My intro, my cause and some blocks I restored.

[David Strick9]

Morning fellas,

Was on here many mooooons ago and just got back up and running.

Hope everyone has had a safe and decent season as it was a true grind down here in the South Atlantic Flyway in the Santee Delta and Ace Basins.

I am a firm believer in a man is only as good as the legacy he leaves behind be it family, faith or friends but all equivocate to his actions.

That said, I have formed a NPO called the Carolina Wildlife Syndicate. CWS was designed to lobby for and battle with the agencies in charge of our waterfowl and wildlife management here in SC. Our main species of interest are Waterfowl, Whitetail Deer, Eastern Wild Turkey and Bobwhite Quail as when a land or water is managed for these species in specific many other wildlife species benefit as well. We have made huge leaps in getting our agencies back in line with traditional and productive management strategies on our Waterfowl WMA lands through unifying hunters voices which have demanded focus, oversight, accountability and efficiency requirements on these lands and projects.

Currently, due to our successful model, we have also brought on board the Alabama Wildlife Syndicate and the Florida Wildlife Syndicate as well which have unified over 6000 hunters all pushing for the same mission statement. I am looking to branch out into the North East as my main objective is to help restore the Atlantic Flyway and its legacy.

Our main mission stance is to protect our public land and water hunting heritage not only for today but for generations to come.

We can be found on Face Book (yeah I don't like it either, but that is what the world seems to be doing) simply type in Carolina Wildlife Syndicate into your web browser and you can find many of our goal accomplishments and can also easily find us on FB via your browser as well.

Further and probably a little more on topic , I am looking for a sneak style boat along the lines of the Momarsh Fatboy Dp or similar within short ( 4hours) of Charleston Sc if anyone might have a line or lead.

Stay well, stay prosperous and never give up the fight to protect our hunting heritage!

Took these 92s through the process.

Morning Tod,

Real name is David Strickland. I will update profile to show such and thank you for the chair, the old back needs it more and more these days.

Edit just tried that , someone or possibly my old profile already has my full name so put a 9 at end.

Nice job on the herters Dave, is that corn cob or walnut hulls?

 

[David Strick9]

Hey Bill, thanks for the compliment.

I used the standard recipe Titebond III plus Walnut shells then dried for 24 then Titebond 75% plus 25% water , then dried and painted.

They are truly beasts and amazingly they fit perfectly in Dianne's 6 pocket Goose Gunnel Bags.

Interesting that the old wrapping marks showed up. Those should provide good fun next year. Sheesh, I sound like an old Brooklyn Dodgers fan![w00t]

 

[David Strick9]

Hey George , hope all is well sir. By old wrapping marks are you referring to the old goose paint scheme or ?

I think he is talking about the decoy line wrap marks.
A lot of decoy have those marks caused by the wet line shrinking when drying.

Gotcha, those are actually feather details from the original mold cast.

Oddly , termites, I assume formosans, had abused a few of these in the most stubborn of attempts to eat the entire block.
