    Scratch Another Off The List

    Eric: That is indeed beautiful. Here in upstate New York we had a state WMA which was flooded in the early 70s, about 7k acres, and provided waterfowl hunting that can only be compared to the 19th century. Was excellent for more than 20 years, but after the standing timber fell and the...

    Don Thomas has been fired by DU

    Still challenged by this technology. Had meant this to go to Pete on a PM. But having said that, that I welcome any responses or alternative views.

    Don Thomas has been fired by DU

    Pete: I am a little late on the draw. But I, too, was appalled by DU's actions with respect to Dr. Thomas. So I got around to sending this e-mail, and I got this response which is somewhat disingenuous to say the least. I tried to impress upon them that their actions have significant...

    Hybrid Waders??

    Carl: I have not used the Hybrids; I have been using the Cabela's breathable waist highs. Got them on sale for the same price. Not sure the name. The fit is not great, big around the waist. (I am used to waist-high fishing waders where the fit is usually very good.) The are first and most...

    Prices posted in classifieds ?

    I agree. If it is of any value to sellers, I will not go to Craig's lists or other sites to view the object or price. Tried that a couple of times, and often Craig's list does not show the object or price. So this site provides a gratis and open place to look at sale items amongst...

    where's the ducks !

    Not really complaining here-only reporting. East of Albany, New York, seeing low numbers. Plenty of geese, but not much weather to move them. Of the 20 odd days of the duck season, we have had hard hunting with lots of time put in--marginal results but good times--and with one great day...

    Don Thomas has been fired by DU

    Peter: Is this the E. Donnall Thomas, Jr. that writes the back page for the Mag, and writes for Retriever Journal? If so, wtf were these guys thinking? Is their a contact point, other than an e-mail tree that we can express of views? Like a direct e-mail to the present CEO of DU...

    No modern guns here....

    Speaking on behalf of the straight stocked AH Fox, when I googled the serial number just now, it appears to have been made in 1928.

    OT--Less allergenic dogs?

    Jeff: An option might be a kennel dog. Sounds like any dog in the house is a problem. I kept dogs in a kennel when my kids were young, and I was able to have good relationships with them, and train them. Hunting dogs in the house, even a lab was more than my wife could cope with, and she...

    monthly highlights

    Chris: Thanks so much. Loved the recounting. Great you had a decent opener and closer. Are blackfish, Tautog, the best eating fish in the sea? Used to think so. I did not spear them, bought them off the draggers in Port Jeff when then were considered just above trash fish. Thanks again.

    getting ready for Lacrosse

    Dave: Ginger just might be a lap dog, and your rig is the best grassed boat I have seen since leaving eastern Long Island. Really nicely done. Oh, still can't post photos, but getting a new box soon.

    Like B.B. said: "The thrill is gone....."

    Amen and agreed. Dead grass. Our predecessors killed many, many ducks and geese without looking like sere, withered salad.
