Great video. Strange, because while I have done this for years with venison, I have never given a thought to doing it with waterfowl or other birds. Next springs turkey will definitely be hung. RM
Are there any Nebraska residents or anyone else who could advise my wife and I on upland hunting SW Nebraska Thanksgiving week. Specifically information on Quail and the habit that they like and where to find it. Thanks, RM
The Devlin Poleboat (sneakboat with oars) performed great in Saskatchewan the ONE day we were actually able to use it. A foot of snow dropped the day after we arrived which made the roads impassable with a small boat trailer the first two days and when it melted, the fields too muddy to traverse...
Can anyone recommend a good marsh seat for walk-in hunting? Alot of the younger hunters I know purchase items from Dive Bomb Industries and they have one that gets good reviews however I've experienced too many shady businesses practices from this company to do business with them again. The...
My wife Heather and I just returned from Tulsa OK with a new ATC PLA 450 series toy hauler. Just enough room for a small sneak boat; 11'7" available length inside. If I'm not mistaken the Devlin Broadbill should fit perfectly. Anyone else who uses a toy hauler to transport their duckboat?
My mission of late is expounding the virtues and many uses of UHMW. Due to its cost, any scraps are squirreled away for future projects. Since I needed buttons for my oars I thought it would be fun to make some rather than keeping UPS busy. The materials and tools used included .500" uhmw, 3"...
Hey Guys and Gals, I wondered if you had some photos or ideas for grassing a Devlin Poleboat. I have a trip to Saskatchewan coming up and could use some suggestions. Early in my build I made the mistake of an oval cockpit; a nightmare for installing flapper boards. The boat is complete and I...
Everybody learns differently and I have always felt blessed that picking up new information by reading books has worked well for me. One example of that is learning to shoot; grateful because I cannot afford a shooting school. For the past few years I have endeavored to erase 45 years of poor...
Lately my neighbors (retired) have been giving me a hard time for working on my duck boats and not spending time with them. This has given me alot of food for thought. First of all, what have they created in the time that I've known them. Nothing. Secondly, I've been able to enjoy duck hunting...
The other day I was reminiscing about my grand parents. They were dairy farmers and each summer I'd stay on the farm and help with chores. My Granddad is the one who planted the epoxy seed in the fertile mind of a young boy. He would occasionally fix things that needed fixin' and I would watch...
Once again WILDFOWL magazine has published a short but interesting article on the various types of sneakboats and how their use can improve the hunt. Look for the June/July issue. Richard
Early season success! My wife Heather and I both scored the first day of turkey hunting in Minnesota. Tough conditions; 30 mph winds but the toms were not henned up. Off to South Dakota in a couple of weeks.
