Last years opener here was the worst I've ever seen. You can plan and plan but there's nothing you can do when some dick head camps out the night before in the spot you were planning on hunting. I hope the unusual cold weather and lack of ducks around here last year will persuade some of the duck commanders to give up this year.

We have a gentleman's agreement here, where you stake a sign and build a blind where you choose to hunt, prior to the opener, and although most folks will honor your chosen spot, they will still set up too damn close. I always pick small, out of the way places to hunt the opener, as far away from the crowd as possible. No duck is worth putting up with that crap!

I hope it folds down. I finished at 930 last night and don't try putting it down. It folded down nicely last year though and I have alittle less brush on it this year.

Looks really good. Kinda heavy looking though. Then again after all the weight I saw you put in that boat for bow fishing I doubt you have anything to worry about.

Is that public marsh?

You put that boat to good use year round don't ya?
Looks like all that brush fold away neatly too.
What do you attach it with? Zip ties?
