    E-call vs. Hand call success?

    I'm considering soaking some money into an e-caller. However, I'm wondering if the success rate of calling coyotes in, would go up or not. I use a motion decoy, set it about 20 yards away from my calling position, but I'm wondering if the coyotes are not connecting the motion with the sound and...

    DIY Head-Bobber Duck Decoy

    Yesterday I stumbled on this video at youtube, showing a guy's homemade head-bobbing duck decoy... Of course it looked like it would be incredibly effective, and of course :) I figured I should make my own. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2mXNqZqew8 After watching the video I immediately...

    Nip/Tuck for Tommy

    Remember that El Cheapo full strut cabelas decoy that everyone was talking about last week? For 15 bucks, it was a no-brainer.... and surprisingly, the quality of it is actually better than average, IMO. I had a jake fan from last season that I saved for a full strut decoy, and I also saved a...

    Last minute decoy questions

    I have a bunch of decoys. Hey, they were damn cheap. 3 sets of 2 hens and 1 jake and one tom. I've heard that 2 hens and a jake work well. When is the tom used? Is it a bad thing that they move in the wind? Just some basic questions for a noober. Oh, that's my BIG MIKE Baronette blind that I...

At closing time, he saw a deer hunter tumble out of the bar, trip on the curb, then try his keys in five different cars before he found his. He sat in the...

    "The Perfect Shot" by Matthew Hougan For those of us that have spent considerable time in a blind in pursuit of ducks and geese most of us can count on one hand the number of times when everything goes according to plan. I can remember those hunting days easily since they happen so few and...

    Cool decoy spread

    This is a buddy's pic of a deer in his decoy spread! They swim from the island and this doe was checking out the spread.

    Decoy Touch Ups

    These are from the weekend before last. Longdraw, me, and another partner in crime all got together for a long day of decoy painting and flocking. Not sure how many we painted but it was a lot!! And the flocking made a big difference on the unfinished heads that got done up. Did goose tails too...
