I really feel bass pro buying cabelas completely ruined it as the final nail in the coffin. They seem to have less and less hunting gear now and more crossover fishing gear from bass pro. BP said they were going to leave cabelas as hunting/outdoors but ive noticed a change too, especially with...

Both. Around here its either double planted with late season soybeans (winter wheat/rye harvested in june and then beans planted and harvested in late October), or its used as a cover crop and then sprayed off and corn/beans are no tilled in it in may.

Salt creek ammo will do bismuth. 7s would be the ideal size, similar to shooting #8/#8.5 lead.

A straight away shot is pretty rare for me, almost always they are going to one side just a little. But just come up on the tail, then cover the whole bird with the barrel and squeeze it off while you are still rising above it. Knowing if your gun shoots 60/40 50/50 40/60 is important too. With...

I always seem to do better on "windy" days (15mph). On those 20+ blow days you can forget about it, and on calm blue bird days (5-10) they always seem to be standing on field edges and run for a mile before flushing.

How does your mag tube look? Rusting/pitting on the mag tube causing the gas check to not seal properly is the main reason for poor cycling on these. Have had that issue myself. Not much you can do about it, if this is the case. You could try a new gas check/seal but the new style are pretty...

Well I will just say I missed two shots at roosters last season, zero this year. The two i missed i focused on the head and tried to snipe it. Went 164 doves in 221 shots this year Dont know my waterfowl numbers, haven't been counting, and hard to with multiple people shooting. Im not the...

Wind shifts all pellets equally, basically moves your whole pattern over. With that being said there is another variable being deformed shot, if your lead shot is deformed due to setback it will cause the pattern to be disrupted by wind. Lead usually cuts through wind just fine, steel gets...

If you are looking at any part of a bird, you are about to hit it in the butt (or miss behind). You have to ID the bird, pull up on bird, then swing through the bird to the appropriate lead out front without staring with eyes locked on the bird. Those who lock onto the bird and ignore their...

Ive seen you post on several forums bashing police. Its nothing new. You got "civil" responses from those who dont know the pattern, you got smartass real world answers from those of us who knew this was just a way for you to vent about your anti-police/anti-dnr crap

Ive met guys that definitely save money hunting them. No dog or just house dog, old orange hat, 870 with whatever lead shot was in the closet, and out killing birds. Between guns, shells, gear, dog, dog gear, dog training... Im doing okay, down to roughly $1300/lb now. Wouldn't have it any...

Just need the tailgate seal kit, its about $15 on Amazon. It cut down 90%+ of the dust in the two trucks I installed them on. That and plug the vent holes in the bed if they are open.

Check out salt creek ammo, they can custom load about anything. They are FFL manufacturers and specialize in TSS and Bismuth. I know Keith has done several batches of short old gun ammo for guys.

You would likely have had no repercussions, the liability is on the shipper. You would have gotten a letter saying a package in transit was intercepted and to call the number for more information.

Minnhunter, you were on a gravel road in Iowa during pheasant season, with dogs/guns/orange in the truck. You were technically in the act of hunting whether you considered yourself to be or not, those ditches on each side are legal to hunt and driving around road hunting is very common and legal...

They usually always start the conversation with "been hunting?" And if you say no the say "on your way out?" They need to know one of those is true before they can check your license. Same if he pulled you over, if you say no you always wear your orange hat and just on your way to town to get...

In Iowa they can pull you over if they suspect you are going to/from hunting or fishing activities. Ive not been pulled over, but passed one of the wardens I know last year on a hwy going from one area to the next and he rubber necked HARD. Still wearing orange, i couldnt believe he didnt stop...

Ive worn their gunflint 400g for years, as long as I am moving/standing ive never gotten cold feet. Usually the opposite, hot and sweaty. The pair i bought last year tore at a stitched seam this summer and their customer service is awesome! They couldn't locate a replacement pair anywhere so...

Shoot a pattern and find out. It wont be too tight i can guarantee. But you never know, might throw a perfect pattern or you may be tossing up a pattern so bad you have a better chance at a miss or cripple than a kill. You just dont know

Yeah unfortunately thats the case with most bismuth that I test as well. Then at 40 its a real struggle to get it back to even and tight. From the sounds of it, might be a little tough to find an all-around choke with that shell. The good thing is, 40 yards is about the max for those 5s so you...
