Shoe Goo. Did it with the exact same pair of waders two years ago in the same spot. It only slowed me having to replace them. The leak which was sort of bad, became smaller. I managed to get another season out of them. Just know you will probably need to replace them soon. Make sure you clean...

This cannot be understated. Experienced this for the first time this season in NJ. There were actual trees floating downriver and birds were sitting on the tree. Slow down, especially in the dark, and take your time.

Carl, It always is a mixed-feeling shooting mallards here in NJ. On one hand they are beautiful and seem to decoy really well (compared to black ducks). On the other it feels odd knowing I basically shot a wild-farm-duck. It gets good for them here in the backwater swamps and sloughs. Coastal...

It takes a little getting used to the idea that people come from all over the country to NJ to bag them and Atlantic Brant. I have a buddy who guides and has a gentleman coming to cross the last 2 birds he needs off his 41: black duck and brant. He told me he's nervous because "stranger things...

This is exactly the exact podcast I was referring to. Couldn't remember the name. I remember him discussing that. I suppose I had it wrong. The retroactively hybridize but mostly with mallards.

Thank you for clarifying this. The first thing we always hear (here in NJ) is "white on trailing edge = hybrid." Maybe you can clarify this but I've also heard that hybrids are not as common as people think. With that, I also have heard that hybrid black x hybrids will only pair with other...

That bird checks all the boxes, Craig. Neck ring, head coloration difference, secondaries, etc. It will look beautiful on the wall. Very nice bird.

90% of the "bad primer" issues are coming from specific guns, with known firing pin issues. I am not going to get into that can of worms because then the whole good gun/bad gun debate comes in. If you look though, it's a specific manufacturer. Also, like you said, sometimes it becomes a firing...

That is not a good rig for a surface drive. Vee/mod-vee is not going to be a good fit. The reality is, you just need to be careful. You're not going to be perfect all the time and sometimes you can't avoid hitting stuff. You just have to study charts and take your time. If you don't know where...

Happens, on a limited basis, with all bismuth shot. That's also part of the basis why it's so effective. It's considered at minimum, a semi-frangible ammo. The real question is did it happen coming out of the barrel and/or in-flight? Or was it at the terminal point, hitting the intended target...

I've been shooting Boss for a few years now and went through the same. I love it but, yes, it took a bit of testing with the chokes. My answer: Neither of those chokes. In fact, it looks like you might want the same choke I use. Something in an IM pattern. Right smack between mod and full. The...

We run 12-14 decoys because that's about the largest group of ducks we see most of the time lol. Mud, tides, wind, pressured birds, are all the norm here. In all honesty though, our public land access and overall hunting regs for waterfowl are pretty open.

You are by far not the normal. I appreciate that and respect it. 90% of the guys here with them think it's opening day in Arkansas every morning here in NJ.

Jode, We've had problems in north zone at a popular ramp. Park police are giving ALL duck hunters a hard time about launching prior to 7am for that reason.
