If so, has anyone done this in the past and had noticeable success?

re: Anybody spray painted a rifle?

I took my old rusted up 870, converted it to home defense and sanded it down and used a duracoat shake and spray kit to paint mine. It seems to be holding up pretty good, just a little wear on the action.
Hey wick we usually see a few woodcock while duck hunting in some swamp that a friend of mine owns. It's a big piece of property with lots of grass patches and bean fields that border the woods. We would like to see your pointers in action. The land is 30 min west of Lafayette. Maybe we can set a hunt up if your interested. Maybe make an early duck hunt and then run your dogs.

Anyone have a JJ Lares duck call?

Has anyone used or personally heard one? I use a daisy cutter and short barrel. But I've heard good things about JJ Lares and I was thinking bout ordering one.

There's a kennel just north of Iowa, la about ten miles called Briarmarsh kennels owned by Richard Meche. He trained my lab this year and I'm very happy with him. He has some nice dogs and usually has a couple finished dogs and pups for sale. They are definently worth checking out.
Places like hobby lobby have rolls of burlap you can buy in the fabric dept.

If I'm not mistaken at one time the state record bass was caught in university lake.
Dr. Pepper, Marlboro light. After the hunt a cold bud light and a link of boudin.
Use it like your duck calls use it to get there attention and when they don't come any closer after they start to circle jerk on the string to reel them back in.
Flooded timber we use jerk strings all the time. In the rice fields we mostly use flappers but on calm days with no wind action a jerk string works wonders for those ducks that just won't quite commit.
Do u have a mold for making egg sinkers for Texas rigs and if so where do u buy your lead from. I'm thinking about making my own also.
I get sea sick easily and bonine is the only stuff that works for me.
Guess I'm going to have to invest in good scope. Any suggestions. I really don't want to spend more than a couple hundred bucks.
I recently started hunting coyotes and on my first 3 hunts I have called up 4 coyotes. But they stay about 250 to 300 yards out and won't come any closer. I'm well hidden and they all have came out upwind from me. I have a motion decoy and a caller. All I have is a red dot scope on my ar-15 and i would feel better taking a shot within 100 yards any tips on getting them to come closer.

Bought a new maxus and a pattern master so since I was spending money I tried some hevi metal 3 1/2 #2. Crunched the ducks. Very impressed I wish I could afford to shoot them everyday.

I know with a pattern master they don't recommend anything faster than 1500 fps.
Couple weeks ago I took a whole speck, stuffed the breast with bacon and injected the whole bird with Cajun injector garlic creole marinade and stuck a beer in the cavity like a drunk chicken. Then fried it in one of those big easy oil less turkey fryers. Cooked till breast meat was 165 degrees. It lasted bout five minutes on the dinner table. Tasted great. It took bout 2 hours to cook.
Grey ducks still responding good to our calls. Mallards not so much. When we see mallards we drop our calls most of them been giving us a few shots right outside the dekes. Main thing for us is a downsized decoy spread and lots of fresh brush.

re: rest your duck blind?

Posted by NotFromTown on 12/29/12 at 4:32 pm to
We have a small timber hole that we only hunt 2-3 times a week and never hunt the afternoon, but in the rice field blinds there is usually someone in it everyday. It's been day to day one day we will kill 3 limits of big ducks and the next we might only kill 3 ducks. Most ducks are coming in the blind after lunch and we only hunt till bout ten or eleven at the latest so they are in there all afternoon and usually gone by the morning anyways.
Anyone remember this one?
