Something similar happened to me once here in NJ. I was hunting on Great Bay Boulevard, which is a peninsula that sticks out into and divides Little Egg Harbor from Great Bay and is on the south end of Long Beach Island. You can find it on google earth or any other map if interested. It is a...

Great story and outing Jay. Any day you get a nice black duck is a good day!

You might want to contact Dave Diefenderfer here, he had a Sam Hunt sailing box he was looking to sell last fall. You can't find a more classic sneak box than that. I don't think it needed a restoration either. https://duckboats.net/community/threads/sam-hunt-bbsb.355992/

Cool boat Bob!

That is sacrilege Eric!

Most non-toxic ammo that is denser than steel has been very volatile in price since the various types have been introduced. Sometimes they are available for 3-4 years, but they all seem to have pricing swings and availability issues or bankruptcies among the actual manufacturers of the shot...

This what I have, at least 20 years old and like new still

I just hunt a salt marsh today, and like Mike-SID, over 15 MPH and gusts I just don't go anymore. Mostly that is because, at least where I hunt, I find the birds sit tight in that wind and don't move around much. That's just my own experience hunting that marsh. I will hunt a field or a land...

It's been 4 years for me and I don't miss it.

This photo is a perfect representation of mid-Atlantic black duck country. It has everything in it, including the ducks. The scrub pine on the edge of marsh looks just like several spots I hunt in south Jersey and have hunted in Maryland, and they look the same down in tidewater Virginia. And...

There were some around still in the 80's in south Jersey, but very few remain. Back then a friend had a shorthair and we would do 1/2 hour hunts before work and sometimes find one of the coveys on the property. They are a great bird to hunt over dogs, even though I only ever shot a few. Feral...

Really, really interesting. I had never seen pipe oarlocks before. Maybe they weren't popular here in Jersey.

I have always questioned the idea that hybrid black/mallard ducks were a real issue. I am not surprised to learn the genetic info you mention. There was never any clear guidance as I recall here in NJ. And you collectors of old black duck decoys know there was often a thin white line painted...

That is a really nice deer Ed, and a very good shot with a slug gun. I haven't hunted deer in about 20 years now, but I hunted in the Catskills with a rifle and in Jersey with buckshot and the woods are as you describe. It is rare to even get a shot at the range you described where I hunted also.

I have an older A391 which is a target model I use for trap, but I believe it is the same action today. If so, it is nice shotgun and is reliable. I bought it about a year ago and really like it. It was in mint shape and I couldn't say no. It is easy to disassemble and clean and being a gas gun...

Eel grass is why. Eel grass beds along the East Coast started to die as the intra-coastal waterway was built and the salinity of the water changed in the bays affected. That is why I said if you eat them the first week they are here they are often OK. Once they are on the lettuce, I skin and...

Anyone that comes to NJ to gun should try and hunt brant once for the experience. Brant are so different in many ways from other waterfowl, at least out this way. You can watch brant fly for hours and be entertained with the sights and sounds of them on a coastal bay, which is quite a bit...

That's a real nice one Chip!

You're doing it right Tod!

Way to go Tod. Now you have time to work on that great dog blind.
