    River Otter?

    I had scouted a place for early season geese and found an absolute crap load. The next weekend, a buddy and I set up on the spot. Didn't hear or see a goose. Found out later that the TWRA had trapped them and traded KY for some river otters. That was maybe 25 years ago,

    28ga-or 20ga

    Be mindful of the weight of the gun, 28 or 20. I shot a friend's ultra light weight 28 o/u with a standard skeet load and it HURT.

    Thorny

    Several years ago, my son and I were hunting pool 5 when we heard a lot of arguing in the parking area for 5 & 6. Shortly, we could hear a car leaving, spinning gravel. At the end of Yarboro Rd., it turned left onto 104 and as it drove along the south side of pool 5, the guy stuck an AR out the...

    Reelfoot follow up

    My 1st trip to Reelfoot in 1974, most all the restaurants had fresh fried crappie. Don't remember when the commercial fishing for crappie stopped. It was also during that time that blinds and roadhouses got dynamited on a regular basis. It was a different time indeed. It appears that commercial...

    Bucket list bird

    I had one mounted in a standing position that is one of my better looking mounts....punk rock duck. I gave one to my granddaughter for a college biology project. She skinned it and stuck the carcass in a tub of flesh eating beetles. Afterward, she disassembled the skeleton and then reassembled...

    Shoulder Holster

    Years ago, I bought a Safariland shoulder rig for my S&W Mod 27 w/ a 6" barrel. Lined leather and comfortable but I don't carry that gun much anymore.

    Pretty cool kill this morning

    Pure blooded blacks do not have white on the wing but mallard/black duck hybrid can and do have varying amounts of white.

    Collared doves?

    There is a pair that stay around the parking area of one of my doctor's office in Springfield. They sit on either one of 2 power poles.

    Who has a Jack Miner Band?

    I don't remember when they made the change to the current system but the B90 referred to the 2nd banding group in 1990.

    Who has a Jack Miner Band?

    I also killed a hen mallard with a Jack Miner band #B90. Mine came on Dec. 24, 1992 on Old Hickory WMA. If I remember correctly, they only banded 280 ducks in 1990. My son killed a mallard drake with a Jack Miner band in Jan. '09 that was banded in Nov. '04 also on Old Hickory WMA. Back when you...

    2023 Duck crops aerial video

    We've got water in front of our blind out in the food. Not from rain but from beavers. Our corn is looking good except for that.
