RE: Do you eat Northern Shovelers?

To those who eat shoveler, and say it tastes OK - where are you hunting the duck? Freshwater or saltwater?

Last season was my first hunting season. I started late in the game, and didn't really...

RE: Do you eat Northern Shovelers?

I tried making jerky out of the last couple spoonies I had in the freezer, and all I ended up with was dog treats.

I breasted the ducks, cut the meat into small strips, soaked it in salt water...

For those of us who apparently don't know how to cook them, please let us know your technique so that these ducks don't go to waste. I've only killed 2, and both were inedible for my wife and I. The...

RE: Thoughts on Poly-Choke?

RE: Thoughts on Poly-Choke?

RE: Thoughts on Poly-Choke?

The screw-in type would be completely removable, so it'll neither raise the value, nor lower the value.

I'm not really concerned about the 'market-value' of my shotgun, either. I'm not planning...

RE: Thoughts on Poly-Choke?

Well, I've never been much for making things 'pretty'. As long as it's functional, reliable, and doesn't get in the way, I like it.

RE: First Leopard Shark

And my wife caught her first shark - a Sand Shark. This was the first of about a dozen that we released. She was excited to catch the first few...but after that she started getting annoyed.

RE: Favorite Fishing glasses

Whatever polarized ones I can find on sale for less than $15. They're going to end up getting scratched, lost, or broken, so I'm not going to spend more than just a few bucks.
