Thank you Scott for posting this. It seems like we would have had a lower limit if the mangers had been able to know this data when they set the season. Its always a good day down here when we get to see a full plumage male in the waves. Bob

Troy great photos of the season. I haven't seen John B since he brought the boat down to Mystic for the Wooden Boat show. Those Sea Smoke days are always a blessing and a challenge. The camera just doesn't do the cold feeling in your hands and face justice on those days. Good to see mans...

Larry that ringer is a real nice bird to have as a reminder. And the coot is too. I treasure the few birds that I have from guys I met here. I had a number more that I used as donations to dinners or events that meant a lot to me. Seeing where they end up is almost even better. Ed, I...

That is very true Eric, your page is a bright spot especially when it comes to keeping the editing out of the corporate hand of the big social media pages. I do keep tabs on your instagram posts (ClayGrinders) but wont go near the FB. That place has some amazing tools for selling, but the BS...

Really nice blocks Nick. Glad they landed in the hands of someone who hunts. My dads cousins have a few individual birds hand carved. None live in hunting homes. They get admired on every visit. All the best with your new birds. Bob

My girls were looking for winter hats to go out sledding with, and this showed up..... somehow it got out of the waterfowl gear and survived way longer than it would have if it hadn't. Pretty sure this came from the show at Tuckerton when my son was about 4'10"....... and somewhere there is a...

Looks like a great first day Dave. I bought a Waterfowler right before I got married. Sold it to a friend when the kids started showing up. Bought it back when my son was old enough to use it. He has worn out the trigger inertia block twice using it so much. Its a family favorite. By...

Brad that Flats River Skiff is a very cool looking boat. Might open up your market for selling the project at the end. I have been in Dave Morton's Devlin which is shorter than the 18, but very capable. Always admired Eric's original build. I don't think you can go wrong. Very nice...

Worth, When I was shooting a lot more I looked to reloading after having some disappointment with factory steel loads. This was in the 90's. After some time reading Tom Rosters excellent work on lethality I settled on a 2 3/4" shell with 1 oz of steel shot using Alliant powder. Those RSI wad...

Wow, Scott those photos bring back some great memories. Hank always talks about good days sculling. It sure is great to see those photos again. I don't have them on my drive of old DBHP photos. That smile still stands out on your Oarsman in the first post. Hope you are having a good...

Joe, That photo brings back some really good memories of my sons first successful hunt. Enjoy every minute of it. They grow up fast. Bob

I told Dani I would do this quite a while back and I am a bit behind in collecting my thoughts. Like many here I never met Steve in person. But back in the beginning he really stood out. When I discovered this board I was a new husband and a soon to be father. Trying to explain to your...

Nicely Played Larry, one for the note book on how to handle a crowd. And a great start to your new grounds. Enjoy the season with the new boat. I hope it brings you many fine hunts. Bob

That boat will get to the grounds and get you home in some really good duck hunting weather. Dave has made a whole fleet of really capable duck boats over the years. Id like to see them all lined up for a photo. Still wish I had kept a BBSB he restored for Smith and I wound up owning for a...

It has been a long time since I have chose to hunt an opening day due to work, and overcrowding in the spots I like. And this year was shaping up to be no exception till the best Duck Hunter I know txt'd me and said do you want to go? I had no choice but to drop my plans for bow hunting deer...

Very nice write up Larry. Some days things work out even in spite of what our experience tells us should happen. Agree on the challenge of locating a shelf for the coffee....... maybe a floating coozie with a lanyard

Dani, Hank called me while I was hanging in a tree deer hunting. This news struck me to my core. I am still trying to process the event. And just how precious every day we wake up and can take in another day in the outdoors we love actually is. Hank and I both agreed that Steve was a...

Lary I am replying here for those that did not see it initially. The CT DEEP is in charge when there is a water fowling boat accident as far as I know. I have read Coast Guard Accident reports in the past on commercial marine accidents and I expect this incident report will be just as...

Todd, this was local to me as you know. Still no word on the names. Thinking of the families. Its a hard one. Have had a few calls and checked on a few friends myself. Even with the warmer air temps the water up here is still very cold. There is still ice in the brackish salt coves...

Just checking back in. When I posted this thread here there were no build posts on the Sanford Box. Only a link on the web to a written article posted from a group news letter. Unfortunately I picked photo bucket to host the photos for this and another post on the Brockway Skifs built in...
