Josh. I am not a gunsmith but I think the 37 will handle any 2 3/4" shell. Bob.

Does the show rent tables, like a gun show would? I have never gone to the Tuckerton show but have heard about it and it was all good.

T. Entitle. Discard the two photos I sent you. Decoys got sold. Bob

Great photos John. What's your recipe for golden eye?

Actually I live in Solon Maine. I was visiting my Vermont based brother at the time of the photos. That area of Vermont is beautiful in the fall. Here is a picture of my brother when he came over to Maine and we hunted Frenchmans Bay, Maine.

John. Those photos were taken at lake Bomoseen, Vt. It was a very warm day for that time of the year. Didn't see to many waterfowl, but we made our shots count that day. By the way, that is the scull boat in the picture that I have listed in the classified.

Now that's a decoy!

As a whim I carved a teal decoy, body and head, using fresh cut green poplar wood. It turned out to heavy to float correctly, but after it dried, the decoy was as light as any cedar decoy. While drying the body split open, then after a few months it closed tight. Cedar and pine are my choice...

Jodie your wright on about mud hens and soar rail birds. The only duck I can not eat is merganser, excepting the hooded merganser. Old Squaw ducks are a close second worst to my taste buds. In sixty years of waterfowl hunting I have only shot one American merganser and two old squaws to come to...

Joe. I found another photo of the decoy gifted to the museum. The photo has more info written on the back side, stating it was given to the "Whalehead Duck Museum" in 1978. The folks in charge let my wife and I tour the grand old building on our own. Repairs to the sheet copper roof were going...

Joe. Back in 1997 I donated the decoy pictured to the Currituck museum. They were just starting there collection at that time. Did you happen to see it in there contemporary decoy collection? Bob.

I had a Herters duckbill push pole until salt water ate it up. Should have rinsed it after each hunt. After that found a maple sapling with a four limb crouch and trimmed to my liking.

Two pictures sent to your email.

That looks like a great hunt. What kind of boat, decoys, guide etc, do you use? Bob.

Steel shot 2 3/4" cartridges are all I have used in my 1954 A5 since steel became law back in the 1960's. My Browning 12ga full choke did o k with those early steel loads. Then about 1980 I bought a skeet choked A5 barrel and noticed a better kill rate then with the full choke barrel. Last...

LL Bean usually has a good supply of most ammo. They don't ship or advertise there ammo. They also don't gouge on price.
