck" heads(and one goose) planned for the rig this year. See how...

    Dog appreciation pictures.

    Great thread, love hunting with a dog. This was Cabot's fifth season - can't believe it has been that many already, he did great this year.

    There's been one for sale on and off in my area since the summer. And I have been tempted to go take look after all the great posts about these boats. If only I had more storage space....

    Truck Tire thoughts

    I have also been very happy with Cooper AT3s. My mechanic recommended them as cheaper alternative to the BFG K02.

    What?s in your bag? November 2020

    I'm in Ontario, Canada. Thanks, the pup is mainly from a show dog bloodline but turned into a great hunting companion. Three years ago this week we almost put him down due to a brutal bacterial infection. Since he's recovered I've made sure to take extra days off this same week to get out on...

    What?s in your bag? November 2020

    Congratulations all. I have been experiencing some good luck this season. Been having an absolute blast with my own boat and hunting over my own rig. Still some teal sticking around here, I've managed a few nicely plumed drakes - something I haven't seen until this season. And had a fun few...
