I used to post on there quite a bit. Hell, I even met up with Gobama and went hunting out of kayaks with him one time. Peculiar doesn't even began to describe that gentleman. He didn’t take you for a ride in his mini van did he? I’d bet y’all put out at the fackler bridge, I use to always see him right there when I’d pass by or hunt in that area. I was active on there for years. Gobama was a very strange cat but killed a lot of birds from what I could tell. He would scrap out some limits.. a lot of them was from paddling around and finishing off wounded ducks that has strayed away from other hunters. Joker loved killing and eating coots, too.

I was very active on there as well. I went to a couple events and cookouts, hunted with some of the guys, and made some very good friends.

I think I remember you being on there, Gomer A) other than shooting a couple of wood ducks once in a while, the only way to kill birds was to travel at least a couple of hours Northeast, or about 5 hours west/Northwest. Also, the 1 or 2 places within a reasonable distance to even kill that couple of wood ducks would mostly require me to have a boat B) I was going to have to fight for those 1 or 2 wood ducks against every Duck Dynasty-watching goober in the state, on public land, and C) I was going to spend a small fortune to do it. Truer words, have never been spoken

Put in at Mud Creek launch beside the BBQ joint. And hell no I didn't get in that van. When I met him at the gas station, he was asleep in the van with the nose of the kayak on his dashboard and the tail end hanging out the open back hatch of the van. And yeah, he was a coot eating fool.
Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas: sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches.

My brother and I own it. We both now have very demanding jobs and kids to take care of, so time is very limited. It did get popular with the duck dynasty wanbees, people got ill because or the classified ad policy and we just got kinda let it simmer. Prior to that, we had a great group of members and I've kept in touch with many of them through the years. My favorite thing is the year we had the first cookout and gave away a lot of door prizes and raffle items. That year we were able to distribute 100% of the monies collected to buy Christmas for around two dozen angel tree kids l across Alabama. So, in my opinion, the site did what it was intended to do early on. Maybe one day, we'll find time to resurrect it and be able to do more through the site for the community's arroyo Alabama. We also started the very first lake clean up on Guntersville. Just duck hunters in duck boats picking up trash on the lake shore. We filled 6-8 dumpsters. The next year, the PALS group wanted to join in, took it over and offered us ZERO credit and used the prior clean up to go around getting donations for their Organization. Left a really bad taste in our mouths, we weren't wanting anything at all when we started it, other than getting a bunch of duck hunters together to clean up all of the trash we saw every time we went hunting. And in the end, others saw fit to use our idea as a money making idea.
A couple more tidbits: I met Phil Robertson and his son Alan a few years ago and they said they were both familiar with the site and even mentioned a couple of the funnier posts. The other tidbit, Duck Commander was the only company that we approached the year we had the first cookout that offered zero donations to us for our fundraiser door prizes. The most generous, a guy from Sand Mtn made a custom smoker that was unbelievably fantastic and Netbait gave over 100 packs of their baits for us to give away.
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go.... (Seuss)

Antlerhunter it's a shame that a few ruined what was a good thing for many.
Seems like the last 2 seasons the crowds are starting to slow down around here. Unfortunately we aren't seeing the ducks that are normally here either.
I've got 2 roost ponds on my property and normally there are several hundred wood ducks here. One of the ponds is basically dry except the run of the creek and the other pond that I planted an acre of rice in this summer when it dried up has zero ducks!
Last year we could watch 50 to 100 wood ducks fly over my fields every afternoon going to the pond basically in my backyard. This year I haven't seen over a dozen and they were headed elsewhere.
Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience. Emerson

I got on there when I first started duck hunting. I had zero friends that duck hunted back then. Luckily through that site and friends of friends I got to meet some awesome people that helped me learn the right way to do it. Made some lifelong friends because of it. I hadn't logged on in a while til a month or so ago and saw that it was pretty quiet. I haven't even picked up a shotgun this season so far other than dove hunting. Got tired of every time we went somewhere it always seemed to end up with someone trying to set up to close or generally showing a lack of respect for other hunters. Now I either go to Ark or will go around here whenever a buddy invites me and my daughter. Its a shame too because I still love to do it as much as I ever did. But my oldest daughter loves as it just as much as I do and I'm not just going to put her in the situations that we had to deal with a lot of times on public land
