Gavin Posted February 5, 2019 Author Posted February 5, 2019 I like to eat teal, mallards, and wood duck on the grill. The rest are gumbo or jerky ducks. Coot isn’t bad. Have eaten crow, but never crow protein. Johnsfolly 1
Gavin Posted March 21, 2019 Author Posted March 21, 2019 Talked with a buddy this evening regarding ducks. Says he slices diver duck into thin strips and uses as a repaclement for clam in clam chowder. His guests said great. Dude can cook though. Did buy 2 dozen mallard decoys. Rigged a dozen with 4oz Texas rigs, thinking heavier weights for next batch. What do you all use? Thinking about adding a few more decoys for river hunts. Woodies maybe?
snagged in outlet 3 Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 One of the happiest days on my mom's life was when I sold all my decoys. I had em piled up in the wash room in the basement. If I heard cussing down there I bugged out. Gavin and BilletHead 2
wily Posted March 22, 2019 Posted March 22, 2019 Watch craigslist...can get some good deals in decoys...I bought 36 g&h for a dollar a piece last summer...10 or so had swivel heads...had to rig em though... current deal I’m working on is for some big foots...the guy has 33 of em total...but we’re a little off on the money...and I really don’t want them all...they take up too much room don’t skimp on the decoys...you look at the decoys a bunch while you’re hunting...so buy some you like... iF you rig tx style...tie the cords in an overhand knot...before putting into a bag...or get the strap weights and wrap the cord around keel....either way seems to work fine
Gavin Posted July 5, 2019 Author Posted July 5, 2019 Think the duck spread is done. Might add some geese. Will travel. BilletHead, snagged in outlet 3, Daryk Campbell Sr and 1 other 4
snagged in outlet 3 Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 I just sold some more pipe to another private club, you’re making me want to call in the favor. Gavin and slothman 1 1
wily Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 Decoys look good. I’ve been adding to my spread this summer too. We don’t have a place to hunt worth driving to Joplin from St. Louis...but 4rivers isn’t too far. If you wanted to meet up there sometime...we could probably have some fun. I’ve got a 1436 Alweld with a mud buddy...it’ll get us out into the marsh/corn. Gavin 1
