Was there in those days myself. Dont forget The Dreaded Meganezer - Mess up and shoot a hooded merg at first light, game over, 100 points. I do think that a shorter season flyway wide would help all of us and though the point system was complicated it did make those of us who tried to stay inside th...

Can anyone tell me what this plant is?

Galleon is very pricey. $475 per pint. That being said, it is an exceltent chemical for dealing with dense vegitation that you can not get a boat into to spray with a surface treatment. Galleon works in parts per Billion in the water column and is best used in late spring or early summer after signi...

Well I have been AWOL from this, and most other web sites for a while, but I am starting to dip my toes back in the virtual waters, so to speak. Going through a rather unpleasant divorce and had a big shake out in my life last fall. But on the bright side, I am back down south. Through all this it s...

Torch, Thats is EXACTLY the kind of stories we shared year after year around the hearth. Thanks, I might have to use that line sometime. We all have great stories like this. Maybe I will reopen my owm virtual firseside story tellers lounge? Got to wait and see if this job pans out first, might be a ...

Thank fellas. I am thinking of starting my old stories back up again and maybe even putting them into a book. You never get rich as an outdoor writer but this kind of stuff is just not represented in the outdoor media much any more. So, I may start a virtual fireside for everyone to send stories too...

Stringing Decoys I can’t pinpoint the exact year when it happened, but somewhere in over the last quarter decade it has become a sort of ritual. No matter where I live, or when that season may open, I always find myself stringing decoys the night before the opener. This year, like a few in the pas...

The Return Well, after four years “behind enemy lines” I am just a few short weeks from hanging my hat south of the Mason/Dixon line again. The South has always been home, but I have been gone too long. By the time October is drawing to a close I will be back safe in the land of cokes and yalls,...

The HIP survey is not used to stratify hunters into low medium and high harvest groups from which selections are made for other more detailed surveys to get a a base line estimate of harvest. In other words, a selection of hunters from each stata of harvest is selected, then selected for wing survey...

Now I dont want to start a ford/Chefvy/Dodge pising match but I am looking to move out of my jeep into a larger truck, used. So if any of you fella have sound input on trucks in the 03-05 year range below 18,000 please pitch in your info. What kind of milage is too high on the F-150s, etc. Thanks, T...

LEft5 my truck ties to a big old hackberry along an old river chute when my 4WD went out. Wasn;t gonna be fixed or unstuck any time soon, so we tied it off and went hunting anyway. From a spectators point of view, ah the memories...My family pier is the first one north of the old shell beach groc at...

ACE, Laugh about spoons if you like, but late season in rice, the laughing stops. I have been able to decoy mallards better over 1 dz spoons than ove a 200 decoy mallard spread, consistantly. And on big lakes, coots draw big ducks very well, but you have to have a ton of them, so we always used blac...
