John, I'm sure many folks noted the difference in the quality of the decoys in my rig. You are spot on that 2 are not by my hand as they are much finer decoys than my corks. The hen in the right front is a decoy by Ian Feir and the hen behind that is by Bob Soulliere. I met Ian after his move to...

Pat I actually had 13. While Brad B has a few of my decoys he hasn't lifted one of the Ruddys. I donated one to a group that did a wounded warrior hunt and wanted to gift a decoy to each vet and a grandson talked me out of one. Wish I'd know about your event as I'd have gladly gifted one to that...

Yes sir, that is the SXS with the "Custom Beavertail Forend" from Ohio. :-) That custom piece of wood which was gifted to me has help to take many many ducks in several states out here to include these baby's! This gun was a great deal from a gun show. The stock had been cut nearly 4...

Yes sir, great stuff

Hi Pat...this thread interested me as years back I attempted to attract Ruddys on a lake I hunted which had a Ruddy presence during the season. They always flew around my diver rig reguardless if I was hunting from shore or lay out. I made this rig and was set.....I thought. They still flew...

for Brad B.....Whewwww. I thought maybe you took to the brown water or maybe you got kicked in the head by a mule or something. Glad to hear you are still sane. ;-) BTW no disrespect intended to those of you that climb the mountains. I would if I could. But after serving Uncle Sam some time...

Brad B you would actually stand in line to climb a mountain? OMG!

WOW. I'll miss that mess as I'm traveling. In MN right now. Will you be at the farm house for the weekend?

👍 my go to duck gun is an SXS Ithica/SKB 100 2 3/4 inch with 25 inch bbls. Had the full bbl opened to true mod as the mod bbl was measured IM. Single selective trigger. Wonderful duck gun with 1 1/8 oz of 3's or 4's at 1400 fps. I started shooting ducks with 2 barreled guns back in...

I'll start saving my aluminum cans!

Brad how about a picture of the American Tug you were on?

Yes Brad, I think both Pat and I dream of you retiring and inviting us onboard your converted tug for a few hunts at various places along the coast. We can all dream can't we? :-)

Yes it's a legit letter. I received one. It was widely reported here by the State Game Dept. as well as the local news sources. I don't think any unauthorized use has been detected......yet.

Hi George .... The original materials I used were Al tube and copper tube that fit a little loose so I had to solder a brass strip to the copper and then file it to fit. I also made the joint a little longer than necessary and that all added up to being a little heavier than necessary. I have...

I considered that before I posted these but after meeting Chuck at West Lake some years back I have decided that I could be in worse company. :-))

Thanks for the kind words Pat. I also have finished up 2 canvas Swans with removable heads. That has had a learning curve but I think I now have made the correct jig for boring the holes and the correct materials so future decoys will be easier.

3 cork and one hollow white pine ....... gunners in time for this season One is a donation to a local Great Falls, Mt fundraiser auction similar to "Make a Wish".

Not from NJ but I ordered mine last week from the USPS site and received them in 3 or 4 days

Thanks for the replys and I'll bet you are correct in saying it was a DCF post. Since I don't do face book I had all but forgotten about that forum. Thanks again ... I'll check out the suggestions

A while back...a year or so ?......there was a discussion of pencils and someone on here enlightened us with info on "Made in the USA" lead pencils that were way superior to some of the junk on the market. I have searched but can't find that information so.......can someone bring that info back...
