Today's Ducks at Yesteryear Prices
By trout whisperer :: 7 Views :: Article Rating
When I load the over under I think to myself that the shell prices have gone sky high. Every time I pull the trigger today it’s gonna be a bill, for a bill. A dollar a duck if I connect. It’s still worth it, but shells are almost hunting pockets full of steel currency. If I add in the federal stamp and state license fees I yearn for days of old...

By trout whisperer :: 1373 Views :: 2 Comments :: Article Rating :: Hunting - Waterfowl, Tales from the Woods

I drop the truck into four wheel drive and start to tip toe off the county road and follow an ancient logging trail. Last fall, when I was here, I don’t recall the logging trail so rough. I meander about and come to the sharp corner and here is a brand new county forest gate with a lock that’s locked tight. Oh for the love of progress. Man whose going to steal trees back here. Stupid gate...

By Doug_Leier :: 1087 Views :: Article Rating

I don’t think of myself as a veteran hunter. But when I put pen to paper and add up the years, I realize it's been nearly 25 of them since I took hunter education in LaMoure in 1984. During that time, I've already experienced some significant changes in our hunting landscape...

Waterfowl - hunters choice for waterfowl regulations
By Doug_Leier :: 2621 Views :: Article Rating
About 15 years ago I attended my first Game and Fish Department advisory board meeting. I was a fisheries and wildlife management student at North Dakota State University, and had a goal of one day working in the natural resource field.

By Doug_Leier :: 1925 Views :: Article Rating
Even if you’re not a duck hunter, I think you’ll appreciate what thousands of duck hunters across the prairie are doing this fall. It’s about as simple a task as you can make it, and much of the time they don’t get enough credit for how they’ve contributed to the good of the cause...

My Throat is Layered up with Ducks
By trout whisperer :: 1622 Views :: Article Rating
I can’t get the wind to my back, so a long line of decoys angles towards shore like a funnel.  What I call the “baby duck” is flying somewhere around mock two coming into line and dropping. The number four previously installed in the upper tube woompfs and I...
