The wheels are turning and plans are under discussion (in my head). I don't want to share my thoughts until I give it a sanity check with some hunting buddies. But stay tuned because it could be considered something brilliant.....or really dumb. My budget is $300 per man and I have 3 more crazy...
I just purchased a 5 oz can to try on over spray of closed cell insulation foam. I'll post the outcome of my test. Manufacture said keep it wet for 1 hour and it should wipe off. We will see.
I liberated this pontoon boat last Saturday 2/4/23 from 15 years of sitting behind a garage. I spotted her over 10 years ago and left a couple notes offering to purchase. I saw the owner at a local game dinner and I made my pitch again to rescue her with the promise of a bottle of bourbon and...
My Ducker is serial #0002, 1954. I traded a 12 foot John boat for it. Someone had covered it with fiberglass to control leaks. I striped the glass off, fixed the rivets and sealed all leaks. I hunt out of it 4-5 times per year. I get a kick out of it every time I use it.
Most of the Tiki bar comments come on the drive down to the shore in the fall when I stop for gas or when I launch the boat at the ramp. I also went with padded swivel chairs with backrest so it's real comfortable. Also made a sturdy dog ladder out of aluminum pipe and mesh that has worked out...
I've been meaning to share a picture of our Barnegat Bay sneak box. It's docked next to the public launch in Barnegat throughout the winter. She's a 29 foot x 9 foot fiberglas pontoon boat that most people think is a Tiki Bar. It can hunt 5/6 and a dog comfortably and includes a porto john and...
Dani and Family,
I didn't know Steve, but after reading so many kind words, I think we all wish the same could be said of us: husband, mentor, friend, a character and someone to be admired. People like Steve make all of us better. So sorry for your loss.
$10.00 hen penalty, that's a club who is thinking about the future of duck hunting. I'm sure there is lots of ribbing when it's time to ante up. Thanks for sharing.
With the reduction in Mallards in the Eastern fly way I'm making every effort to "Save the Hens". Duck hunting requires a ton of effort so it's hard to pass up any legal shot, but opening day I did pass up a Mallard Hen to be rewarded with two nice Drakes (a NJ limit of Mallards). I'm sure...
Dani, you have a great perspective, "I will see you again someday". Never easy to say goodbye forever, but it's not forever. It will only seem like a moment has passed when we are reunited with the pets and people we love and who loved us. And of course we are loved the most by our hunting...
Was sent this link by a friend who knows I love being in a blind. You guys down south I'm sure know this artist and his songs.

There is nothing better than puppy kisses. Get ready to loss some furniture finish and at least one pair of good shoes. Congratulations on the new family member.
I just had to get out this past Tuesday. Despite the lack of birds in NJ, I promised Dude we would try again before we got froze out. The mile hike was easy because of the anticipation of the hunt. It felt like it could be one of those unexplainable perfect hunts. The birds line up, feet down...

Whelped a litter of AKC registered pups on 12/8/2015. Ready to go home 1/30/2016. 3 girls remain, 2 blacks and a yellow. $800 each. I'm not a professional dog breeder, I'm a hunter that loves to share the thrill and passion of owning, training and hunting with a faithful and trusted companion...
