Not sure what happened to my post, but I found this boat for sale in NC Ohio. 12 foot, glass over wood, trailer and about 4 dozen decoys. Asking $500. I know nothing about this, just saw it on Facebook Marketplace today. Jon

This ran a couple days ago. Very nice, I would say. (Sorry, I guess you'll have to copy and paste. I can't get the link to work otherwise)...

because I don't like to brag. Maybe a little more proud. At least it made me smile. I have been on a bit of a roll lately, carving, and giving away a few new birds. Knowing this, my friend asked me to carve and donate a decoy for the Ohio Decoy Collectors and Carver's Association Show this...

This is a longshot, but by any chance, is there anyone her traveling from NE Ohio to Western South Dakota in the near future? I want to ship a box of tools to my kid out that way, and shipping costs are kinda pricey... Just a shot, Jon

I spent a couple hours out in this relatively balmy, high 30 degree, sun filled weather this afternoon, catching up on a few things. One of which, was digging out my ice fishing shanty for a quick trip tomorrow. After I got it out, i noticed a funny, high pitched squeaking noise, but for a few...

Most of you have seen this picture over the years, either on my avatar, a couple times I've posted it for various reasons, or even as an advertisement. (It was used on a commercial guiding service webpage for a while). Anyways, my daughter and son-in-law gave this to us as a Christmas gift...

I was out on a solo hunt yesterday at my nearby State Park Reservoir. I put out, (THANKS GUYS), an, (unusually small spread, for me), odd number of 21 decoys. The spread did however contain eight different species. Anyways, I had three Bufflehead decoys kinda segregated off to themselves. I...

So as to not hi-jack the monthly workbench thread, I thought I would start fresh. Do I Qualify as an decoy Addict? What is/are the qualifications? See, I used to have well over 400 decoys of various shapes, sizes, species and materials. I have since sold and or traded a few away so I'm...

unfortunately, up until now, we were by having a good season. She retrieved all of my birds, plus birds for 3 of my friends, without any guidance from me. My one friend even quipped something to the effect of "after hunting with Annie, I have a whole new outlook on duck dogs. She's welcome in my...

Anyone on here, (as previously stated, the best site on the 'net), have experience with a disc sander? I have one of those old 9" disc, 6" belt sander combos. It has been sitting untouched for at least 15 years. How in the world do I get the old, slicked-back disc off? Heat? Chemicals? Scraping...

Anyone here ever saw up their own canvas decoy bags? Individual pocket type bags. I have a sewing machine, and a basic knowledge, but I've never attempted such a feat. Thanks, Jon

While perusing thru some old pics, I came across these. This 'ole boat hung in a late, dear friend's, local Orvis sporting goods store, in Rootstown, in NE Ohio. A fella on here named Tom, (darned if i can remember his last name, but he's from Michigan), showed interest in purchasing the boat...

Went out with an old time friend this morning, to a small, old marsh, that used to be a big marsh. I was lucky enough to snap this pic of my little single, black, female this morning. Thought it was worthy of sharing. By the way, while we saw a few birds, we didn't bring any home. Neither of...

A while back, I believe I posted a story about a Bufflehead decoy I carved for a young friend and member here, Ben Lambert. It was given to him as a gift not only as a good luck charm for his brand spanking new Bankes 19' boat rig, but also for his friendship and support. Well, a couple days...

Got myself a brand new, latest, state of the art smart phone a couple days ago, (not my first smart phone, just a new one with sufficient memory). Anybody have any recommendations for a good navigation, GPS type app. There's a bunch out there to choose from. Jon

This is by far my favorite website. I'm sure I am not alone in my opinion that one of the greatest gems of this site is Mr. Sanford. His love and passion for duck hunting is easily witnessed here, and greatly appreciated thru his willingness to share his knowledge with everyone here. His posts...

I have 1999 Mercury 25 hp long shaft 2 cycle outboard. I am looking for a factory-type trim and tilt set-up for it. (At this point in time, I AM NOT looking at an aftermarket unit, such as a CMC, or such). The motor I have has very low hours, is very lightly used, and starts and purrs like a...

In anticipation of the upcoming season, not to mention my recent bout of boredom, recently I did a quick inspection on my refurbished ZT Widgeon to find her in excellent shape EXCEPT for the little thumb sized hole some pesky little varmint chewed thru, right smack in the middle of the bottom of...

There is definitely power in prayer, and this site is loaded with that power! My doctor ordered a CT Scan about 10 ten days ago, (about half way thru my treatments), for which I had to wait a week to hear the results. Tuesday my wife and I sat in his office awaiting to hear. He came in as...
