As I thought more about this, you may have to start without a bumper, on a lead. Practice recalling him to heal while on a check cord. If he stops, turn around and walk. When he gets close, turn to him and squat down. Give him praise. When he has that down, practice it off lead, until he is...

I'm not a pro trainer, but I have had a bunch of red dogs. If he starts the chase me game, turn around and walk away from him. He won't be able to stand it and will run after you. When he gets close, bring him to heal. Don't be in a hurry to grab the bumper, let him hold on to it. Then...

Eric - I have a Harker ringbill hen that I would be very happy to send to his grandson. Its never been hunted.

It looks a lot like my boat. It was built by Bob Brown in the early 2000s and I believe its built on the plans shared in the reply above. I first saw the plans in the Zack Taylor book. I bought the boat as it looks in the pic.

So do they circle the decoy rig counter clock wise???

I will elaborate on Kevin's suggestion a bit. Take a grinder to the welds and remove the "ugliness". The purpose is two fold, getting rid of ugliness but more importantly, making sure that your welds actually penetrated and that the metal flowed together. You want to do this check because a...

Eric - thanks for sharing the podcast, it was great!

When we lived in Florida, I worked in downtown Orlando and there was a flock of bluebills that would come into Lake Eola every morning and leave around 11:00 am. The history museum has a pictures taken in the early 1900s of women feeding 500 "ducks" on L. Eola and every one is a blue bill...

Done!

Dax - he makes that blue wing look huge! Nothing wrong with a little "duck flavor" in the mouth when they are little!

I sent you a PM. Pic to show that you aren't the only one messing with BSC!! We just don't talk about it! ;)

Shared by request - this was lunch in a 160 year old restaurant, on our way back to Buenos Aires.

I am not going this year, but here are some pics from our trip in 2018. If you ever wanted too go, I encourage you to jump in. The lodge is 4 hours south of Buenos Aires and very remote. I think I saw a total of 7 humans outside of our group for the whole week. The hunting was fabulous, the...

I always wondered what you did with that Black Brant! I hope somebody finished it.

Hey Nick - did your BIL share any stories about his grandfather's hunts? I started hunting on L. Ontario in the early 80s and I remember clouds of blue bills on the lake. I would bet that those blocks saw a good amount of action If they could only talk~! Nice looking blocks.

Anthony - I am on the other side of the state and hunt the Niagara River and while the dates are different, the experience is exactly the same. We get our birds after Long Point Ontario freezes up and we used to have dates that went into the second week of January. Not any more, and like you...

A while back, someone posted about not needing anymore decoys so they were going to stop carving. GW jumped on the person and when I shared the same sentiment with GW, he jumped on me! So it took a while but I found a goal that is a bit different. I never paid a whole lot of attention to LL...

I think everyone is missing the officer's true motivation here....he was obviously protecting HIS new hunting spot and didn't want Eric & Co building blinds. The chief may be his hunting partner and if I know anything about politics, the DA is his father in law and president of the Police Duck...

Brad, Your pic brought back a flood of memories. I started my teaching career in Cabarrus county and moved to York County, SC after grad school. My shop looked EXACTLY like yours! The Ag shop was on one side and the Auto shop on the other. We built scaled concrete canoes and a couple of...
