Congrats Dani, a memorable day for sure. I'm not a fan of fog either but have been out navigating in brail more times than I can count. Meclazine has been in my big water bag for years and recently tried the Scopalomine patch - worked great for a 60 hour offshore Tuna hunt.

Interesting problem. I'd do the exterior bag first, then the bottom of the long divider. Next would be all the vertical seams to the long divider and sides of the bag, then the ends of the long divider. Looks like attaching the short dividers to the bottom would take a contortionist and may...

Of the 3 moose I've taken in Nfld, 2 were loaded on a 4 wheeler and the 3rd wasn't too far from the boat 😎

I have eaten Hoodies and fed to hunting buddies with positive comments. I have also eaten a big drake Common Merg that was very good. Aged 1st then a soaked 24hrs in salt water, then 24hrs baking soda water then 24hrs pineapple juice. Cooked according to the recipe in the last chapter of...

Bruce & Kevin, My 1st Nfld hunt was 2013 when I took a cow on the last day with my longbow. 2014 - longbow bull mid week. 2019 - rifle bull on the last afternoon when he wouldn't come into bow range. All 3 hunts were with Portland Creek Outfitters at the same camp because it is one of 2...

Not Nova Scotia but I've had 3 successful moose hunting trips to Newfoundland. All 3 times I hunted the 1st week of October - can't help with NS outfitter info.

Yes. William Mink, aging divers works great. I still got the odd Buffy that even the dog wouldn't eat but all others were much proved after aging. My favorite duck to eat became the Common Golden Eye. It may have had something to do with what they ate when arriving in Wisconsin - shot most on...

And he always remembered you when you called him.

Years ago, Bob at Decoy Rigs would send a catalog and sample card free just for the asking. Always top-notch.

I ALWAYS age ducks and geese and have for at least 25 years. Learned about it from Lou Tisch on this page. 30-35 years ago I switched my focus to hunting primarily divers. Aging has made a life changing difference in my enjoyment of ducks on my plate. More tender, better and mellow flavor...

Don, I replaced the transom in my 1995 Lund 1775 about 5 years ago. I looked at Coosa but went with MDO for cost reasons. At the time Coosa was something like $600/, too much for me. Technically though, Coosa is far superior to wood in that application. With MDO my total cost was around...

Jim and I first met after his Dad died. Only hunted together a couple of times with Phil. Had been planning on a river float for smallmouth on the fly but due to schedules and high water never got it done. He was a good man - RIP.

This is an off-the-wall comment that occurred to me in the middle of the night (of course). For the past year I've had a glop of tree sap in the middle of my windshield that I always forgot to scrape off. Just yesterday I realized that it's gone - just vanished without a trace. The ONLY thing...

Thanks Dave, my understanding is that Boat2Trailer made the Drotto before developing it's version the Ramp-n-clamp. The Ramp-n-clamp is also stainless and I'll be using it in the salt. I'm all for anything to help loading by myself.

Anyone have experience with the Ramp-n-clamp boat loading system? Pros & cons? Considering one for my Texas flats boat/trailer because ....... I'm in my 5th month post total reverse shoulder replacement and I want to make sure I never have to go through it again. I'm not positive that yanking...
