16 ft Bass Tracker with a retrofit Avery Quickset, 70 hp mariner (no cripple has yet to escape).

Benelli Super Nova and a Charles Daly that I use for a back-up boat paddle.

I have both; 3.5 in the Cabelas and 5 mm in the Mad Dog. Wear the 3.5mm in the early season and the 5's on those super cold mornings.

I want to say I read somewhere that more ducks nested south of the Canadian border than they did north for the first time ever. I've read harvest reports for Oklahoma and Texas that were up greatly in numbers. Which leads to my theory: Many of the tributaries and streams north of the Canadian border ...

Yep. Bout the only field that had water left. Ducks poured into that place.

to a rice field close to Falcon this morning....west side of the Coldwater river. I have never seen that many ducks work one field in all my life. Son is only 9 so he has a ways to go before mastering his shooting. Had a blast seeing all the ducks work and listening to the greeting calls of ole ...

What do I need? Other than: boat, gun. and what kinda duck call, and decoys? Any tips will be appriceated. I need whatever help I can get, to be ready for next season! Thanks.

Starting out, unless you have an unlimited amount of cash to spend, I would go with a good pump like a Benilli Super Nova ...

Let me know what your looking for and maybe I can help.

Seth?

When I got the call from Up2Early to join him on a hunt this morning, I knew I was in for a treat. However, when he told me that his two boys, ages 6 and 10, were coming, I got really excited. There is just something about taking kids to the woods and seeing the look on their face when mallards are ...

You'll have better luck going to Ballard Park in Tupelo. Trust me.

All the ducks got a stimulus bailout and didn't need to migrate. Thanks DU and Obama!

The early reports said the duck numbers were up tremendously and for the first time there was a large amount of birds that nested south of the Canadian border. The only theory that ...
