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’ve eaten them in gumbo several times. They’re not bad if all the fat has been removed.

I met several people on there who are still some of my very best friends. My handle was jaker on there. Gave up duck hunting several years ago, but had stopped visiting it before that.

I got banned from that site within 12 hrs of joining.

Over achiever!

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.

Truer words, have never been spoken

Ha. 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.

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.

I stayed on there when it was hoppn'. But hell, anytime I posted a pic of more than a limit the calling out began. After the second call from the GW asking questions, I gave it up. Had to give names, address, phone number, stool sample, etc. of everyone who was there. Then GW had to call them and verify they were they and all that boondoggle.

They wouldn't even let me join.

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.

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

I really hate it for the site. It was a great place for a long time. I was on there a lot. Attitudes, egos, and pissing contests drove a lot of people off. The damn Guntersville city limit debacle over hunting did not help things.

I believe it could be resurrected again, but do not know if it would have the following it once did.

Good luck if you do start it again. Let me know, I will put the word out. We need all the support we can get to promote hunting, of any kind.

I was a duck hunter in a former life.....

I meet at lot of awesome people and hunted with many of the members. Always had a good time at the cook offs and the lake cleanup. Antlerhunter and his brother are good people too. Hate to see it go down hill. Still stay In touch and hunt with many of the people from the sight.

It was also a good site for me when I first started around 2010. I also had nearly zero friends that duck hunted. If it weren't for alducks I would never had known to call academy sports in auburn for my reverse migration duck stamp . True story...oh well

I think you can still buy your Teal tags there.

You an get them there, but they're just on an indefinite backorder
