With the unexpected passing of Beau last May, I went through last season dogless. First time in over 30 years. That wasn't going to happen again, so I spent last weekend driving to Virginia to pick up an 8 week old Pudelpointer. Here's Beau on his last hunt. Didn't know it at the time. And...

I bought a Hearter's push pole head that I disassembled sanded and painted. I need one copper rivet 1 3/4" by 1/8" to put it back together. Anyone know of a supplier that sells small quantities? I found one company that has them, but I would have to buy 100.

Geese that is. First time I’ve ever seen snow geese while hunting. A buddy and I were hunting Presque Isle this morning and had a flock of eight work the decoys. Circled probably eight times just out of gun range. They just wouldn’t finish. I guess our 5 canada decoys on the ice weren’t enough...

I got this today and thought I would pass it along for those in the Great Lakes region. National Wildlife Health Center Wildlife Health Bulletin 2016-06 Virulent Newcastle Disease Virus in Double-Crested Cormorants To: Natural Resource/Conservation Managers From: Dr. Jonathan...

I got a call about an injured owl today. Being the time of year and what the guy told me, I figured it was a jumper. It is very common for baby owls to bail out of the nest as they get bigger. This little screech owl was sitting in the guys back yard. I looked up in the tree beside him and mom...

The bear population in NW PA has increased drastically in the past years. We've gone from the occasional sighting to over 20 complaints last year. This year is going to be no exception. I got the first two complaints the first week of April. The first step is generally to try to illuminate...

Got to thinking about the lighting over my carving area, so I did a little searching on the web for what would be the best light for painting. I realize natural light, but at this time I'm carving in my "man dungeon" as my daughter refers to it. In the art painting world the recommendation was...

Macallan has grown a little since you last saw him. He's all set to go. We'll see you on Saturday. [/URL] [/URL]

I finally got time to get out and do a little hunting and took Beau for his first hunt. Of course the weather would have to be blue skies and no wind. After driving around trying to decide were to hunt, figuring everywhere was going to be lousy, I decided on a blind with a good raft of coots...

It's been a long week at my house in regards to dogs. My wife's standard poodle, who was pregnant, suffered an intestinal blockage the end of last week. The surgery didn't go well and she did not recover. We lost her on Monday. My wife is devastated. The poodle was only 3 1/2 years old...

I'm getting pretty handy with the sewing machine. This is was definitely an easier project then the motor cover. I sewed pockets on the bottom side and put fiberglass electric fence posts in them to span across the cockpit of my boat. A little grass and it will be all ready. [/URL]

Spent some time over the last two days working on a motor cover. This was my first time working with canvas and I learned a lot. First of all, I better not give up my day job. I ran into a few bumps, but overall it didn't come out too bad. Besides, once I put some grass on it you'll never be...

My wife and I are planning on coming to Tuckerton the end of the month. Any recommendations on where to stay? I have a camper, so would be interested in hotels or campgrounds. Thanks

The arrival of the Cabela's and Mack's waterfowl catalogs made me realize I better get busy on my boat. I wanted to add a spray dodger this summer. I watched some DIY videos on the sail rite website and think I have a plan for the sewing, but I would like some input on bending the aluminum...

This was not planned for this year, but my goldens were let out at the same time when they shouldn't have, so needless to say......last Thursday, the 8th, she gave birth to 10 little balls of fur. Unfortunately we lost one little girl, so we have 6 males and 3 females. My only real problem...

I have 9 golden puppies (six males, three females) that will be ready July 3rd. AKC registered. Both parents are from field trial/hunting lines. If you are interested you can contact me by PM or at darinclark@verizon.net or (814) 490-1910. Below is a link to the pedigree. I am asking $800. I...

Things got busy this fall and I haven't posted my progress, but I have been busy. It was right down to the wire, but I got it done in time to take it to Virginia with Steve and Tom. It's not 100% done, but close enough. I still want to put grass rails on the bow and have a dodger made. I had...

What's everyones opinions of Gamefisher outboards? I've got a line on a 9.9 that I can get for $225. The seller said he started it on Sunday and it started on the second pull. May need a new impeller, but that isn't a big deal. Is it worth it or would I just be getting a piece of junk...
