Since I have sold my farm in No Dak and stopped guiding I have no need for my trailer and field set up. I have a 6 x 12 single axle trailer in very good condition with new tires, and the following decoys etc. Numbers on the decoys are approximate but very close. My friend and I shot a :LOT of...

Thanks Mike. Flambeaus they are. Replacement heads on order.

I have decided to sell my whole field hunting rig. Sold my farm in N. D. and don't guide in Canada any more. Free lancing is not my gig so I'm selling all of my layouts, decoys, trailer etc. I can't find the heads to these shells. They are magnum size, not super mags, but I can't remember what...

I guided waterfowl in Canada for 12 years. One year I had a group of very nice fellows who could not shoot at all. We did not limit on geese the first 4 days even though they had MORE than ample opportunity. The last day, I recommended that they allow me to do the calling, call the shots and...

I hope this link works. It is a fitting send off for a goose calling legend. I never met him or used any of his calls, but I believe he was a decent guy and obviously a great call maker. For those who don't know, he was spraying weeds around a pond and the 4 wheeler turned over on top him...

This man had been quite active on another forum for years. Lost his dog Cappy a few years ago and since then has been somewhat subdued. This is a very good read for all, not just dog guys. Got to admire his courage and candor...

It's been a few weeks since the close. Withdrawal setting in in a big way. I'm at the beach with the wife. (Not my favorite activity). So I am playing on the computer with some videos I shot in Argentina. The videos were shot with the Garmin VIRB camera and edited with the Garmin VIRB edit...

This is a pretty nice 9 mo. old yellow male from field trial breeding. I got him as a pup with intent to train as a field trial candidate. He is a very nice retriever but does not show me the hair on fire drive I am looking for in a field trial dog. He should make a very nice hunt test dog and...

Looking for a dozen, maybe 2, to repaint into mallards. Don't check private messages here much, so e mail at mperry1169@aol.com

The Old Man and The Boy and also The Old Man's Boy Grows up are well worth the read. Hard to believe that the guy who wrote them lived the life he did. Tremendous insights into life in both of those books.

Are all of the model 72's made from the heavy foam or were some made of plastic?

How about a pic when you get it done? What are you doing for blades? I'm thinking of just keeping the trolling motor intact and focusing the output thru a big piece of PVC or culvert pipe.

I have a couple of unused trolling motors that I am going to use to make ice eaters. Question is after I cut down the shaft to fit the trolling motor inside the PVC pipe or bucket, how do I make the hole where the wires go into the motor waterproof?

This pup is from the 3rd breeding of my Master hunter Thunder to a hunting dog dam. they have produced some incredible dogs from the first 2 litters. I have trained several and told myself to keep one, but I always have ended up selling them. This one is here to stay. don't ask. she is not for...

Since the oil boom you will find it difficult to get permission to hunt. You can't believe how much of the land is posted now. When I bought my farms up there several years ago there were almost no posted land, but now it is diametrically the opposite. Guides have leased a lot of land and...

Down here in Alabama it is hot during dove season but not like that. Google dove hunts in Alabama or Mississippi and you will find plenty of opps. A ,lot of the hunting lodges plant sunflowers and have really good shooting. I think the daily limit is 12 or 15. Dove hunts down here are a social...

I hunted in Argentina twice with a fellow from Minnesota named Bill True. He told me his father used to make duck calls with a brass reed system back in the 40]s and 50]s. They are from the northern plains. I have been trying to find some with not much luck. I stumbled on one about 3 years ago...

I have been more of a lurker here than a contributor, but since a lot of us are in withdrawal after waterfowl season is over, here is a chronicle of my trip to No Dak last fall. I own a few acres and a house in McCluskey and go every year for the 2 weeks that No Dak allows non residents. Some of...

One caution for you with absolutely no disrespect. I guided in Canada for several years. A lot of the hunting is dry filed hunting from lay out blinds. Be sure that your Dad can get up in time and be able to shoot. Ducks are quicker and faster then geese and shooting from a sitting on the...

Hunting in Ark. yesterday in tough conditions. Temp less than 20. Wind at 30. Mix of heavy snow and sleet. First shot easy crossing on a drake mallard, missed. Second on a drake again setting in the decoys, hit! Next group of spoonbills settled in the decoys at 25 yards. I'm going to get an...
