Jode, That is one mighty fine rail skiff. Ya got me when I read "All mahogany and white cedar". I look forward to your progress reports. I know it will be Top Shelf when your done. Best regards Vince

You did good Carl. Yum Yum Eatem Up! No fly fishing for me yet cuz of a foot injury, but hopefully soon. I'm well past the large fish stage in my life. In Geezerhood large fish especially if ya catch and release are a PITA. Not good for the fish or the human. Small to mid size fish are just...

If everything is as it should be, matching #, not adjusted for excess wear, etc. The no rib, no checkering, and corn cob fore IS the the model 12 that works the best. The full choke is among the best ever made right up there with the Old Browning Auto 5, 12ga., Mag. No choke tubes can touch em...

MICHAEL BLOOMFIELD If You Love These Blues Play 'em As You Please Finishing up painting a Moor Hen decoy, and this CD fits the time & space of the day.

Brad, I appreciate your knowledge and input on this subject. 1995 was the the first year that I hunted SASK after years of hunting in Manitoba, Ontario, ND & SD. My hunting partners in PA had been going to SASK for 20 years before I did. 1995 was the first year that nonresidents could hunt...

Adam, I stand corrected thank you.

Adam, That is all well and good. Waste Not Want Not. We have a program like that here for venison. My question IS when you donate the meat/breasts Is One Wing Attached to the Breast as the law states? This was a major issue when we wanted to have birds processed and have them smoked while...

OK I gotta chime in again cuz I can't help it. At one time SASK was very good at enforcing the laws that were on the books. In many cases a Mountie would accompany SASK Wildlife officers during game checks. My hunting partner and I went through that more than once. When that did happen you know...

I'm glad to say that my hunting partner and I did Not fall into the 85% of non resident hunters category. The beauty and allure of staying many weeks and enjoying ourselves with no rush or pressure was fantastic. As I wrote prior the war on snow geese changed that. In fact we began to not hunt...

Bob, Glad to read that your getting back to better health, and your productive lifestyle. Keep On Keepin' On! Best regards Vince

My goodness how Stupid can those guys be to hunt with safety Off. I have hunted pheasants for over 60 years in lots of places. Worked on a Game Farm that taught me better than anything else about shooting pheasants. First - They fly LOW damn near all the time. Second - You have more than enough...

Bob, That certainly was a doozy of a decoy auction. I took down off the shelf the The Rare Decoy Collection of George Ross Starr, Jr.,MD, Richard Bourne auction catalog from May 2 & 3, 1986. The Joe Lincoln drake Wood Duck drake sold for $205,000 at that auction. It sold for $1,260,000 at the...

From a young age I planned to do it over my lifetime, not in one year. My belief was that I would enjoy it more over a longer span of time. So far it has worked. I've had a Big Life in that regard. my 2 cents

Mark, My hope is that NY goes to a all day hunt in the Spring at least part of the season as PA and other states have done. The latest that I've killed a gobbler is 11:50 am. My in at full dark days for Spring turkey are just about over. I have plenty of enjoyment from 8am until noon. It is...

Sunfish/Bluegills & Crappies my favorite Food Fish. Ya did good. Spring turkey hunting and fishing go hand in hand. That said many a gobbler is killed late in the morning and especially if ya gotta stop hunting at noon. "Stick and Stay it's bound to pay." More than once I've had to leave the...

I was fortunate that my mentors were all WWII vets (this was prior to safety courses). Handling guns in a safe manner was first and foremost with zero tolerance for errors, and strict supervision. I shot my first pheasant at age 9, with a .410, on a game farm with my 3 cousins and our mentors...

Dave, That makes me smile Big Time. The man knew his stuff inside and out. Best regards Vince

For those that are interested google Roger Latham. On more than one occasion Mr. Latham stayed at a hunting camp on German Hill near Tionesta, PA. The camp was owned by a very good friend of my uncle Frank and in the 1960's and 1970's I was at that camp often. Not that many miles away is Game...

One of the first things that Ben Rogers Lee told my cousin and I was. "Never ever use a light. Use your night vision." Thank goodness my night vision has been good, but like all things ya gotta work at it to get it, and keep it. Yes I do carry a good light as a "just in case emergency tool"...
