I do not turkey hunt but have sat and watched a couple buddies pattern/sight in their guns. Now these guys are super serious turkey hunters and have 20ga benelli M2s that are set up just for turkeys. Complete with red dot sights, lengthened forcing cones and choke tubes carefully matched to...

Eric this community is the epitome of quality over quantity

I may have been being slightly sarcastic 😁

I’ve never even seen a pintail in NJ 🤷‍♂️

I think the internet has definitely opened up the “secret” that NJ has possibly the best hunting on the east coast. Plenty of ducks and unparalleled freelance opportunities. Most people are trying to protect their state from “out of staters” but my personal feeling is the more out of staters...

Noah, I also hunt NJ and hunt from a duck boss 15. Previously I had a duck boss 13. No doubt the 13 hides better than the 15 and if I only hunted by myself or one other person the 13 would still be in my driveway. However I like to hunt with both my brother and my dad and that means I needed a...

I know what you’re probably thinking “great another post crying about the damage social media is doing to hunting”. I’d think the same thing but we’d have all been incorrect. After being a member of this site we should all know that there is the possibility of the internet having a positive...

Pat, Glad to see you back here. Just listened to your discussion about diver hunting with Ramsey Russel on “Duck Season Somewhere”. I enjoyed it quite a bit

My old man has been wearing the walkers game ears ear muffs for a couple years and been happy with them. Not sure if they make a youth size or not

White on the leading edge of the speculum is a more accurate predictor of hybridization than the trailing edge of the speculum. And hybrids will absolutely breed with pure bred ducks however it would seem that they are more likely to breed with mallards (which are nearly all descendants of game...

And black ducks speculum is often varied. Some white on the trailing edge and some speckles of green in the head are both just natural occurrences in some full bred black ducks. It’s not always a hybrid when you see those two characteristics

So black ducks of course are something we get to study often and throughout the season. They are one that I assume age plays a huge role in their appearance. The bigger they are (especially in drakes) I’ve noticed they are darker with a puffier head and more grey/silver on the back. The smaller...

I’ll have to do some digging but I shot one with a white neck ring 2 years ago in Jersey. I think it’s just one of those things that certain birds are a little odd. I nerd out on ducks and spend a good bit of time studying birds after I shoot them. They tend to be more unique than we give them...

I had the heat only peet dryer for about a month and realized it was a waste of space and money. I bought the one with air circulation and bought 2 sets of extensions. What a huge improvement. It also has 4 drying ports so I can do my waders on one side and gloves on the other
