Community @ duckboats.net, Please find attached a letter in response to my correspondence, from the Honourable Darlene Rowden, Minister of Environment. RM https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:US:dac91bb6-577a-4503-bf21-4c38a9119458

My wife always accuses me of being too black and white so I am chuckling to myself about defending the grey area on tire pressure. Case in point: My Poleboat needed a trailer and the best fit was a PWC trailer. Recommended tire pressure meant the trailer was in the air more than it touched the...

Interesting topic. I think the confusion, at least for me, is when the sidewall differs from the trailer manufacturers recommendation. Nevertheless, I have an open mind so I searched and found this...

Maybe the better question is what tires are high pressure? Motorcycle and semi tires are the only ones that come to mind and I was always meticulous with the correct pressure in those cases. When we purchased our toy hauler I asked this very question. The techs pretty much shrugged. So much for...

Henry, How do you mitigate the rough ride? Your transom has to be worth protecting as well. I'm not sure why the experts feel that the label for recommended tire pressure on the trailer is a bad recommendation. Isn't the maximum pressure just that; the maximum allowed with a reasonable...

For automobile tires I have used a combination of the 4psi rule and what the door sticker says. Trailer tires I have always used the tire pressure indicated by the manufacturer decal located on the inside of the frame. I have tried the maximum tire pressure but damn, it rides like a rock wagon...

MT, Agreed; I used to love hunting big game in Alaska until I could not justify the prices any more. Back in the day, a guided trip to Alaska was between $1,000-$1,500 per day for a ten day guided trip. Now they are charging that per day for pheasant hunting in the Dakotas. Having said that, we...

John, Welcome to duckboats.net. The reason you are unable to post is likely because you do not have thirty or more posts. This is a great site and I am sure that once you become engaged with some of the content, that they will rack up quickly. Maybe a quick introduction to let us know a little...

Graham, Welcome, you came to the right place. I started duck hunting about five years ago as well. Great fun; wish I would have started much sooner. RM

I have seven of David's calls and have killed turkeys with all of them. His Metal Mouth pot call has probably accounted for the most and is easiest for a beginner to learn to use. If you looking for a box call, his long box is pure turkey. RM

Henrick, Before you know it you'll be buying David Halloran turkey calls...Glad you are enjoying yourself! I'm having more fun now than all my big game adventures combined. They really are a worthy adversary. RM

Henrick, There are times when a decoy is indispensable, especially field hunting. Add it to your bag of tricks. If nothing else, it's fun to watch a turkey beat the snot out of your decoy. RM

Happened to my wife's uncle. Perfect 12 gauge hole through his International Scout floorboards. RM

Henrick, We still had a great hunt; just didn't end like we had hoped. On a positive note, we learned alot and were able to try a few tactics that we've only read about. One turkey that would not commit would pace back and forth; sometimes 50 yards away, then 100 yards. So we thought we would...

Knocked Down But Not Out; Black Hills Recap: Saturday morning Heather and I were greeted with an unexpected development: logging taking place in one of our favorite areas. How this would affect the turkeys we didn't know but we were about to find out. Sure enough, our first morning we were...

(Proverbs 22:6 KJV) Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Right on! Probably the most neglected gun handling safety rule. Over the years I've encountered numerous individuals who insist on carrying a gun with the safety off when pheasant...

Todd, The Kara was my first build and it has served me well but it has some serious limitations. Personally I would not take it out in anything more than very light chop. There is very little freeboard which I found unsettling. In my opinion you would be better served with one of Sam Devlin's...

Mattias, For years I used a very thick epoxy like yours. Recently I switched to one of the non-blushing boutique boat building resins. Couldn't believe how much easier it was to work with. If it's any consolation, the thicker epoxy resins are usually substantially stronger albeit much harder to...
