I'm the proud new owner of a 1974 Grumman Sportboat. It's in excellent condition except for some heavy oxidation. I need to remove the oxidation so I can paint the boat for this coming season. Does anyone have experience using Alumiprep 33 to remove oxidation? I'm curious how messy of a...

Hello - We have a marsh that has a dense colony (maybe even overrun) of woolgrass (scirpus cyperinus). I have read online that ducks and geese eat the seeds and foliage. However, I think if this is true in a material way, woolgrass would be frequently discussed in conjunction with common moist...

Merry Christmas everyone. I'm a frequent reader but infrequent poster. I am wondering if anyone knows whether Pacific Brant frequently end up on the East Coast. Recently while hunting I found a very decomposed bird body with two leg bands. One was a standard federal leg band and the other...

I guess this is what happens when the boy's can't find any available hens (for those that do not know, VA ABC is our state liquor store).

I finally got on a waterfowl lease (YEA!), which is not easy around here. There just are not that many opportunities. However, between now and the 2013/2014 season I need to accumulate a rig of field decoys so that I can make use of the pit blinds and not be relegated to the river all of the...

My wife's family is from up-state New York and is having a family reunion in the Lake George area this summer. I am not sure where we are staying ,but we may take advantage of a free place around Killington, VT, about 1.5 hours from Lake George. Anything ducky or especially interesting to see...

Does anyone have any experience introducing duckweed to a beaver pond? I have a beaver pond that is roughly 240 yards x 200 yards, and I would like to improve it as a waterfowl habitat. I have no way of controlling the water levels, so planting rooted plants like millet, etc. is out of the...

Guys in the North East and the Eastern part of the Great Lakes should pay attention over the next couple of days. There are some interesting models out there showing Tropical Storm Sandy combining with a cold front and forming a super storm. Some are even saying snow is a possibility...

Got out with some friends for teal season yesterday. Other than our shooting and some ill timed flocks coming in, we could not have asked for a better day. For a little over an hour, we were covered up in teal. At one point we had a flock of about 60 birds come in. I think we were all guilty...

I have been using a 2 million candle power handheld spotlight, which has proven to be bright enough thus far. However, I hate trying to drive the boat and hold the light the rare times I go by myself (which I know I shouldn't do, but that's another story). I found a spotlight that will mount...

It has been a few years since we have visited my Grandparents in Florida (they ususally come here), so we are thinking about going for Thanksgiving. However, I do not see how that should stop me from doing a little hunting!! My Grandparents live just south of Jacksonville, FL, and I would...

After an unsuccessful turkey hunt Saturday, I decided to take a walk to one of my duck holes. Luckily I looked down just in time to see this snake. I picked up a stick to prod him along, and he curled up. Then he started vibrating, which caused the leaves to rattle, so for a second...

Before I get to the meat of my post, let me just say how much I have enjoyed reading the posts and viewing the pictures that are posted here. I was directed to this forum several months ago regarding a question I had on a boat blind. Since then, I have been a regular visitor to the site and...

Hey guys, I am new the forum. There is a lot of great information on here; thanks for sharing. I have a question that I am hoping someone can help me with: Has anyone installed an Avery Quickset blind or Cabela's Northern Flight blind on a fiberglass skiff? I know that the Avery...
