I've really enjoyed his posts and pictures over the years.Very sad.

Funny how that works, I had been hunting the same wildlife management area for 20 + years with no bands . then one year a banded drake wood duck drake and the next day another banded drake woodie. One banded somewhat local and another banded in Vermont. Killed a lot of banded resident geese in...

The strange thing is that I have yet to talk to or meet a waterfowl hunter that was surveyed. And we're stuck with this framework for 5 years. I think if they are going to split the season the way they do, at least give a bigger rest between splits (currently only 5 days), and let it run to the...

I have a hot dipped galvanized trailer that was made in 1973 still going strong. I finally replaced the winch this year as a gear tooth was worn. All the original hardware was replaced with galvanized which I also painted. I painted the trailer with a product that I think was called "alumacote"...

Looks great and I can see the utility of design for salt marsh gunning.

Yea you will literally fall out of it before you tip it over. I have the old USA made version 14' and nice and lightweight rated for 3HP and 1000 pounds weight.

Yea I remember Leroys ramblings but I couldn't remember the name of the site, Thanks. I appreciate all the suggestions and have to check them out. I have to master posting pictures because I need to pick Steve Sanfords brain about repairing a modification to my boats transom "raised it an inch...

I've looked at those sites and realize some of the parts are not available anymore. Prefer the idea of a kit so I have everything when I'm ready to work. I appreciate these and any other suggestions especially from anyone that has used them. Thanks in advance keep them coming.

If most people support universal background checks it's because they don't understand what it entails. First of all there not universal because criminals don't follow them. A law for background checks for private sales is un enforceable without national registration. There are thousands of gun...

Have been watching some youtube videos on fixing old outboards and would like to get a '73 evinrude 18hp and a '68 Johnson 3hp running again. They both ran well when they were fogged and put up,but was many years ago. I would like to know a source where I could get carb rebuild kits, points kit...

I believe I did hunt out of that garvey as well. I got an invite from Mike Matram to do a layout hunt. We broke ice down the canal but then the bay was frozen as far as we could see so we broke a hole at the end of the canal and put out the scooters. We probably could have all sat on the back of...

Anthony I have seen your site on vimeo and have a copy of when broadbill was king, excellent work. I watched "on a falling tide" there and it brought me back to gunning on the saltmarsh, especially the western south shore section. The footage I watched wasn't done as well but interesting...

That looks good. I'm going to watch the full show on my TV rather then my phone. Much more professionally done. Thanks Bill.

I saw a few videos posted on vimeo that might be of interest to some, posted by Terry Blitman and associated with the Long Island Maritime Museum. No great action shots but there are 2 older color home movie type videos with no sound looks like from the 70's of setting decoys for broadbill and...

I am really convinced that I need to build 2 of them to get me back in the saltmarsh game. I regret storing the 2 we made together outside, although by this time they might have deteriorated anyway. The plywood delaminated and the canvas is rough. One was sized to me and the other more generic...

I remember seeing pictures where a guy would have one show up like that when he started a chainsaw and did some cutting.

Yes I know that there nesting success depends greatly on the weather they encounter on the breeding grounds. I'm hoping the burgeoning snow goose populations doesn't start to impact them.

I heard several flocks of brant migrating North Saturday night, flying over my house in the Catskills. Hopefully they have a good breeding season.

Always amazed at the volume of content when I look back at old outdoor magazines Field & Stream, Outdoor Life, and Sports Afield. Lots of in depth articles and a great deal of local focus as well.

Nice to see these style of McComick's decoys. I've been wanting to post up some pictures of some of my decoys as you were doing the tribute at the show. I had a commitment that day but wanted to share the Canada goose sleeper Al made for me at my insistence. I have been working given that I'm an...
