This year I added a battery jumper with cigarette plug. I wired up a set of lights to mount to boat in oar lock sockets if I want or need light to set up or take down and also a small bilge pump. I know it will not last a long time but better than nothing and if I do not need it and get back to...

Stihl. Owned one and abused one for about 23 years before buying a newer model. Never brought it in for service. Only replaced bar, blades and pull cord during that time.

Two problems with wire as I see it. The back and forth bending will flake the glavanized coating and thereby leading to premature coorosion. Second the ends no matter what will be sharp and cut and catch on everything. Plastic is better in my eyes[/url]

Rather than metal fence use plastic snow fence. Lowes sells it green color and width is perfect. Cut to shape and cut out cockpit and you are ready to zip tie cover material. Problem with metal fencing is the ends will dig into the glass over time. Another option for framing is gray PVC...

Picked up a rig of these about a year and a half ago and one other. All have been picked in Massachusetts and are marked with a W on bottom. They are well built with a beveled bottom board, shaped oak keel, flat head screws, glass eyes and carved cork tail. Well detailed for a cork bird in my...

Do yourself a favor and stay away from decoy auctions and gatherings. You will be broke, constantly looking for more to add to your collection and eventually you may be a clinically diagnosed horder of decoys or in the instance you are in denial-a collector. Toward the end, even your wife will...

Herters Oversized Redhead Decoys-rig mate pair. Branded ORR on each side of each decoy. Original paint with moderate gunning wear. No repairs, glass eyes intact, keel weights-carolina style and original keel. $200

Contemporary Bluebill Decoy for sale. Nice looking in the New Jersey style. Hollow carved and more pictures available upon request. $150

Nice find. Careful on cinching up the straps-you can stress fracture the fiberglass. You want it tight but not pulled tight with all your weight. When you get to the point of transom replacement, do it once and use Coosa Board. It is pricey and if you search the web one company sells partial...

Question on the marine radio. Seeing how they are line of site range and being surronded by residential dwellings, how useful is the radio in the absence of commerical marine traffic. Most of my haunts are poorly traveled estuaries in the winter with no boating traffic in some, aside from duck...

Thanks for the pictures Craig. Now I am convinced it is worth the five hour ride.

Bought a float coat today after having three hunters pass in my hunting area last season I have decided I need to take more precautions. Still to do: Strobe, decent first aid kit, smoke flare, whistle for float coat, ......? Thought about a radio but need to do more research on water proofing...

Check CL in other states. Often after the season you can locate one on the East Coast for a fair price including the day trip or weekend get-a-way. I saw a number over the late winter and early spring. Good luck.

All glass is misleading. The floor in the boat is fiberglass over plywood on the top surface. My mid 80s AA wigeon has the original floor and it is solid. The transom has a plywood core. Problem here is the construction. The waterproofing of the wood relyed upon the cockpit cover a...

Was lucky enough in 2003 to take a black duck with a $100 reward band. Called in the number and about a month latter the check was in the mail box. Haven't shot one since. My one and only band had an expiration date of 2006. I guess that can be the only down side to shooting a double banded bird...

I would be concerned with the integrity of glassed over plywood. At this stage of the game if glass over wood construction, you are looking now or in near future and price should reflect that. Hate to be doom and gloom but best to plan on the worst and expect the best.

A bluebill decoy modern carved by unknown hand. Only identification is an X carved in the bottom. Not a bad decoy for the desk for the cost of a few gallons of gas. Hollow carved and has a lead pad weight. Thanks for thoughts on possible maker.

Looking for a double gun and have a chance at a Browning Side by Side for a decent price, however, I am concerned with the lack of parts from what I have read. This will be a hunting gun and not looking to pussy foot around with it. Any thoughts or should I skip out and go down to CZ Bobwhite...

A few cases of shells as my stockpile has been reduceed over the last two years, a float coat and possibly a double gun.

I guess I am putting my Wildfowler label on the Redheads because of Julia and Guyette's listing, however, the head and roughness are more typical of Herter while atypical of Wildfowler. Looking at you hen Goldeneye I find similar attributes in the head carving-thanks for the doubt and putting me...
