I'm working with a consultant to fix some issues with the site and we will be doing an upgrade. The upgrade should only take a few hours. We haven't nailed a time down yet but I'll let you know when we do. The other item we are working is the bot issue. Some may have noticed the site is...

We've discussed it all before and have had really good input from hunters and outfitters. A few of the threads on this matter are below. https://duckboats.net/community/threads/saskatchewan-follows-manitoba.356272/...

Work is slowly progressing on the set of drawers that will go in my Tacoma. The drawers, carcass, glides, latches, and stops are complete. This week I'll put the top on it and cover it with rubber matting.

Some of you may recall when Jeff passed away I was given his Fox HE, aka Super Fox and I had it restored. He had another Fox that was gifted to a mutual friend. That friend contacted me last week and said he didn't see himself ever doing anything with the gun. I told him I wanted it and we...

Last fall after I completed the giant hambone tribute batch of calls I had folks ask me to make them one. One of the things I set out to do was capture the look of the original hambone. I'd like to stick with that school of thought but it has posed a problem. Finding 4" thick turning stock of...

A co-worker's father passed away. While going through his possessions my co-worker found these and brought them to me. I'm thrilled to have them as little pieces of history from north Alabama duck hunting. He hunted the Tennessee River near Decatur, the same water I've hunted since high school.

I've been in my shop ten years now and it's hard to believe that much time has gone by. I have projects ahead of me but also many have been checked off the to-do list. Yesterday a BIGGIE was checked off the list. Over the past ten years I've stuck my mower countless times in a drainage ditch...

Duck hunting success here in north Alabama is more dependent on fall rain than anytime in my 44 years career. The collapse of Lake Guntersville gadwall population and its perennial hunting opportunity has shifted hunter reliance to swamps and low lands near the river. State and Federal refuges...

Seems like the July Workbench thread relocated to other forums. No problem, there's room for one in every forum. I've grown tired of gathering up tools to take to the hunting property and still not having what I need. Then I have to put them up when I'm done because I don't have a good place...

A few weeks ago I saw an auction for a Wildfowler Brant decoy with Charles R. Birdsall written on the bottom. The auction ended today and with only four bids yours truly had the winning bid. I know Birdsall owned Wildfowler from about 1961 to the mid 70s. Birdsall's name is written on the...

The last surviving individual of an entire species is known as an endling. I went and looked for other waterfowl hunting forums and most are dead. There are some that are technically functional but haven't had a post in over a year. The only two I can find with any significant activity are...

Thought I'd post a few pictures of the recent upgrades I've made to my call making area. Last fall when I turned that batch of giant Hambone tribute calls I realized I had a very inefficient set up that had me walking all over the place to gather turning accessories and tools. After duck...

A few months back I had the idea of taking a few cross slides I scrounged up on ebay and making a copy attachment with them. The project isn't done but its getting there. The larger cross slide on the bottom is from a Hardinge tool room lathe and mounts 90 degrees to the way it would normally...

I rarely post on FB and it seems like when I do I'm always reminded of one of the things that galls me about their groups. Someone posted a question about an issue they are having with calls they make. As I read the responses saw nobody covered the root cause. A few were reasonable...

Say near Dawson Creek or Fort Saint John? I'd love to hear your thoughts on freelancing this part of Canada including the river and surrounding agriculture fields. How easy is it to gain permission to hunt? Is the river itself very productive? Does the area offer public land waterfowling...
