When you decide what patterns to paint, here are some other tips (to add to the good advice you've already received): 1. Use a power washer to blast mud and loose paint off decoys. If you're just doing a touch-up, though, you might just want to use soap/water and a soft brush, then rinse very...

The only thing better than rice breast is duck lice...NOT! Both creep me out. :o

Those Redbones are $$$$$$ :o I looked around a few years ago, did a bunch of reading, and decided on the White Out. Easy to run. Here are some interesting videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9fpgCnlU9Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El7ZyvwemjI

Awesome hunts!

Thanks, Steve. I heard them coming behind me, from East to West (roughly) and gave a couple pathetic calls. The flock of 15-20 came around and headed north along our dike, right into gun range (barely)! I emptied my gun and shouted "HONKERS!!!! GET 'EEEEEEMMMMM!!!!!!" They continued on toward my...

That is so awesome!!!

Went to wister Saturday with a couple buddies. I got 3 teal, a pintail, and a Canada goose. At the time I left, my buddies each had 4, mostly teal, but also a wigeon and a spoonie. Last weekend, my buddy and I scored a limit apiece, mostly teal and spoons, a couple pintail, and a ruddy...

To me, duck tastes like liver. I suspect that's what many refer to as "gamey". Whatever the case, I hate the taste of liver. So when I have meat that tastes like liver, I cook it in something spicy, for a long time. Examples of this are gumbo, chili, taco meat, etc. This past weekend, a buddy...

Wow, that's...unspeakable. Question for you all: how many of you who grew up with guns in your home ever felt unsafe with the gun in the house? Have any of you ever met somebody who stated that they felt unsafe with a gun in the house, having grown up with them? I'm not talking about someone who...

We have a few Tikka T3 Lite Stainless in the family. They are sssuuuuuuhhhhhh-WEET! I've been dreaming about a .260 for a while now, because I reload, so getting ammo wouldn't be as problematic. Recoil would be lighter than it would with .308. For deer and pigs, .260, .270, .308 are all good...

I filled out the survey, but in the section where I was allowed to comment on my dissatisfaction with the management of the deer population, I mentioned the citation vs. education mindset of the wardens, as well as the corrupt (as in quail-poaching) wardens as some of my reasons for not being...

Any of you get "randomly chosen" to participate in the DFG poll on deer management? Questions like "how satisfied are you with deer hunting in CA?", "would you support some zones being merged to create larger zones?", etc. I found some of the questions to be vague or stupid: "what do you...

Yes, thanks for that video!

Thanks, that was exactly the kind if dope I was looking for! We will be dry camping out in the countryside somewhere, and hunting over labs. The videos I've seen show them holding very well for pointers, but alas, I don't have one yet. Someday, though. Thanks again.

Hey guys, A buddy and I are heading to Southeastern AZ after Christmas to hunt Mearns' Quail. I've never been before, so I'm looking for any information you guys might have on the subject. The info I've gathered so far indicates that they thrive after healthy summer monsoons, and that they like...

Thanks, Steve! I've always appreciated the pics of your dogs. Great thread, GAB!

Boomer is my first dog, and I've learned more from training him than there is room or time to post! My favorite picture: Pigeons in the desert: First snow goose hunt ever, at Wister: "The Jac": First hunt test: Alberta, 2012: Yes, I shoot coots!!! Winning! Shoot to Retrieve...

Is that Slab City? ;)

Tom is great. Let him know you don't have a dog, and he'll point you in the right direction.
