You are the Mold Master! I want to sign up for lessons!

As someone posted, your average lab sized dog is too big to go into one decoy. Put a portion of his ashes in a ziplock bag, add a collar or dog tag or two. I put all of these plus a few shot pellets and then sealed the decoy. My daughter's always ask if Zack is going to hunt with us, and he...

I stopped using cork six or seven years ago. When the price of cork went up and the quality went down, it stopped making sense. Our decoy making forefathers used the materials that they had available - cedar, refrigorator cork, life vest cork etc. I've got lobster float decoys that Grayson...

SEWE is an excellent show and a great time! When we lived in Charlotte, we went every year for about 10 years. My wife and I have only been back once since moving, but we talk about it every year. We used to get some great deals at the SCWA art auctions and the DU oyster roast is a helleva...

I used to live a few miles away from the lake. It is a LARGE lake, easily as large as NY's largest Finger Lake. I hope they clean up the water and protect the shoreline from developers. That part of FL is a nice wintering grounds for blue bills.

We were in a similar situation a few years ago. I did an internet search and found someone in my area that offered pet sitter services. I paid her for two or three months to come and let the puppy out once or twice a day while we were at work. The cost was reasonable and my older dog...

I started with a Johnson 9.5 Sportstwin on mine and was fine, until we got into a situation. The wind was pushing the water out of the bay and we needed to move fast or be stuck. My 9.5 buzzed and buzzed and we made it, but my partner's 15 just picked him up and got him to the ramp. There is...

OK, NDR. I was in the exact same boat with the camper. The old Chevy 1500 wasn't pulling well. As a long time Chevy owner I was all set to buy a Silverado with the 6.2L Camaro motor in it - how bad could that be?? Someone suggested I look at the Ecoboost, so I did, just to be sure. I am now...

I've used it too and liked it. I can't get white cedar here, but catulpa is pretty close. Enjoy!

I think we need a little color with all these black and brown dogs. Gold always shines! This is Beau with a January Canvasback on the Niagara River: This is my young dog Skye with her first Redhead, taken a day later (or before..) Skye is just a year old.

Hey Todd, Thanks for the interest. My daytime job has is keeping me pretty busy so I don't carve to sell anymore. The birds that I do are for friends and family and the contest pool every now and then. If you are gunning over some of my blocks, I wish you the best of luck with them. Ducks...

Take a look at the Native Ultimate 12 kayak. It was designed as a fishing kayak. Weighs less than 50 lbs and paddles very nicely. The seat removes in about 2 seconds and make the boat a great layout blind. I bought one this year for less than $700 and had no problems shooting mallards...

My Youtube channel has a couple videos that show the actual burlapping process. http://www.youtube.com/user/Greatlakesdecoy The vids were not meant to be pro quality instructional resources, just a quick and dirty, this is how I do it thing. Hope it helps. Tom

Shoot me an email and we can talk, I am more than willing to help you out. I live in WNY and hunt the Niagara River quite a bit - a lot actually. I can get you into some hunting on the NY side of L. Ontario, but I can't promise a retrieve. If the Niagara River is close enough, we can get you...

Hey Nick, I know, it is the hardest thing in the world to do. My thoughts are with you my friend. Tom

Steve, I remember that contest, he won it! If I remember correctly, the blocks were put in a pool and judged from X number of feet. He beat me and Obi Wan and a few others from here. I forgot all about that! Tom

I have been burlapping Herters bodies for several years. I carve my own heads and carve the bodies to my own liking. When I am done, they look like a custom duck killing tool - which is what they are! And they are pretty much undestructable...

You don't need no stinkin reason!!! Just tell her that your recent medical "event" - God told you to get a new boat. Its that simple! It might be a Noah thing, it might be that He wants you to help reduce the expanding snow goose population or possibly the nuisance resident canada goose...
