    Thankful for Concealment

    Haha my other gun is camo, but that ones my black cerakoted SBE. Of course before that I was very old school shooting my over/under out of a glass over cedar sneakbox. By the time they see the gun it's too late [cool]

    Facemask and glasses

    I use a lightweight sun buff as a facemask most of the time. I have a heavier fleece one, but I find this one helps both with concealment and keeping my face warm and it is very thin since it's designed as sun protection in tropical areas. Naturally you can order them in a million colors and...

    Thankful for Concealment

    I was able to use some vacation time this past week coupled with the holiday to get out four days in a row here in NJ as our second splits got going in earnest. Got to hunt with some friends and family which is always a bonus. Of course one thing to be thankful for is a boat that hides well...

    Robert is in Jersey !!

    Robert is on his way to Virginia as of this afternoon. We did get out one more time before he had to go as I hunted Saturday morning. Crowds were pretty ridiculous, but I was able to get a little corner of a creek to myself. The wood ducks were plentiful and after some spotty shooting on my...

    Robert is in Jersey !!

    Robert brought me a little bit of luck for our last day of first split for coastal yesterday. Only had two birds come in before I had to get to work, but connected on both, a hen pintail and big drake hybrid black/mallard. Looking forward to our south zone re-opener this weekend and then...

    Robert is in Jersey !!

    Day one in the field with Robert in NJ Our coastal zone first split and north zone second split (along with small game) opened Saturday. Knowing the coast would be the most popular option I opted to hunt the north zone with my dad (on his birthday no less) and my friend Tom. Tom had...

    Safe and sound at my house a mere quarter mile from the hotbed of waterfowling that is Barnegat Bay... Looking forward to Saturday for our North Zone second split opener and Coastal Zone opener.

    Traveling decoy update

    Looking forward to receiving him! We've been closed here in NJ for a few weeks so should be right in time for our NZ re-opener and Coastal first split.

    I may have wrecked my boat

    Looks familiar [;)]

    I think it hides

    Looks really great! It always throws me through a loop to see pictures of folks gunning where you don't have to worry about tide! Although I guess the water levels do fluctuate quite a bit regardless.

    Atlantic Brant study, very cool.

    I have shot three double banded brant, all three I saw the bands before I shot. The stainless ones practically glow in the sunshine.

    New old boat - help with maker and age

    The hull design most closely resembles a Heinrich 'speed box' They had the hard chine in the stern with the flat bottom for speed. This one appears set up to gun over the stern (motor) with the dog box behind the main cockpit.

    NJ North Opener

    I only have one goose band as I don't do much goose hunting. Shot that one over a puddle duck spread in the ice. I do have three double banded brant though. Usually average about one banded bird a season so I guess I got it out of the way early this year! Interesting to me that this bird...

    NJ North Opener

    Very nice Randy! I had the day off today and got a nice surprise, my first ever banded teal. Two year old greenwing from Ontario up north of Michigan... long way east for this little bird.

    Mercury Or Yamaha?

    All my small motors are yamahas, albeit their bulletproof two strokes. I have been a yamaha guy through and through, but have 350 Mercury Verados on my fishing boat and they are amazing. They really made me come around on Merc.

    New to the forum! Heres my higbee!

    That is the deal of the century on that yamaha. I know a guy who sold one for $3k... I don't believe higbees were foam cored, usually just had plywood coring on the transom, but they were built by a few different entities over the years so that could vary.

    Navigation app...

    For larger bodies of water Navionics is great. I use it as a backup gps for offshore trips and it has helped me in a pinch in the fog duck hunting too.

    Hunting Etiquette in your area

    I want to know what has happened to common courtesy of giving ample room to other parties on the marsh and even rarer, 'letting the birds work' if you are in tight proximity to another party. I've had outstanding hunts for myself and other parties where we set up close to each other but were...

    Great show today in Tuckerton. I had a quick question for the NJ guys

    Not illegal, just a different style from the long island grass boats. I grew up gunning out of a southbay so my sneakbox has grass rails similar to the southbay style. My roy boat has the netting, so best of both worlds!
