As most of you know we have been going through a website upgrades... and it has been a struggle... for nearly 3 months.</p>
<p>At this time you'll notice most of the content is back and the <a href="http://duckjunkies.com">forum</a> is working once again but there are still glitches, some 404 errors and login issues for some members. Please give us a week to workout more of these items and if you are still finding glitches are having trouble please email our webmaster.</p>
<p>We sincerely thank you for your patience and support! </p>

<br /><div><h1><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Welcome to the first annual DUCK JUNKIES TRAVELING DECOY PROGRAM!</span></h1><p><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">We are pleased to announce that in addition to the decoy we are sending overseas for the troops to pass around, we will also be sending a duck decoy through each flyway for the 2011-2012 waterfowl hunting season! Each weekend a new person/group will hunt over the decoy assigned to their flyway. They will take pictures and maybe a video and then make a journal entry about the hunt and send the decoy and journal on to the next participant. When the decoy has completed it's journey, all participants will be entered in a drawing to <strong>win the decoy</strong> from their flyway along with the journal/photos. <a title="Take Part in the Traveling Decoy" href="http://www.blogger.com/38-traveling-decoy-2011-2012/page1.html" target="_blank">Sign Up Now!</a>

You can </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">add a cheap custom scissor blind to your boat and summer is the time! Read on and I will walk you through how I added a blind to my 12' duck boat for only $35.00.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I started off by going to H<span style="font-size: 12pt;">ome D<span style="font-size: 12pt;">epot and getting 4 sections of ½" by 10' conduit. I did not have a conduit bender so a little bit of asking I got the guys there to bend 2 pieces of conduit at 6 inches from each end to 90 degrees. This would form the top of the blind. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I then grabbed the rest of the items needed to finish my project.</span></span></span><br />
<h3><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Items needed:</span></h3><ul><li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">4- 10', 1/2" aluminum conduit @ $2.99 each (2 bent 90 degrees 6 inches from each end)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">1 pack of 4 straight conduit connectors 1/2" @ $1.99/ pack</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">4- 2 ½" bolts with nuts @ $1.50</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">4- ¾" bolts with nuts @ $0.89</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">2- coder pins 2" long @ $1.00/each</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">1- 2' section of 90 degree aluminum with holes punched through @ $3.50</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Blind cover (you can use what you' dlike but I used camo burlap and twin that I already had)</span></li>
</ul><h3><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Tools needed:</span></h3><ul><li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Drill</span></li>

Modern mines reclaim the surface during and after mining is completed, returning the land to useful purposes. The reclaimed mine lands are usually more attractive to wildlife and human uses than before mining started.</span></div><br />

In Pennsylvania, just north of Pittsburgh, history was all around me with Civil War fields, The Erie Canal, George Washington camp sites and French Creek. I was always fascinated with how things began and the stories that could be told by them.</p><p>Even though I grew up about 45 miles south of Lake Erie, I’d never been waterfowling as a kid. My father owned a small outdoor store called “Murphy’s Rod & Gun” in Meadville, Pa. I can remember as a kid hunting deer, rabbit and squirrel, but never waterfowl. No clue why, as a half mile away from the house I grew up in was Woodcock Lake. I’d always see duck’s and geese on the lake while bass fishing as a boy during the hot humid summer’s and remember a few duck blinds along the old road that ran near it.</p><p><br /><a href="http://www.duckjunkies.com/Hunting-Stories/3-kings.html">READ MORE</a> of this story by Jon Murphy</p><div class="blogger-post-footer">*To comment, click on the title of this post.
