We see the brant do the same in NW Washington State. Eating the sea lettuce and eel grass that is present.

Lots of changes in Washington State. Much of the state public hunting land near the water ways is being converted over to salmon restoration projects. It has ruined what has been historically great waterfowl hunting locations. The State used to plant the areas with crops, millet, wheat, corn...

I ran the Cabelas breathable waders for 8 years. I was getting a new pair yearly as I would develop many leaks in them. I usually would just take them back and after considerable conversation, I would walk out with a new pair. I started buying various sale priced neoprene ones on Amazon...

Great question. I see this question asked frequently on forums. You gauge the decoy spread according to the location, type of hunting scenario, feed, size of the water or field your hunting, capacity to get decoys to X spot, etc. Some smaller pocket water I will run as small of a group as 6...

They look good. We did the same last week. We just have to wait for the rains now, which we have a 10 day forecast of stormy weather. Lots of birds have moved into the area, so when our spot starts to flood, it should be good shooting.

I just got off the phone with my buddy from Sarasota. He had to leave his place on the water and his boat is still in the marina. He received his new boat in April, so we will see what happens. He just sent me a picture of the bay and it was almost dry looking. The storm sucked all the water...

Not very generous with the mallards in Vermont. We can shoot 7 a day for 107 days in Washington State. Only which two can be hens.

I would like to see some transparency on it. You know when politicians find large pools of money, they figure out ways to ear mark it or ways to funnel money out of it in all sorts of ways. I just wish I could trust that the money was truly going to where it was supposed to go. I wouldn?t be...

In Washington State our hunting and fishing fee's go into the state general fund and they reallocate funds for the WDFW. It's a complete racket and why all the money brought in by hunting and fishing isn't used exclusively for hunting & fishing enhancement is unfortunate. The state brought in...

I was in Wal Mart last night and they had a shelf full of 2-3/4" #2 & #4 steel shot. I only shoot 3" or 3-1/2" typically, so I didn't pick any up. I would look around again as many stores just started to get shotgun shells this past week. It seemed the ammo manufactures were shipping them to...

Wealth of experience in the field. I have lots of fond memories of bringing my boys up in waterfowl hunting. I started taking them at age 2 out in the field and I wasn't shy on taking pictures. I had the opportunity to travel up and down the western US with them and some excellent hunts...

Without knowing any history on the client, it can be a difficult one to pick from. Is the gift going to be a shooter and used or a office decoration piece. I ask, as I see some really fancy guns on display in peoples homes that don't get used. I always have clients shoulder the shotgun and...

I did it for 3 years in a row and then I started get them every year it seemed. I finally stopped sending them in. It became to much work as I was spending close to 100 days afield.

Looks good. Is that a convert chest freezer? Are you using a thermostate to drop the temp to specified temp while you dry or age the sausage?

I looked on CL for free material and was able to get enough wood scraps to build several boxes. You can also cruise through any manufacturing facilities, many times they have packaging crate material that may also work. They may give it to you if asked vs. placing in dumpsters.

Paul Sullivan from Washington State? He has entered the retirement kind of stage. He may have a different handle, but just haven't seen to much activity from him this year on the internet.

I shoot the BT-99. I have purchased the Briley Chokes for it. Usually shoot an IM and F from the 27yard line. My son took 1st place at districts with his BT-99. A great gun for shooting singles. If you stretch your spend some, you can get into some good O/U trap shotguns. This will give...

Great info.

Just remember if you install the teflon or plastic on the bunks, keep the strap and chain connected until in the water. If you unattach it at the top of the ramp, your boat will either stick when it hit the ramp or go sliding all the way down to the water. The ramp/ road rash will be harsh on...

I have teflon on my bunks vs. carpet. Slides off super easy and no sticking.
