Thanks for the kind offer, Kevin. I think I'll pass for now. I appreciate the thought. Nate

Folks, I'm looking at getting a couple of float coats for mid- and late season sea ducking next year. The Mustang brand seems to be the most popular, but I can't seem to find a bomber style coat in camo. Are there any other brands out there that you've seen or tried that you like? Safety is the...

Pretty cool! Hank and Holly raised over $90K for the book. This means they will be able to print more copies and do a bit more PR and traveling to promote the book next year. Like I said above, if Hank and Holly come to a city or town near you to do a book signing/dinner...take the time to...

Where I grew up in Gloucester, there are a lot of very deep quarries that are mostly filled with water. Jumping from the side of the quarry into the water was a great summer pastime. Some of the cliffs were 50+ feet over the water. One of the older kids was coaching us younger kids about jumping...

Thanks guys for the positive response. I don't think Hank has an official list of 2016 book tour dates, but I assume it will be the same as other years. He will probably stop in at Craigie on Main again here in Boston as well as a bunch of New England cities/towns. I'll ask him and see what he...

Gents, Thanks for the very helpful information. It was hard finding good info. online. I appreciate your help. Best, Nate

Hey folks, You may remember Hank Shaw from a few years back. The duckboats.net gang was really instrumental in helping Hank's blog honestfood.net get some press/publicity. Hank has written two great books on wild foraging and wild game cookery. His last book, Duck, Duck, Goose is really...

Any Franchi owners out there? I bought a Franchi 48 AL 20 gauge this past spring and put a case of ammo through it over the summer. Love the gun for clays and upland hunting. While up in Maine the past two days chasing timberdoodles, I noticed that I cannot unload shells from the magazine tube...

The Elmer Crowell museum in Harwich, MA is now open. http://www.capecod.com/events/harwich-celebrates-reconstructed-elmer-crowell-barn-2015-06-25/ There is a cool glass making museum in Sandwich, MA too. http://www.sandwichglassmuseum.org/ The Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA does not have...

I'll add one other tip. If you are melting lead and then pouring it into a mold, you'll want to heat the mold up too. Heating it up and getting it white hot will help the lead flow into the mold better. Pouring molten lead into a cold mold is a total PIA. Nate

I'll put in another plug for a 12 or 14 ft. SportsPal canoe. They are light, durable, virtually usinkable, and you can load them up with a ton of stuff. I can drag, carry, or roll my 14 footer no problem. With a canoe cart and some mountain bike tires, you can pull that thing just about...

That's it......I QUIT!! What......bro? Nate

Hey Tom, Do you have any nice Model 12s at KTP right now? Been looking for one for upland for a while....in 16 or 20. Nice to see you on the board. Best, Nate G.

Pat, you may be right. He's a jack-of-all-trades kind of a guy! Nate

I have no idea what these two were plotting....

Were you the lucky winner of that turkey, Kevin? Nate

Some photos from the ODCCA show. I did not record names or ribbon placements. I just took photos. Enjoy! If you are on Facebook, I posted a bunch more photos to the DecoyNutz group. Nate

Dave - I'll be wearing either a well-weathered Red Sox hat and/or a Cape Pond Ice shirt. I don't have a noticeable New England accent as my mum was a school teacher and she would kick my ass if I ever dropped an "R." This will be my first time there. Looking forward to it. I just hope OH...

Dave is a good guy, and a funny guy. I am looking forward to seeing him in Ohio next month. Nate Grace

I'll second the chaps. I've walked through bull briar with my heavy chaps and never felt a thing. I probably would not do the same with even the best upland pants. Filson makes nice stuff, but you find cheaper and just as good chaps elsewhere. Nate
