    waterfowl blind....NOT layout

    Have been seeing some waterfowl shows where guys use some type of box or wall blind (not bale) in fields instead of layouts. Thinking these would be good for bean fields as often there is no where to hide and layouts stand out too much. Anyone use these, know a brand or kind etc?

But I couldnt get the motor to hardly work. The light on foot pedal for constant was on but no power to prop. I would...

    bug identification

    Came across a bug in my garden. Looked like it just hatched out of it's larvae shell? It was just kind of drying. It was sorta like a wasp crossed with a beetle. Had wings, an orange thorax with bright blue dots in a line. Blue antennae. Of course I didn't think of taking a pic. Can't find...

    boat help

    So out of the blue my gas gauge on the dash of my boat quit working. I hate not knowing how much gas is in the tank. It must be getting power because when I turn the key the needle moves all the way past full. So the fact that it moves it must be getting power...right? Is the float bad..do...

    lead core

    I pull cranks a fair amount. The area I live there isn't a lot of need for deep water cranking as lakes aren't that terribly deep. However sometimes it is needed. I don't have experience with lead core. What reels and line do you guys recommend. Strictly walleye. thanks

    ducks

    So where are they? Things froze up here pretty good, even big waters partially froze. Have seen minimal movement of birds. Mostly snows and some honkers. Not much for duck movement. Spotty. Do you guys up there still have ducks or are they already tanning their feathers on the beach...

    blind grass

    What are you guys using for fake grass in your layout blinds. I've always put natural field material in the loops but see where many have put in a manufactured type that seems to look good. Would be nice to leave in for much of year.

    Aimpoint Red dot

    So I picked up an aimpoint red dot scope for my AR. Use will be for coyotes. I've sighted in etc. I'm not 100% sure this is my thing. I might prefer a simple scope with magnification. Can anyone give me some of their experience using one of these for coyote hunting? Good and bad. I worry my...

    foxpro experts

    I have a foxpro inferno. Nice little call. Have only used it a few times and have had success with it. But living in dakotas it obviously gets windy here. The inferno is great in calm conditions but it's not too often we get dead days. It seems that it may not be as loud as I prefer in breezes...

    scope

    Thinking of switching up my scope on my yote rifle. (22.250) Any recommendations for a scope that gathers decent light, higher magnification than average...say over 9 power? Also not an overly spendy one?
