Where he hunting,

We had 6 experienced dogs, 4 wirehairs, 1 gsp, 1 lab.

Southwest, chase-perkins counties

Worst nebraska opener since 1980. Very little corn and milo harvested. foggy-mist, grass was soaking wet both saturday and sunday. Saw 2 birds on the road the entire weekend. So much for the 40% increase per the DOW??? I wouldn't waste your time hunting Nebraska.

I bought a 870 wingmaster 28 ga. at the Loveland Scheels for $800, its in good shape, 2 3/4" only but has rem chokes. might find one on gunbroker or ??

I was sick and unable to hunt Nebraska this opener (first time since 1981). My sons and a bunch of their buddies (8 guys and 6 good dogs) hunted SW Nebraska opener and managed 1 rooster saturday and a handful Sunday. Worst hunting I can ever recall. Nebraska is a waste of time, little crp...

Any reports from SW Nebraska? Curious how the cover is looking and if there was a decent hatch? Mail carrier reports didn't look too optimistic.:mad: Thanks in Advance.

Have to agree Nebraska is not worth the license fee-time, worst season I can remember since 1981 (except for maybe 1985 when a blizzard killed 95% of the birds). CRP is getting taken out of the program, what's left is hayed-grazed, hoping CRP will make a comback under the current administration???

Get a German wirehair, the poodle blood in them makes for no shedding. Awesome dogs, great pointers, like the water, can take cold, burrs don't stick to their fur....

Nebraska DOW guys always told me 10:1 is the ideal ratio of hens to roosters (moral of the story if there are alot of birds, shoot the roosters!)

I have heard Remington is back operating? Any ideas when they will be accepting orders?

Pretty common, I have seen them fly 1/4 mile, start flying straight up them crash and burn, if you mark the line well you can find them, I have had many good pointing dogs step right over a dead dive bomber, labs will usually find them. Key point, mark the line, spot and walk straight to it.

Birdhunter6, Your assessment is dead on. I have hunted Nebraska for 40 years and this year is very disappointing, appears Nebraska DOW over stated the bird counts? The CRP haying won't help matters unless they get a ton of moisture this winter and spring. Hoping for a better 2021.

My sons are both southpaws (as is my brother) and they all shoot SBK left handed automatics. SBK is based out of Omaha, the owner bought out all the patents-inventory of SBK, these guns are made in Turkey and they are light, shoot very well. I personally shoot the right hand version with the...

Anyone have a extra barrel set for a legacy Beretta BL3? I have had this gun for 40 years and the barrel is separating between the under and lower barrels. Probably not feasible to get it soldered-repaired? Always shot it well for pheasants and ducks so hoping to keep it servicable. thanks
