It seems to be a canoe with a small fore and aft deck added to it. Nothing more and nothing less.

It's now a Benelli SBE II with Patternmaster choke. Replace an 835 Mossburg that is now fitted with a rifle bore for sabots. I have been impressed with how this gun handles since day one. For pheas, quail, grouse, I have 12ga 2.75" chamber choices from Spanish made ZH SxS, Laurona O/U, and a...

That's just great humor!!! I had good results with the Prairie du'Chein outlet, but the same thing about not stocking what I wanted and that was the decoys that I wanted weren't carried in stock. So, just this year I replaced the substitutes that I bought there. I did get good service...

In my Navy days I was taught to take off my dungarees, tie knots in the legs, then fill the wetted pant legs with airto use them as a floatation device. How to fill them with air is a difficult process to explain but it is something like repeatedly trapping air in them. So, why does this...

I will agree to most that is said here and also disagree with some. The difference is what you will find in different breeding lines or even different personality of the individual dogs. I have found that my German Wirehair Pointer isn't stubborn - but is very determined and more than his 52...

There were always some local phenomena around the Dakotas. In SD if we had plates from the wrong county or be from east river versus west river they could look at you "wrongly". In ND it seems that there were some offended by the large number of parties from "MN". There are new regs for...

Very nice of ya'll. Katie (4years old) very much wanted to go bird hunting today. We'll get out soon... Her guess is 444. Shannon, (13 years old) will get out when the bugs leave - can't blamer her for that. Her guess is 16. Cheers!

Mmmm redfish. Nice place. I can't help but relate to the casino's that were built on barges and tied on the gulf shore off of Biloxi when I was stationed at Keesler AFB. Never heard what happened with them during Katrina. So, this thing is permanantly moored and self sustaining right...

Yeah, there flying rats around the golf courses. I worked at a golf course in iowa and the geese there were a paing. Crap all over. One year the DNR moved the geese, but usually they settle in and begin breeding and molting. We tried to harass them as much as we could before they nested just...

First off, I have to divuldge that I have yet to hunt Ohio myself. This is my first fall here. It does seem that locations are limited or just controlled more compared with from Wisconsin. I am interested to know what you learn of as far as opportunity goes but I keep seeing the same places...

Are you taking reservations?

Ed, Devil's lake has some trout and most reports year round are that it' tough fishing there. There is more fishing going on at Lake Wisconsin through the summer - walleyes, etc. I'm not sure that the circus world museum isn't still having some money problems - you might check to see if...

Thanks for the info. I just moved to Ohio about an hour and a half north of Marengo - from Wisconsin. This will be a good break from all of the unpacking... Are the kids tickets 25$ too? Keir

Sorry to hear about that Joe. I passed a couple of them some time back. Then I felt the scar/track that they made down the urinary track for another 3 years.

Reloading is in getting the recipe that works for you. That is, hull, primer, powder, wad, shot. The rest is in how the machine performs in resizing, priming, dropping powder, wad and shot then crimping. Progressive reloaders perform steps on several shells at each pull of the lever. I'm...

Plans in hand to build a Black Brant III. Just need to get a new job before I let myself start in on building it so I can move on....

If I take this job offer and move to Huntington Beach California, will I still find some duck hunting somewhere nearby? How about Quail? I'm really interested to know and so is my new pup. I've spent most of my time in the areas of NE, SD, IA, WI, so the SoCal area is really unknown to me...

That 27 degrees would be a heat wave for us cheese heads this week. I guess you didn't get any shooting in because that always seems to warm me up 20 degrees more. There should be plenty of birds pushed south to you since we've all got hard water up here. We're talking ice fishing now...

I use a 2/3 mallard to 1/3 black duck mix. The influence for me had been that the Black duck profile stands out more to the higher flying ducks and that duck on the water were seen as black profiles against the water to wildlife officials doing bird counts. So, I'm trying to make my fairly...
