Finished the duck blind today! My carpenter friend did most of it. Made a 4'x 10' deck with 1"x6" boards to keep our feet out of the muck. Screwed tree branches vertically to the deck and then screwed horizontal branches on top of the vertical ones to create a frame. Put a bunch of branches that have small twigs around the frame and wove tall grass throughout the twigs so the wind won't blow the grass away. A few wood ducks were on the far side of the pond watching us work. Hope they show back up Saturday.

Hi all- new waterfowl hunter here. I am the first in my family to jump in so unfortunately do not have the benefit of learning from generations before me. I am a 27 year old living in Hudson County, and keep my things at my parents house in Bergen County (apartment life...). I got tired of skeet shooting and had a friend that got me into waterfowl and took me on a couple hunts to learn the basics, but he has been hunting more in private clubs in PA where he is from (got me hooked and sort of left me hanging!). I have been on a couple of hunts by myself this season (was at Great Bay Blvd on Saturday and got my first black duck along with a bufflehead). Due to scheduling issues, my last chance to duck hunt this season will be this coming Saturday (1/18) and am just looking to connect with some people and maybe tag along to learn a few tricks. I have 20 mallard decoys and 4 canada goose decoys, canoe, camo burlap and netting for cover, semi 12ga with plenty of shells, and am a good shot. Am willing to travel wherever I need to. Hopefully one of you are going out this Saturday and are willing to let me tag along. Really looking to make some connections, learn a few tricks of the trade, and maybe make a few friends along the way for seasons to come! If not, any suggestions on good coastal spots to drop in with a canoe are welcome as well. Have tried Manahawkin and GBB thus far. Thanks all!

Hope everyone is having a nice summer. I am looking for a small boat I can use during duck season. Right now I hunt out of a canoe but would love to have a little more reach and be able to get a little deeper a little faster. I hunt solo most of the time but may have others I hunt with, so something that can be manageable when I am alone, but can hold two people+gear. If anyone either knows of something for sale used or has suggestions on how to find one or rig one up, I would greatly appreciate it. Not looking to break the bank here either, so something on the cheaper side. Also side question- anyone know where I can buy black duck decoys for cheap? Or can I just use mallard hens?
