Nice Walleye boat!!!!! Dont get any bass slime on it.

Al, Im from St.louis and have been on 2 pieces of L A D land. The first piece is Clifty Creek in which my aunt and uncle owned property on the back side with direct access to the natural bridge. After my Mom had passed away I made it a point to visit them as much as i could. Not knowing much about Clifty I hiked and hunted their property for a number of years. But viewing the land at Clifty was a pleasure. Every time it snowed I would head down there. Awesome is the word I would use to describe the land features in that area... Rugged is another but I was younger and it never bothered me. Ive had some of the best turkey hunting on my aunts property due to the rugged nature of the L A D property. Not many people would dare climb those hills or cross that creek. My aunt and uncle have since passed and i do miss that area. The other area is Bell Mountain, I was not aware the L A D foundation was involved there. But ,one of the neatest wilderness areas i have climbed on.......Why you ask????? TURKEYS... My cousin and I went there for years. His wife was the granddaughter of the Belles which is how it was spelled. We thought it was cool to hunt turkeys where Ray Eye grew up hunting them. Spent many mornings in the spring on top of that mountain listening to turkeys GOBBLE!!!!!! Thanks to the L A D foundation for letting me play in their YARD!!!!!!

Nice Duck.... Those bass have a funky smell to them don't they!!!!

Sorry wrong magazine... Wildfowl.

They are terrible for wetlands. Read article in this months DUCKS UNLIMITED.

Have known him since I was a kid. No nicer person has walked this earth!!!! Bill, Sorry for your loss of a TRUE FRIEND..

I know what you mean by "plum wore out".

Myself and another buddy had 800 decoys out,which is a lot for two guys, and saw massive flocks but none would commit. Some would pull out but just join the next bunch right behind them. We hunted 3 1/2 days with 2 birds. Really rough...... his first snow hunt. Everything was perfect,no mud,mild temps,south wind15 mph. They would fly out of swan lake in 1 massive flock to feed then return the same way. On the trip home I saw 0 snows driving I-70. Just crazy..... The good side we ate steaks,ribs,spiral smoked ham,and plenty of great dessert!!!!!!!!!!!!! So it wasn't all that bad.

Any ideas on whats going on with the birds? Hunted near swan and seen lots of birds but not much love. Having a hard time locating any along I-70. Any thoughts?

Great job BH. Nothing like Teal.Yummy.

Hey JP thanks for the video. Didnt get out sat. morning cause I didnt want to fight the crowd at the public area. We did go out in the afternoon and had 1 bunch do us.Pretty slow... Ill wait and go during the week. The best is yet to come. Thanks again.

You guys are awful quiet!!!!! I know you are in the garage right now getting your stuff ready like myself. I hope there are videos from this years hunts. Some of you guys posted some last year that were great!!!! Keep em coming. GOOD LUCK.

I could be your co guy.... of course i would need deer season off, and o i forgot duck season also. Maybe crappie season and i think snow goose season. Let me know!!!!!!!!

Are u kidding me!!!!!!! There has to be 200 million of the motors out there. I just found a decent looking 20 hp manual and the guy wants to barter for it.... Have my heart set a 25 ele start for duck huntn. Ill have to think on this one.. Thanks a bunch for the info,too bad i live in stlou sounds like you are the go to for outboard repair. thanks again.

Its for a duck boat.

Wrench, Im looking for a 25 short shaft ele start. If these parts are going to be hard to get should i stick with a 20 manual start?

Sorry Phil for bringing this post back to life. Ready for this election to be over with. Just hope whoever wins can save this country for our kids. AND I MEAN THAT.

Sorry i missed this post 5 months ago.....

I am working to pay off my own kids tuition. Why should i expect everyone else to pay for it. Is that the new AMERICAN DREAM. If he does the hard work i will gladly pay. When he is done I will smile and he will walk with his head high!!!!! He will be productive and work hard by his own doing...And not sitting on his butt collecting a check. THIS IS THE AMERICAN DREAM!!!

JD got a question.... Every morning I find dead honey bees in my driveway in the same place. Any ideas?

Looks like they are getting their bellies back.

1/8 oz. casting and working as close to the bottom as i can get.

When i use anything over 1 oz i seem to get snagged up quite a bit and speeding up doesnt fix the problem. I just go lighter on the bb. I use to do well with bb but this year im really stinking the place up!!!!! Thank goodness for roadrunners.

Dan, you are killing me with the front to back shots!!!! Fish and boats. good stuff.
