    dog question for those who know more than me

    have you considered leaving Belle at home in a boarding kennel. that way you can work one on one with the new dog and give it a lot more focus and attention than switching dogs back and forth just a thought

    Would you help out?

    most government affiliated units are banned from using zoom because of the "lack of security" at our university and government programs we are only allowed to use Webex and MS Teams

    Alumacraft ducker

    Jeff, I appreciate the thought about the sport boat. it was my fathers. it has been in the family for close to 60 years. even though I haven't used it in a couple of decades; I just can't bring myself to part with it. besides that, I am in Iowa; which is a looong ways from Maine.

    Alumacraft ducker

    I have owned 5 or 6 of them over the years. They are a cool looking boat. like previously stated; paddling doesn't work well. I found that push poling was the best mode of propulsion. I didn't like using them as much as my other pumpkin seed (it's set up for a 3 hp weedless OB) and it...

    Stay warm y'all

    minus 14 actual here this a.m. 30+ mph winds with gusts to 50 wind chill minus 40 ish. the temps are livable; it's the wind pushing hard which makes things difficult. extra hay for the horses and locked one in. We have a mare that likes to be bossy and keep everyone else out of the run in...

    Grumman Sport Boat and Canoes

    wow, wow, wow. I wish I would have known about that auction that 17ft sport boat was a steal, especially since you hardly ever see them for sale. I know a guy that would have paid double the price that it sold for. and even the price on the 15 ft was cheap the going rate that I see...

    Grumman Sport Boat and Canoes

    when i click on the link; it shows me "sold" firetrucks. anyway, I have my Dad's sportboat tucked away in the corner of the barn. I hunted out of it a few times and considered it a "death trap" that boat was pretty easy to roll to the side. I had it wedged in the cattails one time and...

    Decoy spread

    as previously stated, grass the motor. also, you might try a couple of canvas back decoys for some "color". and I am a believer in big spreads. out here everyone runs 3 to 4 dozen duck blocks. I run 6 to 8 doz. if everyone out there is running 8 to 12 decoys either go to 4 or 20...

    How to kill a skunk?

    we have cats at the barn to keep the rodents in check. My wife also supplements their diet with dry cat food. the left over food is a magnet for possums, skunks, and raccoons. i have live trapped dozens of critters out of the barn over the past 10 years. we have a crick that runs through...

    How's the migration in your area?

    the duck hunting in central Iowa and in northern Nebraska has been slow. the drought in the prairie's has definitely had an effect. The birds harvested have typically been adults rather than juveniles. our hay ground production was down on average 50%. corn and bean yields were all over the...

    Sometimes you just have to shake your head in disgust...

    I have seen a truck and trailer that were blocking the ramp get hooked onto and towed out of the way. I have not witnessed it in person but I have heard of hitch pins getting pulled and tossed into the weeds.

    I was able to bring home something I have dreamt about for years

    Ed, good thought on the 4 rivers seat. I had not seen that one. It looks like the back is higher than the Momarsh; which would be good. If their seats are as well made as their boats; then it should be a winner. we have owned/used a half dozen of the 4 rivers boats over the years they...

    County Line 1038

    I was able to bring home something I have dreamt about for years

    like Steve said, sometimes here in the midwest we call them duck skiffs but the more common names are pumpkin seed or many are just calling them "layout boats" a lot of people have gone to these small, low profile boats with a mud motor on them. they are using them like a layout out blind...
