Waterfowl

I reached out to some high-tech companies to gain access to a few of their products that I considered among the best if not the best in the current marketplace.  I am not talking about hyped-up splash ads for headlamps but rather ones with a great deal of engineering, design, and durability meant to last for seasons.

The variety of ways to get your waterfowl shells and accessories into the field can be characterized in two ways: big and boxy.

Today the growth of new shallow-water mud or swamp motors is gaining the attention of wetland hunters

Technology advances our waterfowl hunting. Lucky Duck knows this and their new HD 2.0 Remote increases the field of options now available to us duck hunters.

This is not something small or a ducktail painted to look like a goose, rather this is a full-size goose tail with a powerful pump capable of moving a lot of water.

Most will agree in the early season and with those hunting ducks further north, spinners are indeed a must.

I recently discussed waders and the many options available for purchasing the right wader.  Once you have a new pair reality sets in that all waders will leak sooner or later.  Aside from warranty to make the repairs, often you are forced to make the repairs yourself after the warranty has expired or to prepare immediately for another hunt.  This is how to make the best effort at repairing those waders. 

If you are like me you tend to buy calls, use them, like them, hate them and move on to the next one.  Calls take a ton of abuse and often we pay little or no attention to taking care of them both for maintenance and for adjustments.  I sat down with a good friend and someone that calls as well as anyone I know, to discuss the call components and how anyone can disassemble, adjust, and rebuild just about any call with a few spare parts.

One does not have to live through a day of waterfowl hunting on snack cakes, candy bars, apples, and jerky. I know cooking in the blind can be a full course meal as seen in some magazines, but here, we are talking about something good to eat, easy to pack in, easy to clean up and typically gets folks to ask for more.
