Richard, Sorry to read about your illness and being unable to sheep hunt. You took a positive approach to it with Bird Hunting & Waterfowling. Ya dove right in head first. I admire that. As ya well know book learning will only take ya so far. "On the job training" will get ya where ya need to...

Steve, The artist is Mr. Joseph Fornelli. His work is outstanding he also illustrated the book. During the 1980's Mr. Reiger and I corresponded about our passion for waterfowling and his writing as our mind set is very similar. We almost caught up to each other when we both hunted Lake...

Books concerning things of interest to me are a passion of mine. I just "found" these two recently stashed away in my Man Room. Of course now I must read and study them from cover to cover (already started). If I recall I got them at the county fair in the Outdoor Building and placed them in a...

DROWNING ON DRY LAND - Albert King. The original and the instrumental. All things by Albert King (the list is long) All the time never gets old in this house. What a Voice, and left hand.....

That is a wonderful photo. Retiring and moving to another place takes courage and a leap of faith. Leaving a place you have been for many years that helped shape who you are and what you enjoy is physical. Your mind will not forget the places you have hunted & fished and spent so much time...

Roy, Ya hit the nail on the head about blade flex. I have not used a fillet knife that can compare to it and I've used many, some very costly ones that failed the flex test. The small blade Rapala is my favorite and the one that I strop the most when filleting Bluegills. The small blade and...

We livin' it up here in western NY. Plenty of snow, ice for those that ice fish, and Cold. As it should be. How folks can live without the 4 seasons to enjoy I cannot understand but I guess someone has to do it. They brought in a frontend loader and dump trucks to clean up the parking lot at...

Apology accepted during this most difficult time in your life. Die-Vorce is a helluva thing to endure. Best regards Vince

When you disrespect your quarry you do a disservice to the entire hunting community. It may be a common term with the folks in your community not in mine. You didn't hurt my feelings at all. Thank you. The first time I heard that term was in SASK in 1995 during a roadblock game check. One of...

Nothing like the term Sky Carp to show ones ignorance. my 2 cents

I have known way to many folks that have suffered from Shingles during my lifetime. From mild cases to one that ended up in ICU. So as soon as they came out with the vaccine years ago I asked my doctor for it. Was told "Your to young. You'd have to pay for it as it's not covered by insurance." I...

Dave, I agree 100% with your process. I'm left handed and I take my time just as you do. Time was that PA had a 50 per day Panfish limit. As a artist living off of what I caught Bluegills and Crappies were a essential part of my diet. Filleting 50 fish was a real job but well worth it...

Ben, That's a mighty fine Ringbill decoy. Everything that should be there is, no fluff. I like the textured head and the brush marks gives the decoy extra appeal. Should work very well for yer friend for many years. Best regards Vince

The photos made me Smile Big Time. Quill has Personality Plus. There's a whole lotta good things going on behind her Eyes and between her Ears. May you have a long and wonderful future together. Best regards Vince

This is a very sad story for all involved and the hunting community. I've been a upland bird hunter since the early 1960's. Worked on a game farm for years, and have hunted the birds in lots of places east and west. Been shot at many times, once badly in the leg. Hot pellets hurt like Hell...

Mike, Many years ago I was came very close to buying a Scullboat from Lock Stock & Barrel. I already had my share of duckboats and not having a house of my own storage was already a issue. Also none of my gunning partners were as interested in it as I was. The local lakes held many ducks and...

Steve, We have what is considered a dusting of snow here now about 4". During the last lake effect West Warsaw (4 miles away) had 28.5" of snow. Since we are in a freeze and thaw cycle I've lost count of how much there has been it varies so greatly over such a near and wide area. One place has...
