Work in Progress

This site is a work in progress. It's the middle of the '2018-2019 season but I'll try to update as often as I can. I'd really like this page to be a place to share ideas for the DIY Waterfowler. If you'd like to share your project send me a couple pictures and a description of your method and I'll get them featured as soon as I can. Thanks! Just because someone's idea is different, it doesn't mean it's wrong.
