    New Rig

    Yes it gets up and goes with the 25 on the back. My dad is really pleased with the performance. I believe the original estuary II hulls were set up to run 15hp but Dave had them re-certified for up to 25.

    New Rig

    Now that the season us upon us here in NJ and the Tuckerton show is over I figured I would share a few pictures of my dad's new rig. He wanted to have a two man boat built that could handle bigger water crossings but still have the ability to hide well as we are puddle duck hunters. He settled...

    I was the second owner of this boat, served me well for many years. Good luck with the sale.

    Duck Hunter Surveys

    I have done both in the past, I believe they only ask you a few years in a row before taking a break. Last year I was chosen for the survey and record of daily harvest, this year I did the wings. I also helped out the local federal biologist and saved carcasses for him for avian flu swabbing.

    Seasons just keep ending

    Awesome stuff Tod. I've been gradually going through all my duck from this season making snack sticks and this weekend I made my first foray into italian sausage. Everything has been so good I'm kicking myself for outsourcing it in the past. A great way to spend time between the end of duck...

    Be safe all of you up in the path of this snow storm!

    18" down here on the Jersey Shore, got my last licks in for duck season yesterday prior to the snow.

    Season recap...

    Tod I bought a little wand-like metal detector on Amazon for finding pellets. Works great for steel, not as great for bismuth and unfortunately that's what I'm shooting these days. Hasn't presented an issue yet as I've been double grinding breasts for sausage and snack sticks and I'm very...

    Black Ducks and Black Dogs...

    Was nice talking to your brother the other day, he told me about that pintail but great to see the pic!

    Decoy spread

    Greg basically said it all. When it's mild like it's been you are going to have a tough time decoying birds unless you are doing everything perfect and are where they want to be. When it gets mild like this I go to my areas that the birds are always going to for food, water or rest. You need...

    Killing Cripples Quickly and Humanely

    I've had two scotch doubles this week shooting #4 bismuth out of my 20 gauge so that's at least one way to make it more efficient! Also folded a snow goose at 45 yards with the 20 the other day too, the boss stuff continues to impress me.

    Yamaha 25hp Two Stroke Electric Start Question

    Eric, on mine it is mounted on the lower front side of the shifter box on the tiller.

    Killing Cripples Quickly and Humanely

    I switched to the copper plated bismuth last season, shooting exclusively 20 gauge #4s and I found that I cripple far less birds than with steel. Is it worth the massive upcharge? I'll leave that up to the end user. I'll have to pay closer attention to the bismuth shattering on bone contact...

    Advice needed - soft fitting to run gas line through afterdeck

    Steve a fitting for a VHF or radar cable, if large enough, might work. They have a rubber insert you can cut to size.

    Question

    Lots to unpack in this post! In regards to shooting the barrel hot, we've all had those days, I can't speak for other hunters and anecdotal internet postings. For me it's dealing with cripples that I start to see my shell counts dwindle, not as much of an issue since I switched to shooting...

    Who else was at Saw Mill today (hot day)

    If you like mud and skybusters it's great! The juice ain't worth the squeeze no matter what DU magazine likes to print.

    Need help regarding hunting in Massachusetts

    I believe there's a use permit needed out of some Chatham ramps now, I've launched out of Pamet harbor and it's a $10 fee paid once you return to the ramp. But with NJ plates they literally were asking for the money as we were winching the boat onto the trailer and didn't want to wait until we...

    Need help regarding hunting in Massachusetts

    Ditto on making sure of the ramp and parking rules. I've done many fall bluefin trips on the cape and it's a great place, but the harbormasters don't fool around.

    Ammo

    I shot Boss exclusively this season out of my 20 gauge, performed great for me. I need to order more for next season and they have a one month lead time on case orders by the looks of it.
