New England is the home of the Extra Large, wooden slat, "LOOMER" Canada Goose Decoys over 100 years ago. So This modern goose decoy is right at home. Enjoy it.

The lightest and durable "Walk In Decoys" I have in my wide array of hunting decoys are FOLD UP DECOYS F. U. D. The originals were painted by Adam Grim the winner of the Federal Duck Stamp including this years stamp. I'm uncertain if they are still made but can be found on the internet. The...

RM, In my younger days I wanted to go to Mexico for dove and ducks as I do not like to fly. I have been on hunts where there were lots of birds and shooting lotta days over many weeks. My shoulder can only take so much and yes the gun barrel does get Hot. I despise recoil from lotta shooting...

The shooting school that I practiced for many years was Pigeon hunting in the Summer, Dove hunting September, 1st to the end of the season, as far from social dove shoots as possible. My hunting partners and I hunted as many days a week as possible. These hunts got us very much into shooting...

Bob Thank you for the info. I've gotta go up in the attic today anyway and while there I'll hopefully find that issue among the many boxes of Gray's I've "collected" since issue #1. I very much enjoy rereading the old issues as they are a treasure trove of knowldege and exceptional writing...

Been through this before. Upland hunting should be good. No matter wet or dry we always went west, and to Canada. I'm certain that others on this site did so also. All part of the cycle of Life. Very interesting to read that white geese populations are on decline, and the damage to the breeding...

The county that we live in has more cows than people. I'm told the average dairy cow lives 4 years. One of the first things I noticed when I moved here 15 years ago is that many of the Vultures never leave there is always carrion to eat. Second thing I noticed is the Pigeon poplation in the...

The man that was my hunting & fishing mentor and best friend was a WWII Veteran. His job was to train Pigeons to carry messages and orders to and from the command posts and troops. He had extensive knowledge about the birds and put it to use for Our Country. Everytime we killed a banded bird I...

The Pigeon hunting we did was mostly on Amish farms far from cities and towns. We were always welome and enjoyed the time spent with the families. After a very good hunt the farmer told us. "Neighors are now using poison the kind that is placed on the roost then killes the birds. If I were you I...

Mr. Bortner has given you the Facts and the Law. Ya hunt em ya should read & know the rules. It's up to you as what you Do or not Do. Pigeons I stopped shooting when they began to poison them, as we did eat them. A good friend and his crew were all out Stone Cold Crow Killers and ate those as...

Ben, Your miniatures are exceptional in everyway. Your own style, and just enough to capture the essence of the bird. What a very special gift for your wife. Two Thumbs Way UP! Piping Plover's nest at Presque Isle in Erie, PA not far from where we live. I have observed them more than once...

Batavia, NY has a long history of Waterfowling in every category of the Sport & Lifestyle. If I were younger and still a Goosehuntingaholic I would add it to my rig and collection of decoys. Cuz YES they do work and that is a good price.

John, If you should come east. Get Thee to the Wooden Boat Museum, Clayton, NY. You shall not be disappointed. It is ever evolving with projects and displays and the surrounding area is dripping with history of all kinds. At least check out the website. Best regards Vince

From what reading I have done ALL bird populations in North America are in decline. Some in very steep decline. We know this cuz of STUDIES done by the Feds, States, Universities, Colleges, private and national organizations, etc. To take ONE or more of these factors out of information gathered...
