    Hunting Land Access

    Well we have just lost another prime goose hunting field here in Girard Pa., with Erie County cancelling the farmers lease, to build another "shovel ready" industrial park of 240 acres. This field has been a go to field for over 40 year and I have hunted it with success more times than I can...

    Kansas - Another Domino About To Fall In the Push to Reduce Non-Residents in Favor of Residents

    I guess it's a good thing I live in NW Penna.. There are not tons of people from out of state wanting to hunt in Pa.. Gee I wonder why?

    How things have changed

    I have a spot that's a death march to and from. As you get closer to the water the grasses are 6 foot tall or better and there is no path of any kind except for the one you make. After hunting one day last year, it was cold and snowy, as I was walking out ( if you can call it that) I fell and...

    Upland adventure help please

    I don't believe that they are too friendly to non-French speaking people in Quebec. They don't really even consider themselves to be a part of Canada from what I have been told. My son and his girlfriend went there a couple of years ago and said although Quebec was nice, the people were rude and...

    Hunting Land Access

    Duck hunting here in NW Pa. was never spectacular, but things have changed and not for the better. The first thing is that farmers now harvest corn completely different from how they did it 10 years ago. Every field is now chopped about 6" off the ground and there isn't a scrap of waste corn for...

    Tundra Swan Mount

    Guys we are starting to downsize and I've been getting rid of quite a bit if gear,but now it's time to see if I can find a new home for my Tundra Swan mount. It's hard to do but I can't envision the next setting where it could go so: 1 Tundra Swan adult bird, standing on a piece of driftwood...

    Sandhill decoys

    I too hope it improves. Our beloved Presque Isle is nothing like it once was. Good hunting is getting to be a thing of the past for us duck hunters....

    Sandhill decoys

    I live about 15 miles West of Erie in Girard Pa.. The Lake is right in my back yard practically. I have heard that there are Sand Hills here but have yet to see one. As you said Vince the PGC would never let us hunt them, and the fact is that they have had the availability to issue Swan Permits...

    Sandhill decoys

    Outlaws are gone but I would really like to see someone get these wind socks that can actually use them. Here in Pennsylvania we don't get Cranes and even if we did the PGC would never allow us to hunt them so: 1 dozen Sandhill Crane Giant wind socks with custom painted heads that stand about 4...

    New price $275 coffin box sanford box(SOLD)

    Boat looks fantastic. That camo was from a company called Skyline, the pattern, which I though was the best pattern ever made, is called Fall Flight. Skyline was in Buffalo NY. I had, and still have a few pieces. The problem with their clothing was that it literally fell apart after wearing a...

    old duck guns

    Kind of crazy in my mind that we/you are not able to hunt with the 8 bore. Once seasons and bag limits were put in place what difference did it make as to the gauge of gun used. A bird killed with a 12 gauge isn't any different from a bird killed with an 8 gauge. Some great guns there.....

    Who Is In The Wrong?

    Todd 's post up above has the solution to the problem IMO. I don't know that they suggested that, but it might have defused the situation. Cooperation, not confrontation, is what keeps private property in play.
