Shells are shells. I hunt a lot and I’m sure guys on here more than me, I don’t think we can duplicate enough scenarios to notice a trend. Last year I hunted exclusively with PS and Wing Shok and shot slot of birds. This year ran out of those early on and then shot Kent, silver box winchesters...

I think we all strive for 0% loss rate. I’ve shot around 50 this year and haven’t lost to many. We’re all up against something different. I rate my dog at a 7.5 on finding down birds. Any time a bird drops I get nervous. I run like a track star to the spot and try to recover ASAP. IMO SD birds...

Prove it or it ain’t true

I agree with BB. Not to many times do our good friends do something that surprises us. We know who they are. This thread has made me think about who I hunt with. They do some things that drive me nuts, so when I’m fuming in the field I have to remind myself that they’re not doing any thing that...

So what’s your guys description of dry feet? The more I hunt the smarter I get about keeping my feet dry. I wear the cabelas expedition boot. If you get them on sale you can get them for $40. There not like walking on a cloud but not bad. If I walk in sloppy mud, dry feet, 4 inches of submerged...

Gotta 24” one today….long tails are the best!

A young man, and his first bird.

It was 1990, I was in 5th grade. At Christmas my Uncle sold me a Stevens single shot 4-10 and case for $75. We were farmers and my dad didn’t hunt, so I went out alone. No one told me how to handle the gun, the hammer was to hard to cock so I just walked around with it pulled back. Our neighbors...

Ooops read it wrong! Man that sucks. Sounds like something is not resetting in the trigger. If you’ve broke it down and cleaned I’d try just cycling a few shells. If you got some dummy shells try dry firing some.

Always slam the bolt. Either use bolt release or pull bolt back and let it snap the shell in. I fell once and butt hit the ground hard and jarred bolt loose which cause my next shot to click. Also when I walk through thick weeds or small trees I reset the bolt when I get out to ensure it didn’t...

Shot a Mossberg 500 all my life. Decided to get an auto and went with a M2. It was between that and a Fonchi Afinity. If my wife would have surprised me with the Frochi I would have been perfectly happy too. Bought my daughter a Frochi 20 for first gun later on. Both pull up nice, benelli is a...

My guess the pasture was never in the farm program or had no base. He needed to farm it to creat a value. He knew it was crap so that’s why he didn’t farm it. His CRP payment where based on grazing prices not farming it

I’ll be for team “Goose”! Army surplus camo are the team colors.

I just want to see a actual picture of the cast…..The Cousin, The Nephew, Goose, standing next to the truck with beverages in hand!!

Got birdy 5 min after sunset and found him a rooster I couldn’t shoot…..🤦

I haven’t bought any of the tools yet but watched a couple videos on how to set and remove game from various traps. I’m gonna go to the store too and put my hands on them. Being calm and sound judgement in an intense situation is priceless.

DANG!😳 Fo you even like him?

Hunted SD opening weekend. Limited out with a fairly large group on Saturday and did ok on Sunday. On Sunday hunted a lot of stripped corn. I feel the numbers are up, I agree that a lot of the birds where young, some barely showing color. I do think the key is water.

Been thinking about this all last week getting ready for the opener. Decided on modified. First couple birds saw a lot of feathers explode. As the day went on flushes got farther out. Made a lot of nice long shots, birds dead too, not very many runners. Leaning modified
