New iPhone App: Migration Central

Duck Junkies has broadened waterfowl hunters migration information sources

DuckJunkies.com has launched an iPhone app, Migration Central, to compliment their existing web-based community and hunting resource for waterfowl hunters.

The online community provides hunters with networking opportunities and a wealth of information including a migration map featuring a detailed weather component.

Migration reports come from a variety of sources ranging from waterfowl professionals to weekend warriors.

The new mobile app for the iPhone allows waterfowlers to follow the migration from their iPhone. The app will automatically pull up current reports nearest to your location or allow you to search on your own.

Icing on the cake: All member reports submitted each week are entered into a drawing for gift certificates and prizes!

Another 1st in the Duck Blind

by Chris Skillings

As some of you may remember I posted a story last year in reference to my neice Talayia. The story was that she was able to kill her 1st mallard during the MN youth last season. The cool thing about that was that it was only the 2nd mallard shot on that pond in 15 years, it is primarally a wood duck pond.

Well two years in a row I can report another first in the duck blind this ones hits a little closer to home as it involves my son Xavier.

The Hitch Hiker: Duck Junkies' Traveling Decoy

Welcome to the first annual DUCK JUNKIES TRAVELING DECOY PROGRAM!

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 win the decoy from their flyway along with the journal/photos. Sign Up Now!

Interview with Adam...

We met up with Adam Lynch to get his story...

If you have ever looked through a sportsman's catalog, it's likely you have seen Lynchmob Game Calls in them. Chris Boatwright and I recently caught up with Adam Lynch, whose father George Lynch owns and started the company. He was in Madison Alabama with some students and friends that he pastors through Mosaic1, which is where he works pastoring to college students at different colleges in Michigan where he lives.

They were here in Alabama helping out victims of the recent tornados that have come through our are leaving its wake of devastation and destruction. They were out in the heat all day cleaning up brush and debris and helping rebuild people’s homes, and anything else that needed to be done. He brought six students to help him out, and they all were working really hard when we got there to see him. Adam, 25, went to college at Spring Arbor University in Michigan and his family’s business is located on Lake Erie.

The Drill by W.S. Allen

A man, a dog and a bumper.

As the white rubber tube flies effortlessly through the thick Texas air his muscles constrict and his focus and dedication are clearly visible. I give the command "mark," without hesitation the rubber tube captures our attention. At the moment of impact through eyes clear and dedicated, out of respect more than guidance, he considers my expression. His goals are well defined, to please first and to capture second.

He's not confused as we walk in a direction different than the path gravity dictated for the rubber bumper. He's done this countless times, effortlessly and with an air of familiarity we wander a hundred yards away. Our ambling gate mask the concentration felt by both as we plan the next few seconds over and over in our minds. His attention at odds between me and the small rubber tube pinned to the earth by forces unseen a hundred yards away.

Budget Boat Blind

Can you add a custom blind to your boat for under $50?

Yes! You can 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.


I started off by going to Home Depot 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.
I then grabbed the rest of the items needed to finish my project.

Items needed:

• 4- 10', 1/2" aluminum conduit @ $2.99 each (2 bent 90 degrees 6 inches from each end)
• 1 pack of 4 straight conduit connectors 1/2" @ $1.99/ pack
• 4- 2 ½" bolts with nuts @ $1.50
• 4- ¾" bolts with nuts @ $0.89
• 2- coder pins 2" long @ $1.00/each
• 1- 2' section of 90 degree aluminum with holes punched through @ $3.50
• Blind cover (you can use what you' dlike but I used camo burlap and twin that I already had)

Tools needed:

• Drill
• Jig saw
