Fred, after a short adjustment period, you're going to love retirement. Took me a few months to realize I didn't have to face the grind anymore (hospital RN) and I haven't looked back as I retired when I was 62. I still get calls almost daily from agencies that have a great "travel nurse" job...

I ditched the clips years ago and just tie my decoys to the mother line. Easier, and cheaper. Get Diamond Braid from Decoy Rigs. It's the best.

Three layouts sitting around for the last 27 years and he wants 850? The well on those boats will cure you of ever wanting to get into layout boat hunting. If you're feet aren't comfortable and upright you get about 15 minutes before your begging for mercy. Maybe he meant $8.50 and got the...

Great video, and I love that you included the necktie on some of the shots. They got dressed up, even to duck hunt way back when.

On FBM Cleveland Ohio, there are 2 layouts for sale that are a very unusual design. If you look closely at the last picture you can read the makers name on it, and if I'm reading it right it says John Kalash. If indeed these are/were his boats I have never seen anything like it. I'm not that...

Yes, when it's dry it falls right out, and you can dig it out no problem. They have it on eBay for 69.00. It's easy to adjust the height. surf n swamp seat is how it's listed. Probably had mine for 25 years at least so it's durable. The end is pointed so it is easier to put in the ground.

I like the looks of the Dive Bomb, but I'm not spending 125.00 to park my butt down. I'm still using my decades old Surf and Swamp seat. All plastic, light weight and "fat man tested".

If you haven't looked at gundogbreeders.com you should check them out. I can't recommend anyone, but I want to warn you to stay away from the Lancaster Pa. area when getting a dog. That area of Pa. has the highest rate of puppy mills in the country. Three things in life that require you to get...

Looks like you got a lot of work ahead of you. Can't wait to see it when you are finished.

Sweet.

The report flat out states that Pintail numbers are down, and yet the bag limits has been moved to 3/day and they don't even specify whether it be drakes or hens. WTH

Well Pa. has finally broken through one of the last old "blue laws" that was still in place: Sunday Hunting. Governor Shapiro has signed the bill into law and we are now officially allowed to hunt on Sundays. The Game Commission is meeting 7-28 to see if they will put it into effect this season...

Might be tough in a canoe, but that's pretty neat. Maybe you took some game records, and some 40's hits records, just in case it was slow.

I've always wondered about something. The federal rules for duck hunting came out in 1918 and prohibited a number of changes and installed an actual season for same. My question is, since they specifically stated that you could not use recorded sounds, what options were there for guys to use...

Anthony I don't do any towing at all so I cant answer your question. However I would suggest that you go to the Toyota Tundra Forum and check out the responses there. There is a wealth of information there and plenty of guys/gals that do lots of towing. They can even point you in the right...
