    Anybody make breakfast sausage??

    Way to go on the grass fed pork! Tried some last spring after swearing off pork two decades ago. Been a weekly staple in my diet ended up buying a whole pig a few weeks ago. Have not made my own sausage yet but the butcher made was like non other. Actually find the grass fed pork to be better...

    corn field pit blind advice

    Know your winter watertable. Plastic and fiberglass will float. Also, wood can collapse from the wet soil. Ideally, you wan to find a well drained part of the field to place the blind. Dig a hole in a wet spring and look for water. You may need to wait hours for visible water to weep if digging...

    Lessers, Greaters and Gadwalls

    Send some up north. I am not going to average four birds for the entire season. Whole estuaries devoid of ducks that should hold hundreds and in some years thousands. We had more ducks here in August than now.

    Removing Motor from Transom for Hunting

    Guess my concerns would be as follows: - Water freezing in the motor if trapped because it was positioned such that it could not drain. - Carburetor issues from fuel line connection. Could some marsh mud make its way onto the prongs you could end up with problems on the water. Maybe some...

    Banded Birds

    Hi Worth, I shot a banded black duck back in 2003 with a reward band to accompany the typical AVISE band. It had a 2006 expiration etched into the band. Called in both bands to same number and got a check in mail a few weeks latter for $100.

    Today's Sign of the Apocalypse

    Still have giant house flies in Southern New England and found a frog yesterday on lawn and a salamander crossing the road a week back. Great for the heating bill!

    Ruger M77 Price Drop

    Ruger M77 in .22-250 with rings and scope. Scope is a 6-24 Power Tasco and while it is a Tasco it caused many woodchucks to pass at long distances. Selling gun because the coyotes ate all the woodchucks and no use for the gun. Bought around 1991 and used only in the summer on dry days. Gun is in...

    F a duck

    I concur on the humor on this art work. As long as it is legitimate art displayed in a museum, I see not reason to pull it. Just think what the creator would think of the old cruddy blocks of wood that were shot at a hundred years ago that are now deemed as folk art. All in the eye of the...

    .22 ammo-NDR

    Have not seen much around in Southern New England in years. Can find overpriced fifty packs but no bulk packs of 500. I imagine they will be even harder to find with all the issues in the news and the political chatter about gun control.

    Black Duck Decoy Setup Question

    I hunt a combination of oversized and regular together. I do not place them in any particular order in regards to size. With black ducks on the coast I worry more about timing and concealment. Regardless of that being offered, this year has been the slowest season that I have hunted. I have...

    Thoughts on this one

    If they go long enough they will not resemble a hen externally at all. Additionally, once the transition starts the unknowing of the sex will always say thats a drake. I have seen this first hand in pheasants, wood ducks, mandarin ducks, mergansers and ruddy ducks. All in captivity and a few...

    Bill color will change with hormone levels, so do not let the drake bill deceive you that it is a male.

    Thoughts on this one

    Not necessarily a cross. Could very well be an older hen. Female birds in species that exhibit sexual dimorphism will attain drake coloration as they get older. It starts very subtle and eventually the a female can outright resemble a male if they live long enough. Even more interesting is that...

    Suggestions for Personal Flotation Devices

    I wanted to start cheap with the float coat to see how I liked it. Went with a Sterns and love it. I wear it at all times except when the boat is tucked away in a ditch and shooting. I shoot shallow tidal flats with depths up to three feet at high tide so I exercise some risk assessment and...

    Morning Woes

    Funny you say that because I have had a few days when I can honestly say otherwise. One such day happened on big water. I arrived for an afternoon bluebill hunt to find someone set up in my favorite spot and that never happened. Forced us out into bay with a steady 20-25 knot wind and white...

    How would you fix this?

    I like the the screwing the two ends together and finishing up with Gorilla Glue.
