I'd rather they just say "Ungraded lumber look at the pictures or come see for yourself if it meets your needs." instead of making up bullshit as if it is some sort of industry standard.

SJ I think it has a lot to do with mom and pop sawmills selling on FB MP that don't actually grade their lumber and are trying to convey what they have to a buyer that often doesn't know stuff like structural grades and appearance grades. So you end up with a bunch of nebulous terms and some...

Steve Do you ever feel like the older you get the more you become Andy Rooney? I know I do! 😂

Has anyone noticed how FB MP has completely re-written and improved the rules for grading lumber? Read that with heavy sarcasm. What the hell is "cabin grade"? Would that be A, B, C, or D? This reminds me of the new trend in shotgun chokes, e.g. "decoy", "pass", "UFO". "wing", "RC", blah...

If you keep the saw inside your shop and it is not used outside on the job site then operating space becomes an issue. That narrows down the field to those that have rail forward designs, or the Bosch "Axial-Glide" system. Both of these designs allow the saw to park directly against a wall and...

Earlier tonight I posted on Instagram the first of three videos about the giant Hambone ducks calls. This video is simply an intro to the project and mostly a look back at the calls made by C.H. Amaden. The next two show how I went about making the oversized call.

When I fit my sole I planed the bottom along the perimeter to match the angle it met with the sole. This way there is no lip. I determined this width every foot and then bent a batten connecting the dots. From there I went at it with a block plane until it sat flush around the perimeter...

Steven Yes, I'm thinking about duck hunting because that's all I do and the WMAs I hunt(ed) do not allow deer hunting. For certain there are places and scenarios where a drone could be used unethically. In fact using a drone to scare ducks into gunning range would be rallying so that is...

Steven Let me ask you something. Would you rather someone scout a WMA with an outboard/surface drive or a drone? I fail to see the purpose of not using drones to scout when they do not disturb wildlife like other methods do. Of course I'm not surprised by the state's stance. Over the last...

I just learned something. I looked up scouting with drones in Alabama and it is legal on private property. However, you cannot use drones to scout on WMAs without permission from AL DCNR. For any unauthorized person to launch, land or possess or use any unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)/drone on...

Wow. No weapon at all, just cold air and water vapor. Crazy.

Never heard of that so I looked it up. I had no idea that's what Mick Fleetwood was wearing. 😂

Thanks for that info. I assumed they were no longer in business. The last time I ordered, five or so years ago, he mentioned he was in his 80s so I figured being a one-man shop they would be out of business any day. Good to know the next generation is moving forward.

Tod I looked into the supplier I have been recently using but didn't find what you are looking for. Regardless, you might call them on Monday to see if they have what you are after. https://phoenixrope.com/ I also found this. I have zero experience with this product but it seemed to meet...

Does the body of water your considering to hunt have much fetch? In other words will the wind be ripping longways over open water? That would be my go-no-go criteria. Will the front blow the ducks out of the area? If I did decide to go I probably wouldn't hit the water until after sunrise...

I wasn't even thinking about the legality of such weapons given the difficulty they'd present to kill a duck and they are all non-toxic. That is unless you're blowing poison darts. 😂

A fellow club member is attempting to kill a duck with a bow and arrow. Anybody here do that or seen it done? I started thinking about this and came up with the grand slam of primitive duck hunting. Bow and arrow Sling shot Atlatl Blow gun I kind of doubt anyone has ever completed this but...

@Anthony Babich & @Dave Diefenderfer A few years back I took a 90s Wildfowl magazine and started comparing the number of product endorsements and advertisements per page to a recent issue. I got tired of counting, but the difference was huge. Tell me something, at the shows is the...
