I have a friend and old Hunter Safety Instructor buddy who called tonight to tell me his 9 year old Chessie passed away yesterday. He is looking for a pup and I was wondering if anybody knew of any breeders or litters in the Mid Atlantic area. Any help would be appreciated. Dave

My dog is getting older and he seems to have feet problems more often from running thru rough terrain. Anybody got any suggestions for a black lab? I've never put shoes or boots on him and I'm not even sure he will wear them. I tried to put a neoprene vest on him years ago and he would disappear...

Heading to Maine the middle of October to have a long weekend with old Navy buddies and chase some birds. The guys said we have the grouse hunting covered but I was wanting to throw some effort at the ducks while I'm up that way. Jeff Reardon gave me some great advice and I was wondering if...

I fell into a pretty good deal this week. A coworker was looking for a pump shotgun for his son and I mentioned that I had a Mossberg 500 pump that had been put away about 5 years ago. He was very interested and when I showed him pics, he said he would like to trade for it. He offered a Mossberg...

Living on the southeastern peninsula of Maryland, it's not very common to hear of a black bear in our neck of the woods. Here is the article from the local paper. "Police found the remains of a young black bear early Wednesday morning on the shoulder of the southbound lanes of Route 235 north of...

My neighbor and his sons have been outgrowing their Jon boat for the past few years and he recently brought home an Army Ponton/Bridge Boat. I think it was Troy Fields who posted pics of one of these several years ago (2012ish?) but I thought I would post a couple pics for those that have never...

I will be posting the restoration of my "NEW" 1966 Crestliner North Star here. The object is to bring this classic aluminum boat back into use and convert it into a Sea Duck Zone vehicle that will work the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Some fun facts: Year built - 1966 Material -...

It's been awhile since I was on here.....as a matter fact it took me a couple days to figure out my old username and password. Hope everyone is doing well. I took the last year or so to buckle down and finish my Masters Degree and some other important certifications for my work. I had a run-in...

My wife surprised me with a nice birthday gift that was done by a local artist named Donnie Poe. A really talented and great guy to talk with. This will look great in the shop. dc

I got a great decoy in the mail today! An authentic Pat Gregory working decoy. Thanks so much Pat. It's going on the mantel ..................until next season! dc

The second youth day for Maryland waterfowling is this Saturday and I am optimistic about our upcoming hunt. While scouting today I saw large rafts of Bluebills, Goldeneyes, and Buffies. This has been pretty normal, but I also saw a few flocks of Canavasbacks, Gadwalls, Widgeon, and Redheads...

Hello all, hope the season was a bountiful and enjoyable one. I haven't been on much and I have to admit I have been missing it. The season ends next weekend and it turned out to be better than the last two seasons combined. My youngest son had another good year and downed his first and second...

I recently went to my local gun dealer to buy the remaining parts needed to finish an AR15 build but he didn't what I needed. While there I wandered around looking at what he had in stock and came across a 12 ga Semi-auto called a Westley Scott. It chambers 3 inch, came with 5 chokes, synthetic...

I hunt a military base occasionally during the season and I decided to go after some puddle ducks today in one of the many swampy areas on this base. It's not much different than many other places I can hunt except for one thing. At 0800 on the dot, our National Anthem is played throughout...

Just spent a weekend in St. Michaels, Md for my 20th wedding anniversary and was very pleased with the area. My wife and I took a ride on the oldest active skipjack (Rebecca T Ruarck) and thoroughly enjoyed the time on the water but especially the history of the Chesapeake bay and the 1864...

Not a paid spokesman by any means, but just wanted to pass on the great prices that Roger's has on steel shot. Not all sizes are always available, but most common sizes in 2 3/4 are usually there and the shipping is free. Just purchased a few cases a couple weeks back and was very pleased with...

I hunted last Friday and while I had some free time (birds weren't flying well) I noticed that one loop on my call lanyard was empty. I quickly thought about what "extra" call at home I would like to add to the assortment. I quickly forgot about it until yesterday while I was hunting in some...

Went out last Friday with a couple of buddies and used the boat to put the decoys out and then hunted among the rocks on the shoreline. A couple of hours later we had 3 Goldeneye drakes and 9 Buffies. My dog KC had eight of the twelve retrieves before I retired him for the day.....the boat got...

It is with a very heavy heart that I write this. My brother-in-law passed on Thanksgiving Day after a tough battle with cancer for over a year and a half. He was my best man at my wedding, my oldest son's godfather, and even shared my oldest son's birthday. He was 56 and leaves behind a...
