    Darn dogs

    Gary, My chocolate, Bryant, has had the TTA done on both knees...first when he was 1, and the second when he was 7 (last year). 16 weeks after both surgeries, he was superman...not a problem since. I think the most important thing (if he is is in good shape) is adhering to the rehab...

    New motor for lightweight duckboats

    But I don't like heights! Now, flying on water...that looks like fun. Saw this on History Channel last night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk1qFaaq4q4. Still doesn't solve the decoy storage problem, but at $80K, I'm sure they'll throw in a Max-4 paint job!

    Little things in life---NDR

    Peaches are my favorite too, Al. Unfortunately, brown rot has taken my fruit for the last three years, and I'm starting to lose hope. But i grab my sprayer every 2 weeks and continue to fight...we'll see how this year goes!

    ticks and dogs (need advice)

    We have a wooded lot, and ticks are terrible. My wife's dog goes out a 6 am and stays outside till well after dark (she hates being inside). She attracts ticks like a magnet. We started her on Frontline at 6 mos., and since then, we find dead ticks on her all the time...some attached, some...

    Duck Feet

    I look at this duck's rear end from my desk every day, and I got tired of waiting for my office mate to call the taxidermist...which is why i put the question to the committee! Thanks for all the replies gents.

    Duck Feet

    Need some help here... I took my office mate and his young son on their first duck hunt last year. It ended up being a great afternoon hunt..they got some shooting and even brought home their first duck-- a very pretty drake gaddy (also a very underrated duck if you ask me!). As a...

    Layout blinds

    Jack, I hunt with my 70lb chocolate lab Bryant in my layout, which doesn't have a bottom hatch, which means he has to exit from the top. Every third retrieve or so, he somehow he manages to launch squarely off my giblets with both feet. The good news it that at that point I'm reloading...

    Neat Old Sculling film

    That was great. I was halfway throught before I realized that video was posted by Pittboss (Jeff Coats)...I drive past his house almost every day and drool over his 21' and 25' Bankes parked on the lawn. I see Capt. Harry Jobes, who learned in Madison Mitchell's shop, several times a...

    Truck tires?

    another vote for the ATs. absolutely love them in any conditions...and they wear better than any tire I've run. on my second set, and they will probably outlast the truck.

    Ammo sale

    Pete, you might have, and just not realized it. Our Hevi rebate checks have come in unmarked, plain envelopes—easy to send out with the junk mail. Kinda makes you wonder if that's not the point!

    NDR-Hunting McKelvie Nat Forest...Any Suggestions?

    Well, we're finally taking my dad out west (well, west of here!) for a deer hunt. We promised him a retirement hunt 2 years ago, but due to health reasons, he hasn't been able to go until now. We didnt' draw elk tags for any of the states we put in for, so we're hunting muleys in McKelvie Nat...

    I left work at 5 and the Cards

    Well, sorry Jeff. I can't say we have a whole lot of pride in our .425 Orioles these days, but they sure weren't ready to roll over and die!

    On the PUP list

    Dropped my 6-year old chocolate at the surgeon this morning to have his ACL repaired. Still waiting to hear how it went...I hate feeling so anxious. My huntin partner's out for the season and I'm out a mortgage payment...not a good week!

    BWCAW-- a few photos

    Great shots Dave...thanks for sharing. Pretty funny...the guy in the office next to me was there the same week you were, so seeing some of your pics was a bit of deja vu.

    Not Duck Related but about Accokeek, MD

    lots of good hunting down there. We hunted Indian Head NSWC for a couple years when my brother was stationed down there...drove right past Beretta on way there. I'm sure you'll find good guys to get in with...especially if you're working at Beretta! If you can connect with someone on the...

    duckboats.net is coming to life - Roll Call Time

    Frank Gostomski here in Forest Hill, MD. I've been primarily lurking on DB for a couple years, with a few posts from time to time. I grew up around here in a family of deer hunters who chased geese and ducks when they couldn't shoot deer. Now a recovering deer hunter, I've been completely...

    Garmin Bluechart

    Cool. GPS Store also sells a hard-wire kit and swivel mount so you can power it from your boat battery (the CSx chews up AAs pretty fast). I just wired mine into the switch panel and clip it into the mount in the morning and away we go. I know what you mean about those channels. we have...

    Garmin Bluechart

    Davey, Like Greg, I have the same unit with BlueChart. i thought that I could use it on the boat and then take it deer/elk hunting upland. It works, but as several folks said, you have to zoom in so far due to screen size that you lose field of view. But as far as the Blue Chart goes, the...

    Some pics---

    Al, I always look forward to your pics...you make NM look prtty appealing! We actually have an office up on El Camino Real St, and I keep looking for an excuse to fly out for a "site inspection." Haven't been able to sell it to the boss yet!

    Then the season closes...

    It's funny, Yon. I was just sitting at my desk, looking out at the ice-locked river outside my offfice and thinking "Well, 2....maybe 3 more days to get up at 4 AM and chase ducks. Then i can start waking at a human hour on Saturday mornings, stoke up the fire, let the dogs out, and make...
