What’s that second one?

My buddies just got back, turns out my prickly little buddies are still out in force. They said no more, this last trip broke them. They threw in the towel. They aren't going back either.
You better do the paddle like I used to do them in my canoe when floating rivers. Tie a long safety cord to them.
Yeah, I did that also. There is an A-5 magnum somewhere in the Yadkin, been there about 35 years. I almost wound up with it.Always tied one to my gun too after a friend knocked his overboard.
My Grandfather had a cabin about a mile south of him on Green bay. I remember visiting the shop back when they had an active and open shop. I THINK the shop is closed but Paul Hoefgen still makes/repairs/restores them on a limited basis. I gotta figure out which of my uncles got the Hoefgen Canoe.I officially have a new "boat lust",,,,and guess who's driving through Menominee Michigan in a week????

yeap,,,some concern on that,,,,may regret it,,,which reminds me,,,call vet
I had sedatives for mine so I pulled my own quills. I learned real quick that you would go broke paying to have them removed. I finally just got to the point that we were spending to much time pulling quills and not enough hunting so I decided not to go back.Over the summer we saw them at our cabin which we've never seen in the 30 years I've been going up there. Martins, Bears, Fishers and Martens, Eagles, but never Porkies, though they are ubiquitous.
Bring a hemostat, if you see a dead one scoop it for trash breaking. If your near Menominee my parents know one of the vets in town, he has bird dogs, I could look it up.

I really got lucky, I never had a dog that got them exceptionally bad. But I sure saw some bad ones and did the pulling on some. The first year I was there I saw some dogs being pulled by some guys and you have never lived to you see a dog pass out from pain, they were pulling quills with no sedatives. That was a sight that will stick with me as long as I live.
M98 creekboat. This thing has been fun. I have really enjoyed it. View attachment 34305
It is camo burlap from Walmart cut into strips. I used zip ties to attach it to plastic fence from Lowe's. The fence was cut and zip tied to shape so it hugged the bow and stern of the boat. Small bungie straps hold it tight to the bow. 3/4 oz egg weights ate attached along the sides to keep it laying down instead of curling up.Damn I thought you had ears of corn strapped on there till I blew the pic up.
Is that camo burlap cut in 2-3" strips?
Looks really good.

I roll it up and it rides on back of boat until i get to my spot then I unroll it and lay a little local vegetation on it for additional concealment.
This was another fun hunt out of these little rigs. M98 outfitter with a cap for layout in the sound. Have to have calm days but was a good hunt. We set up two longlines with two creekboats between them.Nice work. Looks like it would work in marsh, swamp, buckbrush or green creek.
Hard to find something that versatile.
