Love the Damascus!!!

I'm the chairman of the Fresno CWA Dinner. We were the largest dinner in the state last year with 525 people. We sell out every year and don't really try to sell tickets. We charge $75/man or $125/couple and have an open bar. My advise for what it's worth: Make it different than every...

I'd give anything for some of your weather. We had mid 70's here last week. Got cold and rainy over the weekend with about an inch of rain and 38 degrees one morning. While that may sound great to you, we are having a terrible drought. Hundreds of wells have gone dry, lawns and yards are...

I'd run a test. Just a time or two put the bigfoots out in pit blind and see how they work. Then go to the effort and put some stuffers at a hedgerow blind. That will tell you if it's the decoys or the hedgerow.

I went there for my honeymoon many years ago. The Buschart Gardens are really pretty. But my favorite was the small town of Tofino. Quiet little fishing town on the water. Hire a guide and salmon fish for a day and/or just hike in the beautiful woods

We had a really cold day here last week that everyone one was talking about. We had a 20 MPH wind and 34 degree temps. Man it was cold - had to put a Columbia shell over the polar fleece - brrrr. Then every 5-10 years we'll get a big cold snap with morning temps in the low 20's and the ice in...

One more tip. Selling trips in your auction is much better than selling things. It's very hard to get artwork, guns, decoys, etc cheap enough to make a good profit and anyone who has been to a few dinners has already got a bunch of that stuff. Find people with boats, private land, vacation...

Do a Free Raffle. Get 2-3 different prizes in the $500-$700 price range ( maybe a 9mm pistol, an AR rifle, a shotgun, a big screen TV, etc). Get items that apply to different people but only give away one item. Set 300 tickets on a table upside down. On the bottom of each ticket there is a...

If you are price conscious, the Big Chief is a great little smoker. Used one for years and had great results. I now use a traeger pellet stove and love it. I use it on High to cook burgers, steaks, chicken, Medium for ribs, or put it on low to smoke all kinds of wild game.

I'd be happy to hunt ANYTHING that would provide a new experience. Might be able to work in Austria, Switzerland, or the Netherlands if that helped?

Fixed it.

I'm thinking about a family vacation with a couple days of hunting mixed in. Anyone here have any information on such an adventure?

If you've got a whole month, make the three day drive to Cali. We've got divers out the ying yang and little competition. Three days to make it back home would leave you at least 15 days of hunting. And 7 duck limits right in Pelosi's back yard.

If anyone wants some fronds shipped to them, I'm happy to help. Let me know what you want. I'll cover all costs, all I ask is for a decoy in return

Really? I've moved and changed jobs since you were here last. Send me an email and come on down. Are you in WA or FL now? If FL, where? I'll be there soon to harpoon a gator. Might let you buy me a beer!

If you want Cinnamons, you should head to the southern half of California. Plenty of cinnamons and greenwings here plus a boatload of shovelers. Call me if you're interested in coming.

As others have said, subsonic rounds are needed for them to be effective. But I can tell you that they are nothing short of amazing on rabbits with a .22. The one time I used one, the gun was much quieter than a Red Rider bb gun and I thought it was malfunctioning. When you shot a rabbit, the...

TAB The Adaptable Boat

There's a lot of quacks in this state (both kinds). Merced county is almost always in the top two of birds killed per county in the whole country. Hunting is just starting to get good now with the cold weather coming in, only getting up to about 65 today :-) But if you like big boats breaking...

We've got our problems and loonies, that's for sure. But we are pretty tough to beat for duck hunting.
