Not actually rats, but they look like them. Shiloh (Brittany) decided to wait until I left the house to bring my daughters to the dentist today to begin giving birth. I was actually concerned she was going to wait until I left Thursday night on my ride up to hunt with Troy Fields. Total of 6 and...

I've found pieces of the bismuth in random chunks. Like if you smashed the shot with a hammer. I assume it's from contact with bone, but maybe breaking apart in the barrel too. Outside of my realm

I'll agree with Jay and say that the bismuth is nice, except the pellets shatter inside the birds when they hit bone. That being said, I bought a "case" of 200 boss shells (2-3/4" 3/5 combo). Paid more than I'm used to for shells, though they are "reasonable" in this day and age. I'd say I'm...

I go back to my poultry raising days and make a cut just below the bottom side of the bill (where the jugular is). It makes a big mess, especially with geese, but it does get most of the blood out. I had to do it to one today. We got two in the boat and they look stoned, I'm working on...

Andrea and I have been having a slow go this year on ducks. This is the first year I got a nice fat goose egg on ducks for the early season week, our new goose farm put a hold on us hunting there due to cows being scared (we still have the field), and the weather is wildly warm. All that...

Geese are moving pretty good here but everything else is slow. It's still mid to high 40s when often it's in the 30s in the day here.

I could likely argue the shot issue but the cost of a lawyer would be beyond the amount that I care to spend, particularly since I don't care much for deer hunting and usually pick them up as roadkill. We have a general gun season, (11/17-12/7) then a separate one for muzzleloader. However, the...

Long story short, you can't hunt deer while hunting waterfowl in CT: No possession of lead or shot larger than BB- removes slugs, even nontoxic- And you can't use a bow because possession of a firearm while archery hunting is prohibited.

Swallowed the pill and got 24 eider/scoter heads- hoping someone will use these. All in good condition. Looking for $5/piece. $75for the lot

Ah yes. I saw LED but didn't see the eider heads. Autumn wings never showed up for me for some reason. $8 seems like a lot to me when they go for $8 used for the whole body! But I guess it's better than $90/4 of the new ones! Thanks!

I have a bunch of herters decoys that I want to repaint. A lot of goldeneyes that I never see much of. Was hoping to turn them into eider or scoter, and was looking for heads. I'm Fairly sure those species could care less if the heads look right, I could probably just paint them the appropriate...

I hunt divers in my grassed DW15 with the blind up. They literally do not care. Bluebills, Buffies, and all of the sea ducks. The old squaw seem to be the most leery, but the eider and scoter don't even blink.

How much for the official David Clark promotion motor covers?

I meant the one linked by Tom Tyler. I can affirm that whatever waterfowl jacket I get won't be subject to upland. I have a designated painted trashed forester jacket I use for upland. Sounds snarky, but I keep my duck gear only for use when hunting ducks. This is mostly because I will trash it...

Yep!!! Thanks!

My DW15 has 4 cleats and 2 of these handles that have a diamond pattern on them that can be used as steps. Looking for the name of said part and/or where to buy one. I'll post a pic tomorrow, but looks like a handle you can step on. Black. One came broken and I fiberglassed it, but it got...

My wife is looking to get me a filson she's looking at the JacShirt, the shelter upland coat (linked a few posts ago), and the skagit waterfowl jacket. Asking for myself, which is the way to go? I'm down in CT and it can be cold but not every year.

So was it worth it to get rid of the estuary and hunt with that if you prefer to hunt solo?! Also, does that side flap fold down for shooting? Pretty slick. I'll have to check it out in an area outside of your driveway sometime.

What he said

I'd happily bring a rifle with me to the goose field since it's not state land, again not sure how wardens would find that. Will find out soon
