    Converting a manual start outboard to electric - Yamaha F40

I hunt in NJ so its pretty cold here in late December and January. I charge the battery at the beginning of the year and not again until the off season. Its...

    Black Brant Hunting on the Pacific Coast

    Do want you want to do. I can shoot brant every time out. If you are near where they want to be at low tide you don't even need decoys. I consistently decoy brant to black duck decoys and a rig of bluebills, cans, and bufflehead. Flocks of up to 50 easily. Brant are not very bright. AT ALL. Ive...

    Attn Brad Bortner

    Josh I don't think its smell. I think its more that they have good ears for sound, and have good eyes to pick up movement. I even think the vibration of walking on the mud is felt in those shallow puddles.

    I will be there if it happens. Who knows what will happen with this governor??? Philadelphia just cancelled everything outdoors, parades, marathons, 5k's etc. Our Governor currently has a quarantine for 14 days from approximately 36 other states. I don't know when that expires. Ive been home...

    Calling all 4 eyes, lasik question

    I had it done in 2008. I would do it again in a second. The trade off is the starbursts at night. Headlights and tail lights but its not bad enough to keep me from driving at night. I need reading glasses now but wearing them for a short period of time to read a menu or small print wouldn't...

    Transfer of homemade boat from Delaware to Pennsylvania

    Spot on Jode there would be hundreds of sneak boxes that would not be able to be registered. There are plenty of home built boats out there that have been around for decades that wouldn?t pass the USCG regulations but have been in service with no problems. I have to register nun Sam Hunt this...
