Here is what appears to be a BB sneakboat, located in Woodbine, New Jersey. Listed for 4 weeks. It's in pretty rough shape, but I have confidence in the craftsmen of this forum. It would not surpise me one bit to see it restored to its former glory by someone on Duckboats. asking price is...

On Saturday my wife and I were browsing an antique store in New Bern, NC when I saw this Mullins Duck Boat. I thought folks would like to see it here. It looks like the stern was chopped and squared off. The close inspection indicates the boat is in rough shape, but I bet it was a good...

Has anyone heard from Yukon Mike in the last few years? I thought he lived in the area of Yellowknife. I hope he and his family are well.

I was in Boone, NC this past week, and while there I went into an antique store. There was this canvasback decoy with a decoy weight setup I'd never seen before. Has anyone here ever seen something like this? I'm not sure how to describe it. I didn't buy the decoy. $345 was a bit much, I...

A friend invited me to hunt geese with him in Chestertown, Maryland a couple weeks ago. He's part of a goose club there. Having never been there before, I did not know of its role in goose hunting. Almost every big field we passed by had some kind of blind in the middle. We hunted from a pit...

Hello all, Does anyone have web links or literature about gunning boxes? I've built 4 or 5 boxes for shells and hunting accessories but am interested in reading anything about the general use or history of such boxes. My understanding so far is that they were more common in the...

somebody who makes decoys here please tell me that occasionally, you'll have one not turn out right. I hope I'm not the only one. my decoys are crude in comparison to many I see on this forum, but I hunt them anyway and they seem to work well. I enjoy this forum and learn so much from reading...

Maybe there are many on this great forum who already have seen these series. I only found them recently and have been mesmerized by the talents of this man. He is Bob Emser, a sculptor, boat builder, tool maker, and apparently one talented fellow. From what I see and read, he takes his...

It looks like at least 4 teenaged duck hunters were killed yesterday in a plane crash, along with 4 others, in North Carolina. Reports say the boys had finished a youth day duck hunt in Hyde County and were returning home to Carteret County. The airplane they were in reported some type of...

Hello Everyone: I had a chance to visit Corolla, NC last week, along the Outer Banks, and walk through the wildlife education center and the newly opened Currituck Maritime Museum. The museum focuses on the regional boat building and waterfowling history of Currituck County, NC, and has a...

Here in Eastern NC, there is a local wildlife photographer named Neil Jernigan. He does a great job with camera traps and has been working a beaver pond this spring. Lately Neil has been recording a mama wood duck and her babies. She started with 15, I think, but the brood has been culled...

From the Duck-In decoy company of St. Louis, MO..... I saw this today in an antique shop in Farmville, NC -- A canvas cloth feeder mallard decoy. Quick research says these decoys were made from 1938 to late 40s. They were reportedly filled with cork. This one was in very good shape, almost...

Just wanted to share this little book I picked up on Amazon last week. $12.33 with free shipping gets you 16 delightful duck hunting stories, reminiscent of the writings of Gene Hill, Ed Zern, and Gordon MacQuarrie. It's a duck hunting memoir by Californian hunter, Don E. Webster...

I enjoy making and hunting over my own decoys. Love this forum, and I learn so much from the carvers and builders here. I've been making some canvas covered birds recently, and decided to forego the wire frames underneath. The result is a less conventional looking decoy for certain, but I...

I hope everyone is doing well throughout the pandemic. I just found this video series of Malcolm M. Crosby making half-models. I can't see where he is located, but it's definitely in the northeast/new england region. Mr. Crosby's daughter is doing the filming. This man is...

Nick Sapone is a decoy maker from Wanchese, NC, on Roanoke Island at the NC Outer Banks. I just found this video while researching canvas covered decoys. Thought it worth sharing here. I have two of his full size swan decoys and a Canada goose. Youtube video...

According to this news article, a local farmer/hunting outfitter is lobbying to buy the Mattamuskeet lodge property from the State of NC. It seems he has already hosted some of the polical bigwigs down east and is lobbying hard to get the Lodge. Even though this property is in need of...
