Get down there the last weekend of July (I think it's the weekend of the 27th). In Marengo (just north of Columbus), they're holding a waterfowler's get together called the Waterfowler Bootcamp. It'd be a good way to meet and greet the local waterfowling establishment.

Chris is on the right track. Look at the lower wheel and tire for any slippage. If it's a multi speed saw, there should be a v-belt in the drive somewhere that might be slipping. It could be set up for the wrong speed too.

What kind of wood is it? Oooops! Reread and it's cedar. Has it been working OK before this? How is it with thinner pieces of cedar?

Sporting Clays Magazine has a roster of NSCA instructors on their website. Here's what I got for Wisconsin. I went with an instructor here in AL and I think it did me a world of good. Don't know if any of the instructors is near you or not, but it gives city/phone #. BERT BAUMGARTNER...

I tend to think that buying a call is like buying a suit. You have to try it on and make sure it's right for you. Some guy on here might love the Reelfoot style calls, but he might have the lungs of a Tenor and you just might not be able to put enough air into it to get your 'right' sound. Go...

I agree with Tom. Leave the collar on the pup and switch to a long line (25'i or so). Let pup go out to fetch and if she doesn't, reel her in a little and repeat the 'here' or 'come' command. By doing that, pup will get the idea that you want her to bring it to you. With the collar, pup...

I recently was given a position back in Huntsville and will be moving home soon. The date of my job change will be right at 5 years since I left home because of being layed off. My last day here in FL will be, coincidentally, my 30th service anniversary with my company. Man, I can't wait to get...

If Rick and I can get it together this summer, would you be up for a long carving weekend? Perhaps over a summer 3 day weekend?

Hey David. No need to inconvenience you. My wife's only a couple of hours south of you in Huntsville. I'd rather she drive up than put you out. You have my appreciation for the offer, though.

I need to ask a huge favor from somebody who's within an hour or so of Louisville. If you're from the area &you can do me a huge favor, please let me know.

Two decoy shops come to mind. Both deal in collectibles and pretty much look like museums. One's in Easton and the other is in Cambridge. I know that the one in Easton opened as a result of a falling out between owners. Don't know if either are still open. A quick perusal of the internet...

Well, it looks like Isaac may become a hurricane and, possibly, pay a visit to the area where I'm now living (north of Destin, FL). Questions is this. I'm about 25 miles inland. What do I need to do to prepare my house for winds, etc.? I have hurricane panels being made, but they won't get...

The way I see it, the worst drought in 50 years is going to hit the duck population hard. Little water AND little food along the migration routes will be a double whammy. Fewer and weaker birds returning to the nesting areas next spring will mean less and smaller broods. I'd expect that this...

Well, we're 7 weeks into closing on our house (that was originally set up to be a 6 week closing). Bank of America absolutely screwed the pooch on this one. I finally declared the deal broken and we're self funding because we're running out of time and risking losing the house. It'll cost me...

Thanks everyone. We found a service to scrub walls, counters & floor . My wife and I will pull up the carpeting in the LR & foyer & replace it with laminate flooring. We'll have a service clean the BR carpeting for now, but, eventually, we'll replace it, too.

We just put a contract on a home in Crestview, FL. About 20 miles form the Gulf. And, of course, it's not without problems. The previous homeowners were smokers and did so indoors. Coat of tar/nicotine on everything. We're planning on scrubbing the walls/floors/counters/appliances with some...

Blowout preventers and manifolds? Isn't that like sleeping in your enemy's den? Check out some of the gulf coast hunting spots. They're supposed to be ctazy fir divers. But ain't that a bit of a hike from Paducah and Un?

Dude. Katy and Brookshire are adjacent to Houston. Used to be the best Grand Prairie Snow Goose hunting around. Think the city's encroaching somewhat, but I'll bet you can still get a great hunt in. What opportunity? You moving AGAIN?

So I find myself up here in Toms River with carving supplies and lumber in hand.......... Was going to do some Bluebills with a buddy (a newby who's interested) while we were both here for work to show him a little about how it'd done. He brought up a small bandsaw and we were going to cut...

You guys better jump at the chance. Mike's a heck of a guy and a dedicated sportsman. I just wished he lived closer to wherever I'm going to end up living. If you ever get south, there's always room for you in my boat.
