    Advise wanted on hunting with old english hammer double

    Nice gun - congratulations BPI lists some very good Non-toxic loads using their ITX shot. I normally load 1.25 oz loads in #4 and keep the pressure around 6000 psi. If it is a 2.5 inch chamber the tube can be reamed out relatively easily. If you do reload check out Ballistic Products on line...

    STORIED HEADGEAR - Gunning hats you have owned

    That's a Scout. Drove that bad boy 26 hours one way to reach Meadow Lake Saskatchewan and beyond. Two guys drove and one tried to sleep in the back. DIY hunts back then were easy lots of ducks on the barley swaths and everybody let you on if you asked. The only request was 'don't shoot the...

    STORIED HEADGEAR - Gunning hats you have owned

    UKC hunt test Question

    Recall that at the Started Level you may hold on to the dogs collar to prevent a break. The Judges will then assign a gunner to 'shoot' at the marks. I would suggest you take advantage of this if you are running in Started. There is also a significant advantage to using a pump. The noise of...

    Recomendations for Hunting Dog

    You didn't say which dog venue you have been competing in but if you have been invested for a decade you are probably WAY ahead of the average dog buyer. When I decided to get back into dogs once my daughter left for college I looked at what my goals were. I was sick of friends dogs that...

    Recomendations for Hunting Dog

    As you can see by my Avatar I was into labs for many years. At one time I had three titled dogs in the house / kennel. As my last lab was nearing retirement I got interested in Boykin Spaniels after seeing a couple do well at a couple hunt tests I was working. After looking at several breeders...

    Boss shotgun ammo

    Hi Guys As a Nash Fan I have read most of his stuff and did multiple searches over the years regarding his shotgun. It is my understanding that the 3" Super Fox was actually built on a 'light 10" frame. Recall the 10 gauges of the day had a 2 7/8 chamber hence it was a simple matter of just...

    Porposing Question

    Put the tiny Tach on yesterday. Mounted the tach on the Big Tiller behind the shift. I'll be on the water the next 4 days with a couple of friends so I'll have a chance to see how she rides with more weight in the boat.

    Good Info ---- Thanks to all

    Porposing Question

    I should have mentioned that I already have a 4 blade prop on the boat. Will probably buy the metal transom wedges offered for Merc. Since they are already slotted I should simply be able to slide off the Outboard - insert wedges and re-mount the unit. If I add the jack plate I should be able...

    Taking Decoys across the boarder?

    I am leaving for a Cast & Blast in Ontario on Sept 15th and based on the experiences of friends filled out a CBP 4457 form to list my valuable personal property with customs prior to crossing the border. A friend did an expensive bear hunt in BC and listed virtually all his hunting gear, rifle...

    Towing a Skiff

    Hi Guys This fall I anticipate towing a Lund Ducker behind the houseboat. I might even tow my 18' Jon. In your opinion what the best way to tow a skiff or boat. Not sure if I should just pull it straight behind the boat or along side. The possible upside of the alongside option is the skiff...

    Lund Ducker

    I believe your point is well taken. I looked at that seam and it appears to be suspect

    Name the Houseboat

    Angled Cabin - I acknowledge the boat is an ugly duckling but I really wanted to stay away from a pure box cabin. After setting up my initial braced frame I changed a couple things one of which was making the cabin front angled. Actually no headroom was lost as the area directly under has just...
