    Starting outboard in extreme cold

    Good to know. Fuel lines are new last year. We played games with the fishing boat for a while and I took some extra new line and made new ones for this. Today it was 22F and it started right up. I parked it in the lawn (not wife approved) instead of the usual spot which is surrounded by trees...

    Starting outboard in extreme cold

    Do y'all have the fuel water separator in line or mounted somewhere? We have a racor on the 23 walk around but it's mounted in the motor well and out of the way. Not sure how that would look inside the duckwrangler 15

    Starting outboard in extreme cold

    Sounds good, I'll try the separator. I actually run all season on ethanol free. Wife's family have cabins up in lake George, they sell ethanol free 93 at the pump at the Stewart's right in town. I bring every red can we have and fill up while we are there. I look like a maniac filling up 10 five...

    Starting outboard in extreme cold

    We got 1. Didn't get out until late due to slow to start motor and couldn't get set up where we wanted to with the tide going out. Actually I didn't get anything, we drifted into some and andrea took the lead bird down like a pro and missed the other two shots. No water separator. I just have...

    Starting outboard in extreme cold

    Went out for late goose yesterday, temp was 8F. My 04 Suzuki df40 doesn't like to start when it's that cold. Fuel lines were frozen, so I swapped them out, but man did it take a while to get the thing to turn over. After I heard one of the cylinder fire off, I knew i could get it started. Just...

    Ganseklein

    Without stealing the author's thunder, I just want to say I made Ganseklein from Hank Shaw's "Duck, Duck, Goose." With the potato dumplings it tastes like a stuffing soup. That is; like thanksgiving bread stuffing in soup form. Highly recommend the book if you want regular ole recipes, or you...

    Duck Landjaegers??

    "Home production of quality meats and sausages" probably has a recipe in or, or Hank Shaw's "Duck, Duck, Goose"

    What's on the bench? January 2022

    Dani- CT is one such state. Mergs in the regular duck bag. Interesting Bill, no one I hunt with shoots mergs except for me, and even that is rare. However with sea ducks I've heard people like to give them away. Curious if the Atlantic flyway commission will extinguish the separate sea duck...

    Decoy ID for the gurus

    Sadly no, did not. He's not a hunter. I believe it died out with his father

    Decoy ID for the gurus

    Thanks tod. I debated using them today in the scaup but the big raft didn't want to commit anyways. Maybe if I had brought them... I also think the carving of the back on the drake to get the white and black feathers was a unique touch.

    Decoy ID for the gurus

    Got these as a gift from my brother in law. Apparently they were his grandfathers - from Youngstown, NY. Curious if the thought is they were carved by said grandfather or if a commercial line, and roughly the decade they may be from. Flat bottom, appears to be pine body. Can snap some more...

    Too bad you two old men will never be able to catch me on foot! [cool] Henry though, I'll be done if you send him after me

    Scaup, Brant, and Gadwall Notes

    Ken and my spot is also yours, but my actual secret spot is shooting off marina docks in a north west wind. No one else hunts that one that I've seen. Nice and cushy. Don't even need a boat if you have the dog

    Scaup, Brant, and Gadwall Notes

    There are plenty of Brant off napatree point (closer to you) and along the harbors and beaches in CT. I haven't seen the scaup myself but Ken Morris said he saw some in an area we both hunt. I haven't seen them in our secret spot yet but I also haven't been checking as it's not in my usual...

    Killing Cripples Quickly and Humanely

    Agreed. I scotch doubled two green heads while walking the marshes of Maine this weekend. I was u loaded, near the road heading back to the truck. Two green heads flew out of a 1' wide draw and flew off. I was able to load and shoot and hit both with a single shell of BOSS #5 bismuth at about...
