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...

Interesting, it's worked for me. Maybe on fresh sap but not dried?

Maybe a full or partial roof or a custom Sail Shade.

Mark, the only stuff I know of that takes care of sap is WD-40. Skin, cars, clothes, etc but have no idea how you'd do a deck.

No, Phil Nowalk homemade.

I got my first 28ga in 2005 as a present to myself for surviving open heart surgery. I've been reloading shotshells since about 1960 so of course bought 28ga MEC 650. It's about all I shoot anymore. I've loaded tons of lead shot as well as Bismuth, steel, Hevishot and variants. The pic is...
