    3 Pintails

    I was wondering if this spring you noticed an out of balance in the sex ratios of Pintails. The number of 7 to 1 drakes to hens is the number that I heard being tossed around. The reports state that hens are in poor condition being pursued by so many drake suitors .Being that the birds are in...

    ALL-WOOD SNOWSHOES - Bob Welsh or anyone?

    Hi Steve, My first thought was the construction was similar to the slat style canoe seats that were used until the woven cane became the standard more or less. They had all the material already on hand. Canoe and boat companies built snowshoes as an of season product. I would guess ash or...

    You are quite the gumshoe. Over the years ive had a few get away that I wish I could get back. Never even so much got a postcard. Has someone reefed out all the caulking to prepare it for some restoration at some point? The boat looks in good shape a fine candidate for a restoration.

    Trying to ID a duckboat.

    I have one that I don't use much that is the older style with the aluminum framework. The front seat has a flange on the floor that connects to the seat base. It's there for support of the hull. I removed the seat and i don't think it weakened the hull much. They aren't the lightest boats around!
