Transom question/problem

So I dug out an old duck boat that we haven't used in several years. It is a 14 ft mirrocraft. Found the transom was rotten and decided to replace. Well without doing much (any) research I went ahead and replaced the transom with wolmanized wood. I now come to find out using wolmanized wood on an aluminum boat is no-no. Can anyone tell me what kind of trouble I may end up having and how soon what to watch for. I guess if I can hold out replacing it til next year and just make it thru this duck season that would be ideal. Thanks for any help.

Transom question/problem

Looking for land around Grand Rapids

Looks like I am moving to the Grand Rapids here in the next few weeks. I figured I would drop a line on here and see if anyone is looking to lease any land or looking for a lease partner in the area. Any help would be greatly appreciated otherwise good luck to everyone this year.

We'll I went and did it!

I have officially crossed over to the wild side!

Woodcock print....

Hey guys and gals I'd been looking at this woodcock print on and off for a bunch of months at a local (Grand Haven) antique mall. After a meeting or two with my finance guy, watching the DOW every day and paying attention to future predictions for Treasury Bond rates I finally "bit the bullet" and plunked down $30.80 hard cash (including frame, sales tax etc.) for this woodcock print.



It appealed to me as it represents much of the type of woodcock cover that I hunt (low, thick,wet mixed cover) as opposed to the usual "New England" styled woodcock prints - two guys with a setter on point, shooting while smoking their pipes, with an abandoned apple orchard in the background bordered on one side by a crumbling stone wall and the other by a babbling brook tumbling down a hillside etc. well you get my drift - New England perhaps, Michigan hardly.



.



In the lower right hand corner are the initials - "A.J.R.". A cross posting on another upland shooting website and a Google search have been unproductive as to who "A.J.R." is or most probably was. Any info. would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately the print is glued to the cardboard backing so I have no idea if any info. is on the verso of the print.



The more I look at it the more I like it. It's hanging in my mud room so I'll get a look at it every time I come in my house but most especially after returning from a woodcock hunt with my once "old" but now "new" Browning Superposed Super-Light. But I'll save that story for another post.



Thanks in advance.

I am a blob to the deer

According to this study, I am a blob to the deer, "a hunter wearing camouflage containing many subtle shades of green and/or brown looks just like one big blob to deer"





Break out grandpa's red flannel, "Cohen found that deer see blue colors best and red colors the worst"

Storing eggs/skein

What do you guys carry your preferred eggs/skein in?



I have some old Wapsi fly head cement and lacquer glass bottles I was thinking of cleaning out and putting eggs in to carry on the river. My only question is; will any leftover/uncleaned residue leave a smell or taste behind on the eggs that salmon or steelhead will sense?



I realize they aren't very big, but if I load a few of them up, that should get me through an outing or two. Should I just abandon them and pick up some small mason jars?

I would like a branch but I have no use for a whole tree, and its up north.

Cool looking tree though.
