I just try to skin around the pussy or ball sack and leave it attached to the first rear quarter. If you screw up on the first quarter, you have a second attempt.
If you screw up on the second one, just cut it off, bag it, throw it in. The wardens know if you're being a shithead or just made a...
I would bail on Colorado with our shed restriction. Maybe the northwest corner of the state, if you're coming in May. Colorado CPW website has a hunting atlas with winter range and migration layers, that would narrow your search quickly. Low country/BLM lands are probably the best bet...
More is not always better. For example, everyone else is hunting 5-10dz full bodies or 10-20dz silhouettes. You might do well to throw 6-12 full bodies.
Small spreads need to be more realistic because there's less for the birds to look at.
Three dozen silhouettes would be a decent "minimum"...
In this picture you can see several types of silhouettes.
There are real geese pro 2 in the back. These have a fabric face that acts similar to flocking.
To the left are divebomb silhouettes. Some with flocked heads and others with no flocking.
There is a shell decoy with a flocked head and...
Skip the socks. Just buy silhouettes. You do not need full bodies.
A cheap basic call will work fine. Practice until you sound good. The Goose Society DVDs are a good place to start.
If you want to hunt water, four to eight floaters would be a good idea but they're kind of a pain to store and...
Buy some sealskin socks. It won't dry your boots, but will keep outside moisture off your feet.
I think the biggest reason people think their boots leak (other than sweat) is the hydraulic pressure of flex pushing water through the gore-tex membrane.
One thing that I don't remember seeing mentioned here is the broiler in your oven.
I never use my microwave, unless I am heating up coffee or soup. Maybe melting butter or some other fat.
When I reheat leftovers, it's almost always under the broiler with the "low" setting.
The microwave...
I thought this craigslist post was my "WTF" moment of the day. Turns out I had two of those today.
Yes... It is poaching if you're killing a regulated species at will.
Sounds like there's a handful of surplus turkeys up there. I'm all ears if anyone has a spot...
You want bootfooted waders for waterfowl.
I had cheaper bootfooted ones my entire life, but have been using stocking foot Simms for a few years. The stocking foot ones are fine, if you are not dealing with cold temperatures and cold water. I actually like them, but the boot footed ones are much...
If I were walking a long distance for large geese, I would take some heavy duty shears or tin-snips. Cut the back out and delete the guts, head/neck. Essentially, spatchcock them in the field.
XL size. Coyote brown color.
Tag says retail $80. I would like $45 shipped.
Open to offers.
I received this as a gift. It is new and unworn. I'm 5'8" 200lb and would say it fits well.
My reading comprehension is fine. He made a generalized statement and you took it personally.
So what was your point something about two grains of weight difference?
@WV Mountaineer
He didn't suggest that you lied.
He also didn't say anything about two grain bullet weight differences. What point are you trying to make with that?
