    Duck hunting cancelled in MA?

    Advisory means suggestion NOT required. In order to require the Governor of Massachusetts must rely upon due process or lawful ability. Since the Department of Public Health has not provided a document by the commissioner to the same in accordance with MGL c17 s 2A, he is merely asking. Nothing...

    Freeing a seized up choke tube

    Spray some lubricating oil so it sits between barrel and tube so it will soak down. Spray liberally and do it several times over a few hours. Keep it muzzle end up overnight. After one day try to free it with choke tube wrench. This did trick for me on a tube that had not been changed in many...

    Five foot scull boat?

    Was looking around and happened upon an auction listing with a scull boat listed. It is red and very short? Looks about 5 ft long. Never heard of such a thing. Wonder if it was cut down to display items on. Bunch of decoys in same auction so that is why I was assuming the boat had some sort of...

    Looking for Arthur Armstrong photos, tips, ideas

    Couldn't agree more. Knowing of potential for problem on the water, especially in the winter, is reckless at best. These are factory hulls that were minimally built. Add in two and half to three decades of time and its not if you will have a problem its when. These hulls ride low in the...

    Looking for Arthur Armstrong photos, tips, ideas

    Look at an outboard motor mount versus a long tail. The long tail sits a top the transom and secures with at best three inches of coverage; whereas the outboard displaces down the transom for about 8-10 inches.

    Alrighty gentlemen and any ladies that might be lurking

    A centerfire rifle with bonded bullets is not an issue of appropriate caliber for shoulder shots. My favorite shot is a shoulder shot on a whitetail. Full transfer of energy into the tissue and stops them quickly. Muzzleloading projectiles are often geared towards whitetails with all lead or...

    Alrighty gentlemen and any ladies that might be lurking

    I would stay away from shooting an animal that large in the shoulder. Shoot for same spot as though it is an arrow. Large soft and slow projectiles hitting heavy bone may not penetrate deep enough into the vitals to get a clean kill. That is why I would opt for the behind the shoulder shot.

    Recommendations for Safely Testing an Outboard Engine in a garage

    They are great but for idle only. The motor when submerged runs differently and the resistance of the water cause the rpms to drop to normal ranges that will not damage motor.

    New product - may be of interest to DBHF folks

    I took the cheap way out and bought a replacement nozzle and vent kit at Tractor Supply. The kit converts the rocket science cans into good old fashioned cans that function normally and spill less. Looking at the swivel joint makes me wonder about longevity. A one year warranty is nothing...

    Northeast Goldeneyes (My Friday contribution for Tod)

    I have seen a huge drop off in goldeneye numbers over the twenty five years. In the early nineties they were commonplace in Southern New England in December and January. Now I see them only in ones and twos. Buffleheads are still common but the red breasted mergansers have followed a similar...

    We ARE IN FOR A RUDE AWAKENING!!!! SHORTER DUCK SEAON!!

    Irrespective of guide versus non guide side of fence you are on, Brad's earlier post says it all. Mortality from hunting is additive to the overall problem. Enough said as far as hunters are concerned. The biologists and council will need to assess and study the other issues but we only need to...

    Your Eyes Appreciated: Looking for a Motor

    I had a 55 hp Mariner with tilt assist and loved it. Keeps it simple and nothing to go wrong. Moreover, it was a breeze to use and I could lift the motor with one hand, but only in neutral.

    Tide Apps

    Been searching for the same. Tired of making manual adjustments based on prior experiences only to have wind or low pressure throw a curve ball into the mix. There has to be some sort of algorithm to figure out tides from the nearest station????
