Cleric Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Very tight setup! Are you using the greenheads as confidence birds or just that small of a spread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tucker301 Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Cleric, Didn't see your post until now. Yes, we always put a few ducks about 20 yards downwind and to one side of the geese. Late season, we also drop a lone goose about halfway between the others and the ducks. We position two goose magnets like they're dropping into the pocket from right over the ducks. Last day we hunted, the wind shifted three times. I moved at least half the decoys each time. We whacked 9 over that spread and should've had more, so I think I did the right thing.

tucker301 Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 The next project is to make some decoy bags that fit under the rails and hang down. I've already got some 1000 d cordura, just waiting for warmer days. Trying to do something like this guy did. http://www.duckboats.net/launching2.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleric Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Tuck, Makes perfect sense for me. We had a lot of geese drop in on our mallard dekes this year. In fact, when I'm sitting on ponds, I don't even bother with goose decoys. Sometimes the geese just don't bother with my little stretch of water and, other times, the ducks are enough for them. That is just an amazing boat. Going to have to model my future duck boat around that. Are you stitching up the bags yourself? Pretty handy with the sewing machine? I've got some pants that need some patches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleric Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Oh yes, it's nice to see it with its top down, but how about a picture of that blind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucker301 Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 We've got a local guy who's retired from the upholstery business, but he still does favors every now and then. We'll be working on it in the next couple of weeks. I'll try to set it up and get a few pics. it's an Avery pop-up. We modified the mounts so that it can be taken completely off the boat in about 3 minutes by two men. Mostly, we hunt in permanent blinds, so we don't use the pop-up that much.
