    Introduction + Question: New VA Hunter

    I’ll echo the calls for a TDB. Seems like the best fit for your needs while still being relatively easy to find compared with some other dedicated duck boats. I’ll also add one thought that covers any boat. A lot of duck hunters I see on the water only go out during the duck season, that is to...

    SITKA replaced my too tight Wader boots with new boots

    I had the same issue after getting my waders warrantied last winter. I’ve got high arches and the new boots they put on were impossible to get off and very tight on the top of my foot. Sitka agreed to replace them for a larger size, but they were still tight on that dimension. I pulled the...

    The "best" grass boat for two hunters and a dog? TDB vs DuckBoss?

    I have an original DB 13 (the pre-cursor to the Duck Invader, which has a wider bow, which has since been re-named back to Duck Boss. Not confusing at all!). I run a 15hp 2-stroke on it. To your question I look at it two ways: 1. Handling: just myself and my lab (65 lbs) it has plenty of get up...

    What new waders are you guys using?

    I have the Sitkas as well. Had them warrantied for a branch through the ankle and they fixed it at no cost and even covered shipping. Boots came back as a newer model and didn’t fit the same, so back they went (6 months later I might add) for a larger boot, still at no cost. They turned them...

    Aging Ducks; Anyone Try This?

    I do it with most puddle ducks (as long as they’re not gut shot). Texture has never been my issue with sea ducks so they get dealt with immediately. Most of my hunting is on weekdays before work, so I generally hang them and then give them a few days before processing. I’ve got a fridge that I...

    De-Shining webbing - DB13 Dodger

    Process pictures. I ended up spray painting the webbing. As you can see the grass is a mix of Blind Grass (had a bunch laying around from my previous blind) and raffia. I like the look of the two from a texture standpoint. I expect it'll match well with the freshwater tidal systems I hunt where...

    De-Shining webbing - DB13 Dodger

    One more coffee thought: I purchased a roll of aviary netting for grassing the deck. My thought was that I could easily lash the netting to fit the deck profile and have a number of places to tie grass in. In looking at the webbing on decks, it seems like that approach will be more secure than...

    De-Shining webbing - DB13 Dodger

    Perfect. Thanks, Carl! I’ll grab a can and try it on some spare webbing I’ve got.

    De-Shining webbing - DB13 Dodger

    Never heard of it before. Quick search seems like I'll need an airbrush to use it...is that right?

    De-Shining webbing - DB13 Dodger

    After jealously seeing all the pictures of grassed dodgers, I finally decided to take the plunge and have one made for my Duck Boss 13. Thankfully a good friend has a marine canvas business and did what I am incapable of doing well - sewing! However, the seatbelt webbing I used has a LOT of...
