check out the mud buddy fast grass boat blind (this will give you the general idea) and then you can make it yourself out of metal electric conduit and blindgrass material

WaterDog by the godfather of dog training Richard Wolters himself is a great book for the do it yourself trainer and his techniques work well and fast and if you are the more visual type I hear there is now a dvd based on this book available at bass pro hope this helps.

what about geese? any activity at all?

this is all great to know at least i wont have to call or drag decoys around to find skeeters i better go to the range though... hear they are tough to shoot. On a serious note though about how far north are we talking for a decent hunt and some species variety.

Im new to the area (Biloxi) and the forum just wondering if anyone has any suggestions bout good areas in the southern miss. region for some good duck bustin when it comes time
