Tod, great pictorial! Just added some more items to my bucket list...thanks!

Mike, great trip log -- more items for my bucket list after I retire! Thanks!

John, thanks for posting your pics and the very instructive commentary -- a great public service on behalf of the community. I will put Westlake on my bucket list -- thanks again!

Nice job! I am going to have to take another look around at the bushes in the side yard for patterns!

Greg, that is more ducks in one place than I have seen all season! Enjoy it!

Started with a Remington 1100 three inch magnum in 1976; still keep it handy to take to the blind as a backup when other folks' weapons don't work...and it shoots well for everybody. Went to an 1187 in 1988 to be able to use 2 3/4" shells in the dove field and have had it in and out of the...

Yep, it is a Kalash boat, transported down from Michigan in 1983 , if memory serves. I shipped out for Germany after that, so it spent most of its life in a buddy's tobacco barn down in North Carolina. Most bird activity it has seen was the nesting residue I took out of it when I retrieved it...

Worth, the Otters are shipped empty with an orange "butt plug" to seal the open tube in the body. I have filled some bigger birds with a permanent concrete/sand mix for sea duck duty, and put only enough sand to provide ballast in some puddle ducks. You could haul them in empty, then fill them...

Ed. years ago a couple of us were involved in starting a chapter up near West Point, NY. We found the things that really drew interest were the "unique" kinds of things that weren't offered elsewhere. Teaming with some local conservation groups and some of the State guys, we auctioned off...

Would love to have one to complete my collection -- can have a check in the mail to you today! Let me know, thanks, R T Brinn

Any L L Bean brant?

Where do I send the check today for the Southern Decoys and the Johnson/Coppedge books? Shipping to my zip code 20151 (Northern Virginia)? Best, Rufus Brinn

Howard, as Ben Franklin used to say "A good conscience is a continual Christmas" and you should be enjoying the holiday, despite the circumstances. After watching your builds on this website, there was never a doubt regarding the role of the boat itself. Glad it worked out and the season...

Scott, thanks -- great reply and lots of questions answered with the knot pics. You don't give continuing education course credit for internet waterfowling training, do you? Thanks, Rufus

As an alternative, go to Knutson's Discount Decoys, knutsondecoy.com and click under "duck decoys", then "sea ducks" ... you will find Carrylite brant there available in different quantities. Expensive, but they work fine and are ready right out of the box while you are looking for an heirloom...

PM sent.

Please send pics of the cork and cedar bluebills to kim.brinn@verizon.net. Thanks!

I have an old South Bay boat whose wooden grass rails need to be replaced...what type of plastic do you use to make your rails? Any particular pattern in use? My boat has a one inch oak strip atop nylon spacers that are screwed through into the deck. Thanks!

Nice shots! Aircraft in question appears to be a Douglas Skyraider, a Navy attack bird that flew for about 30 years for our Navy, our Air Force, and a number of other nations.
