I'm finally getting organized after a move into south-central-west Missouri. My plan now is to build a pond box that has three requirements: I must be able to lift it out of my big boat that will be used to transport it to the hunting area; it must be large/safe enough to house my 250-pound...

We're moving to the Eureka Springs, Ark., area in about a month. Because of all the fun and work associated in moving 2400 miles, I figure this year is toast. But for the future--is there any duck hunting nearby or do I have to travel? Do I sell the rest of my decoys or convince my buddy he...

We have a young (11 months) Golden who loves to retrieve but won't release the dummy or ball when she brings it back. Apparently, her previous owners played tug of war with her a lot, and she wants to do that. I've tried the stepping on the toes thing, and that worked once (she's smart!)...

Just checked in at Devlin's site as I'm still trying to make up my mind whether it's to be a stretched Cackler or a Snow Goose. He has posted two new duckboat designs: a 21 and a 24 garvey--both of which are extensions of the Snow Goose/ Cackler/Honker designs.

Not having a supply of palm fronds at hand (those are nice looking decoys, BTW) or much time at present, I am hunting over older Carry Lite blocks. However, the paint is failing on a number of them, and truth be told, wasn't that great to start with. I want to touch some up for the rest of...

Last winter I was all primed for building a Cackler thanks to input I got from here. However, last February, a broken leg and munched ankle put an end to that fantasy, at least for the short term. Now I'm trying to figure out whether it's better/easier to work over a 12-foot fiberglass skiff...

Knowing that there are guys on the site who recondition old tools, I was hoping someone could help me. I have an old Craftsman table saw--one with a cast iron table that is heavy as all get-out. Two days ago, the pulley on the drive shaft lost one of its rims, making the beast unusable. I...

I'm thinking hard about building Devlin's Cackler, and I'm wondering if there is anything I should know about the design before building. For those who have built the boat, is there anything you would do differently? Not having the plans in hand, I was wondering about extending the boat a foot...
