Nice work environment, Looks like you still have some snow on the ground. Those deer and turkey look like kids peeking through a candy store window.

I didn't want to hijack the thread about hunting in ND. So I started this one. Matt V. struck a cord with the comment of "guides locking out hunters." I agree with what he is saying, it seems tough for hunters to get started into hunting when all the land is locked up by leases. The options...

Very sad to hear this news.

She's a good looking pup, good luck with the sleeping on the floor. I found the hardest part was getting up off the floor. Jack seems to be looking for something.... something missing?

Thanks guys I google searched for but didn't search the forum... dooooh! Rich, I use to clam through college summer days, extra money for beer and dates. My buddy and I shared his garvey and would spend about 6 hrs a day scratch raking on the flats. I loved those days, hard work...

. A couple of years ago, I replaced my 2 stoke 9.9 with a 4 stroke 15 and felt the boat was sluggish. I thought it was the extra weight (on both me and the engine change) or because it was a 4 stroke. All season and even last season, I just couldn't get the boat to plane correctly. I...

Hey Chuck Here's a close up from another camera, looks like a mute swan but real young. [Inline IMG_2058.JPG] Over the years I've seen these birds smack into the telephone/power lines by a train track by my house. I've found 2 with neck collars and tarsal bands.... my friends will swear...

Yeah it does look like a Trumpeter, I didn't get to see it in person. I was thinking immature mute only because we rarely see any trumpeters, and the grayish feathers-- I wonder if the knob on the bill grows in as they mature? I do know the trumpeters land in fields and Mute swans prefer the...

Wished they were open in NY. We see alot, usually around april/May I can count over 200-300 birds stacked up in a cove by my house. Mean birds when you get near them. Here's an immature swan that stayed with some cement statues in Decemeber 2010, my wife took the picture from the camera...

I recieved this picture today from a friend who found this along a roadway. Look at what is clutched in the owl's talons. We see owl's on Long Island, but this was just a wild photo. Too bad he or she couldn't enjoy the last supper. -Jack

Must be a strain going around, caught the same illness. Hey Carl, Good luck with the search, I'm in the same situation. My son is ready to hunt but the boat is too small to cross the bay. I'm still not "really serious" yet, maybe if I get a tax refund LOL -Jack

Al, I too am glad for a thread like this. A long time ago Mark mentioned the 7 shot on this forum and at first I was hesitant, but bought a box originally to dispatch cripple divers. As I debated with friends about the close range shooting I started using these 7 shot loads, on Mallards...

Tod, Hope Pete has a speedy recovery, great to see you had a good season. Coincidentally, Chance (my CBR) had sliced his pad on the last day also -- not too deep but we called it a day by noon. The snow made it easy to see he was bleeding, it wasn't bothering him but I didn't want it to...

Got to throw in some pictures of Chance This was last season, about 18 months old [Inline IMAG0089.jpg] [Inline chance3.jpg] a cold January day [Inline IMAG0007.jpg] This January 2011 -- about 2.5 yrs old [Inline IMG_2196.jpg] Good Boy... [Inline IMAG0112.jpg] Wish I...

Phil, That cracked me up, I call it the good boy collar (Actually Pete McMiller coined that phrase) . Being occasionally stubborn is a good way of putting it. Congrats on the cerf test, would love another chessie. I need to take a better picture, like yours, but they kind of look...

I don't attach it to my license. I like to display the past stamps in a frame, so I prefer the lick type stamps. I never had any problems showing this to the CO. I've lost my license in the past so having a stamp attached to it would have been a double whammy to replace. After the...

I've learned a lot from this site for many years, and today was no difference. The freezer is part of the possession limit, thank you John for correcting my thinking. I never had to think about the possession limits, I hardly get a daily limit. -Jack

Jack- Possession is twice the daily bag limit. PERIOD! Even if the birds are processed. Meaning breasted out or made into sausage. They still must be tagged and still count as part of your possession. To take it a bit further, even if you gift the bird to a friend. Technically, they are still...
