    Ideas on a mounted spot light on my DI

    Agreed with Tom. I have that light bar on mine and it's more of a pain than useful. If it's foggy you can't see a damn thing, and it reflects off the water and makes you blind. It's only really handy when at the ramp and I need to illuminate the walk to the trailer

    First trip with pond boxes

    This cold front should help, just in time for the end of the season

    The "best" grass boat for two hunters and a dog? TDB vs DuckBoss?

    Second what Mike is saying. I have the exact same Jack plate on my DW15. I just put the control switch on my console. People are amazed how shallow we can get with a standard shaft Suzuki DF40 and a boat of that size. Moving it up is slow, but it beats trying to do it by hand! Install was very...

    Those holes in the bottom for your feet?

    Torqeedo Electric Motors

    Havent used but seen a lot of them, especially on pump out boats in the marinas. How does it do against the cold would be my biggest question. Same reason I drive a gasoline vehicle

    $4 a shell? Holy cow!

    @roy brewington even with BPIs prices it's still close to $1.60/shell when reloading bismuth. It used to be cheaper to reload it, and like @MIKE-SID I stocked up, but once reloading gets close to $2/shell I'm looking to buy shells that are a similar price. I got some of the Kent bismuth loads...

    The "best" grass boat for two hunters and a dog? TDB vs DuckBoss?

    I'll agree with @MIKE-SID that his DI13 is good for 2. It's very low. Great for those low spartina marshes I love to hunt. It's way too small for two average sized guys and a big dog in my mind. It felt right with just mike and I. Maybe something like a small AWS. I'm also used to not hunting...

    Aging Ducks; Anyone Try This?

    I too do this. Gut shot are cleaned quickly. The remainder hang in the garage. Hopefully it doesn't get cold enough to freeze them solid in there.

    You Call That Lumber Grading?

    Rick, Maryland regulates anyone cutting forest products. The man in charge of that is a very close friend of mine, I'm actually hoping he comes up for a late season goose hunt later this month. Products going into home construction are typically regulated beyond the state level on the onset...

    You Call That Lumber Grading?

    There is a standard set. I tried to send one of our sawyer trainees to it down in Memphis last summer. NHLA puts it on, and there is a true certificate program. One can even watch a quick webinar on it to get close. Logan Wells had put one on when he was at Wisconsin Department of natural...
