I grew up hunting ducks near Finns Point in Salem County where the NWR is presently located. Great hunting. I sure do miss it. My father and grandfather also hunted Mannington Meadow and near Mad Horse Creek. Fortunately, the boats in our family have survived. I've got a classic 1920's railbird skiff, a lapstrake railbird skiff like the one in A.B. Frost's wonderful print and a good old Alumacraft Ducker. All tucked away safely in my barn. The guns and decoys are still in the family too. South Jersey had a culture that revolved aroung gunning and Maryland is a poor substitute. Thanks for showing the wonderful photos.
