I saw this video posted on refuge forums. A new technique to me.

I am looking to add some coot decoys before next season. Thought I would check and see if I could find some used ones before buying new or painting a bunch of old decoys black. Thanks Mike
I saw Midway USA had 3", #6 Winchester Blindside for $7.05/box and 3", #4 Remington Hypersonic for $12.50/box. Free shipping on orders over $49. They do not offer free shipping on flats of ammo, but you can purchase by the box and get the free shipping.
What have people found that works well? This time of year I seem to be on my annual search for durable cushions that don't break the bank. Most of the $10-40 dollar commercial dog beds are pretty poor quality.
The best cushions I ever had were velour couch or love seat cushions I was given...
Been talking with a good friend who is a pheasant hunter about going duck hunting with me. Here is what he wrote: " Lots of stuff for waterfowl. Only need a dog and a gun for pheasants."
I was at Menards and walked by the hunting supplies. I saw they had some 4'X8' blinds that are made out of cane wired together. LL Bean used to sell a similar blind. Reminds me of a Venetian blind that could be used horizontal for a cockpit or lap cover or stand it vertical for a 4' tall ground...
I was having a hardtime getting motivated for early season after loosing my old hunting partner August 11. Also another hunting buddy who is a member of this site and only about 50 years old has early onset Alzheimers and is in a home already. I just learned in July that he was diagnosed.

14'Fiberglass Scott square back canoe. This is the duck canoe model and is olive drab in color. Rated for a 9 hp motor, 3 people, 500# and has oar locks for rowing. 41" wide and 15" deep. Great boat for hunting, trapping or fishing. Very good
The last 6 hunting seasons I had been doing a lot of hunting with an older gentleman. I always joked it was like hunting with a teenager, he always wanted to go hunting and he was always hungry. It was Paul's 89th birthday yesterday when they found him. We were planning to go out to eat at the...
I need to do a little pre-season decoy tune up work. I have painted plenty of Herters decoys but, I have never had to patch any. I recently picked up a few dozen goose floaters and a few need some work. I didn't know if bondo would fill in some of the bad spots or if there was something better...
Decided to do a scouting/float hunt today with the unseasonably warm weather. I'm floating this stream and I see a bird come thru the trees on the north side of the river up ahead of me about 60 yards and hook out over the river coming towards me. It cups its wings and flares it's long tail...
On the way to work a couple weeks ago I saw a Canada goose fly up and land on the edge of an old poured concrete silo that did not have a roof on it. On the way home the next day there was a pair of geese on top of a silo on the neighboring farm. So I took a quick picture on my phone. Low...
Any one build a snow cover for their boat? Im going to need 1 or 2 boats ready to go this next season to hunt an area that heats up late in the year. I have a marsh rat and a few 14' kayaks to work with. I have to be able to carry the boats a short distance, launch with out a trailer or ramp...
Here are some pictures of Roys boats that were emailed to me by Ray D.
The first picture is for the speed freaks.
I have 7 more pictures that are too large for me to post and I do not know how to resize them. If someone would like I can email them the pictures to post up.
The media has really run with this story. I hope nobody ever finds our dump site.

Anyone else have an opinion on the best time to buy. If a good deal comes up unexpectedly you need to pull the trigger, but if it is a planned purchase that is a little different. I have always liked to have a new boat in the summer before hunting season so I can take it out in warm weather and...
