GREAT QUESTION!!!!! I guess I will start by saying that I was left 100 acres within rifle shot of the Big Black River as a small Child!! 9 years ago I moved on the place with my wife. She had my son 5 years ago. We now have food plots and tree stands everywhere! I live right in the middle of the place and the patrolling is what gets tiresome. If it weren't for him I would probably get lax! But, he won't let me as everytime he hears something he's beside the bed saying "let's go daddy, lets go daddy!!!" So he will drag my lazy butt out of bed and here we go! 99% of the time it's nothing, but the 1% it gets real interesting REAL FAST!!!!!! So I guess you could say a 5 year old is the best investment for me!!!!

My GPS. With apologies to the purists among us, the ability to find a particular tree in the dark with no flashlight is awesome.

A GPS i a good tool and if everyone used them you would not have idiots riding around right at shooting time messing everything up.

1.Good retrievers (my second lab is heading for her 9th season)
2. Neoprene waders. (thank God I was young in the days when I'd stand belly button deep in freezing water with nothing but some Thompson Water sealed canvas between me and hypothermia.)
3.Go-Devil Engine I bought mine in the mid 90's (back when we had ducks down here) and it makes a big difference in hunting tidal marshes.

Best investment?.........I'd have to say......
  • all the hours I've spent watching ducks over the last 35 years :?
  • learning how to use a duck and goose call......and when NOT to use them :shock:
  • choosing a good hunting partner :wink:


The future? Hell, if I haven't figured-out what works in 35 years, I need to find another passtime. I guess I've got everything I need. But this game isn't the same without one thing.........ducks! So, I guess I'll concentrate my efforts and resources into conservation and staying with the birds.........Canada, Dakotas, Mizzou........wherever, until they return to Mississippi.

I've learned a lot about honker hunting in the past 3 years as a result of no ducks, so......that's just snother 'investment' into my arsenal. Money can't buy experience (hehehehe).......Thank God! I love it! :lol:

A larger diamond ring for my wife. Now I dont get the "you spend too much money hunting" lecture....
Sometimes you just have to close your eyes, count to ten, take a deep breath and remind yourself that you wouldn't look good in prison stripes... and just smile at that dumbass and walk away.

You mean I'm not the only one who gets the "You spend to much money hunting" lecture from the wife?


MemphisStockBroker your cracking me up. So far I would be willing to bet that is truly the best investment to improve the hunting for us married folk.

Its a wonder the gun mfgs haven't incorporated that into the marketing schemes. I can see it now "A free set of diamond earings with the purchase of a new Beretta"

Guess I am getting off subject..............

Since mine will have to settle for the diamond she has for now.

1) A boat and motor has been the best to open up new hunting territory. (When the ducks aren't on my land)

2) the retriever has been the most enjoyable to have and get ducks.

Hmmm this is based on the observation of MSB's son early one morning..

The ability to get MY boat into 12" of water so he can skip across the 38 degree water to the buckbrush....to get rid of a sausage and biscut sandwhich he should of not ate that early.


Honest Freinds and a wife that knows how much I love the outdoors and love her.

P.S
the last part is in case she reads this thread :shock:
