Thank you. I can try PMing him

Thanks Tim!

Good to know!

Thanks Roy. To avoid confusion on my end, I was thinking of hitting the primers with a Sharpie marker. Blue for bismuth, red for lead "game loads", and no color for the lead trap loads. I guess for the warden I could carry a copy of my receipt from purchasing the bismuth shot.

Thanks all for your thoughts! Roy, I've never known anything other than steel for waterfowl and haven't really been disappointed in it's performance at reasonable ranges with the 12 gauge. The main reason I'm reloading is the availability factor. Two of my sons shoot older 2.75" guns and the...

Hello, It's been a while since I've posted here, but I do still enjoy checking in from time to time to see what cool stuff you're all up to. I've recently gotten back into reloading shotshells and would like to buy a bag of bismuth shot to try on ducks this year. We mainly hunt divers (scaup...

Yes Todd, I've cooked the legs and loins with orange juice in the crock pot. Sometimes throwing a little pork in with it too. Then shred and mix with barbeque sauce. My boys would all love it on sandwiches, even taking it leftover in their school lunches and sharing with friends. Aside from...

Steve, I did not make it up to trap in the Adirondacks this fall. Between a new puppy, our youngest son's busy senior year in high school, and a trip to Canada in October, I was just too busy. I'm hoping to resume the trips in the future. Will give you a shout this summer to see how things...

Thanks Steve, I may have to take you up on that. Good luck and enjoy!

That's great, congratulations Steve! Had to look Caribou up on the map, that's way up north. I bet there's some good mustelids up there!

Thanks for the observations Vince. I agree that the maker incorporated some nice features into this one. I bought the decoy at a benefit auction and didn't get to examine it closely beforehand. So I didn't notice a lot of the details until after I purchased it. Yes, it would be cool to see...

Hello Steve, Thanks for the input. I've resisted the urge to gouge my fingernail into it, but it does look and heft like balsa. I continue to enjoy seeing the posts of your projects and have been using your painting tutorials to paint three rounds of urethane Aythya decoys (cans in 2020...

Hello, It's been a while since I posted, but I do enjoy visiting here from time to time to see what you're all up to. I recently bought this hen broadbill in Nova Scotia and am hoping that you can tell me something about it. It's very light wood (perhaps balsa) and appears to have a vertical...

Thanks for the link Troy. In addition to being a bit more compact than a rotary mower, I believe that the flail mowers are also more forgiving if you hit a rock. I'll keep looking to see what's available locally, as it's tough to buy equipment like this without seeing it first.

Thanks Troy. That looks like quite the tracked machine to open up your paths. I have used rotary style mowers before, but not a fail mower. For the tractor we were looking at flail mowers because of their compact size compared to a tow behind or three point hitch mounted brush hog. That...

Thanks Kevin. I'll check out Taylor Rentals. We've got a few sites up that way where I could give their mower a try. There are some Taylor Rentals that I can check out down here as well.

Thanks Dani. That?s a good idea to rent one first to see how we like it. Will search around to see if anyone around here rents them. You?re probably right about getting the biggest mower possible, the engines are larger so they should be able to handle the job. The difference in price just...

Hello, I haven't posted in quite a while, but have been checking in from time to time and have enjoyed seeing what you're all up to. I hope you're doing well and enjoying winter. I am looking to purchase a mower for work and thought that this group may be knowledgeable on the subject. We have...
