Well, my workbench still seems to consist of being miniature. I'll get to some ducks again one day.

The investigation is over from a plane crash that killed 4 high school duck hunters back in 2022 off the NC coast. Shame what happened since it appears the pilots negligence is the reason the plane crashed. Everyone stay safe out there...

Has anyone seen Vince? it doesn't seem like he has been on since the site transitioned.

What's the report from everyone on their season this year? Disappointing? Exciting? Better than expected? This has been a better year for me than the last few years since the 2017-18 season. I didn't have huge quantities but have had some quality hunts. Found a new place to hunt that has...

Well as 2023 rolls in I walked out to my shop and noticed all the in finished projects that are cluttering the space and decided I really need to catch up on things. Having 3 young boys makes for little time and painting the decoys that are stacked up is a challenge since I might be pulled away...

The tundra swan visit me every year in the fields near my house but normally never in the field right behind my house. So this year I asked permission from the father-in-law to put a dyke in the ditch to flood the field out some. With the dry year the field sat with no water for a couple months...

I've been throwing ideas around about moving out west and Wyoming has been the main state of appeal to me. I know several people here have traveled through the west on adventures and wondering if any wondered through Wyoming or if any one lives there. Want to get y'all's opinion of the areas...

And I choose to go squirrel hunting in my mother-in-laws back yard. My oldest had a good time and there are plenty more for tomorrow or next weekend. Ended with 6 because I didn't have time to clean 8.

Was cutting up a hickory yesterday and found some mushrooms on a dead section. Looking at my mushroom book the only thing I see that seems to fit its profile is an oyster mushroom but want to see what some of y'all say. It's a decent size with the singles measuring up to 5" across

On Friday evening my oldest brother Joshua, and I scouted a piece of our property where we have shot a few turkeys in seasons past. We saw two toms and some hens go into the pine and hardwood hills that are next to a swamp, which is where I also do some wood duck and squirrel hunting. We never...

has anyone here ever had nature bring a pet to you? I know Al Hansen has a bunch of quail that frequent his back yard every day, so does anyone else have wildlife they "tend" to? It seems that I have acquired a pet and there is no returning her. A couple weeks ago a squirrel showed up at my...

I would have like to post this sooner but haven't had time to get it together and on a post. Earlier this month I was fortunate to have a spur of the moment trip come up for work that allowed me to travel to Roswell, NM. As soon as they asked me if I could go I immediately thought of Al...

Okay, probably not going to be some magazine worthy article like Dani's but here's my adventure in Kodiak. To start off, I work for a contract company that works for the Coast Guard on overhauling their C-130's. Whenever there are special modifications or major structure work needed on...

Just want to remind everyone that coming up in November we will be doing the annual mini decoy swap again. Last year was fun to see the different birds and I hope to see even more this year. So get those knifes out or the power tools and make a miniature or two and be ready to add to your...

Figured I'd start a whole new post so if someone tried to search it sometime in future all the information will be in one spot and not in workbench posts. So yeah started this project over a year ago I believe and it went through changes as I built it. I drew up a pattern and by the time I...

Well y'all might remember the turkey I started last year. Well I finished the body and it's on to paint along with a swan which my helper is working on some. Turkey has removable fan, head and wings and debating if I want the beard permanent or removable
