Anybody going this weekend? I have ever been to this one but it looks like a pretty good show. I will be there on Saturday. If you see a guy wearing a fluorescent orange Stihl hat (making myself readily visible/identifiable) , stop me and say "hello", OK?

Not to be confused with factory fiberglass cover (which I have found to be excellent during trailering and storage) what are some of the best ideas for a camoflage cover while hunting? Over the past 2 seasons I have used die cut netting with bundles of native grasses tied with Jute Twine or...

Attached is from latest issue of DU magazine. And I found the same map by searching online. But I can't find in tabular form so I can compare various counties in states I have hunted or plan to hunt. Anybody know where to access this data?

I know most members on this site are more "into" carved decoys. Although they're not carved I found these Victor decoys in a bunch of other plastic decoys I bought used a couple years back. Being of Pennsylvania roots I found it interesting that these were manufactured in Lititz PA by...

I am reglassing the stringers in my 1986 Higbee BBSB. I want to enlarge the drainage holes in the stringers before I apply epoxy and cloth. It is a tight fit getting my reciprocating saw in there, keyhole saw is not much better. Existing holes are approximately 1/2 inch. If I go to a larger...

Hi All, These galvanized steel handles don't last very long because they are constantly submerged then dried off, submerged again. I do rinse after any saltwater hunt, but pressed steel design traps water. Does anybody know a good source for Stainless, or Silicon Bronze or Brass, even make...

Hi All, does anybody know what the Weight Capacity (USCG or otherwise) is for my 12 foot Higbee BBSB? I usually power it with an 8hp Evinrude 2 stroke--it planes easily with me and my wife in it (summertime--just cruising around). Our total weight is around 300 pounds (notice I am not saying...

Hi All, I moved recently from NC to VA (I know this could be a step backwards for duck hunting although my son hunted VA last year and had some good wooded swamp hunts for Woodies, Blacks, and maybe a few Mallards--lot of Canada Geese too!). In re-registering my 1980 12 foot Higbee the VA...

Hi All, I want to repaint 3 Flambeau Magnum mallard hens into Black Ducks. My wife has a fine collection of Acrylic paints with all the colors that I need to do the repaint. I am repainting only 3 decoys to simulate the small groups I see in a particular area. I can handle the repainted...
