Actually both, but it depends on the gun and shells. My brother shoots his model 12 heavy duck full choke with steel all the time, generally not larger than 2's and has had no problems. In the larger pellet size there is less compacting of the shot possible which could ring buldge a barrell...

Is this the boat? Its on the duck boat specs page http://duckboats.net.nmsrv.com/specs/images/stalker.jpg This boat was made by a few different companies over the years, and believe its still being made in WI somewhere. I have owned one and my brother breifly owned one. He only sold his...

Those were the days when I needed more decoys than a couple dozen, i miss that. I have tried just about everything, electrical cord wrap, electrical cord spool with crank, bucket(that worked ok) But hands down when I ran long lines was the slotted decoy bags and leaving the lines attached...

Time to order more wood and paint, so I need to sell a few birds. These are carved and paint by me, made of high density cork, white cedar heads and Golden Paint, they all self right. The top bird hasn't been hunted over and the rest have seen minimal use. $300 for all plus shipping, will...

Market hunting happened everywhere, but I would imagine that Lake Superior wasn't a big business hub. There probably wasn't train loads of ducks shipped to chicago or Minneapolis, but they were sold to local markets. Redheads and Canvasbacks sold for 2-7 dollars a pair, where most other ducks...

Over the years I have made my active(swmming/high heads) lower profile and my resters and loafers ride higher on the water. Now I have scientific evidence for it. OP reminds me of my oldest niece, I carved her a redhead decoy and she painted it.That next year in ND she was on a hunt with...

When I got it home, we noticed the purple along the neck and a bit on the back and we then thought passenger pigeon. A hen does look close color wise, but would seem on the small side.

My bad, the story was in reference to the heron decoys in the "art of the Decoy" book. The only thing I know about this decoy was his dad was the owner of Carry- lite decoys, least so he said. The guy had 5 decoys, this shorebird, a daddy holly body with a cast aluminum seneca lake head...

I picked this shorebird up this last weekend as we were packing up my brothers booth Saturday. A guy was walking around with a few unkown to him decoys, this one was unkown to me as well, but I bought it anyway along with an early daddy holly decoy body. I know very little about shorebirds and...

I would love to find a turn of the century workbench out of a carvers shop, but I know thats going to be like a needle in a haystack. So I would like to see if anyone has pics of old timers shops, so I can get idea what they would have been using. I am looking to put it in house and use as...

Thats me in the 7th pic with my niece in my arms, too bad we didn't meet. I did get to meet Pat, Tim and Jim and it was very nice to chat with them. This was my first Henry show and was very impressed. I have a lot to learn about the midwest decoys, after attending MN, Edgerton and now Henry...

Never been to the Henry show. But I will be at my dads this weekend and I will take in Edgerton WI decoy show on Sat, then ride down with my brother for the henry show on sunday. After living on the east coast for 7 years and always having decoy shows to go to, I have been jonsing to get to...

Excellent Nate, this is one thing that is so important, when you get to a wall, take a few steps back. I do this all the time, even with older more advanced training like blood tracks this last summer. When she had a bad track, where the focus wasnt there or was difficult. the next week I...

She sounds like softer dog, and she was not coming back to you from the orginal nick because of the command/nick, but because of unkown nick, she was looking for a safe place. Your dog came back to you on the fetch because she was unsure from a few moments before why she got nicked when she was...

Devils lake area would not be my first choice for freelancing a hunt. I havent hunted the area in years primaily because of how much land is locked up with guides and leases. But the state as a whole is seeing in increase in posted land, farmers just getting sick and tired of all the hunters...

Hunting the main lake? man I would pick my days and pick my spots carefully whether a jon boat or sneak box. I havent hunted the big lake, but it can get windy here in ND and that lake can get nasty. Seems like people die every year around the state because people try to use small boats on...

I haven't made one for my boat, but this has no modifications to the boat. A friend did make one and says it works well.

Excellent guys.

There a decent spainish gun, not as refined as a ugartechea but at that price it would be a good shooter. I shoot steel in some of my old guns when chokes have been opened up, but I am leary in my uggie. Mike trudel may have more expereince with their guns, think he shoots a Zabala 10ga.

wolf....a rancher here in ND showed me his trail cam pic from this summer with one.
