Finally it came, but not with out a bang! I went up to hunt some ducks for the Saturday opener, trailering a momarsh and a final attack strapped securely to the trailer. All was going fine, traffic on the Long Island Expressway wasn't too bad until I got to the bottle neck near the Cross...

Carl, When I hunted with my Durham in my sneakbox, I always hunted with her laying down between my legs. She was to big to fit under the spray shield. I'd cover her up with a camo burlap with her head just resting on the back deck. If she popped up, her head was even with my outboard...

I've been using gunscrubber clean my guns and breakfree or Ezoxx to lube/protect my guns. So far it's held, and like Tod decribes "You wipe after a dump - wipe your gun down when you have it in the salt" I keep an oiled cloth in a ziplock (to wipe my gun-- for those wise guys). I learned a...

Excellent catch! Costly addiction-- but it's nice when a plan comes together. Great story. I recognized those gloves-- I bought a few pairs last season and now my buddies want me to pick up more. We'll be the "blue hand group"

Brian, Here's a link to an interactive mapping system where you can see (make sure the check box is active) the WMA and other lands availble for hunting http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/45415.html You can use the tool bar on the top left to zoom in/out pan and identify the WMA and...

My buddy shoots that auto, and for the price he doesn't spend too much time cleaning it. He figures if it goes bad he'll by another. I think it's a good gun for waterfowling, because you don't need to baby her. LI_Mike might chime in here, because he shoots full choke (factory) and takes clean...

Man your wife must love you! I have to take picture like that in the garage, only birds aloud in the living room are stuff mounts or decoys (it's a compromise). I must say that I cracked up when I say the pics, good job.

Eric, The call logo looks great, if you bring the two letter O's together (like an over and under) and add the shell bottom brass in the center of the o's (like the globe is in the oliver original) with some text like the "Paterson" brand shell or something like that. Just a...

Mark, I got tierd of rewiring lights on the trailer each season, even using the submersible type. I built myself a light bar that I strap onto the transom area. It sits high so the driver behind me can't miss them, and I use the trailer wire set up not tinned wire. When I'm running wire...

It's cedar planking, with rails on the bottom. When I got it, I was about 18 yrs old and didn't know what it was but made it a layout boat. I skinned the deck and hull with laun (easier than caulking in the planking gaps) and fiberglass over the laun. It's held up for the last 24 years-- too bad...

Like these http://longislandgenealogy.com/Wireless/DuckHunting.html I have one sitting in the back yard, I rarely use it--- heavy as a bit-h. -Jack

Bob, I bought the largest paddles from cabelas that they had, I'm also 6'2" and I cruise with that boat. I knew you were looking for one last year, good luck with it you'll love it once you get use to pushing the doors open first then shoulder the gun. I used the DP more than my...

Isn't it great that our dogs make us a better shot? So many times I thought I missed and Durham would come back with her prize. Great post, pictures and dialog. -Jack

Hopefully they'll come in closer this year and you won't need the bigger load. Getting out there for early goose? -Jack

John, A friend of mine looked into the Remington made by Baikal which had a good price-- and loves that gun (I think he got his for about $400 new) He posts here once in awhile. I've never used a mossberg, I watch an old mossberg barrel fly off while rabbit hunting many moons ago-- so I...

I finally went to the digital phase. There are some pictures (reduced in size) of some fun I had playing with a cannon powershot D10. My wife and I decided on this for an aniversary present. Chance is 13 months old ... He's grown wings (note the Mute Swans add for more distraction)...

As others have said, definitely bolt the outboard on. You'll find over time the clamps loosen up. If you can get your hands on stainless steel bolts, washers and nuts use those. I went with galv. and they just rust. I'm repowering my sneak with a 15 yamaha and plan to get stainless steel...

Naw, Lab fart don't make a whistling sound!! They still stink but you end up looking at one another saying "did you do that?"

I'm sure some of you may have had the same experience. Last night I'm siting outside with my lovely wife enjoying the cool breeze and finally relaxing after the hustling around all day. We had Chance out on the porch with us and he's just being so good sitting watching the fireflies and...

Looks like you had a great summer, and your kids are growing like weeds. It's amazing how fast they grow. Great job on the tree fort! -Jack
