It has been a couple weeks since Brian Story helped me let Belle not have her last day be her worst. She was no doubt a way better duck dog than I was a duck hunter or trainer. It was her God given ability that always amazed me and made me proud. She has hunted with a few folks on this forum and...

Two posts in two days must be some kind of record for me! But, I need to ask about waders. I need to get some more and hate buying something that only lasts at best two seasons. I did go to breathables on this last go round and like them (lacrosse swamp fox) but I wanted to see what folks are...

I found this "duck canoe" on CL and got it for a song. This is the only picture I have right now but will get some more this evening. I did dig into the foam and found an ant colony so I treated for those before continuing. It has been patched a couple times and the guy thinks maybe the spud...

Anybody out there with any experience in making one of these? I built a shop this past summer and will get around to outfitting it this spring. I have piddled with decoy carving in the past but may give it more of a whirl now with some space. To that end I have seen several guys that use these...

Dr. Story did a little scouting last week and found a few Mergansers in our duck deprived waters here in North Alabama. Their number and ease of access to the area they were using along with the abnormally warm weather made for the perfect situation to bring my daughter along. She did not want...

Fowl Foolers all painted as drakes. Burlapped with weighted oak keel. All 4 for $75 or $20 a piece. Located in North Alabama. They are at least 21" long and 10"wide. http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j467/shawnduck/b5bceb26.jpg

Anybody heard of these plans from back in the sixties? I saw a couple of items on craigslist and did some searching and found out a little about them. I called and got a catalog coming my way. They do not have a web presence but the lady on the phone was very nice and helpful. Let me know if...

I picked up a Navarro canoe off of craigslist yesterday that needs new gunwales due to rot. I have done some reading on the net about different techniques, but I wanted to see if any of ya'll have done this. Ash seems to be the wood of choice, but I would listen to other suggestions. I am...

We got an MLB supermag for layout hunting here on our T.V.A. lakes in North Alabama, and being "newbies" to layout hunting I did some research into ways of transporting the mlb. It seemed like most folks used a cradle that rested on the gunnels, so after a test run with a mocked up cradle we...

Not including the fine taxidermist that visit this site, has anyone tried this with a kit? I have a Vandykes catalog, and in the back they have a duck mounting kit for $13.99. It reads something like... "with a few household tools and this kit you can mount your own duck" I have a couple of teal...

Has anybody tried this? I have a line on some free hulls, and thought you might could make a decent small water sneak boat out of one. They range from 8-12 ft. long. I would imagine they are fairly heavy though. They have been stripped to the bare hull, so part of the work is done already. I...

Guys, I received a McAlister pullover for Christmas this year, and I wanted to get some info from those of you that have some of their stuff. The X-large I ordered seems very small, does their stuff run small? I hate to get into a two week shipping war with these folks trying to get the right...

I just acquired a little 3 h.p. Johnson off of craigslist. I know some of you have experience with these little motors (Harker?) Anyway, my dad picked it up for me in Chattanooga. He said it had good compression, but as I expected the carb is all gummed up. I found a few good sites on the tune...

I saw this on govdeals.com and thought someone might have a need for these. Shawn http://www.govdeals.com/eas/itmDisplay.cfm?itemID=1234&acctID=284

As many of you know Brian Story won the trip that Jeff Coats gave away back in the fall. It was a three man two day trip and he invited Brandon Sivley and I to go with him. Having never been to the Eastern shore area, we were like kids in a candy store seeing signs for Salisbury, Easton and all...

Does anybody have the contact info for Rob Leonard? I can not get the Kara website to come up. I was looking to get a set of plans. Thanks in advance. Shawn

I ordered some decoys and a kennel cover a few weeks ago (8/06) and received the decoys in about three days. Well I have been waiting on the cover thinking it was backordered. Since it had been a while I dug the bill out of the decoy box and to my surprise it said that the cover was in the...

Guys I am a Golf Course Superintendent and I need help with a little project at work. We use a cooler made to drop in the back of a utility cart as our traveling beverage service. It is made of fiberglass mat it looks like to me. The young lady who operates the cart had an accident (read as the...

Big thank you to Dave Shady. My daughter got her call yesterday and all I can say is wow!!! Thanks again Dave for your generosity. Shawn

Heres a couple I have been able to get to sound like a duck. These are some cedar limbs that Brian and I cut on our bodoc quest a couple of weeks ago. Edward Lindsey met us there and suggested that I cut some of the dead lower limbs of of a huge cedar and turn them. Thanks Edward, they turned...
