I agree with Josh, EMT gel. I keep it in my bag and have used it in the past. I always make sure I have a good tube full anytime I take the dog out. Mike

Nate, Yes, the show was great. Sorry I didn't get a chance to stop and chat when I saw you but I had my twin 3 year olds with me and visits were sparse and short when they happened. There is a campground about 10 minutes north of the park on Rt 9 called the Sea Pirate. My family and...

Chris, Give me a call when you get down. We'll probably stop at the diner for breakfast and then hit the park. I agree with Jode, Skeeters has good crabs. The Tuckerton Pub is also a great place for a sit down meal. Although you can get filled up on the food in the park. Sounds...

After the wire wheel coat with zinc chromate primer.

There's usually a small flock that migrates down to NJ. Maybe 4-6 birds annually.

Plenty of great advice here. The only thing that I will add is that remember you are only working with 18 decoys. If the birds flare or are not interested, don't be afraid to change your setup. We typically hunt with large numbers of decoys and are not afraid to move them if we have to...

Jim, He's been busy with work and the kids. He sometimes lurks when he has a chance. Try him here: Chris2P@verizon.net Mike

Traditionally a true sneakbox is a 1 man boat, Mark Rongers should be able to way in on this with his new boat experience. I would recommend putting him in a pond box next to you if you want to run a sneakbox. Motor out with him and you in the boat and put your gear in the pondbox. That's how...

Don't rush into anything. A good breeder should take the dog back if things are not working out. Hopefully there is not more to your story than what you shared. When I was 25 I got married, bought a house that needed a ton of repairs and got 2 dogs. I had no idea what I wanted to do...

I have a copy of the first book and you wouldn't believe how much I paid. Got it off of a clearance shelf in a bookstore in Delaware. Anyway, please forgive my ignorance but is this just a re-issue of the first book or is there new, additional materials that are not found in the first edition...

Great photos Bob. When I had Boss out last year for the first time it took him about 45 minutes to figure out the game. It was absolutely awesome. I got an added bonus when I found out that he points prior to flushing. Its genetic to his line but the breeder doesn't mention it because...

I had a similar setup on an old sneakbox I bought from someone in NJ. The original owner had built boards for around the cockpit (they called them bulletboards) that could be put on in seconds. Try to picture this: -sprayshield (from a southbay duckboat) was on the bow end of the cockpit...

That's awesome. My twin boys will be 2.5 in May and I can't wait to do stuff like that with them. My one boy loves bird hunting and comes running anytime it is on the tv. Videos are lethal as he sits by my side and doesn't move until it is over. He is hysterical saying quack, quack and...

I'm in the market but have decided on a groundforce. I have to agree with the others: -I don't like the clamshell of the powerhunter -I have an eliminator but it is not compact and easily transported -dogs are messy in a field and shouldn't be in a blind, how do you have him/her heel...

My cousin and buddy just went with Penobscott Bay Outfitters this year. My other buddy, who is a full time guide, has gone with them several times in the past. Heard nothing but good things about the hunts. And the food is great too.
