I too see all the new shiny stuff folks wear and yet they don't have a clue how to make a turn. Either they got taken advantage of or they bought in to the gear will make me a skier, or whatever.Terry Scovillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03921175577588776380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286580898220335414.post-72129686194451008262009-06-19T09:15:30.952-07:002009-06-19T09:15:30.952-07:00Oh man, this is so true.

I spent all my money on lift tickets and skis and didn't have any money left for clothes so I skied in jeans, my old hand me down coat and a cheap pair of sunglasses and loved the mountain. But you could always tell the rich newbies bussed in from out of state with their fancy one piece suits and goggles and they could hardly stand up in the lift line!<br /><br />That concept applies to everything! Thanks for the advice!<br /><br />http://www.rodandriflerag.com/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08257159379619088543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286580898220335414.post-8159322713943938792009-06-15T19:05:04.064-07:002009-06-15T19:05:04.064-07:00DEDH, you are right on and thanks for your contrib...DEDH, you are right on and thanks for your contribution. There are just about as many ways to hunt waterfowl, as there are shotguns to put bird in hand. <br />I'm with you on the 2nd. amendment!Terry Scovillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03921175577588776380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286580898220335414.post-77710370854280069182009-06-15T09:24:45.064-07:002009-06-15T09:24:45.064-07:00I would prefer to look way super cool out in the f...I would prefer to look way super cool out in the field, there is no price for perfection!!! <br /><br />Okay, you're right Terry but with the proper research there exists some seriously top notch products at some decent prices.<br /><br />However, I would like to comment on the shotgun portion of your write up. Eventually if the new hunter becomes increasingly rabid about waterfowling, then he or she will find themselves doing a variety of experiences. Upon this one can consider different options, first being having different shotguns for different circumstances. Although my autoloader is my go to shooter, I've found it isn't perfect for all occasions. So this then leads itself to my second option and that is to find a gun that will serve many needs in the field. This can seem quite simple, but in reality can become a logistical nightmare.<br /><br />I've been fortunate to be able to purchase a variety of guns for a variety of game, but will say I began with a 12 gauge Remington 870 and a Weatherby 7 mm Rem. Mag. Both of those guns met my needs until I then discovered a truly fantastic market out there. Now I am the 2nd amendment!!!<br /><br />Good post, once again you got me thinking.Downeast Duck Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06445000557200149121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286580898220335414.post-40954268206893412992009-06-11T20:38:39.994-07:002009-06-11T20:38:39.994-07:00Gary, well you know, every now and then a person w...Gary, well you know, every now and then a person will find a gadget that actually does what it claims. <br />We should all be so lucky to have a "Sue" in our camp!Terry Scovillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03921175577588776380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286580898220335414.post-55325201171063144842009-06-11T19:08:54.745-07:002009-06-11T19:08:54.745-07:00Terry, I'll agree on these big ticket items an...Terry, I'll agree on these big ticket items and fashion statements, BUT I'm one of those gadget persons that Tom talks about. Don't use them all because they're not what they are advertised but I got too many of them anyway.

I say save your money and use it on practice, it is more impressive to see someone make a clean shot than miss with a high dollar shotgun.Big Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17556151016929170909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286580898220335414.post-82397971418394615782009-06-10T07:55:28.788-07:002009-06-10T07:55:28.788-07:00Great post!

While I'm walking around with a backpack, old hooded sweatshirt, and baseball cap, many fly fisherman have close to $500-$1000 wrapped up in their rod, vest, and rustic designer hat to "fit the part."Paul Steevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15913852750720584610noreply@blogger.com
