Personally, I could care less if the season was extended to March 31st as long as we don't threaten the resource.

The Anchor Inn is on Quiver Beach Road. Quiver Beach Road is a RH turn off of Manito Blacktop, just S of the bridge over Quiver Creek.

When I was in the club down there, one of the owners had a cabin we all stayed at in Buzzville (the low rent section of Goofy Ridge LMAO). Buzzville is just down ...

Yer goin the wrong way. I have hunted Senachwine but this is closer to Havana.

I admit it, I try and get every last ounce of use from my clothes. The shirt is a hand me down from my late father, so I find a bit hard to part with em or for that matter to not wear em. The ...

It blew for about a week straight here then finally - snow, wind and cold! About 4" I would say. The wind blew up a few drifts better than a foot and it has been in the teens here with wind chills closer to zero. The crazy thing is, I went bass fishin' on Sunday in just a sweatshirt.

All this good ...

Watch out for what you wish for regarding PETA.

At one time, the Grand American Flyer Championship was held near my home at a place called Holfords Gun Club in Canton, IL. It was a pretty big affair with names such as Doug Fuller, AJ "Smoker" Smith and the like showing up for it. Well ...

Couple years ago they had a special on the Discovery Channel about millitary camo and its evolution. The next generation they said would actually use optical fiber to reflect bend light around the person wearing it. In essence, what was on the other side of the person would be displayed on the side ...

Sorry to hear that FD.

Man, I hate a thief...A nice "midnight ride" on the river would be good enough for 'em.

Well, while I like to stick with the Roush Team and Fords in general, I admit to pulling for the Earnharts in the past. Just something about the Late Great #3 and his "Don't get in my way" attitude. As to Gordon, well, he got fired at my Uncle-in-laws track about 15 years ago when he put a modified ...

Here is some info on this last season that explains where the ducks were, why they were there and who was hammerin' 'em.

While it says Illinois was up on it's harvest in State areas, it must have been Southern Zone. Here in the Central Zone ...

Thanks for the info booger...

I think I like the way it is here. If we could use 'em it would be too easy for the jagoffs that are afraid a little walk or work to get to a good hole. Sounds like you run ito that some now.

I have heard alot about ya being able to use ATV's on WMA's Are they State, Federal or both? Around here, I don't know of any area (State or Fed) that we can use an ATV on for duck season. Everything is by boat, on foot or a combination thereof.

I would like to think that message was just a bunch of hot air...A "troll" if you will of by someone looking to stir the pot.

Unfortunately, after seeing "hunters" show up to a local public walk-in area (that averages about 4 ducks/man in Illinois no less!) in wingtips, slacks and a sport jacket ...
