So i haven't posted on here in a while because, honestly, i haven't duck hunted for a few years. Three years ago, my boat motor blew up, and two years ago, my father-in-law Vernon and my dog Bryant passed...and i just wasn't feeling it. Couple that with an eight-year-old who plays every sport...

Dani, We are in a very similar boat (I lost Bryant last year), and we have looked extensively around the mid-Atlantic region for a breeder with the right balance of size, health, and looks. It looks like we will be going with Twin Oaks Labradors on the eastern shore of MD...

Ugh...that's no fun (for either of you). Just take your time with the rehab, follow the protocol, and she should have a good recovery. My boy had that done twice (right leg at 18 mos and left at age 6). Full recovery from both and was jumping up into my truck within 6 months like nothing had...

Jim, I lost my Buddy Boy Bryant last September. Reading your post, I was right back in that room with him. Now I'm sitting here, right where you are...again. I'm glad you got to have that day with him. Time, my friend. It doesn't make it better, but it does make it less frequent. All the...

amen

Eric, been thinking about you since this broke. Im up at Aberdeen,and i do the safety and emergency action stuff for my company...worry about this all the time. stay safe, and hope its another false alarm!

Where to start? Duck related or non-duck related? We'll start with duck related..... 15 years ago my brother is in the Marine Corps and is stationed at Indian Head (at the confluence of the Mattawoman Creek and the Potomac River). Great duck hunting, so we go through all the steps necessary...

That's some very cool stuff....as a recovering teacher, I love seeing this stuff in the schools. BTW, if you think the 3D printing of composite guns is wild, check out the metal laser sintering process (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_metal_laser_sintering). My company has a metrology...

the big ones have been listed, and I absolutely agree. the museum that Rich mentioned in North East is the Upper Bay Museum, which Vernon Bryant has been instrumental in revitalizing. the hours are quirky, but i highly recommend it....not as big as Havre de Grace, but a short drive from it, so...

I drove an ecoboost last week, and the power was impressive. However, the price tag, coupled with my archaic fears about squeezing that much power out of a 3.5L and my snobbish dislike for Ford styling , have driven me back into the arms of Government Motors. I'm going to look at a...

Ray, my brother has the Tundra. Overall, he likes it, but there have been some maintanance issues (mainly brakes) and there is no cab/bed configuation that meets my needs. The biggest problem is that I'm 6'6", and the driver set-up in that truck just isn't comfortable for me. In answer to...

Thanks guys...i really appreciate all the input. Also about what i figured: lots of good experiences and varying opinions. I think i'm going to have to continue to chew on this for a while...luckily, i don't need to do anything until early fall/late summer, but I'm ready to jump if the right...

Before I launch into this....yes, I know how big a box I'm opening here, and that Pandora is squatting comfortably in the bottom of it. However, rather than beat my head against the wall reading the opinions of any more Keyboard Cowboys and the grossly over-sold stats of the manufacturers, i...

I know what you mean....nothing made for anyone over 6'2". The Cabelas supermags fit me better than anything else I've had. 6'6".

mind sending me that link as well? I'm looking to do the same thing this year. thanks. Frank

ahhh...I love this! I'm sitting in my office as we speak, 9 minutes from downtown HdG, lookin at the headwaters of the Bush River and APG. Here's my 2 cents (for what its worth).....Vincentis' is definitely worth a stop: lots of decoys (he's a broker, not just a carver, so you'll see some...

Around here I've heard: Gadwall: grey duck Bufflehead: buffy, butterball Coot: water chicken

Being a fairly new father certainly has many high points...and I wanted to share one with you guys. I have a 5-year-old daughter named Paige who has been "mildly interested" in hunting, but is more concerned about being a princesss. Frankie, our 3-year-old boy, however, is eaten up with it...

Hi Dave...so sorry for your loss. I hate to sound cliche, but as I sat here contemplating what your family must be feeling right now, I looked out the window and caught sight of a single goose dropping from high to touch down with his flock...and here just seems to be something comforting in...

Good call George...I can't believe I forgot about the Upper Bay Museum in Northeast. Buddy of mine from work hunts with Vernon Bryant (who has been instrumental in getting that place up and running again). Its a smaller museum, but they have some great boats, sink boxes, decoys, and tools...plus...
