    Gunsmith advice on my Benelli M1 - is it true?

    My father and I have the exact same gun, his is 15+ years old, and mine is 4 years old. Exact same problems with both. His was broken down and the spring in the stock was cleaned about 3 years ago, and it never solved the problem, so he took it to a different gunsmith over this past summer. This...

    Remember those Canvasback numbers?

    Personally, I don't like the idea of any duck being closed or season in a season, because there are too many people out there who shoot first and figure it out later. When they shoot the wrong duck, they leave it. I had the displeasure of setting up on an island last fall and finding 3 hen...

    Remember those Canvasback numbers?

    Don't get me wrong, I wasn't implying that last years count was accurate either. It just bugs me that their "model" will give us 2 per day last year and close the season this year. Just the typical knee-jerk reaction to what is an estimated number to begin with. Oh well, according to the...

    Remember those Canvasback numbers?

    Rick, I was sitting on Target Lake Saturday morning watching wave after wave of them heading from Onalaska to Wisconsin Islands and beyond. It reaffirmed my belief that the powers that be should have known their numbers were skewed, and that there was absolutely NO WAY that the continental...

    Dog infection

    Hey Ryan, My lab has had the same issue for the past 2-3 years. I've had the same success with pills and sprays that you have, it comes right back. What I was finally told was that some dogs develop an allergy to the type of protein in their dog food, and the allergy hot spots develop a staf...

    MN Members, I need a little help......

    Hey Mark, Swan Lake by Nicollet would be a perfect spot, but.......it was drawn down last year and I have no idea if there's any water left as dry as we've been. If you were to go to the Mississippi in SE MN, Weaver, Minnesota City, Target Lake, and Lawrence Lake are all like you describe. There...

    Wood Flour

    After already paying the boat shop price for my 5200, I happened to walk down the caulk aisle at Wal-Mart, and sure enough, there it was for 1/3 the price. I'd try a furniture type shop for wood flour as well, or just order it.

    Fitting a neoprene dog vest

    My genious former neighbor bought a vest for his dog on the way to North Dakota a couple of years ago. He didn't do anything to fit it to his dog, as was his way of doing pretty much everything. A few hours into their first hunt, the dog locked up and refused to work. By the end of the day, he...

    Old Decoy ID

    They are in pretty decent shape, considering he used them for a long time, and as far as he can remember, they were never repainted. There's plenty of wear on them, but it only gives them more character. Here's a picture of one of the others her grandpa gave me. It too is in great shape for...

    Old Decoy ID

    Can anyone tell me the make and age of this decoy? It was given to me by my wife's grandpa, along with a matching hen, and they are some of my most prized possessions, yet I know nothing about them. I think the shape and style of these is fantastic, and may have to try replicating them with...

    Where's the ducks?

    Ed and Ryan, The Broadbill I built was from study plans instead of blueprints, so it ended up with different lines from the true Devlin Broadbill. I went into it wanting a light boat that the most motor I would use would be an electric. I used 1/4" Meranti for the hull and decks, 3/8"...

    Where's the ducks?

    Hey Ed, The BB3 worked out great. It saw a lot of time on the water this year, and saw it's share of blood. My only problem with it was from breaking 1/2" plus ice at the Weaver Bottoms(first guy out for once) and messing up the wood on my center keelson, It didn't even scuff the FME off of...

    Where's the ducks?

    Hey Ed, I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you. Our season in MN ended on 11/28 with barely a fizzle, and my opinion is that any push happened before Nov 15th. The last 2 weekends we saw far fewer birds than previously, and what remained were extremely well educated Mallards. I hunted pools 5...
