About 3 years ago decided to spend more on boots than my standard Wingshooters. Bought Meindle’s. So did my hunting buddy. Not been a good experience. Rubber toe guard falling off. Both sent the first pair back after 10’days of hunting. Now just shoe glue them and live with it. I will say they...

For sake of discussion Goose, do you agree that the standard 2 3/4” 20 gauge load of 1 oz of number 5 or 6 shot at 1200-1350 FPS is a good pheasant round?

Don’t tell Bob that. That pea shooter only wounds birds. 😂😳

I use two of the large ones. Mainly cooking stuff and food in mine. Buddy uses the small one. They work well.

The main new thing for me this year was the Mud River Seat Organizer. Worked great and can’t believe I don’t have one before this. Holds 3 guns plus small pockets for other stuff which we used for ammo mostly. Easy in and out with the guns. Only down side was 32” barrel O/U wouldn’t fit in it...

Used can be found for $5500-$6000.

Goose - google is your friend. Found a bunch of them from used to new. Good luck.

My small sample from this year was 2 3/4” with Mod and IM choke. Very effective. Forgot but last year and year prior I lost my Pro 550 plus controller. Was experimenting with not having on my belt but on strap of vest. When I undid the vest it fell. First time I walked right to it as I was...

I will say I am as tight with a nickel as anyone but I have made the decision that when I have to stay someplace while traveling with guns I am going to spend a few more dollars and upgrade the location to lower the risk. I know it doesn’t guarantee there won’t be a problem but I sleep way...

Always have the back up gun in the truck with us. I worry more if we are staying in a hotel then I do out in the field. Maybe it will bite me one of these times but so far has been fine.

Hope everyone had a great day.

My hunting partner has one that each of the last two years. This year no big deal we were 30’ from it. Last year it entailed almost a mile walk for him back to where he put the last bird in his vest but he found it.

No grab ass. Rule #1. I’m trying to figure out Goose’s line between grab ass and way to seriously. It appears to be a pretty narrow area to stay in. 😂

Nothing real consistent but I did lose truck keys one year. Luckily I always have back up set in truck after reading a story in middle of nowhere MT that lost his with no back ups.

Good luck and keep us posted.
