While reading Ducks Unlimited, Nov./Dec. 2009, pages 42-47, I discovered how water fowlers can obtain “high-quality hunting without breaking the bank.”

“The sub titles of the article are: “Hunting Spots for Budget-Minded Hunters, Budget Blinds, Low-Cost Decoy Spreads, Saving Dollars on Equipment, Strategies for Hunting Ducks on a Budget, Have the Right Mindset, and SAVE MONEY; HIRE A GUIDE.”

This information makes good sense.  Here’s another budget tip: Invest in high quality metal wildlife silhouettes, as a reminder of your duck hunt.  It’s  more budget friendly than taxidermy.

The Internet is becoming the largest form of marketing merchandise of all types.  However, once in awhile, we come across someone who still sells a product using an Old-Fashioned form of personal involvement between buyers and seller.  The story is published in the Western Horseman magazine, October 2009, pages 24-32.  Every year since 1986, Bill Smith has managed a roundup of his brood-mares and foals for branding and selling.

Each year, as many as 75 to 100 buyers actually take part in the roundup.  They personally inspect their potential purchases first hand within the environment where these healthy horses were raised.  Some of the photos Ross Hecox published in the article could make their way into great Western Wall Art.
