I'm posting this for a friend of mine. TWO DUCKBOATS FOR SALE Two Carsten fiberglass layout boats, a 10’ Puddler model (weight 70#) and a 13’ Pintail model (weight 100#). Both oval cockpits, with fitted wood floors. With paddle for the Puddler and fitted oars for the Pintail. Both in good...

For those that may not remember I stumbled on some rather large canine tracks at my farm. After some discussion about if they were domestic or wild the consensus was wild based on path and gait. (not wondering, very deliberate path, tracks one right in front of the other) I got a text...

I know this is kind of late notice but I give Ira first crack at shipping a boat east. Since he doesn’t have one he needs to go that direction I’ll throw it up here. I’ll be making the trip to Westlake this coming weekend and will have room to put a boat in the back of the truck. Downside is...

While walking along the top of a new berm i built at the farm I came across this track. It was one of only one set that started from the end of the outer field at my farm toward the main Missouri River levee. The set of tracks was straight as an arrow and it ran for about 100yds but the...

A couple weeks ago I had business take me to Boston and after much pleading from Hank Garvey I decided to take him up on his generous offer to put me on some sea ducks while in the area. Hank and Mary made wonderful hosts and opened up their beautiful home to a duck hunter who’s closest use of...

We had our first round of ice this past week which pushed almost all of the birds off the farm. They've eaten almost all the food so I wasn't surprised when they left. With more cold on the way this week I figured now was as good a time to shoot it as any. Fun hunt with some good friends...

It's been a real joy to watch this show for the last two weeks. I think I hit it about as perfect as I could and have learned a ton by watching where they land how they feed, etc.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say she hasn't been in the middle of something like this.hehehehe Today was a flight day. Bluebird, or as pilots call it severe clear. Southwest wind at 20-30 and birds poured in all day. most of these were taken between noon and 1.

Looking across the field to the main pool A few new arrivals

Have been letting the man cub do a little shooting with dads iron but had to warm up in the fog with the red rider. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v611/Markmo/HoCoMo/Cadesfirstteal5.jpg Have always told him his first duck can be on the water but the next one has to be on the wing. Well...

Seep water in the main field, a 10yd ring around all of this will be left standing and flooded for this fall. Ditch in the north end of the same corn that will be flooded. I’ll leave a 15-20’ strip standing on either side of this ditch. New berm and road to outer field will need some...

First day of summer and it's been busy. With all the flooding we've all but given up on corn for the farm up north. We need to do some dirt work this summer so we got the water off earlier than normal and instead of losing this area to trees and sump weed we planted it to a long maturity...

This past week I was asked to follow along and play guest host to the Migration Nation TV show as the cameras rolled to South Dakota following the migration north. We hooked up with Drake Field Expert Aaron Eberle on a spring snow goose hunt. First things first, time to stop by Cabela’s in...

Dave, Check you PM.

More progress at the farm, I met with NRCS last week as 22 acres of my farm is EWRP about a proposed project. At that meeting they gave me the go ahead to raise this road (my easement through the WRP) by 4’. This will allow me to gain access to my outer field in any condition except for a...

Funniest line I've heard was. "I seen bigger blizzards at Dairy Queen and if it had oreos in it I'd have eaten my way to the curb in 30 minutes." -15f on the backside of the storm made digging out "fun" but the neighborhood started at about 9 and when one made it to the street we'd go down to...

Started putting water on the place last week, things are starting to take shape. Main pool about 80% flooded A few teal have found the water along with a pile of shorebirds and snipe!! Also syphoning water over the levee into my woods Free 4”pump,hehehehe North end looking back...

I Finally finished up the last of the mowing, discing, seeding, and harrow work this afternoon. I have a couple more deer plots to put in but those will wait till a little cooler weather. This will be a new addition to the flooded pool it’s full of wild and jap millet along with some pigweed...
