Steve, very nice birds you have there, that burnt cork black is a pretty sweet gunner! Jode , as usual very nice! John

Thanks for the compliments Pat I really like the antique finish a lot,the bobtail for divers , They make a lot of sense to me for working decoys. John

Ok the PAL is required by Canadians to purchase a gun or ammunition, so I would believe you as a American citizen need a pal to buy ammunition,same as a Canadian citizen, now here comes the sticky part, I believe you could buy a gun in Canada but you must leave it here in Canada ( I stand to be...

Cork bobtail ,acrylic with antique wash, ( thanks Pat)

Interesting post ,i shoot quite a bit in the United States, I have to register my firearms that I want to bring into the U.S. With the ATF, every year. So I might suggest that you check with ATF & see what their take is on a American citizen bringing in a firearm purchased in Canada. Just my 2...

Thanks Vince , this gun club is on your side of the pond,in Locport , they do a great job with their youth program for shooting!

Finally got this ringer done for donation to our gun club , proceeds to the youth program.

Very nice ,may the bluebills come in with wings cupped! John

Yes thanks Pat it's a good read ,after reading a lot of studies , best I can see for breeding grounds 68 percent Boreal Forest, 25 PC Prairie parkland, 7per cent Tundra, one read which should make us waterfowlers feel good is that ( biologists feel that harvest of Scaup) is not detrimental to...

Awsome pics & hunt way to go!

Mr.Thomas , Thankyou for your input,yes I realize L.Point is around the corner from me , as the two biologists that I have talked too who were very informative had the ongoing conclusion of not having enough money to keep continuing studies, I realize Mr. Petrie is much respected in studying...

Thankyou Pat & the others in this video for your volunteer work banding , & research, one question I have is it known roughly what percentage of Scaup population breed in the Boreal region ? All the Best, John

Interesting thoughts on the gulls & cormorants ,maybe their is a biologist somewhere that could comment on this or better yet , what some of the recent findings on the Scaup population!

Hello Patrick, I respect your opinion , but I,m with Vince .P. In his post about huge flights , they were incredible to see .Patrick You are dead on about wild celery disappearing , it seems that pollution has taken its toll on our resources pity the next generation!

Well After reading all the posts so far it's quite apparent that we all have much in common of our love of duck hunting,Amen! I believe as we get older we realize the importance of restraint of say shooting hens,we don,t need to shoot a limit all the time, the importance of predator control to...

Nick That makes a whole lot of sense on population decline I guess I,m saying how do we help them recover? This will be a monumental task.

Interesting Carl , I certainly agree with some of what you have mentioned,habitat changes, drought,but migration patterns is very interesting because I can set my time table to the mid October if not earlier when the first flight of bluebills will show up here,regardless of how warm the...
