What is it they say, "everybody has a plan until they get hit in the face"? Lol. That stream is where I caught my first trout on a fly, at the age of 13-14. The photo was from my first time back up in that area in about 30 years. On that trip, my wife caught a nice brown trout in the same...

Nice painting...reminds me of a photo someone took of me while I was trout fishing a few years ago. Has that same feel of an honest moment captured.

A woman was talking to her best friend... "When I started dating Joe twenty years ago, I asked him, 'what bad habits do you have?' and he said, 'I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, I don't play cards or bet on horses, I don't golf or shoot pool, I don't run with easy women or prostitutes...my only...

I've seen one of his before; I think he makes a good product...just didn't know if he was still doing it or not.

Ok, so I see Diane at Custom Decoy Bags is shutting down her business. Is there anyone that still makes slot bags for decoys? I'm not really a fan of any of the commercial bags I've bought over the years; my Avery bags all have dry rotted handles and need to be replaced...only made it 20 years...

I still have the Barney plans...want to build a boat so badly I can taste it, but if I have another boat it might cost me a wife, so I just dream....lol

The last time I was in NOLA was about six months after Katrina...it still looked like "Escape from New York". I do want to go back, but I have a hard time getting that vision out of my head. I was volunteering through Rotary helping rebuild houses in areas outside of NOLA, and we went into...

With that back deck it looks a lot like a rail skiff...but not...

I think Lou Tisch at Lock, Stock and Barrel used to sell them...did a quick image search and that was the first image on the page... Edit to add...he did. They were 6 foot long fiberglass, either kit or finished.

Have had shingles once, on my head. Did not get to my eyes, thankfully, but it was not fun. My paternal grandmother used to deal with shingles on her body, and that was a bad deal. Got the vaccine (two part) a couple years ago. Had my first colonoscopy last year. Getting older is not for...

So, a couple weeks ago, a young man I've started hunting with killed a banded pintail down here in Arkansas. His first pintail, and the band was so worn, many of the numbers were gone. He was able to get some acid and read the numbers and turned it in. Turns out the pintail was banded in 2012...

What a great boat! Love it...

Agreed on many points - once there is "a rule", it doesn't die an easy death. I think it will be moot beginning in about five years as people figure out Arkansas is well past its prime and go to Oklahoma, Kansas, Michigan, etc. But people management is easier than wildlife management...faster...

Did not know that...you get exactly what I'm talking about with duck numbers, then.

No. It wasn't sweetened, but it was probably one of the few areas around the State that had water on opening weekend. We were very low on rainfall. That kind of sight used to be common in Arkansas timber, even on public ground. That's one reason why it is so addictive. I have had ducks...

I get it, mostly; however, the out of state license cost isn't going to deter people. Maybe at $750, but even at that there will be some. And that "breaking a few eggs" is well and good until you're the guy on the wrong end when some group swears they were there before you, and you wind up...

Greenwing drake finished up for Delta Waterfowl's annual decoy hunt. It was finished just prior to Thanksgiving, but I am just now getting to post it. No carving over Christmas, but spent it with my dad, his wife, and my sister, brother-in-law, and niece. First time we have all been together...

Arkansas has shot size and shell limit restrictions on many of the WMA's. Some also have HP restrictions, but on Black River, that's just not a possibility and could be a liability for G&F. Same with the hulls - in some of the WMA's, you could run a 12-foot boat, but there are some that on...
