does the cedar need to dry, or has it been stacked long enough to carve? thanks, Tom

I have a schoolboy soccer team visiting in late August 2011 from Newcastle (Geordie land)...can toss anything needed into the return team kit bags, you can suss out the connection in UK? I'll be bringing players into Ireland early August, if posting from Galway fits your needs. Give a shout if...

are there 5 "low heads" and only one "high head"?

Chris, have a few boxes, paper shells, and found they can be shipped UPS. Question I had was when did US companies stop making 2 9/16" shells? Have a couple marked 16ga 2 9/16" Magnum. You'd mentioned wanting something from the 20's...just can't be sure mine are that old. Someone out there...

nice looking rig...

well, that looks like a Soule era head...I've epoxied (sp?) the butts back on a few birds, held with long nails, broken just like your photo...decoys have held up ok after sealing.

Post photos of the heads, members could tell you right away. Soule birds back in the 50s, 60s, 70s, had pinned dowels through the head and keel. "Snakey heads" would be a clue, as is the quality of pressed cork (few voids). In earlier days, George sealed the birds with shoe glue, then just the...

I think the Connecticut Waterfowlers Association logo is an old squaw (er, long tail duck) - not sure what hats/shirts are available, maybe a member can add info?

Bill, nice to hear you are still getting out and about...miss your visits at KTP. Will catch you in the Adirondacks one of these days...

am guessing you refer to "black" or "pressed cork" birds? Binding of cork bits (unlike white cork) can be inconsistent - less a defect, more to do with grade of pressed cork. You'll see some with big voids, other companies (used to) use higher grade cork, few voids (like Soule era LLBean, Bill...

I think sinkboxes are still legal in Canada? Heard it's effective, but can be a bit scary in harsh weather...

Did the same today Bill...rain hasn't stopped since last night, buckets coming down, can't see anything in the air. Maggie's first love, chipmunks, aren't even moving.

Is Long Point still in existence? Looks like a real gem, thanks for the article.

Finally had time to clean and scape dirt and paint, found the serial number on my Ducker where you said it'd be...thanks!

thanks for the suggestion, checked it out this morning, no luck...will keep looking. Stamped right into the boat, or on a plate like the "Alumacraft" logo riveted in?

Hank gave me info as to where his Ducker's # is...no luck on this boat. Perhaps different years had them in different places? Have looked all over my Ducker, can't find a number anywhere...what am I missing? Former owner is 85 years old, wasn't any help. Alumacraft label on one end is in good...

Sounds like a good day out. The look on Kyle's face says it all. Neat boat, using a double blade paddle?

To All, thanks for a friendly, informative day...saw Scott's aluminum BBS, very solid and more room than I'd thought; Decoy "competition" was in good spirit, a nice welcome from all club and CWA members. Was nice to get a bit of insight from Rich Chmiel on his blackduck rig I've used for 10...

Are directions, from north, 395 South to Route 2 West, then Exit 22, followed by a couple turns to the club - is it that simple? Google map has a couple .3 mile Easts and Wests mixed in there 'round Norwich? Bringing rain gear, that's what everybody says...

Had four slices of pizza on a stool by computer, got up to answer a phone, and walked around while talking...return to find two slices on plate, and flat coat retriever Maggie laying by the stool, just the end of her tail wagging...hmmm. Smart dog, or not enough time to finish off the plate?
