Ben, That's a mighty fine Ringbill decoy. Everything that should be there is, no fluff. I like the textured head and the brush marks gives the decoy extra appeal. Should work very well for yer friend for many years. Best regards Vince

This is a very sad story for all involved and the hunting community. I've been a upland bird hunter since the early 1960's. Worked on a game farm for years, and have hunted the birds in lots of places east and west. Been shot at many times, once badly in the leg. Hot pellets hurt like Hell...

Mike, Many years ago I was came very close to buying a Scullboat from Lock Stock & Barrel. I already had my share of duckboats and not having a house of my own storage was already a issue. Also none of my gunning partners were as interested in it as I was. The local lakes held many ducks and...

Steve, We have what is considered a dusting of snow here now about 4". During the last lake effect West Warsaw (4 miles away) had 28.5" of snow. Since we are in a freeze and thaw cycle I've lost count of how much there has been it varies so greatly over such a near and wide area. One place has...

"Scullers" are a very tight lipped and wide spread type of waterfowler. They make dedicated Ruffed Grouse Hunters seem like very social blabber mouths if ya know what I mean. They hunt when most other waterfowlers have gone home for the day and specialize in being as mobile as possible. They...

I bought a dozen of the Mallards and a half dozen of the Canada Geese in the late 1960's. Both were notorious for flipping over in high wind and waves until I weighted the keels. I heated a screwdriver to make a clean sealed hole in the plastic keel then I hung keel weights to the keep the...

I have LL Bean, Eddie Bauer, Filson, Woolrich, Pendelton, Orvis, Columbia, and other quality makers items that are older than many members on Duckboats. With proper care and hard use over many year they Still Do the Job. When each of those companies branched out to more "non hunting & fishing"...

STORMY KROMER, cannot beat em far as I'm concerned and GUARANTED FOR LIFE. I own several. I purchased the Rancher well insulated hat for deer hunting in 2021. Somehow the brim of the hat material broke in the middle back to front. I sent in photos last year, never heard a word except that they...

My my.... All this discussion over how it was done, and how to improve something that was ingenious and created in quantity in 1920. Makes me smile. For many a year decoy carvers and makers have Tried to figure out the methods and the paint on the old decoys. Few have succeeded and the ones...

" The anchor cord was wound around the anchor weight and the weight then slid into slots cut so that once the lead was in place, it held the head into it's cut-out." "When the anchor cord was pulled through the hole, the head popped right into it's proper location and remained there as long as...

Nothing compares to Brant Hunting. I chased em for many a year up and down the East Coast. New Jersey the best place by far. Never made to to the West Coast to hunt em but wanted to. They are pure Joy to see and hear. What a experience and one every true Waterfowler should enjoy. When they...

My goodness I've not heard the term "Mickey Mouse Boots" or seen a pair in many years. In the 1960's & 1970's the local Army Navy Store sold them. Those boots and Felt Pacs were the only option to really keep ones feet Warm. My cousin was a Navy Vet and he swore by the Mickey Mouse Boots. They...
