Hey Eric, The Inuit are very active on FaceBook. I am a member of one group "Inuit Hunting Stories of the Day". They post a lot, but not much of interest. I think you really need to join a group at the community level. There are Inuit that post on the Duck Hunters of Newfoundland group...
I have not spent a lot of time on the Black Duck/Mallard/Hybrid issue. As Jay K. mention there has been a lot of genetic work done on this group (mottled ducks too), and not all is as it seems. I've not followed at the recent work, but I think they are starting to untangle their gentics. A...
I only keep tabs on one Facebook hunting group "Duck Hunters of Newfoundland". The administrator of the site declines any posts for expensive hunting gear which are almost always scams. Some scam posts can leak through and they are usually obvious and the admin does take them down when they are...
Thanks John.. I have in my mind that the 2-stroke performs better in the weeds, but I'm guessing it's just in my mind. We just need more water! I see that you have a much higher transom mount than I have. Might make a difference getting into shallower water.
Pulled the boat out today as I'm...
I have it grassed up now with flapper boards and I'm carrying 16 decoys and my dog. It makes quite a difference to performance, but it is acceptable. If I had to go a long distance I'd just tow it. I'm really wondering if there is a difference in performance of the 2 vs 4 stroke in the weeds...
Th Suzuki is fuel injected - This was the reason I selected it as it is supposed to sip fuel. The 9.9, 15 and 20 hp are all on the same block and I don't think there is any weight difference between the 2 and 4 stroke. The Suzuki is <=100 lbs. It be about 450 CAD to convert to 20 hp. I was...
No updates for a while. Boat was in the water, I've only hunted from it here on the opener. Water levels in the St. Lawrence River are very low and we are really limited where we can hunt. Parked it at our wharf a coulpe of weeks ago and there it sits ... high and dry. I hope to get it out...
I did not make the frame. A retired framer made and it sat in his building for 12 years ... the new owner need the space and sold it. I'm more of the Lego builder :-). The posts. beams and rafters are white pine, all the braces are black walnut and the King posts and tie beams are all cherry...
