Tundra duck bust'n

[Jeff S]

Mother Ducker. I love looking at hunting pictures. I think people should be proud of their hunting success, and by posting pictures, you allow guys like me to live vicariously through you. However, your last picture, with roughly 30 ducks lined up on your boat, comes really close to "gloating". I'm jealous. Jeff

This is starting to feel like a family! The chore of hunting waterfowl tests a person & equipment making a special bond between them; you'd have to do it to know. Stan I had a Waldon Scout similar to that, it tracked very straight. Jim running a lot in Jersey it always amazed me the crazy horsepower some guys put those boats, and Jeff come on there is nowhere near 30 ducks there, only 24,15 geese,and a snipe.That was this fall in Manitoba, and the first time we bothered filling a 3 man limit ducks and geese it was a TON of work and had about 4 hours into getting out of that hole!

Jim I know there's as spray curtain that goes on the bow but what is the half round wood block w/hole a front of cockpit used for?

[Jim Cloninger]

Ducker, I didn't have the spray curtains on either boat on for those pictures. What round hole on which boat?

[Mother ducker]

Jim, the 35 sneak box in the 2nd pic the green anchor/bow line runs right behind a half round block of wood?? Attached to the deck. I also like the way you rigged your anchor line " loose" through an eye with a tag, just pull and go. I'll lay out hunt with my boats and anchoring is challenging,I like to be a little sideways to the wind it gives you more gun swing

[Jim Cloninger]

Ducker, I think you are referring to where the bow for the spray shield is attached. Jim
