Hey Seraphim, I ended up getting a canoe to start out with: https://duckboats.net/community/threads/oscoda-canoe.356233/

Yep I think I will need to cut the shine down some way or other, thanks for the suggestions. The gel coat looks good from further back but up close it shows it's age a bit, it has some very minor cracking. Not sure what the technical boat term would be for what's going on. I assume it's just the...

Thanks, those do look good. I'll keep these in mind if the seats keep bugging me.

PEENT Thanks for posting this, good reminder. It doesn't look like there's been many updates since last year but there is a research cooperative dedicated to tracking eastern woodcock, they have some maps where you can view their tracking data along with some write ups, fun reading...

Steve, love the list of influences and style discussion. Have you ever looked at any of Rex Brasher's art work? I only know him from my boss, who is really into those "Field Notes" notebooks, and they did a series of notebooks with his bird artwork on them. Seems like there is a group of folks...

Figured I would share some updates on this: Finally got a chance to try the boat out for a short family trip this weekend. Overall a success! Nobody fell out of the boat, cried, learned any new curse words, or anything like that. Boat seemed sound, I did notice a very slight bit of flexing of...

Thanks for bringing that up, meant to mention I ordered an end cap from a site I found: https://northwestcanoe.com/shop/ols/products/end-cap We'll see how well it fits, I suspect it will be a little larger than the original but I figured I can live with that or trim it down if needed.

I didn't see any specific answer for your original bill length question. I have a subscription to Birds of the World and there is an appendix with some Morphometric Measurements: GA and SC, 2001-2006 Source: https://birdsoftheworld.org/bow/species/ameoys/cur/appendices I tried copying the...

Great discussion on the latest one, the list of all the "in-house" issues for Louisiana was really interesting to hear. Nice that someone is focused on what they can do in their own backyard to affect change rather than just pointing fingers.

Finally got around yesterday to scrubbing off some of the dirt that had accumulated on this boat. Looks a little nicer now. Still haven't had a chance to take it out yet! Appreciate all the suggestions.

I have his Duck, Duck, Goose book but I may have to pick that one up too. Monday ended up being a wash for snipe, went to a couple game lands here; first one had decent water level but the impoundment was too thick with grass, not enough open mud (at least that's my guess) and the second one...
