I was handed 18 bead foam divers with good wood bottom boards, Herters 72 heads and Herters cast keel weights. I would like to trestle coat these with mastic/burlap for their owner as a summer project prior his return to the UP this fall to hunt. Never burlapped a decoy, so I am looking for...

I posted some exterior pics of this duck camp three or four years ago. It consists of a US Army Corps of Engineers quarters barge used to house dredging crews that were working waterways to engage in maintenance dredging of the shipping channels. Paul Sabatini purchaed it at auction in the...

The interesting back story on this buck: Lewis sent me a pic of a buck that had come down the field edge toward his treestand but had gone below a hgh spot and never reappeared. I blew the picture up until it started to really blur the rack. The first deer had much longer brow tines and G-2s...

Our opening weekend on the Great Lakes indicated we have more mallards than prior years, as well as more marsh courtesy of a near twenty inch drop in water levels. On the other side of that ledgert, I am glad I added the extra quarter inch of epoxy on my stern lifting pad based on the dolomite...

A guy I know is currently looking at a TDB-21'. Unfortunately, it was painted, boat and blind. He would like to remove the paint from both surfaces. Anyone have any expertise on removing paint from a fiberglass hull via media blasting with either walnut shells or ground corn cobs??

Three of us fished a Great Lakes tributary for steelhead prompted by a call from Kevin to tell me he was seeing near-constant "flashing" males (males flipped on the sides fanning the gravel to make a redd). We actually caught more fish, but two of us sorted fish to only keep hatchery origin...

We have had a number of low pressure fronts roll down the U.S./Canada border thus far, with very little noteworthy precipitation associated with them: https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/ Not looking very promising..

Worth the effort? What about confit using duck fat versus chicken fat?

Good to see snow falling in North Dakota. Hopefully there is a good frost seal to enable runoff to accumulate in the ponds later in the week.

I have a friend who is hunting with his kids on the eastern seaboard. Like me, he is a longline guy. Thus far he is not very impressed with decoy net sets to pull divers. Anyone with broad experience care to comment? What percentage of working birds opt to set-in versus fly past?
