AA SILVER BULLETS, Heavy Trap, 7 1/2's are my favorite Late Season Dove loads in PA. No bunny shots in Nov. Most shots 30 to 40 yards and the full choke of the Model 12 Duck Gun works just fine on those shots. Once ya start the gun there's no stopping the swing.

Kyle, Thank you for your input, and info on this subject. Much appreciated. I agree with you on many points that you have stated. I do not agree with you on the term of Shooters. In many countries and places when targets (skeet, trap, sporting clays), birds & animals are placed before clients...

Looks like a double end marshboat to me. Ya can see where the oar locks were. Wisconsin is famous for making them. Mine was made in Appleton, Wisconsin. I have seen them in use, and stowed on shore while hunting in Manitoba. They are very deadly marsh and scull boats. The shotgun shell holder...

Jeff, Having lived in PA most of my life. The PA "stream etiquette" there is caused by the fact there are so many angler's, and only so many places for them to fish. One learns to go where and when the other anglers are not fishing. That takes lots of learning to accomplish. The same can be...

Dani, OH MY! Go On.... Tell It Like It IS. Thank You & AMEN Best regards Vince

If I recall correctly each province has it's own requirements for big game. When ya check the regs for each province it shall tell ya. Most as I recall do require a guide for Big Game. That is where the trickle down effect to other hunting began. When I hunted the different province's I always...

I agree with you Eric. Not understanding the effects of legislation on managing the resource is much more common these days. Here in NY they have new laws pertaining to background checks for all guns & ammo (muzzle loaders included) that can take days to verify. So many folks just do not buy. I...

Jode, Those Appleheads are mighty fine in design and paint application. Ya just keep gettin' better and better.... Two Thumbs Way UP! Best regards Vince

One must include LITIGATION concerning todays hunting on someone else's property. We live in the age of "Sue Happy". Farmers and ranchers especially are very aware of that. Does leasing reduce that? I dunno, but it should be included in Follow The Money. I do know that in some places if ya pay...

Don, for 60 1/2 years I lived in Shenango Valley very close to the river, and the dam. Mercer Co., Crawford Co. and further east has plenty of public hunting. Ohio in the west also lots of public hunting. Took lots of scouting to find where the birds were as the flight lanes are somewhat...

ND & SD have had non resident restrictions for many many years. To think that would not spread to other places is foolish thinking. It was just a matter of time. We are now living in that time. As far as waterfowl hunting in PA. Move to another state and you will find out that PA is far better...

Patrick, Thank you. The Flicker was inspired by Jode Hillman's work. Wood Ducks are a joy to paint. I gotta keep busy so..... I paint. Best regards Vince

Isn't that what CIGAR called Baloney Wood?

There's lots of meat on Sandhill Crane legs (in my way of thinking waste not want not) and while we were dressing the birds a old time farmer fellow hunter in our group said. "Shame to waste these legs can ya use em?" I'll make soup with em. Slow roasted the legs in the evening with some...
