    Flying Decoys on Float Rig

    I made one similar to that a few years ago, except with a y board configuration. It worked well on Eider.

    Winchester Ammo "Rebate" Hoops. I.

    For what its worth, because I hunt a lot of salt water the brass on my shells gets rusty if I leave them in the box (to the point they won't cycle). I will throw the shells in a quart sized zip lock bag, and then spray them lightly with CLP. Eliminates the rust issue, and might eliminate the box...

    Absolutely shocking the difference in a year

    I still have to blink twice when I see you talking about woodcock in Florida...But if you saw any, that's great! I only saw two during season in Maine this year, and just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on either. hopefully the birds will like that new growth, and repopulate!

    duckboats.net is 10 (now 20). Can you believe it?

    Wow, 20 years. Seems like it can't be true until I think back about all I have learned, and all the wonderful people I've met through this site. But twenty years? That would make me... Never mind, I'm still younger than Sutton!

    Making home made ice eater???

    Mike, I haven't seen the design, but my first thought would be can you cut off the top instead of the bottom? That way you wouldn't have to touch the factory seal?

    Hello, Materials, and Plans question.

    Eric, The only plans I am aware of for scull boats are for a merrymeeting style in John Gardners Classic Small Craft book.

    Old School Long-Line molding

    Don't oil it! If the hot lead hits the oil you'll have an explosion on your hands, or lead spatter at the very least! The different rates of expansion between the lead and the cast iron should let it fall out of the pan when cool.

    Banks Boats and Duck Water Boats

    Werner, I cant say anything about either boat, but some advice I can give regarding the Wrangler Unlimited. I would be very careful pushing the 3500lb GVW with it. I have one now that I tow a 1100-1200lb teardrop with, and every hill is a challenge! I love the vehicle for everything else, but it...

    Old patina

    I have used Briwax dark over acrylic with good results. Beware though, it can remove the paint on a fresh paint job! This can be used to get an antiqued effect but you can overkill pretty quick too.

    Good cheaper over under?

    Paul, On a whim last spring I purchased a CZ Mallard from Bud's Gun Shop online (because my local retailer couldn't find one) and couldn't be happier with it. My initial desire for it was based on the fact that it has double triggers , a plus for me, but the fit and finish is well beyond what I...

    Double Barrels for Ducks

    Eric, on a whim this year I picked up a CZ Mallard. The Mallard is their least expensive O/U, but it has double triggers, and I couldn't pass it up. I was pleased with it right out of the box, and the more time I spend with it, the more I like it. The triggers felt a little rough at first but...

    A skin on frame BBSB

    I did a Yostwerks kayak skin on frame a couple years ago, and was surprised by the rigidity once it was all together. The nylon and coating is a lot stronger than I thought it would be as well. I am SLOWLY putting together a Widgeon now, so it's interesting so see your combination. Do you know...
