I just whacked the cat tails down at my duck blind. Luckily it was not too overgrown. I am also thinking about getting some more decoys

15 dozen. You must have plenty of hunting buddies to help you put that many out, and then pack them back up. I guess thats what you train the dog to do

Can your dog wind up the lines also

Usually I am ahead of the game, but this is the first year that I have been absolutely buried the past few months and haven't even had time to think about it too much at this time. Maybe next month.

Looking for a place to live, getting my stuff all packed and ready to move, getting up there, unpacking, then its GO time!

This is the time of the year when I start getting excited again!
I start watching tons of duck hunting videos, and I've started bringing my duck calls to work!

Sorry ladies, a man's gotta practice ;o)

Talk about the dog pulling his weight, I hook my dog to the decoy cart and he pulls and I just steer.

Kola16 · « **Reply #14 on:** August 27, 2012, 08:14:59 PM »

I went for a run to get in shape, and I saw some woodies in a pond

picked up 3 dz goose shells and cleaned them up, re-vamped my 14' jon boat and finishing up the flooring this week, pulled out the sneak boat and cleaned it up...touched up the paint job on it....calls already in the truck and did a lil scouting last weekend. now to figure out what to do for early goose since it's right in the middle of early archery

not to mention we haven't ever done early goose...got the itch tho.

wraithen · « **Reply #17 on:** August 28, 2012, 07:46:15 AM »

I'm repainting my kayak and patching up my buddies homemade boat. Adding grass and camo to both. Double checking to make sure the dekes are good and clean, and practicing my calling whenever I'm driving and the wife isn't in the x.

duck1187 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 16, 2012, 07:01:36 PM »

Finally finished the last blind we r all ready for season
Rebuilt this blind before camo and after

wadu1 · « **Reply #19 on:** September 16, 2012, 07:25:37 PM »

Well the old decoys are all re-rigged and the new ones are rigged. My shell bag has been packed and re-packed. The guns are cleaned and oiled and ready to go. Will be checking the blinds this weekend to check on last minute brushing and stuff. Put in 3,500 sporting clays targets this year with one month to go; I might be ready

Last Saturday I picked up a little sneak boat from another member. then today I watch a duck hunting show and I think the fever has hit me.

Kola16 · « **Reply #21 on:** September 19, 2012, 06:59:54 PM »

I made a snow sled into a decoy trailer thing

so I can pull all of my extra decoys in my kayak. I spray-painted it put swimming noodles on the side of it for stability.

Ok here it is. It is like a yacht for decoys

wraithen · « **Reply #25 on:** September 20, 2012, 11:57:17 AM »

Brilliant idea. How well does it slide across land? I know that isn't the intended purpose but I may do something similar and then glass it in and resin the crap out of it.

Kola16 · « **Reply #26 on:** September 20, 2012, 12:06:18 PM »

It did great sliding across land. I even convinced my dog to hop in, and it towed her around

I think that I am going to build the sides up on it so it can hold more decoys. Always need more decoys

duck1187 · « **Reply #27 on:** September 20, 2012, 07:41:11 PM »

I like it .how well does it float with weight in it

Kola16 · « **Reply #28 on:** September 20, 2012, 07:48:58 PM »

I can fit 4 flaoter Canada decoys, and 4 mallards in it, and it floats them fine (and that was before I put the noodles on the side). BUT, when I was about 4 years old (way before I put the noodles on the side

),
I put it in a pool, jumped in it, and it sank
