    Smallest natural retriever?

    My little lab female (10 months old) is right at 45 pounds, I would be very suprised if she makes it to 55. To me that is the perfect sized lab, she is still able to pick up big honkers in the field and takes up little space in the boat (and couch/bed etc)

    NDR First time for the pups---

    Really kind of ironic that it is so cold and snowy down there, and up in Vermont there is 0" of snow and been in the 50s.........very strange days. Oh yeah, right on about the Christmas card shots!!

    November - Who's picking up your birds

    Fiberglass Panels - How To?

    One more thindg I forgot, go back to the second picture again......top of the blind is a strip of 1x3 spruce strapping running the length of the blind. This is also screwed to the frame and is necessary as an anchoring point for the hinges on the flip up sides.

    Fiberglass Panels - How To?

    Pat, the frame is 1" EMT welded together and the FRP is attached with alot of self tapping screws with a big washer under the head. If you look closely in the second picture you will see some small squares, these are pieces of wood that are screwed to the frame. The whole point is for stapling...

    Fiberglass Panels - How To?

    Yup, they are FRP and come in 4x8 sheets at home depot. I used them as the sides on my hard side blind and they have held up great for 4 years now, but I used louan for the flip up sides and have had no issue with them. Granted we are not walking on them or anything like that, the louan is...

    Irene images...

    As Brian said we were (and still are) in pretty bad shape in places here in VT, there are places that got another 4 inches of rain in the last 36 hours here.....we really do not need that. Lake Champlain has come up 3 feet already and is still rising fast, pretty amazing for a 90 mile long lake...

    Shipping shotguns - an interesting learning experience

    Shipping long guns is a very simple process, I have shipped using all 3 major companies (UPS, FedEx, and USPS) many times. I hate using the USPS just because of dealing with the local post office gestapo, so I will concentrate on UPS and FedEx. Step 1- open an online shipping account...

    All you east coast guys, check in when you can!
