I am in NE Ohio. Willing to travel a short distance, 200 miles.

Long story short I?ve been hunting bodies of water that I want to wear flotation on. I have bought and returned two different flotation coats because I found them bulky and cannot layer with, let alone shoulder a gun. I?ve been wearing my life vest while running and setting decoys but take it...

Over two years ago I shared that my best friend, Jon Yenulonis passed away. The following spring I lost my original duck partner, my father. It has taken a while to regain interest in waterfowling. I haven?t been carving or hunting. I have been out a few times recently and am starting to...

After taking a whole season off for a variety of reasons, I am trying to motivate myself for next year. I?ve decided that I want to collect an Eider. My duck hunting partner and I were supposed to go last December but he passed away before we could do it. I?ll likely be alone unless I find...

it is with great sadness that I wanted to share that my dear friend, and great contributor to this site lost his battle with Cancer Friday evening. He was like a father and a brother to me. I am broken. He had many friends and acquaintances on this forum. Please join me in praying for...

The tides turned, and as Jon Yenni pointed it could only go up this week. Two days ago we saw hoards of buffleheads, bluebills, scoters, Ruddies, and a few cans. The stayed wide and went into a cove out on the great bay. We filled the morning with a few dippers and a hen bluebill, which was...

Day one on the Eastern shore of Va, and with mix results. Let's start with the positives. 1. I didn't miss a duck. 2. I finally got to shoot something over the decoys I laboriously made two years ago of the intended species. 3. I finally brought home birds in the newish boat and...

Just a few weeks shy of 20 years ago I began a journey of obsession. The Wild Turkey, known around my house as "the dirty bird", is an affliction of mine this time of the year. In January I start having the "turkey dreams" and sleepless nights. The sickness started ironically the day I called...

For sale used Cabelas Alaknak tent. About five years old. It is the 12x12 version. Attn- tent has small tear in one side that we patched with the kit that was included with the tent. This tear is still a source of heated debate in our home as the wife is the one who did it. It is between...

I travel a fair amount for work on the Eastern part of the country and I am always wondering if I am in the area of fellow members. I spend a lot of evenings flipping throw channels at the hotel and would love to meet up sometime with other members as an alternative. I might even be willing to...

Bear with me, I am about to use a bunch of terms incorrectly, but here goes. On my wife's fishing boat our motor has power tilt and trim. It is two stages, one really slow while in the lower position, and I presume this is the trim portion, and the second stage, as it raises up goes really...

I am up early in an earnest effort to to hopefully have a reason to make the gun go bang today. My workbench is clean and will stay that way as I try to find birds in January for the first time in my career by heading a little south to explore into Southern Ohio. In February I will begin...

I unwrapped a complete surprise this morning, one of the first times that I didn't have a clue what my wife was getting me. A companion duck call to my Bob Furia custom goose call. It looks great and sounds even better!

Sitting here, listening to the wind howl, and the cloudy night and wishing that the season was in! I have 12 handmade divers, a new boat, blind and motor and a puppy in her first full season all waiting to make their debut, and the season is closed. What is a guy to do? I hate to resort...

Wading stick, marsh crutch, I don't care what you call it. What do you use? After taking two unceremonious swims in a marsh yesterday and and crawling on hands and knees in some bad muck using my gun for support on Sunday, I am ready to admit that maybe I need a third leg sometimes. A...

Next Friday my old man and I head to Wyoming to try to harvest some pronghorn. It has been hard to get enthused as things here are so busy. Work is busy, kids are busy, house needs tending. But I need to take this trip. I need to take my dad. He spend much of his 20's summering in...

I am wrapping up my first few gunners (boy did I underestimate how long it takes to make a decoy!) and have set down the rasp and brush to contemplate the future of some other blocks I have. My grandfather who lived on Chautauqua lake in NY made a small spread of divers out of cedar about...
