It’s presumptuous and risky handing out shooting tips. I’m not a particularly good shot, but I figure there’s somebody out there who can benefit from my experience, so here are some opinions that may help. Especially with ducks, late season produces the toughest shots. Last Wednesday, I joined my friend Tom Billingsley at Los Banos Wildlife Area [...]

After nearly a full season of evaluation, I’ve got a pretty good handle on the Final Approach Duck Boat. I took my evaluation seriously and conducted all my duck hunting from the Final Approach to date. I even hunted from the boat all of the time – until this last weekend. In fact, I’d [...]

The Final Approach duck boat has been in my garage now for two months or more. Its sitting on two saw horses and I’ve purposefully left it there so I can check it out and think it over each time I pass by. I assembled the blind for the boat about a month ago and was immediately [...]
Just Ordered a Duck Boat

A friend of mine once owned a boat called “The Duck Boat.” It was a 17 foot boat designed specifically for duck hunting. It looked great, stayed afloat in terrific storms and was very comfortable. Cost? About [...]
