Hi Sarg, I know of a spot out on the Cape that is great for pictures. The eiders come in real close and sometimes in flight if you get there early in the morning. Other nice part is that you can do it from the car. Send me a pm if you want the details.

Nice job Rich. Our season closes on Saturday and all my spots have been iced since the start of the special season and I will be out of business till September. I guess the winter has been pretty tough since that bird pushed pretty far south for a resident goose. All my resident goose bands are...

No advice on Berreta's here since I have never owned or shot one. I have four Remington 1187 and I have not had an issue with their function and in fact my oldest is my dedicated waterfowl gun and has been in use since 1990. Only replaced a charge bar and O rings with O ring failure due to my my...

Nice job and wish the shovelors would stop be my way. One puddle I am yet to take in New England. The black's speculum looks normal to me and wouldn't pass muster as an other duck here. Seeing the brant in the bluebills brings back memories of six bird limits on scaup with big spreads of 100s of...

I love the decoy ad. Hand painted plastic, I gotta get me some and throw these dam bulky wood mason and wildfowler decoys in the woodstove. If only I could go back in time as I was born 50-100 yrs to late.

Ask yourself what Washington (George) would think if he came back today for a day? My thought is that he would think we were re-invaded by another country with the same principals and foundations we fought to escape. Thinks about it; we have a ruling class of politicians that you will never be a...

Thanks Craig for the fix and making wish I had taken more pictures this year. Congratulations on a sucessful season.

I have observed this once with a friend and his Benelli. When he attempted to unload the bolt would not open, finally he decided to discharge the gun and what we found was the brass was crimped and creating an obstruction in the chamber. Brass seems to be getting thinner than the good old days...

Thanks for the heads up, still waiting for my copy to arrive. Sounds like a good read to pass the cabin fever.

The divers will not be as fusy as the puddle ducks about the lower profile. For the puddle ducks I would try making a curtain from plastic 4' snow fence. Zip tie the native tall weeds to it and cut to length to create a curtain around boat. Then bring some rebar and drive it into the bottom of...

Wish we had shovelors up here. I see one or two most years but always in an area that is not huntable. About five years ago I spoted a flock of about 10 out in the middle of the ocean with no marsh in sight. That is a nice drake shovelor and thanks for sharing the memories. Hope they send the...

When I think of Montana this time of the year I picture snow and lots of it. Looks fairly nice in the picture. Way to go on the red fox, I grew up with them everywhere and about 15 to 20 years ago the disappeared with the increase in coyotes. Get a badger and be sure and post the pictures. We...

Thanks for sharing I enjoyed the transformation of such an important craft. I really like the picture of your father on the ice with the same boat. Is that sea ice or fresh water? I have never been brave enough to cross large stretches of sea ice on foot. But we have some houses that were...

I have not doubts about turkey and black vultures ability to smell being very acute. I have a large roost next door and they will hang out in my yard when I do not bury the entrails and other unedible portions of game in the compost pile. My pile is not the average homeowner pile and any to be...

Thanks Steve, Ian and John, Honest answers and for Steve letting me know my concerns about a gun to nice for the marsh are shared by others. Trying to find a shop within a few hours of my house that has either to hold and that is what is making it even tougher. I refuse to buy a shotgun...

OK, while on the subject with another post about side by sides, I have been tossing the idea about getting one and really hate to spend a bunch of money on an idea I am not entirely committed to-never shot a side by side in all my years. Also I hate to spend big money on a gun that gets as wet...

Hope you take some pictures and fill us in on the show.

Hi Rich, Atlantic White Cedar does not last long in mills around here as local boat builders are quick to get their hands on it. One mill in Tiverton, RI handles white cedar from time to time and usually winter is when I see it in the yard. I will see if I can get the phone number for you in...

Certain streams are loaded with cedars that are blown down across the channel that I use to float and are no longer passable. I keep meaning to go up and clear them out and pick up some blocks for future carving stock. If you are up this way with saw and canoe I could certainly point you into a...

Now that the season is over and not much to do I am getting around to sorting through my pictures and figured some might enjoy seeing some duck boat and marsh scenery now that the season is over for most. For those that followed my posts on the accidents in Massachusetts this hunt is within a...
