    Looking for new way to rig decoys

    I can always walk out on solid ground to pick up decoys. At the most, 4 feet deep water

    Looking for new way to rig decoys

    have used many different methods over the years. Current rig is set up using a modified Texas rig system. It works well for gathering up ducks in the water to just hook them to a carabiner and throw in the boat. Also works well in cold weather as I don't get my hands wet and cold. Problem...

    Qeustionon boat registration

    I have another boat at the cabin to do the old "booze cruise". And its registered. In MN instead of WI but believe to be technically within the rules.

    Qeustionon boat registration

    So it looks like the Hoefgen (15') that will probably be using a mini mud motor has to be registered somewhere. What is still muddy to my cheap ,id is the Hoefgen is not required to be registered in MN as it is only used for duck hunting. Guess I may have to find the cheapest place to register...

    Qeustionon boat registration

    I don't think this has been asked before. I have 3 duckboats. Poke Boat is 12' long, Lund Ducker is 12' long and the Hoefgen is 15" long. Lund Ducker Boat I registered this past season in MN as it never had a VIN and I wanted to create one which required registration. In MN, if a boat is used...

    Opening Weekend

    Haven't seen anyone post their weekend reports so thought I would give it a go. We hunt the far western edge of MN. Right at the continental divide actually. The area is called the prairie pothole region and it is named correctly. Lots of public land available and with it comes many hunters...

    Do it all boat?

    I tried to find a singular boat to do all you require. I ended up with 4 boats. Just sold one and I am down to three. I now hunt solo most of the time and sold my boat that could have possibly hunted three and gear. I know have a 22 lb Poke Boat for pure carry in access. It is a solo kayak...

    Just cause I promised. Totally NDR again

    Took a picture of the sap problem on my deck. Hopefully this illustrates how time consuming it would be to remove each one scrubbing by hand. And this is just a small section of the deck as it wraps around the whole cabin. Did see lots of ducks this past weekend and hundreds and hundreds of...

    Totally NDR - removing White Pine tree Sap from wooden decking

    Thanks for the suggestion. WE have 15 chairs, 3 tables, a firepit, a smokerand a Blackstone on the deck. It would be a pain to move them everytime we come and go. And I would think that I would still have to walk on the atrp with say which would stick to my feet. I don't know. Something to...

    Totally NDR - removing White Pine tree Sap from wooden decking

    Got one worse. Was driving my truck home a fews weeks back. Could not avoid the freeway paint strippers. Got all over my truck. I tried everything I could think of with zero luck. Took it to my favorite shop. They tried everything with no luck. Ended up having to paint every panel except...

    Totally NDR - removing White Pine tree Sap from wooden decking

    I've looked at selective trimming but don't think I could eliminate the sap issue. These trees are huge. While I could get to the lower branches, there are still those over 100 feet tall I couldn't ge to. I may have to call our tree expert to come and see what he could do.

    Totally NDR - removing White Pine tree Sap from wooden decking

    Used a power washer the last couple of years. I have a lower pressure electric one that doesn'y damage the wood. Had to buy this one to pressure wash the logs the cabin is built out of. higher pressure would damage the wood without a doubt. I am considering renting a floor sander and run over...

    Totally NDR - removing White Pine tree Sap from wooden decking

    Latex paint. Paramount Brand from Menards. The total deck area covered is about 12' X 50". Can I brush or roll on the turpentine and then powerwash off? Not concerned about harming the paint. Recoating takes very little time compared to getting rid of the sap. Only way I found to do so is a...

    Totally NDR - removing White Pine tree Sap from wooden decking

    We have a few big white pines uo at our cabin and the branches hand over our wooden deck. Deck is coated with a Solid Stain. In the past 2-3 years, a significant amount of pine sap has dripped onto the deck making it basically useless as every time you walk on it, your shoes get the sap on...

    Brain trust plumbing help...

    I don't think this would work. Could maybe try the fast cure version of this. This family of products are moisture cure urethanes. They pull water from the air to cure. Don't know if they will cure when covered with soil but there is moisture in dirt.

    Beavertail Stealth flipover Blind

    Anyone know anything about this blind? I can see it possibly fitting very well on my ducker and solving some issues I have with my current blind. It has overhead camo, it would protect me from the rain and I could put a small ice fishing heater inside to keep me warm when the temperatures drop...
