Well Capt. Jack, I have to admit, both mine and my Chessies bloodlines are Yankee. I was born in Southwestern PA, and she is from Chicago, but we both love the South, and may have just a little drawl!

Beautiful Chessie....There's no other retriever with as much drive as Chessies in my opinion.

Great story. One of my dreams is to go on a Dall and Rocky Mountain sheep hunt (as I can't afford the Stone and Desert hunts). I just got back from duck hunting in Alaska, and it really got my blood motivated to hunt sheep.

Thanks everyone....I'll be back at it next week for the opening of the split, hopefully we'll have more Sun. I have some pics of my buddies Chessie as well, just haven't processed them yet. My Chessie is from Caroway Chesapeakes. http://www.caroway.com/ Carol is located in Illinois...

Not a lot of Sun opening week, but here are two of my favorites

Very nice. Thanks for making my pics look like crap, lol.

Thanks all. Dani, you'd love it! Matty, I did go with an outfitter, Tim Bouchard. Here is his website, and it'll tell you when all his seasons are for each species/location. I high recommend him. http://www.akduckhunts.com/

Here are a few pics I took, but Tim and Brian have most of the bird pics, so maybe they will post a couple of them. Great trip, great scenery, and great guides!

A few more weeks, and we'll be dropping Harli's in Alaska! I can't wait! Dave

If you can make it to North Alabama, we'll take ya on a scull boat hunt for Cans.....an experience you'll never forget! PM me if interested. Thanks. Dave

Beautiful gun.....if you don't have any luck here, try Gunbroker or Auction Arms...they are great places to sell/buy guns....

Home Depot, at the intersection of 565/Parkway.

Hey George, good to hear from ya, I just used 4 x 8 sheets of the 2 inch insulating foam from Home Depot, which is water resistant. The cockpit dimensions are roughly 30" wide by 6' long, with a slight longitudinal taper towards the front. I squared off the bottom, so it isn't really...

Thanks for the comments guys....Brian, it's lightweight, but just a little too big for a carry on! Ed, I bought nine 4 x 8 sheets of foam at $30/sheet (might find it cheaper elsewhere, one sheet of 3/8" plywood, and a gallon of raka epoxy with slow hardener. So I guess a little under $400....

Thanks.........The bottom (plywood section) is 6ft long, and 30 inches at its widest portion up near where the torso is, then tapers probably to 24 inches or so (not exactly sure) where the feet are as you can see in the first few pics. It was a fun, easy build, and I can't wait to use it. Let...

I guess we'll just wait and see....I don't plan on beating the heck out of it, but who knows what'll happen.

I then took it back home and slopped on some more paint, cut out the headrest so the board would lay down a little, and then painted the board. I like the tiger stripes, but I think the overall color is a little too light for my liking, so I may start over with a darker base. For the pattern...

Well, I took the boat out last Friday while my Dad was in town. Recalculated that I needed about 350 lbs to sink the boat down to the wings. I had 160lbs in the boat with me on these pics. It didn't paddle well (I don't care much about that), but floated like a dream! Very stable. I move...

Wow, you lucky dog......you should feel bad for stealing that boat, lol. I absolutely love mine, there is so much you can do with them......to include paddling out to a stump, getting your gear out, then sinking them out of sight beside you!! Great find, congrats!
