Very informative and interesting as always Steve, appreciate the time you take to post this stuff

I could see the benefits of this program for newer hunters. Bird ID on the wing is skill learned with experience and time a field and this would give guys getting into the sport some wiggle room while they learn. That being said I would see this being a massive failure on the east coast. I...

Tom, I know four rivers layout boats has purchased their previous company (duck boss) I can not confirm but the rumor is that four rivers also bought duck invader and plan to offer 4 boat options total. From what I am told they will offer the DB10, DI13, DB15 and DB17. Again this is just rumors...

Ken I like the option you have on the hen. It?s simple and when setting decoys if you hold it by the head and throw the weight directly away from you much of the line will play off very quickly. Another option to consider would be H weights. I tried them for a bit and didn?t like them but...

I had never considered investing how they are built. Seems plywood isn?t a great choice for that application. I have had the Rogers seats for 2 years now and have not had this issue. May have to look into how they are put together

Gun broker has had a decent selection at good prices. Picked up a couple cases

For sale: 2009 Carsten Canvasback with 6.5 HP mud motor on venture trailer. Mud motor is a mud skipper longtail kit with predator power head. Boat hasn?t been in the water since I put the new motor on. Motor runs flawlessly. I have only run the motor occasionally to keep it working properly...

I will be hunting from my duck boss 15

Was it one of the plastic ones or a fiberglass/Kevlar? They have always been pricey but they are great boats and guys love them. At $1200 it probably didn?t last long

John I?m thinking of going the second week of January. Still trying to finalize schedules

They are in Plymouth

I haven?t personally hunted eiders but I have heard that one method is to hook your long lines to the boat then freely drift about the water dragging your lines behind you. Therefore giving the appearance of trolling the line behind you as you float around

Kevin, Just noticed this reply. So far I have knocked off 24 species, all in NJ. I believe I have pretty much killed everything I can reasonably kill in NJ. If I could get ocean access I could also get eiders and white winged scoters but I think I?m better off going north. Covid killed my...

Thanks for the info Craig. While that?s annoying I?d rather that than come back to find they towed my truck because I used the ramp

Are they town ramps or private? Will I be able to get in the water before first light in the winter time? I?ll spend a couple days scouting before I even attempt to hunt so I?ll have some time to check things out ahead of time but any information before I get up there is helpful

Gentlemen, This is all excellent information. I hadn?t really considered CT, I?m not sure why I hadn?t, although it sounds like it really may be less stressful with not having the same crazy gun laws as mass. Sunday hunting isn?t really a factor for me as I?ll plan this as a three or 4 day...

Gcs, We do get eiders here in NJ. However they are inconsistent, very few adult birds and almost exclusively stay in the ocean or in barnegat inlet which is one of those exclusion zones I mentioned in my first post. My boat is not capable of traversing our inlets into the ocean but from my...

Jeff, I greatly appreciate the detailed reply. I had feared the many complications and gray areas we all face here in the north east would be present in MA. I?ve also been considering RI hoping that the laws may be a little easier to navigate
