Ok, reducing them yet again. $1800 plus shipping and packing, or $1500 if you want to pick them up

Price reduced again! Eleven (11) wood and cork black duck decoys are still for sale[laugh] These were carved by Norman Williams of Richmond, VA, no marks on them, still never used. $2000.00 if you want them shipped. Plus cost of professional packing and shipping expense. $1800.00 if you pick...

They are beautiful, and often very decoy friendly. Unfortunately, I've had better luck making surf scoters and old squaws palatable. I've tried to prepare them on four different occasions. Each time still in disbelief that any type of waterfowl could taste and smell that unappetizing. On my...

Yessir! The penalties collected are used to offset the cost of our annual dinner. Large contributors are "recognized" for buying dinner.

Our club has always charged a penalty for shooting hen mallards. It is currently $10.00 per bird.

Appalling but not surprising. IMHO the class has been leeching out of waterfowling since about 2009!

Value every moment. It does pass too quickly. Thanks for sharing the photos

Retrievers: Tar, Digger, Mudd, Brant, Gunner, Payton, Camo. Mastiffs: Thor, Nyx, Vica. Always wanted to name a dog Spike or Angus, but someone always talks me out of it. Axe would be a solid name too.

As you said, the dog is upwind, when he shakes he will soak you. When he launches, he will soak you. Remember, all those birds are coming mostly from down wind. I guess you could teach a dog to launch perpendicular to the rig, then turn, but most likely he will try to take a line from the...

That rig would need a bilge pump and a taller front spray screen! I've hunted my momarsh fatboy with the dog behind me. It works fine, so long as there is some bank available for the dog to haul out and shake before getting back in the boat. As mentioned previously, I guess it would be...

The 2066 will go places conventional 16' or 18' jon boats won't. However, I agree that the size isn't useful for everyone. Turning it around in tight places can be a problem. I'd still recommend getting the biggest boat that you think will fit where you want to go. The stability and comfort...

I have a Phowler 2066 with a Prodrive E5 custom surface drive outboard. It has been a game changer for me. After a lifetime of dragging jon boats in and out of my favorite hunting spots, this monster just motors right up to the door of my blinds. The only limiting factor is whether or not...

I use this mold. Was so pleased with these weights that I melted down everything else down and converted: http://store.do-itmolds.com/Decoy-AnchorbrSz-MushroombrSz-8_p_702.html It doesn't meet your weight requirement, but they are pretty good little anchors and they clear grass and mud easily.

It is terribly bad luck. However, in some circumstances when the name is so bad, I believe Poseidon is happy to take the crappy name off the roster and replace it with a new one. I've been willing to suffer the consequences twice. I would never embark on a renaming unless absolutely...
