Scott, That is a mighty fine display of Ducks In A Row. Made me smile.... Good Food. "Yum Yum Eatem Up." Best regards Vince

I've been aging all types of game for many years. As already stated gut shot no, that requires attention ASAP. I keep close tabs on the temp and the condition of the meat. The difference is remarkable between aged, and not aged. If you do not pay attention to what is going on during the process...

Now yer talking. That's my kinda game plan and many times pays off with great rewards. Your dog will love it also might find some other kind of birds also if In Season.

Small bodies of water can kick up and get ugly real fast more so than larger bodies of water in my experience. In such times I'd put on my life vest while in the boat. My late great gunning partner would laugh and say "What ya doing that for? So yer wife can ID yer body?" As he adjusted the...

Stan, I sent you a PM.

I have a pair of Wave Rider preening/sleeper Mallard decoys that are in my repaint. Purchased when they were first offered for sale. Wave Riders have a very distinct cork body shape well thought out and user friendly. They still have a favored place in my gunning rig. I've been through Valley...

When we cannot open the doors on our vehicles cuz the snow is deep then we Call The Plow Guy. Anything less than that is a "dusting" here in western NY. I've not touched a snow shovel or a lawn mower since the mid 1990's. My "snow brush" is a long handle broom. Much easier to push the snow off...

Rest In Peace JIMMY CLIFF. His music is on the box now making me smile...

Chip, That's a dandy buck right there. Congratulations. Tenderloin time YUM YUM. Our deer gun season began yesterday mabbee snow tomorrow. Fun Time is Here.... Best regards Vince

Tom, That is a Mighty Fine Gadwall drake Decoy. The carving & paint show cases the wood grain just right. A very good combination between the Life of the Wood and the Subject. The Decoy has classic style and will only get better with use. Two Thumbs Way UP. Best regards Vince

Jode, I enjoyed that very much. Thanks for posting it. Best regards Vince

If you don't mind I'd like to add another thing into the discussion. My wife has brought up the subject of "What will you Do if for some reason you can no longer hunt & fish? You don't do well cooped up indoors." A valid question and one she knows if it happens will not be good and will drive...

Retired from a job? Yes. Retried from waterfowl hunting and the lifestyle? No. I have cut back due to to these reasons. 1) Access is very poor in NY compared to my many years in PA. It was easy to waterfowl hunt the way I wanted to in PA either with gunning partners or solo. Plenty of...

Tod, I really enjoyed your post and the photos. Paradise comes at a price that balances things out, it's just pretty much the way things are. Your doing as much as possible as soon as possible cuz ya can. The first years of retirement are like that. The enjoyment of everyday living where your...

Many years ago when I was younger than his age, and in a similar situation I had a family member co-sign for me. The deal was I NEVER miss a payment or my A$$ was grass and he was the lawnmower. It worked out just fine and no problems. If not, a loan would have cost me a arm and a leg from...
