As someone who has trained dogs professionally and also has 2 older dogs( 13yrs 4months) and (12 years 10 months) I have some experience with this problem. My male is pretty stone deaf and my female can still hear but has a hard time pin pointing sound direction any longer. First, I doubt you...

I do something similar but in fast grass and 2 pieces. I like the raffia. One big piece covers the entire boat and then another to lay over me in the cockpit. Here are some pics maybe this will help dave b

I've used US composites on about 15 boats. 1 glass over wood the others all straight glass, kevlar or carbon fiber. Have never had any problems. good product , good price and good customer service. good luck with the boat. dave b

I've used mossbergs all my life . Very few problems. I use the 835 as my main line gun and keep the 835 for people who have problems with their guns. Mossbergs are one of the best patterning guns right out of the box. That is because the barrell is a bit over bored. Some folks complain that the...

awesome as always Todd. As someone with 2 old dogs, 13yr 3 months and 12 yr 9 months the words especially hit home. They still act like pups when the guns come out. Always enjoy your words and pics. You should put together a book. Give Alex a hug. Dave B

Hey guys, I could use a little expert opinion on the fair price for 2 small outboards. Still trying to pay down some vet bills so I am having a "sports yard sale " this weekend. I came across these 2 motors in the shed. Not even sure where or when I got them. Both are evinrudes. One says...

2 other very important points to mention on the build. 1. Be aware of your angles. Glass does not like square corners so if you can round them or angle them it will make laying it up easier. 2. Make sure your angles are appropriate to be able to pop off the shell. Here is an example of what I...

Dave , I'm probably the guy you talked to before . If you need to talk again just PM me and I'll send you my number. I agree with all that has been said on here. There are pros and cons to both poly and epoxy. I prefer epoxy myself but that is mainly because of the smell/fumes of poly. Epoxy...

Hey Brandon, It has been a few years but I did exactly what you did, freelanced Arkansas. I went mainly for the timber hunting as it is something that is uncommon here. DId a lot of research and ended up hunting black swamp and donaldson . I went down with a canoe and stuck to walk in areas...

Steve , Here are the photos I promised of the metal oar locks I use. This is the frame that attaches to the boat deck that I attach the fold down locks to Here is a pic of just the oar lock mount that attaches to the frame in the previous pic Here is the oar lock folded...

No problem Steve. I'll contact Eric D since he offered to take the pics and if he can't I think Andrew has one. Will see what works for them and maybe get them up by the weekend. later, baumy

Joe, Are you looking to stay with the traditional look of wood or are you interested in metal? I had my brother weld up a small frame that I then attached store bought oar locks to. This frame lays flat when not in use but when in use gets locked in the upright position with clevis pins. I...

Dave, I have done this with good results. I used epoxy from US Composites. I used an old nesco cooker as a warm water bath to put the jugs in. As mentioned, do not make very big batches as it will cook off in your container once mixed much faster than normal. good luck, baumy

From what I understand the WW plans are the old Paul Busick plans. I heard that WW bought the rights to Paul's plans and boat. I think there "Erie" bought is the old Busick. I've never used Paul's plans but remember folks saying they were good. I did use marshmonster's plans and there were...

I never got to meet Lee in person but always read his posts. A true water fowler. He will definately be missed. Prayers sent for him and his family. Dave B

Look around on ebay, craigslist and in the papers. I have bought several trailers for $200-$400. I have found the best prices are actually on trailers that had junk boats on them. Folks are just trying to get rid of the boats. I've either sold the boats cheap or in one case offered it for free...

Teary eyed here as well. There is never enough we can do for these guys, gals and their families. I try to ship out care packages 2X a month. thanks for the read baumy

Depending on exactly what you are looking for I'm not sure you need a pointing lab, you may be able to get by with just a well trained lab or other retriever. I hunt goldens. My dogs are whistle trained. I don't believe in running after dogs with a loaded gun. So, when my dogs get on birds, if...

At 2 1/2 years old I would not worry about a loss of desire. Dogs are basically thru their physical maturation at 2 y/o which of course testosterone has an effect on. Since he is past that I would not expect to see a drop. I had 3 golden males. First was a MH , National Master Hunter, First...

TO his credit,the man who complained apologized in the paper after reading the explanation. He was not aware of the AF tradition of the flyby , and in fact had served in the Navy in Vietnam. Dave B
