    Brain Trust question....tankless water heaters

    Of course usage will play a factor in electric cost but it will still be cheaper to operate a standard water heater over tankless. You also need to consider the large cost of install for the new electric

    Brain Trust question....tankless water heaters

    There is some merit to the gas tankless water heaters but electric is a no go. I’m not a plumber, I’m an electrician and we have run wire for new tankless water heater set ups (usually 2 paralleled 40 amp 240 volt circuits) then a few months later gone back a few months later to rewire the set...

    Duckboats.net Guest Appearance

    Eric, Listened to the episode yesterday while at work. I listen to Ramseys podcast frequently and it’s always both entertaining and informative. Your episode was no different. You did a great job explaining how and why you did all the things you did to make this community what it is today. I...

    Chincoteague Island area curiosity.

    I share your sentiments about the intertidal zone. We are very fortunate here in NJ to have similar laws to you. As far as body booting it is still done on the Susquehanna flats in Maryland. There are a few outfitters still offering that very challenging method of hunting. The only still...

    Wood floor in a pole barn idea

    I was going to dig down sono tubes with traditional framing on top of that. I was going to use some sort of vapor barrier under the framing then fill between the framing with closed cell foam. This would give me a spot to frame out a room to temperature control later on if I wanted to

    Wood floor in a pole barn idea

    Josh, As I dream about the possibilities of one day having a pole barn for storage I’d also had similar thoughts. My idea that I think I’m sticking with is actually to omit entirely an area of the barn from having any concrete at all. Then after the concrete is poured build footers and frame...

    On The Hunt For The 41- Success Here In NY

    Greg, while you’re partially correct it’s really pork roll, not Taylor ham. Also now we have officially confused everyone that’s not from the Jersey area

    NDR: Turkey Shells?

    I live in the extremely fun restricted state of NJ where using a .22lr for squirrel and rabbit hunting is not legal so 2.75” #7.5 low brass steel shot is my go to. That being said there are a couple options now for lead free .22lr and if you haven’t tried a .17hmr yet you’re missing out. A...

    NDR: Turkey Shells?

    Tod, I have switched to a 100% lead free policy for hunting. After listening to some podcasts particularly around the California condor recovery it opened my eyes as to the damage lead can do not only to the environment but more to myself and my family by ingesting it unknowingly while...

    Bluebills on Okeechobee

    Jim, I’m not an expert by any means but it would seem we could certainly support, and I would be in favor of, a 4 bird limit with no more than 2 hens. Would make the hunts last a bit longer and hopefully even out the hen to drake ratio a bit. Decoyed a bunch of groups of 20+ bills this year...

    Bluebills on Okeechobee

    Glad to hear they are still abundant in other places. I am assuming they were lesser scaup? Not the greaters that those of us that would typically say “broadbill” more often than not encounter.

    NDR: Turkey Shells?

    I do not turkey hunt but have sat and watched a couple buddies pattern/sight in their guns. Now these guys are super serious turkey hunters and have 20ga benelli M2s that are set up just for turkeys. Complete with red dot sights, lengthened forcing cones and choke tubes carefully matched to...

    Hunting in the age of social media

    I think the internet has definitely opened up the “secret” that NJ has possibly the best hunting on the east coast. Plenty of ducks and unparalleled freelance opportunities. Most people are trying to protect their state from “out of staters” but my personal feeling is the more out of staters...

    Sneakboat Dilemma

    Noah, I also hunt NJ and hunt from a duck boss 15. Previously I had a duck boss 13. No doubt the 13 hides better than the 15 and if I only hunted by myself or one other person the 13 would still be in my driveway. However I like to hunt with both my brother and my dad and that means I needed a...
