Wow, I guess I got one of the good ones. I bought it when the budget was super tight when the now ex-wife was in grad school. The only problem I had with it was, the plastic mag follower will react to gun oil/solvent and expand. One call to BC Outdoors, remove follower and sand down. 10...

I use the J anchors and slotted bags. If I'm hunting where I know how deep the water is, I'll adjust the length of anchor line the night before. By putting the anchor in the pocket inside the slot and then putting the deke in the slot keeps them tangle free. Setting the spread is a snap...

BillS and David, I've been doing the lottery for about 7 years now... last year was the first time that I ever got a number low enough (23) to actually pick 2 spots at 1:30pm. Yesterday, I took off of work with 3 friends and tried again. We drew 140,124,80 and 60. So no spots for us. Oh...

Rogers sporting goods has them for $42.99... I used one last year and loved it!

RJWEBER, THANK YOU!!! Well said!

Good luck, I'll be keeping you in my thoughts!

All of this helps, thanks! I did give myself a good budget for this project because I knew I would need other supplies/safety equipment. But at the same time, I don't want to spend more then I have to while still having good protection. Especially since I don't see me doing a large amount...

Just curious, anyone going to Phoenix?? I am and would like to meet any other members who are going.

Thanks guys. I was thinking a face shield system would be better for fumes and dust compared to a respirator and goggles, but not knowing much, I figured I'd ask. The closest HF is about an hour from me, so before I drove there to look at it, I wanted to know what to look for.

I will be starting my build this summer (once Sam finishes the plans) and I'm getting all of my info together. Thanks to everyone who's posted ideas, pics, suggestions, techniques and hints! Today in the Harbor Freight email, they list the Arc One Air Shield Respirator system for $50. I...

Looks good! Thanks for posting pics! (I can't wait to start on mine this summer! I have a bad case of the building bug)

Something else to remember is arrow weight. You can take a bow that is fairly quiet and shoot a really light arrow (5 grains per pound) and it will be louder than the same bow with a heavier arrow. I've seen a lot of shooters try to get as much speed out of their bows by using way too light of...

Now Tod, if I had my way.... Today would be the last day that the former "minister of domestic affairs" would be coming over to pack her stuff up, and actually get it out of the house! That way I could start now on smaller boat for when I will be hunting alone. I'd also buy your camper, after...

Charlie, Here are my ideas for the boat. I want to be able to hunt 2 adults and a dog (if the other guy has a dog) or 2 adults and a kid (when nephew is old enough). I wanted it to draft less than the other designs while being more seaworthy then a jon boat. Because of the health issues I...

Pete, yes that's it. It should be about 15 feet long almost 6.5 feet wide. It should have about a 4 foot wide flat section of floor. My goal was for a boat that is really shallow draft, wide and stable.

I talked to Sam for the first time a few weeks ago, he's a really helpful guy. After talking with him about the current designs and what I was looking for, we decided a new design was needed. Now I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas while he is designing the boat. I'm hoping that he'll be...

Well, Brandon... I will be building a boat this summer. I have to now, I just put a $1000 deposit on a motor!

Tim, I can say that I have eaten horse before..... I can't remember if it was in Moscow or Lenningrad, but we were served a hard salami made from horse and it wasn't too bad. (It was better than the dog chops. We ate it because we didn't know what the next meal was going to be and it's just...

Well if all goes well, I will start building one this summer.

Oh Brian, that paint is all wrong.... So I'll offer to come take the boat off of your hands so you don't have to look at it. All that work..... That is one of the nicest boats I've seen on here. I can't wait to start one of my own. Dan
