Interesting Rick, I talked with Tom Armrest (Ballistic Research), and he tested e-shot for them aprox. 3yrs ago, and did not have fracturing in his testing. Makes one wonder if they changed their recipe.

Kieth, unfortunately Kent Matrix is unavailable for reloading. I have friends who pickup various Kent matrix shells at gun shows and remove the shot so it can be loaded in their own shells.

It is much easier to find an upland double than a heavy 12a fluid steel double, although over-unders are more available than s/s. But it it is worth the effort to find one, because you can get reliability lacking in autos. Two trips with Benelli auto shooters had 4 out of 6 with...

In addition to ITX or Bismuth, Buck Run offers E-Shot, a non-tox using the same load data as lead loads. By the way, E-Shot is cheaper than ITX or Bismuth!

If pressures are a concern, you can send shells to Ballistic Research (not to be confused with Ballistic Products), and you will get a pressure and speed report back. Load data based on math or cyber experts can be dangerous. I got a load from a reload guru that was of by 5000psi over max for a...

Bill, my hunting partner bought a pudelpointer several years ago from Rock Creek Kennels in Minnesota and is very happy with his dog. He researched pointing breeds that could also retrieve in cold water, and felt the pudelpointer was the best choice. He was right the dog does a great job in a...

Gary, great to have you and your pics back. I keep your old photo essay in a back issued waterfowl magazine on the shelf in my porcelain "library", and enjoy the photos, especially the sneakbox pic with all the numbered cans stacked on the decks.

Craig, I sure do enjoy your footage. Quality is getting better and better. Hunting out of a BBSB and with wooden blocks is classic, now we just need to work on that para-military shotgun. hehe

Paul, I talked with a wooden boat restoring operation on what floor to put in my 19', and he said when he receives boats that sat on the bottom of a lake for restoration, and they have a tamarack wood floor, he just wipes of the scum and the floor is good to go, even when the rest of the boat...

Same thing happened a few years ago when feathers braided into women hair was the rage. My fly tying boxes were raided by all three of my daughters. They told me it saved them a fortune!

Jode, Pratt and Lambert have an oil based varnish that is called "Dull", I have used this as a sealer on my burnt blackbucks for years. they do require a new coat every couple of years. Looking forward to seeing your rig complete

Bob, are you a member or have you been a member of the Wooden Canoe Heritage Assoc. and did you know Cris Merrigold?

Thank you so much Eric, Chuck, and others along the way. The page and its format has enriched and given me much joy over the last 14 years. Not only through information garnered, but through relationships made. Some of my closest duck hunting friends were met through the site. God bless you...

Wisconsin Regulation: Canada Goose Permit Validation When a Canada goose is killed and before it is carried by hand or transported in any manner, the hunter who killed the goose must validate their Canada goose permit. For another person to have custody of your goose, besides validating...

Jeff, I have been using Elmers Wood Filler (interior/exterior)for years. It adds very little weight, yet is flexible with the cork and does not crack like Plastic Wood and some other fillers. I only fill large deep cracks on the body (the texture is one of corks big advantages), but stabilize...

Thanks for the nice comments. An Amish canvas shop helped with the sewing. The Watson Brother 10ga magnum, has London proofs.

Thanks Steve for all the help. Having never seen a spray dodger except in pictures, and having no idea how to set up buttons, ropes/leathers, horns, etc. on oars, as this knowledge has almost disappeared from the midwest ( no canvas shop knew what a spray dodger was and no marina new...

Does anyone no where you can get the olive green foam mattress sheets? I have been buying them from the Army Surplus store, however there seems to be a color change and I have the floor of my boat 1/2 done with olive. Thank you for any help. Mike

Tim, I'm going to try to put this mildly, but someone of your age should buy an electric trailer winch! (hehe)

I have always wanted to attend and will, but I am on vacation the middle of the month and "forced" to shoot live fliers the 2nd weekend for a dog trial.
