You can see my duck call lanyard on my pintail picture.

Mick Lacy honker call....flute style
Jeff Foiles Timber Rattler duck call....acrylic
Kelly Gadus duck call..acrylic
Primos whistle for Teal,Wigeon,and Pintail

Theres also a cheap woodduck call on the lanyard as well. It works very well for the woddies.

I forgot to add a pic of my mallard hen decoys I painted.These are E Allen decoys as well.

I've got an old Sure Shot Pintail Whistle (Groves, Texas) that was passed down to me from my dad.  I'm not sure how old it is, though.  I don't even take it out of the house.  For whistling ducks I just use my mouth lol

Amazing Heretic.  We just buy G&H's or GHG mainly.  Although, you may find a few Flambeau in our spread.

Thanks fellas......As you can tell my drake decoy painting is much better than painting hen decoys. The feathers always give me fits!   I try my hardest.......By the time any duck is well within decoy range they should be dead and not worrying about my painting skills!

Word on that!  One of the hats I duck hunt in has a big white circle logo on it (seen in the Pintail pic).  People ask me about it flaring ducks.  I tell them if they're that close they're hanging on a lanyard in the blind.

Over the years the majority of my waterfowl hunts are on Lake Erie. Big water hunting is either hit or miss. The biggest problem is that it is public hunting so other hunters may or may not help. They will either scare birds to or away from you........ I have been hunting Pennsylvania in a small swamp and we really put the smack down on wood ducks. I am hoping the season of 2011 I will return to waterfowl hunting in PA.

A couple of hours from me is this wonderful place called Stuttgart, Arkansas.

Duck hunter's HEAVEN.

Sure, there's good hunting about an hour north of Sacremento, CA, but nowhere near as big as Stuttgart.

This time of year--GOOD LUCK on finding a motel room and most motels have "mud rooms" at the end of each wing that has water hoses and extra towels.  If you aren't in the lobby before 6:30 good luck on there being any "free" breakfast left.

Lots of politicians and company bigwigs reserve entire motel wings for a week.

The duck hunter's mega-store on the north side of town get's stripped bare...the duck call company next door has lines that go on forever.

It's one massive rice field 20 miles in diameter....for night life there's 2 bars for the whole town.  The 2 liquor stores have literally nothing on the shelves after the first couple of nights.

The rest of the year the place is sad, boring, and most kids 19 and older leave and never come back.

I've been wanting to go to Mack's for a while now.  I agree that Arkansas has some great duck hunting, but TN does, too.  I've got a buddy that only hunts in Arkansas and we bring in more than he does.  Maybe it's where he hunts or something like that.

I have been duck hunting for 15 years now. I live in Ohio so the flyway we are in doesn't always produce the birds you want.

A guy I play aces high with also hunts ducks and he lves in Illinois. This guy also hunts with Tim and Hunter Grounds and has invited me out there for one of those trips that you never forget.

I use a Benelli Supernova when hunting waterfowl. Outlaw decoys, and Tim Grounds duck & goose calls.

I prefer to jump shoot ducks on the rivers around here. When all the big water freezes the birds find a river. Wood ducks are prolly the best ducks I like to hunt.
