    Rasps

    A little story. My hunting buddy and I started hunting together and got some freezer cork and proceeded to carve a few decoys. His father was a caretaker and lived on the estate. We were using horse shoe rasps [free]. The wife came to the garage to get her car and saw us working and asked what...

    Euthanized geese in Alabama HOA community question

    I don't think the resident goose season on long island is effective. Open up the first 10 days of the season for 6 geese, close it down for the split and go back to 2 geese. You may shoot a few migrant birds, but mostly resident birds. I shot the residemt season once, never again.

    U-bolt installation for Bow Eye - Your thoughts?

    Steve, I don't like to use plywood for backers. Wood gets compressed over time. I use stainless, never tried compressed glass as Eric suggested. You said there will be no load on the eyes, should be ok.

    100:1 vs 50:1???

    I've had many evinrudes over the years. All new to me motors. Always used 50-1 mix on all. Story, a friend found a 18hp that wouldn't run well, new 100-1 mix. He and the original owner put in a 25-1 mix of oil. Just a little math problem, now that it's all straight the motor is still running,

    How young is too young...

    When you bring child hunting, make sure they are warm. Bring them in the pm, favorite book or electronics so if they get bored they can keep busy. Be ready to leave if they get cranky. This is supposed to be fun. Handeling guns depends on child and parent, some I wouldn't agree with. SAFETY...

    April Workbench

    Kevin, you not be mounting the gun well while sitting. Take your cell and do a video of yourself shooting. Also try a slip on pad. The pitch could also be a problem, pitch spacer in the slip on will work. Happy hunting...

    Gunning decoy rig

    I gunned small tidal marshes with my southbay. I would use 5-6 mallard/blackducks, maybe 1-2 geese [if there were flocks around]. Match the hatch, if you see 4-5 birds in the area, copy them. Only used bigger rigs on open bays.

    Long Island Waterfowling Traditions DeQuillfeldt Family

    Anthony, great look back into the heritage of gunning on long island. Hope it will be preserved and documented in a museum. So much gets lost and thrown away. I have a marsh box that was said to be made at the old Tupper Boat House in Southampton, was made for the Frankenbach rig in southampton.
