    Waterfowl wealth

    Wealth of experience in the field. I have lots of fond memories of bringing my boys up in waterfowl hunting. I started taking them at age 2 out in the field and I wasn't shy on taking pictures. I had the opportunity to travel up and down the western US with them and some excellent hunts...

    Dream Gun

    Without knowing any history on the client, it can be a difficult one to pick from. Is the gift going to be a shooter and used or a office decoration piece. I ask, as I see some really fancy guns on display in peoples homes that don't get used. I always have clients shoulder the shotgun and...

    Duck Hunter Surveys

    I did it for 3 years in a row and then I started get them every year it seemed. I finally stopped sending them in. It became to much work as I was spending close to 100 days afield.

    Seasons just keep ending

    Looks good. Is that a convert chest freezer? Are you using a thermostate to drop the temp to specified temp while you dry or age the sausage?

    Wood Duck nesting box - material?

    I looked on CL for free material and was able to get enough wood scraps to build several boxes. You can also cruise through any manufacturing facilities, many times they have packaging crate material that may also work. They may give it to you if asked vs. placing in dumpsters.

    Trap gun recommendations

    I shoot the BT-99. I have purchased the Briley Chokes for it. Usually shoot an IM and F from the 27yard line. My son took 1st place at districts with his BT-99. A great gun for shooting singles. If you stretch your spend some, you can get into some good O/U trap shotguns. This will give...

    Frozen to the trailer!

    Just remember if you install the teflon or plastic on the bunks, keep the strap and chain connected until in the water. If you unattach it at the top of the ramp, your boat will either stick when it hit the ramp or go sliding all the way down to the water. The ramp/ road rash will be harsh on...

    Would you be better off with an aluminum Duckwater based on the water logging and resin issues of the TDB or Bankes?

    Wow, never done that before

    Nice decoy. I had the oppotunity to visit a local decoy collection. It was a very nice collection with many high dollar pieces. They now sit in a museum that the late Jay Koetje built on his property. It's quite the collection of decoys, calls and other waterfowl relics.

    Found shells

    The panic buying has people buying a little extra this season as most don't expect any shells to be available come end of November. Many of the clubs around where I am are buying extra cases of shells which also doesn't help the supply. I went into one of the gun clubs and they had a half...

    Aqaupod?

    I am in NW Washington and about 20 minutes from the salt. It should be good as lot of the northerns that start arriving about the 3rd week of Oct. hit all the fields. We have a lot of corn planted in the Skagit Valley, so it should hold the birds pretty good for us. Between the 3 counties...

    Decoy weights

    I purchased an egg style mold and poured my own weights. I ran a drill bit through the holes as they were a bit tight for line I had. Otherwise they have worked great.

    Aqaupod?

    I have two of the aquapods. They have been great for hunting out of. Not sure they are still in business. I asked my buddy to check as he lives down in Ridgefield, WA where they are made.

    air rifles

    I have a RWS 460 Magnum and it has worked great on small animals and evasive birds. I picked up a new FX air rifle and it blows the RWS out of the water. It is a pneumatic one and I have an additional air tank to fill it. I get tight groups out to 60 yards and can shoot it accurately out to...

    Ammo

    I have found some ammo at Wal Mart a few times over the last 3 weeks. It's the same guys morning after morning that are standing in line buying everything they can. They now have a 3 box limit or you would still have empty shelves. I think they are re-selling the stuff on the internet. I...

    Mossberg bantam

    I started both of my boys with a Benelli M2 youth compact. Best choice I could have made. Not to much weight in the front end. Easy to swing and light on the recoil. Prior to that I tried several other models they struggled with. Mosberg Bantum, Remington Youth 870 pump, Remington LT-20...
