i am certainly no expert but layouts were developed for big water. wouldn't a sneakbox - with its low profile and manual as well as power propulsion be better suited to a marsh these two boats evolved for a reason like i said - i'm no expert - but i think many of the old timers were i've...

my opinion - which is worth about as much as I have ever been paid for it- is a working decoy is a decoy, a decorative "decoy" is sculpture - and that is not meant to demean the art or artists - many of them are truly beautiful works of art - but you know the raised feathers and details...

LOL - i once said the same thing long ago about a show on Pennsylvania Longrifles - artsy urbanites discussing the rococo influences and such. Practical men built practical tools- they also happened to have an eye for form as well as function. I am glad to see them saved but sometimes...

as a new first time owner- you might want to look for a retriever training/hunt test club in your area - training with other folks and dogs has some advantages there are many dozen good books and some DVDs that I have liked- Richard Wolter's books - Gun Dog, Water Dog etc, are old classics...

divers - especially cans - on Chesapeake Bay or the Susquehanna Flats a few spots on Lake Erie would also fit the list

interesting but now that we Atlantic flyway hunters are limited to two blacks and TWO mallards - with them on par, i wonder if the distinction should be as critical as it was back when you could only have one black and four mallards - there was more of an incentive then to consider a hybrid...

Eric I'm sure you'll enjoy your hunt - lots of waterfowl history there.

i do also shoot damascus waterfowl guns, Parkers and and British. My only Belgium gun is a nice quality Henri Pieper made in 1877 - light and fast handling, I love carrying it in woodcock covers But I do hand load - really, hand load, measure each powder and shot charge - low pressure...

just a couple points Rob the transition to smokeless began in the last quarter of the 1800's and smokeless was the norm by WWI Winchester's Super X heavy progressive burning load was introduced in 1922 IMHO picking WWII as a marker may be a little misleading - there were many well...

with the snow on the ice - it will take a bit, there is limited moving water in the marsh - so, i have been thinking the same thing - trout or maybe steelhead

I feel for you - the marsh i hunt is under snow and ice i could not get out Saturday for the second split opener but the pre storm report was way more birds than normal but they stayed high and wouldn't work. hoping for the forecasted warm up next week and some ice breaking

the new season template in the western zone of upstate NY has an early first split that ends early November - the second split just opened this past weekend along with a strong cold front and day time temps at freezing or below- we are frozen out of the marsh for now. only the guys with big...

i should add that I switched to the duck ring tone because, with my hearing, i could never tell if the standard ring sound was my phone or someone else's nearby so I browsed through the available tones, found the duck one and figure - problem solved the next day we were in a store and i heard...

funny i have the same ring tone and once looked for the duck coming in when it was in fact only my phone muffled inside my waders

in the area of Montezuma Refuge in Upstate NY, close in location (but certainly not in class [;)] ) to where I hunt just listed for sale https://www.bloomberg.com/pursuits/property-listings/for-sale-clyde-ny-united-states-savannah-dhu-10723270 hmm - Mega Millions lottery drawing is tonight...

i shoot the Kent in my heavy doubles, (9900psi for the 12ga 1 1/4) not too worried about the Model12 Heavy Duck but 13K is well above the last SAAMI specs that I knew of I do wonder if that quote is 100% accurate, but its from someone I have no reason to doubt its always...

OK this just in on the Fox board OUCH - that is a bit much for me in an old double "I contacted BOSS Shotshells last night and this is what they told me. We set our 12 and 20?s with a max pressure of 13,000 psi at room temp."

yeah, those cartoons are lost culture today - they were declared too violent years ago my daughter sent me that, but she grew up with Looney tunes because i still loved them. She has a video of her oldest daughter when she was about 3 with a plastic Bugs Bunny in one hand and Daffy Duck...
