What's the best scope for a shotgun for deer hunting?

I just got a Winchester SX3 for deer hunting and backup gun for pheasants. Anyone else have a SX3 and how do you like it?

I'm looking to sell a Belgium Browning A5 full choke 30in barrel 12 ga for $800. Very nice condition, but there is a small stress fracture in the stock. I would say mainly a collectors gun since it is full choke and heavy.

Thank goodness for UPH, its great members & moderators that make this possible. I've checked out some other forums and they just don't compare.

Who's going to Pheasant Fest at the end of January in Omaha?

I was thinking about getting the Bone Collector by Thompson Center for deer hunting in Iowa. Anyone else have this gun or any other recommendations?

It was a lucky day today. I broke my shooting slump, Dad got his first birds of the season, and only seen roosters. Hit a piece of public ground today, it was more like a forest of trees and brush. I saw tracks in the snow where somebody had walked the north side of the public area, so we...

As the years go bye, I'm curious to what degree are you able to pheasant hunt as you get older for a die hard bird hunter? For those 50-60, 60-70, and 70-80, assuming a person is relatively healthy at those ages. Ex. Can you walk through knee deep snow for a mile? Or Can you still walk...

Have you ever owned or hunted with a dog that mainly pointed or flushed roosters? Years ago I hunted behind a GSP that mainly pointed roosters. When hunted with him and his owner, it was usually late season yet the dog pointed roosters probably in a 10/1 ratio (roosters/hens) or better. I...

For those that shoot a SxS, Do you think shooting a SxS gives you faster or more natual target aquistion? Most upland shots behind dogs are 15-30 yds. I'm thinking the wider plane would be better, though I do not have a SxS.

Since we are half way through the season, How many people have taken more than 12 roosters in Iowa so far?

Nice picture of Jmc in Gun Dog magazine. Jim keep up the good work.

I'm predicting that approx. 300,000 roosters will be harvested in Iowa this season. We will not set a new record low again. Based on early crop harvest and if the weather stays nice.

It seems like the state dog for SD is the Lab and for the state of KS it is the GSP. Based on terrain, weather, and hunter's party size are there any other factors why one dog would be more popular in certain state?

Anyone watch the hunting show called Gun It on Versus? Part of the show tonight was a SD road hunt in an RV. In SD do you need your gun in a case inside the vehicle? Can you have a loaded gun in the car? These guys came piling out the RV and were blazing away. A definate new low for...

Which do you prefer? To live and hunt in an area with alot of birds and many hunters or to live and hunt in an area with not as many birds and little hunting pressure.

Going to convince some farmers to get rid of the brome grass and replace with praire grasses. What do you use to spray brome to get a good kill and can it be done from May-June in SW Iowa? How long do you have to wait to reseed? Thanks.

If your looking for a new vest, I would highly recommend the Wing Works Vest. I bought mine from PF Market Place.

Another sleepless night, as we bird hunters await 8:00 AM tomorrow. Wishing Good Luck, Good Times, and Good Shooting to those pursing Iowa's ringnecks.

I shot some Blackcloud #3's today for the first time and they were hammering the ducks. If the Praire Storm performs like the Blackcloud I be switching to them. I'll try the PS on pheasants this weekend. #6 in 1st barrel and #4 in 2nd barrel.
