    Visions of duck boats danced in my head

    Likely some members of this forum wonder what I'm doing here...haven't duck hunted in more than five years, don't own a duck boat (but I do have a nice Lund 14 footer), but do appreciate all the flank feathers friends gift me. But I USED to think about duck boats a lot. I started thinking...

    Pintail back feathers

    I will happily trade some flies, or at the very least, pay postage, for these feathers from a pintail's back. There aren't many of them. They are for a specific fly I tie for landlocked salmon. Thanks, and please PM me if you can help. The feathers: Gary

    Journals

    A thread on another forum got me thinking about my hunting/fishing journals. The farthest back mine go is, I think, 1981, when I was a grad student at the University of Tennessee. They progress from there to the mid-80's, when I was a grad student studying ruffed grouse on the Tug Hill...

    NDR (except for some teal) a tribute to a friend

    workbench...well, woodshed

    After years of storing our firewood in stacks under tarps, we decided it was time to make a proper woodshed. She who must be obeyed said it could only be three courses deep. I don't question, I just "do." We need to store 3 cords, so I did the math: volumetrically, it needed to be 4' wide...
