    A couple of old waterfowl books

    Richard, congrats on the Dalls and Goat. Dalls were on my bucket list since the days of Jack O'Connor but my bad knees and thin wallet got in the way. Now it's primarily traditional archery, flyfishing the flats with a little duck shooting on occasion. Pete

    A couple of old waterfowl books

    Steve, Yes, a number of folks from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois would get together in the summer at a couple of parks on Pool 8 of the Mississippi River - boats, decoys, dogs and families. It's been a number of years since the last one - I think we probably started in the early...

    Did you guys know....

    That's amazing Eric. I remember finding this site in about mid August that year and lurked for a few weeks before jumping in. To this day it's one of my most significant 'finds' on the internet.

    NDR- Fishing Rod Guide Replacement

    It's easy Carl. I've replaced a few guides as well as building complete rods. I usually go to a tackle shop that has a selection of guides and pick an appropriate size and composition. A kit would be a safe way to start.

    Grumman Sport Boat--HP recommendation?

    Jeff, Always wanted one but never did. Used to see them occasionally on various bodies of water in Wisconsin including the Mississippi River. Got checked by a warden on the Mississippi one time back in the '70s and he had a 15hp Evinrude on his Sportboat. That wasn't the only one with a...

    Traditonal archers - anyone make their own bow?

    Doing ok Chuck. I check in here frequently though don't duck hunt much anymore. Been wintering on the Texas coast for a few years now. Here is a real basic rundown that might clarify. Your questions are basically 2 parts. The 1st relates to the unstrung vs braced form. Between a longbow...
