Eric, Great looking limit of Mallards- tell Thomas well done! -Bill

Throw them on the grill and serve on a bed of wild rice- I bet they taste better than a real sea duck!

Mike, I copied this link, but have never bough their product (or made molded decoys), so I can not commnet on suitability. http://iasco-tesco.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=598&category_id=17&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2 -Bill

Yes, thank-you. The forum would not be the great place it is without the moderators keeping things in check. Thanks for all you do!

Eric, I think they came out great! Certainly better looking than the mugs they were designed to hide! Take care, Bill

Chuck, Hope he is not offended- something easy for a tallented artist may not be so easy to a guy who can barely paint-by-numbers ; ) I may try the technique after learning a few more of the basics. -Bill

Chuck/Tom, Thanks. I really like Pat's work, but do not feel quite ready to try something that complicated. -Bill

Terry, Thanks. Nice work! Your pic makes me want try putting some feathers on my plain old hens... -Bill

Hi. I'm getting ready to paint some hen redheads "gunning decoy grade" and trying to figure out the paint scheme. Would like to do something a little better than one shade of brown, but do not want to be painting individual feathers, either. I painted some hen bluebills with #6 FME and used a...

Dave, The LEDs are supposed to be bright, but I read that because each individual LED only puts out light in one direction, they do not always seem as bright. That is actally the reason I posted the question to start with. Based on some of the other posts, it sounds like they will work fine...

Dave, Thanks. I should have been clearer on the product. Was really considering the 18 LED version with forward and side facing LEDs, which, with the way my light pole/socket is oriented, would throw light up and to the sides. Had to install my last 906 "spare" last week, so I will probably...

Hi. I'm considering replacing the regular type bulbs in my stern lights with LED and was wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with them. Both my stern lights are pole mounted 12v w/ 906 automotive type bulbs. It looks like an LED like this http://autolumination.com/906.htm...

Eric, This works for me- and you get to recline! (you can see room for one more in the boat) Pulled up on shore is probably not a big deal to hunt any direction. However, there is a huge disadvantage to reversing direction if there is wave action as the chop hits the stern and comes...

Yea, just bought 50 lbs myself. Wish I'd bought a ton of lead shot back in the early 2000s when lead was $.20 per pound instead of what it is now..... Shot was ~$14 for a 25lbs bag of magnum, now it is 3-4 times that...

Bill, Awsome. Thanks for sharing your build. I've always like the ZTW and every once in a while pull out the book and think maybe some day.... Do you have any idea what your completed boat weighs? -Bill

Well, It's not wood or cork, but it did get run thru my bandsaw. Makeing 4 sleepers- 2 Bluebill drake, 1 Bluebill hen, and 1 Redhead drake to round out 4 dozen regular head/low head burlapped foamers to complete the rig. Tomorrow I plan on putting on the last coat of mastic and letting them...

Cody, I've been thinking about similar patern with FME Dark OW Grey and dead grass green. -Bill

Check out Remington's steel shot barrel for 1100. http://www.cabelas.com/barrels-chokes-remington-1100-replacement-shotgun-barrels.shtml http://www.remington.com/sitecore/content/Remington/pages/support/parts-information/remington-original-factory-barrels-tables.aspx

Gary, Like has been said, 10% tongue weight is the goal. Seems most stock boat trailers have the axles so far back it is much higher (at least that was the case on my 2 Devlin's), but it sounds like you have the opposite problem. It is unsafe to have negative tongue weight, so you should...

Dave, Doug Fir works fine for sheer. Believe it is even listed as an alternative on Devlin's list of materials. -Bill
