    Vintage Gunning Box

    I think Vince is referring more to the methodology and the atmosphere of hunting in a solitude, quiet, peaceful style -- At least that's how I interpreted his comment. No matter how we slice it, duck hunting is an expensive hobby/passion/endeavor/obsession. Don't know about $500, but I listed...

    Anyone hunted geese in Chestertown, MD?

    Greg, -- the local guy we hunted with talked about the drop in the limit. He also said the limit was going back up next year to 2 Canada per day. We say a lot of them, but I think they were reluctant to commit to our giant spread of snow geese/Canada mixed. we watched them commit to another...

    Vintage Gunning Box

    Eric--That box is awesome looking. It screams ducking history to me. The thickness of the boards, fully 3/4", I suspect, makes me think it is quite rugged but heavier than I would want. I love the patina and the cradle. Man, if that thing could talk. And Richard--your reproduction looks...

    Vintage Gunning Box

    Hi Eric, I have built 7 or 8, I think -- given them all to friends except for my own and one other. I used my own box in place of a blind bag and find it works well. The weigh difference is hardly anything when loaded with shells, thermos, etc. My latest build measure 15" x 7.5" x 6.75"...

    Anyone hunted geese in Chestertown, MD?

    Capt Rich, yes the place is wrapped up in Snow Geese. We saw very large flocks on both horizons, and had groups of 100s working over the decoy spread we had.

    Anyone hunted geese in Chestertown, MD?

    A friend invited me to hunt geese with him in Chestertown, Maryland a couple weeks ago. He's part of a goose club there. Having never been there before, I did not know of its role in goose hunting. Almost every big field we passed by had some kind of blind in the middle. We hunted from a pit...

    Body Booting Waterfowl Hunting

    Matt C -- Have you looked at the Browning Model 12? It only comes in 20 gauge. They are no longer manufactured, I think, but one can find them unused on the secondary market. They are beautiful. I have one. They only come in modified choke, I think.

    Battery (sinkbox) shooting

    There are several guide services on Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands who offer curtain blind hunts. a curtain blind measures only 4ft x 4ft, so it is very, very cramped. I found it very uncomfortable for two hunters of average size. If birds are flying well, you might consider taking turns...

    Fantastic! I just returned from Chestertown, MD and this was talked about amongst the people I hunted with. I didn't know it took place below the susquehanna flats. Thank you for sharing, Vince!
