According to Boss's Facebook page, this exact article was posted and the owner responded with he isn't worried because the US doesn't have to rely so heavily on other countries for Copper, it can be purchased in the US and so prices and supply shouldn't be an issue. I find that answer hard to...

Looks like the FM from the grain driers that comes out when grain is being transferred and run through the dryer. Farmers will clean this stuff up in a bobcat bucket and dump it in fields. birds and wildlife will eat it as feed even though it really isn't food (corn/beans etc...)

Finally a normal winter!! Keep some of the fair-weather hunters at home and let us late season guys have some fun :giggle:

In years past I have always sent a Christmas card to farmers that have allowed me to hunt their land with a handwritten letter.

As far as hunting related goes, I fell a couple years ago on some slick ice walking the edge of some cattails. I fell and dislocated my shoulder and was about a mile from the truck, temps were around 0 with about a -10 windchill. Trying to carry my gun, keep the dogs in check and navigate...

I always bring at least 2 guns with me, even on day trips but when I head out of state I bring 3 with. I usually always bring my A400 20ga and then usually one or both of my A400 28ga's.

Boss is nothing more than a great marketing company. Sure, they make great ammo, but with the switch to copper they are selling something that according to them is as good if not better than the bismuth it replaces even though they have no real-world data from hunters to back it up. It's ironic...

My dad was born in 1950 and hunted western MN and IA in his late teens and early twenties, he said back then it was easy to get on private land. Limits were almost a given even without a dog. The stories my uncle and he would tell make me wish I was born back then, to see some of the stuff they...

I went through this exact thing a couple years back on MN opener with my 13-year-old lab at the time. She had a hard time making it through cover that years past she would have flown through. I shot 2 different birds, and she didn't even see them and barely heard me shoot. I knew at that moment...

I have talked to a couple places/lodges that claim all wild birds, I told them great I am sold. But then I hit them with a question that always seems to make them backtrack. I ask them that if all their birds are wild, I shouldn't have to worry about shooting a bird with flared nostrils, right...

Crispi or Kenetrek, both are great boots. They are both spendy but will last multiple years with proper care.

Totally agree, I have had mine for a couple years and love it. I hunt with a bunch of guys and we all switched to Final Rise from our Wings Works and not one of us has a single complaint!

Boss makes a 100% copper shot, it's their replacement for bismuth. I believe there are 1 or 2 other companies following suit to Boss. Luckily I have plenty of Bismuth in the safe to last me a couple of years so no worries here.

Why do you say it's a short-range gun? I have no issues with my 28ga out to 40yds. 1oz of #5's out of a 28ga at 1350fps is no different than 1oz of #5's out of a 12ga. Birds don't know the difference, just a little smaller pellet count. Need to be slightly more disciplined when shooting a 28ga.

Would like to get a Beretta 688 as a dedicated target gun and if Beretta would ever come out with it, I would love to get a .410 A400 to complete my set. Wishful thinking on my part for the .410 :ROFLMAO:
