    Favorite picture from this season

    No, that picture was snapped 10-12 minutes post harvest. It was just frozen in a funky position. Whole story is here; http://duckboats.net/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=277732;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread

    That's a wrap

    Thanks everyone! Zane - Yes, that is an LL Bean Pintail that Mr Sanford has redone. The Auto5 in the picture was manufactured in 1996, while it's my newest Auto5, it is not a new humpback Benelli :) I thought you might like that shot. You'll have to forgive the all black "fence post"...

    Hunting Jacket recommendations

    Mine is not lined. When temps get below 20 I layer a Filson Guide vest (similar to the old waterfowler sweater) over a base layer and wool button up shirt.

    Hunting Jacket recommendations

    If that question is directed at me, I have the 635 which is the Tin Cloth Waterfowl/Upland coat. It's no longer made.

    That's a wrap

    Normally I do a "season's over" post, mostly pictures with some prose on how the season went. Not many pictures this year... Our third child, my little girl, was born on the 2nd of September. A great day, my wife was/is thrilled to have another girl around and I was/am thrilled as eveyone...

    The odds were against us, but I have a new favorite duck related hunting picture... with 7 minutes to go in my season; this guy came into the decoys.

    Hunting Jacket recommendations

    NO! Drake is warm and cozy, but in no way waterproof or even resistant... For me it's a Filson 635, wax it every year.

    Favorite picture from this season

    The central Indiana zone goes out this weekend so there's a chance I'll get a picture to top my favorite(s) but it's highly unlikely for a number of reasons... My favorite duck related picture; With our third child being born on September 2nd, I missed all of dove, teal, and our early split, it...

    eye screw for herters 81?

    Yes, they were on the flat bottom bodies for sure. I can't remember if the brass came on the old Herter's, with external keel. I sold a bunch of heads with those screws not too long ago. If memory serves, they were smaller in diameter; maybe 3/16's. That's more of a guess than and educated...

    Temperature Maps tells the Migration Story

    I'm going to have to cut my grass this weekend, for the second time this month. I don't think I've cut it after Thanksgiving, ever.

    16 Professionally coated Herters

    $200 + shipping ($20-30) 14 burlapped #72 puddler bodies; 13 have the flat bottom with internal weight, so they self-right but move in the slightest breeze. 1 has the external weighted keel. 2 trestle coated #63 puddlers; these also have flat bottoms with internal weights. These have the old...

    Call Reccomendation?

    If it's just for Gadwall, Haydel's makes a Gadwall call that's cheap. Buy it and a DR-85 and you're all set. They used to package them together, not sure if they still do. EDIT; they do... http://haydels.com/product/dp-05-duck-pack/

    Does anyone have Experience hunting with Browning Semi-Auto Shotguns?

    Weather and moisture will have no affect (or is it effect) on the Auto 5. It's one of my favorite firearms, if you decide not to buy the Mag with Invector barrel please send me the link. It's been 7 years since I've fired a gas powered auto, all of my guns are either doubles, pumps or...

    Blind Whining

    Get a handle on it now or it will get progressively worse. EDIT* You beat me to it... I believe that vocalization is genetic and some dogs are predisposed to it, but all can learn to be quiet. It's your job to teach, then consistently reinforce the correct behavior, and correct the wrong...

    Steel Shot performance question

    I normally shoot Drylocks if I am shooting steel, but I have subbed Fasteel. They patterned and performed well, 2.75" or 3" 1.25 oz is my choice, as I generally try to keep the velocity below 1500, those really fast shells don't pattern as well for me.
