Hunting rails from a nearly 100 year old boat......that would be incredible! One of my sons and I hunted marsh hens yesterday here in SC. We had a great time!

Thank you Larry! The older I get, the mightier and more daunting the Mighty Mississippi river seems to run at the End of the World. Prayers for safety for all this duck season!

Absolutely incredible photos!!! Thank you for posting! It's great to hear someone actually pronounce Quebec properly. :) Great video too!

you ought to be catching a good bit off this storm! My buddies are pumped! I have aerial photos of our camps, we made it unscathed! All my buddies are okay too. Answered prayers!

Lots of my Cajun brothers are in the midst of this storm. So far all is well for most of them. What is amazing is the teal movement during storms like this! One buddy in SWLA watched flock after flock of teal flying in from the South for 2 hours this afternoon! Another fella sent him this...

We run a ceiling fan all the time too but the bathroom fan is louder and might help her, especially if it's after the book on tape ends. Couldn't hurt to try

Just curious, have you tried playing white noise or leaving a bathroom fan on? A bath fan might be enough white noise to keep her calm through the night. We had to do that for my lab, more so to keep him from barking at everything (nothing) during the night.

Great looking refurb!!! I used a 2 inch pvc pipe and a rubber fernco with hose clamps to extend a 25 hp yamaha tiller. It worked like a champ. Our striper are schooling down here in SC, I'll be on them tomorrow! I used LED strip lights for bow lights, super bright!

Welcome Dave! I was born and raised in Detroit. Hunted MI until I was 18. My family has a long history of hunting Michigan. Looking forward to seeing your new rig!

Memories for a lifetime!!! I was 9 yrs old when I shot my first duck. Michigan "law" required youth to be 12 years old to legally hunt, my dad was born in 1918, he was old school. I had shot enough red squirrels at my aunts farm that he knew I was ready. Age is just a number anyway...

My sons and I all got these last year for Christmas. No problem yet. https://rogerssportinggoods.com/rogers-toughman-2-in-1-insulated-breathable-wader/

I don't blame you brother. I cringe telling folks I'm from SC when it comes to duck hunting, they don't always have a good reputation. I've lived in SC for nearly 40 years and we used to have ducks up until the late 90's when millions of grass carp were introduced into our lakes completely...

I'm asking myself the same thing! According to the USFWS data we went from 20,000 ('22) active duck hunters to 31,000 in 2023. 2022 total harvest was 150,000 ducks in 2022 and 298,600 in 2023! These numbers blew me away. According to harvest data, the number 1 duck harvested is our...

What is interesting to note is the increase in licensed hunter number increases in two States I hunt. SC jumped from 20,000 to 31,000 and LA from 35,700 to 55,300. I know we need more duck hunters but I wonder what triggered this increase in duck hunting.

What does this mean? "we made changes to our survey methodology and our online harvest survey application due to external security mandates and our ongoing efforts to enhance data collection processes." Are the survey's being conducted more accurate than previously? It would be awesome to...

Absolutely horrific.

I hunt S. Louisiana. It's easy to make a Cajun anchor. I use a ground rod, flatten one end and add a SS ring like on the commercially made below. Similar to these: https://www.hhlure.com/products/cajun-marsh-anchors?variant=616458377

Consider dragging a pirogue and small paddle, they are designed for bottomless marsh and will slide across mud and grass. I added spud holes to my pirogue so I can steady the boat when shooting in deeper water or soft mud.

I have a Carstens Puddler and hunt my pup behind me. I also have a Four Rivers Refuge Runner and hunt him off the rear deck or behind my layout seat. Pirogue spudded, dog hunts behind me. I had a marsh rat, too tight for both myself and the dog laying out in the marsh.
