I think he is on something.... on what? Not a clue.

They have their orange Friday Dec 5th, you might get another chance...

I thought I had inserted a link in my previous post, but I didn't get it right(fixed now). They look very similar to elderberries. Elderberries are a little smaller and fruit in a crown or floret, Pokeberries fruit off of a central stem. I believe Elderberry are a perennial shrub, pokeberries...

In my part of the state (south Central) it's mostly grasses, there isn't much flat ground that isn't farmed. Most of where there is enough cover to support pheasants is to hilly to have sloughs or cattail patches.

I'm halfway between Des Moines and Missouri and I was on the south side of the system, I got 6" and another 1-4 inches today. Further north they got 12".

With those stems it look to me like Pokeberries

I've done that three times this year....

I have one that I got from my grandfather. I had decent success with it especially deer hunting. It has a flat ridge where the receiver meets the barrel that acts as a rear sight. It's effectively a single shot when it comes to bird hunting though, which was ok since mine has a bad magazine and...

A local gun shop has an old (I'd guess 60's) Beretta Silver Snipe 20ga that I'm considering, but mostly curious. It is a single trigger with no selector. He has a 12ga that I think is part of a set but I haven't looked at it closely. They are in great condition but certainly not too nice to use...

If steel is working for you, then there is no reason to switch. Unless you wanted to spend money unnecessarily. If that's the case, I've got a great deal for you....

No shade on you @BB but they block the muzzle blast and can still hear ambient sound? I struggle to believe that those passive(non-electronic) can block the dangerous sound and still pass through the "smaller" sounds.

What's that?? I second the importance of hearing, with the thickness of cover this year where I hunt, hearing is even more important to me. As much to know where my dogs are/went as it is for hearing flushes. If anyone has any recommendations for wind resistant active hearing protection...

Your symptoms sound very similar to an allergic reaction I had last year, except my symptoms appeared quicker(6-12 hours)

I keep having to remind myself of this when looking to buy shells....It really is such a small amount of the bird budget, but I haven't convinced my dutch self yet.

Nope, he is just blessed by him. He's got Iowa dirt and a wet spring/summer. The cover is so thick once a bird goes down you can't see it.
