I was not offended.. just curious. I actually concur with your assessment of the picture and situation. Rather than trying to criticize your judgement, I was merely interested in learning more about it in order to better understand my own. We are of the same breed. Apologies if it came...

Chuck et al. I'm anti prostaffer to the max... also anti (buying/selling) bands on ebay. Stupid if you ask me... on both sides of the coin. But.... I'm curious as to what is the driving force behind a comment like this. It's not the first time I have heard it or seen it on forums...

My father and I have taken ringed mallards on the same day... Three separate times. All of these hunts occurred at the same hunting location. Needless to say we love that spot. We have both taken neck-marked geese on the same hunt on three separate occasions as well. Each of those days was a...

It happens. Found birds frozen this way in shallow water. Pulled them up and weeds came along too... Stuck in their rigor mortised bill. Also found a few fresh ones this way too. One's I killed. Seen em a foot or two under. Grab a butt and up they come. Mouth full!!

A few years back we were somehow given a 7 bird a day limit with no bluebill restrictions. It took a little bit of work to find a place to set up that would produce the kind of hunt I was looking for... I finally settled on a two-set hunt. We would start at the opening of a 200 yard wide...

We hunt geese in February and March... Somewhere around March 1 we get a serious influx of geese in our area ( I know they come from the south). The birds will congregate in one or two fields by the tens of thousands... Then after a day or two they disappear. My thinking is that this is a...

I am in Oregon. The dove picture is actually my favorite. He looks like he might be from a fill different time. Partway through the hunt he said "I'm so hot" and took off his shirt. Wouldn't let me put it back on... Lol. Grandpa made him his wooden gun. It goes everywhere with us. The...

I hunted near a guy the other day that let birds work... A few swung by his dekes at 30-35 and he passed. It was clear the birds weren't committed to his spread. Of course I did the same. After he finished his limit I walked a couple hundred yards down the edge of the marsh and shook his hand...

Industry... Prostaff... Sponsorship... Gear... Guns... Toys... We are seeing it in all walks of life with the new generation. My guess is that it eventually will fade, as we all know attention spans aren't too long these days. Hopefully we can somehow impress upon them that is is more...

Great looking dog Seth!!

This year we have been blessed with unusually warm Fall temps... Blessed you say? Well...normally I would agree, but this year I was feeling a little different. Oliver is three years old, and hardly weighs 30 pounds soaking wet. Eats like a champ but pretty much all skin and bones. Isn't...

Wow... Great pics!!

Yes PNW.. We sift through piles of widgeon here. Love how they make u feel like a stud duck hunter even on the tough days!! Lol

Never tried with divers/mergs... But I do have a go to recipe for them. Very simple... Cut in strips like above. Soak in fresh water for two nights.. Change water after night 1. Dry strips thoroughly and coat in a wet beer batter (I use pride of the west) Deep fry in peanut oil...

Was reading the thread about cooking thermometers and couldn't agree more. It also got me thinking I need to share a little more. Here is a recipe that I live by. I have never served this meal where any meat was left. I have had vegetarians ask for more... No one has ever passed on...

Here are a couple others for comparison.... [/URL] [/URL]

Nice bird Cody... I'm afraid it's not a full blown storm widgeon though. There is so much variety in widgeon... And u have a mature bird with very light head coloring... It's beautiful. A true Storm widgeon will have a more yellow/gold coloring and no speckles down the neck. This is a...

I dread the day... But with every passing season I feel it getting closer and closer. Your post made my insides swell... My heart fill with emotion. What a special trip u are about to embark upon.. Enjoy it!

Not wild geese... Legal year round. We kill a couple every year and don't count them toward our limit.

Tons of work with little reward... Super hard to get close enough to kill birds... You always end up soaked to the bone after a float... Controlled forward movement is frustrating beyond all imagination... Floats are expensive and high maintenance... Don't even bother.... you will...
