Well, I guess it is a workbench sort of related. 😊 I treat writing just like I treat carving Decoys or any other pursuit. Patience , practice and consistency. Check out my latest blog post when you have a spare three minutes, if you're so inclined...

Been a busy month Christmas orders and commissions coming off the bench like crazy. Here's a group of canvasback. I took out and got a picture on the coldest morning so far this year.

Wow! That's pretty amazing. I thought they were just conversation pieces. Now they are even cooler.

Most of those groups aren't worth a damn. Spam like crazy and meaningless nonsense post. I started a group about 10 years ago. "Crick life". It's not searchable, you have to be recommended by a friend. It's just Hunting and Fishing. But largely based on waterfowl. Myself in a good group of...

Those are super cool Eric

They are even working their way up into Delaware. Along the nanticoke . I have a buddy that has killed several in that area of Delaware and there have been trail camera pictures as for north as a Dover.

Thank you, Mark

Correct. They escaped James Island in the late 1800s. Md has tried to eradicate them for years. Now they see their economic upside and have monetized it heavily.

I was a little skeptical of it when the gun was first offered for sale to me. I was not familiar with the round. But I love the Winchester 70 platform so I took a shot at it. And boy am I glad I did.

Rifle season on the eastern shore was pretty quiet overall. I managed to put a nice shot on this decent stag. The 257. Bob is my new favorite sika Caliber.

Awesome deer everyone! Congratulations, looks like many of you are having a great season. I tagged my first 10 pointer ever in New Jersey here. With my bow. I've had a little bit of luck on the Eastern shore. Shot a couple nice stags. One with the bow one with the muzzleloader. Hopefully I...
