    Cold water tail...

    Obviously this thread has taken to a lighter side, but on an even quirky side line - I bet even if you cut the tail off, they would still get the syptoms, you just wouldn't see it as readily. It is my understanding that cold tail is caused by over exhaustion of the muscles in the base of the...

    melonseed NDR

    Like Ryan said, without a compatible reader installed in your computer, you will not be able to access the pictures. There are still options though, you could take it to the local library, or to a friends house and read the disc there. OR if you feel like getting to know your computer better...

    stoeger shotgun

    I also have one and have thousands of rounds through it, guess I never really counted. But two years of duck and goose hunting and two summers of sporting clays. Never had a misfire and never had a jam. I love it. I also know two other guys who have had enough problems that Stoeger took the...

    Suppose one of your best honey holes had

    Boy, I guess I am in the minority here. Personally, I would approach all other avenues first. And I certainly agree that two wrongs don't make a right. Draining it would for sure be against the law, but does that mean that it for sure is wrong. I bet everybody on here broke the speed limit...

    Suppose one of your best honey holes had

    Yup PS Its funny how quick people forget, and next year or the year after a little sweat you could hypothetically plug up again.

    Flyway Highway

    Dave, this is not to ruffle your feathers, just pointing out that your post made a couple weeks ago HERE, referenced the main sponsor for Flyway Highway. Like I said, not trying to pi@@ you off, just making sure you were aware.

    Seaducks in North AL?

    To top it all off he doesn't even know what they are! Pasted from Refuge- "sorry nomenclature confusion they where surf scoters but there are black scoters. all 3 were hens."

    UNBEEEELIEVABLE

    Season for me had its moments, good and bad. But its always fun to hang out with guys. All water here is locked up unless it is FAST current or Lake Superior. Last week I was in Southern WI and had 1 good hunt, but dang was it cold. Pictures forthcoming, and planning for next year, maybe...

    THANKS

    I believe you are talking about the cavitation plate on an outboard and its position relative to the bottom of the boat?? If so the cavitation plate usually should be somewhere from 1" below to level with the bottom of the boat I think. But I'm sure that somebody will chime in here soon...

    the price of waterfowling, or how to re-arrange your bones in three easy steps

    Shoot, with all the activities you did between the incident and surgery, I bet you were wondering "Why bother?" Just kidding, bet that hurt. Good luck and get well.

    One-man boat weight

    I am surprised that no one has mentioned a Carstens. I have a Pintail, which is pretty big, 13'4" long 38" wide I think and I drag that thing all over. Its empty weight is 90 lbs. and I just make two trips. There is one small rice lake I hunt, with a 250 yd portage. I carry the boat in, then...

    I shot myself a banded bird....

    Great Story Mark, Glad to hear you had a good hunt. I am not giving up just yet, even though the northern zone is closed. I might still get out in MN, and over thanksgiving plan to hunt southern WI, might even scurry over too Pool 9. The season for me started out with a major bang, ducks...

    Evening hunt?

    I hunt about the same amount of evenings as mornings. I like mornings better, but the evenings are easier after work and all. Also, an evening spot doesn't neccesarily mean roost. I have seen thousands of mallards pour into corn fields just before dark, while we pick up decoys.

    Seeking goose recipes...

    Just about all my goose meat gets smoked into jerky. It is the best way that I have had it. Just buy High Mountain seasoning, read the directions and then smoke it to taste. (I smoke at 170 degrees for about 1.5 hours) I have roasted them with some success, but the jerky is just awesome.

    Home Made Push Pole

    I bought a 14' closet rod from Home Depot for about $10, threw a duckbill on the end of it and it has served me well for 8 years. One year I sanded it since it was getting dinged up from being thrown around in the boat. But it works great, has lasted for a long time, it was cheap, and took...
