EASTERN SHORE TRIVIA

Easton has been called one of the "Goose Capitals of the World", but do you know why the Mid-Shore became THE destination for Atlantic Flyway waterfowlers?

The answer is corn. When Delmarva farming shifted heavily to corn and grain in the mid-1900s, migrating Canada geese found endless food between the Chesapeake's rivers and creeks, and they never looked back. At the peak, hundreds of thousands of geese wintered within an hour of our front door.

That heritage is why the Waterfowl Festival calls Easton home... and why this shop has been full of goose hunters every fall for over four decades.

What's your earliest memory of goose season on the Shore? Tell us below.

🕊️ IT'S HERE! Dove season opens today across Maryland.

The Eastern Shore's sunflower fields and cut corn are calling. Whether you're settling in over a Talbot County field this afternoon or getting the kids out for their first opener, we wish you safe shooting and full game straps.

Tag us in your opening day photos, we'd love to share them!

Opening week dove checklist..what the old-timers never leave home without.

✅ A bucket or low-profile stool
✅ Drab clothing, you don't need full camo, but skip the white t-shirt
✅ More shells than you think you need
✅ Water. September on the Shore is still summer.
✅ A choke on the open side, improved cylinder or modified.

Need choke tubes or shells before dove opens on Tuesday? Stop by 36 E Dover St and see us. Open Saturday 10-2 and Monday 10-5

There are two very distinct types of gun owners when you get back from a long day in the field or at the range...

Type A: The gun gets completely stripped, cleaned, oiled, and wiped down before you even sit down for dinner. It doesn't go into the safe with a single speck of carbon or moisture.

Type B: "It's a working tool." A quick wipe of the exterior if it rained, into the rack it goes, and it gets a deep clean once or twice a season (or whenever it starts cycling slow).

Be honest, which type are you? Do you clean it immediately, or wait until the end of the season?

With opening day around the corner, it's time for THIS OR THAT: Dove Edition

20 gauge vs. 28 gauge for September doves?

Team 20 says: more shot in the pattern, shells on every store shelf in America, and plenty light enough for an all afternoon carry.
Team 28 says: the sweetest swinging gauge ever made, feather-light, almost no recoil, and it patterns way above its weight class. Once you shoot doves with a 28, you never go back.

(And yes, we see you .410 loyalists lurking. You can state your case too.)

213 years ago today, the Eastern Shore pulled off one of the cleverest tricks in American military history. 🇺🇸🏮

On the foggy morning of August 10, 1813, the War of 1812 came knocking right on Talbot County's door. A fleet of British barges swept up the river to attack the town of St. Michaels and destroy its vital local shipyards.

The local militia knew they were outgunned, but they weren't outsmarted!

Realizing the British fleet would look for the lights of the town to aim their cannons in the early morning darkness, the townspeople extinguished every candle in their homes. Instead, they carried lanterns out past the town borders, hanging them high up in the trees and on the top masts of vessels.

The strategy worked flawlessly. The British gunners misjudged the elevation and overshot the town completely, sending their cannonballs harmlessly over the rooftops and deep into the surrounding woods.

St. Michaels was saved and forever earned the legendary title "The Town That Fooled the British."
We have always been defined by a fierce independence and sharp thinking here on the Shore. Today, we're proud to look back and salute the Talbot County patriots who stood their ground right in our backyard. 🦅✨

Barbers by trade, carvers by passion, legends forever.

If you ask any serious decoy collector in the country where the heart of American sporting art beats, they’ll point straight to the lower Eastern Shore, specifically Crisfield, MD, home of Lem and Steve Ward.

By day, they ran a barbershop, just like their father. But in their downtime, they transformed simple blocks of white cedar into some of the most sought-after, anatomically perfect waterfowl art in history. They transitioned from carving working "counterfeits" for market hunters to creating museum-quality decorative masterpieces. Today, an original Ward Brothers bird can fetch well over six figures at auction!

Who has a connection to the decoy tradition? Do you collect vintage birds, carve your own, or have a classic decoy sitting on your fireplace mantle right now?

Share your favorite carver or drop a photo of your mantle piece in the comments!

There are two philosophies in the duck blind, and everyone seems to have a strong opinion once the first flock starts working. 🦆

Team Break-Action (Over/Under or Side-by-Side): You value balance, classic lines, quick reloading at a wide angle, and making those first two shots count. Two shells, pure tradition, no cycling issues.

Team Semi-Auto: You live for that third shot on a clean-up, the reduced recoil on heavy duck loads, and the raw reliability of modern gas and inertia systems when the weather turns nasty.

If you could only carry ONE into the blind for the rest of your life, which one are you reaching for?

Let's hear your choice and why in the comments! 👇

We’ve all shared a blind with someone who did that one thing that made everyone slowly turn their heads in disbelief🫣

Every hunting crew has its unspoken code of conduct, but there are a few Cardinal Sins in the blind that will get you relegated to coffee-pouring duty for the rest of the season.

What is the #1 unwritten rule violation in your book?

❌ Skybusting at birds that are 80 yards out?

❌ Calling over someone else when the birds are already committed?

❌ Pouring steaming coffee right when the ducks drop their feet?

❌ Forgetting the breakfast sandwiches?

Confess the worst offense you've witnessed (or accidentally committed) below! 👇
