Jeff, Paint or cerakote will both equally protect the metal from rust. I too largely hunt salt and hated having my gun constantly rusting so I buy painted guns for the salt. I have bought all my waterfowl guns prior to the proliferation of cerakote. If you are someone who is particular about...

Not quite on the workbench but hopefully fixing my one complaint about my duck boss. A bird that comes right over top is guaranteed to flair due to the wide open top. Bent up some 3/4” emt conduit and used Bimini hardware to create a roof. I have added a cross bar where it bends back and today’s...

This is the decoy I’m referring to

Just saw an ad on instagram the other day. It’s a battery operated “ripple decoy” that has some sort of a device inside that replicates the feeding chuckle of a mallard. Apparently legal because it is not a recording. I’m all for innovation but it’s starting to get a little out of hand

Just a heads up the tuckerton decoy show is this coming weekend and there are usually a bunch of boats on display and some vendors there selling boats. A great opportunity to see them in person and talk to people that own those boats

Of course usage will play a factor in electric cost but it will still be cheaper to operate a standard water heater over tankless. You also need to consider the large cost of install for the new electric

There is some merit to the gas tankless water heaters but electric is a no go. I’m not a plumber, I’m an electrician and we have run wire for new tankless water heater set ups (usually 2 paralleled 40 amp 240 volt circuits) then a few months later gone back a few months later to rewire the set...

Eric, Listened to the episode yesterday while at work. I listen to Ramseys podcast frequently and it’s always both entertaining and informative. Your episode was no different. You did a great job explaining how and why you did all the things you did to make this community what it is today. I...

Jeff pick me up on the way down 95!

I share your sentiments about the intertidal zone. We are very fortunate here in NJ to have similar laws to you. As far as body booting it is still done on the Susquehanna flats in Maryland. There are a few outfitters still offering that very challenging method of hunting. The only still...

I was going to dig down sono tubes with traditional framing on top of that. I was going to use some sort of vapor barrier under the framing then fill between the framing with closed cell foam. This would give me a spot to frame out a room to temperature control later on if I wanted to

Josh, As I dream about the possibilities of one day having a pole barn for storage I’d also had similar thoughts. My idea that I think I’m sticking with is actually to omit entirely an area of the barn from having any concrete at all. Then after the concrete is poured build footers and frame...

Greg, while you’re partially correct it’s really pork roll, not Taylor ham. Also now we have officially confused everyone that’s not from the Jersey area

I live in the extremely fun restricted state of NJ where using a .22lr for squirrel and rabbit hunting is not legal so 2.75” #7.5 low brass steel shot is my go to. That being said there are a couple options now for lead free .22lr and if you haven’t tried a .17hmr yet you’re missing out. A...

Tod, I have switched to a 100% lead free policy for hunting. After listening to some podcasts particularly around the California condor recovery it opened my eyes as to the damage lead can do not only to the environment but more to myself and my family by ingesting it unknowingly while...

Nice write up. And congratulations on that euro. That’s very cool

Jim, I’m not an expert by any means but it would seem we could certainly support, and I would be in favor of, a 4 bird limit with no more than 2 hens. Would make the hunts last a bit longer and hopefully even out the hen to drake ratio a bit. Decoyed a bunch of groups of 20+ bills this year...

Glad to hear they are still abundant in other places. I am assuming they were lesser scaup? Not the greaters that those of us that would typically say “broadbill” more often than not encounter.

Very cool. What a story he has now
