That's a nice shotgun. Might be one of the lightest ones on the market in a 12 gauge/26 inch barrel. You definitely do not want to be shooting 3 inchers through that thing.

I haven't used a lot of shotguns in my hunting days. Mostly, because I haven't had to. What I have I like, and they do their job effectively. I tried even just 3 inchers with my Montrefelto and it was nasty. Like bone jarring recoil lol. It felt like someone punched me in the face. Never...

Have you tried shooting a 3.5 inch load? Its like shooting a cannon. Its awful. And the lighter the shotgun, the worse it is. Most upland hunters use a light weight shotgun too. I use a 3.5 load for turkeys but its just one shot/season (if I'm lucky), with a heavier gun that has a...

I'd be lying if I said I "never" have done it. I have. Someone has to keep Federal in business. Over time I've just come to realize that the chances of success at that range using an IC choke is very remote though. The vast majority of my shots are closer in range because 1) my dog works...

My understanding here is that both states would have to agree to it, and Congress needs to approve it. Good luck with that. Its like trying to turn the titanic

I'm in full disagreement with this but you do you. I don't even raise my shotgun if a rooster flushes at 45 yards.

I cross checked the UPC number on the boxes today comparing the old Wing Shok to the new version. They are exactly the same product. Just a new design on the package.

None of those here. Literally, none of them. I use a toilet, I don't shoot hens, I've never pointed a gun at someone while hunting, and no one has ever pointed one at me. I've got control of my bowels, control of my shotgun, and I can tell the difference between a rooster and a hen. None of...

I'm fine with him gone. Half the "crap" he posts is so far removed from the realm of upland hunting it's ridiculous. I'm sure he was warned more than once and still didn't change. That being said, I mostly just ignored it.

He is on another forum I frequent and has not posted there in a while either. I can assure you 100% that he is not ice fishing though.

I know where Bob isn't. He's definitely not ice fishing.

Comparing wild birds on private land to flare nares is a stretch of unimaginable proportions. One set grows up in the wild evading predators, fights the elements, and needs to find food to survive. Flare nares are on the same level as domesticated poultry. They grow up in a barn with water...

Of course they do. I do every day I hunt deer. I know it down to the minute because when you deer hunt, minutes matter.

That could also be based solely on numbers. Simple math says if you have more participating, you're likely to have more problems too. Most deer hunting accidents or problems are related to tree stands. Not shooting others like our former vice president.

My wife drives a Rav4 Hyrbid and the mileage this time of year is not very good due to it using more engine/gasoline instead of EV power. In the warmer months, it gets close to 40 mpg and 600 miles/tank. Right now its down to 33 mpg and under 500 miles per tank. Its been cold here. I drive a...

I could really kinda care less about options 1 and 2. I don't usually start hunting until around 11 or noon anyways. Item number 3 is in need of a major change. Opening the season the second Saturday in October when its 75 degrees out and a sea of corn is ridiculous. It should more closely...

I'm good. That area is the land of rocks and crows. However, I could avoid the hefty lottery-drawn application and license fees they require nonresidents to hunt deer. Would save a guy about 500 bucks each season. And I could hunt pheasants an extra 10 days in January too.

I hunted without a dog for years too. I am on my first one right (yellow lab) who just finished her 13th season. Prior to that, I specifically hunted different habitat. I would not venture into very thick cover because I knew there was less of a chance of finding one. I hunted a lot of spots...

I know. I thought it would be more like that. I wanted to buy ammo and a vest and the offerings on that sort of thing were slim to none. I shouldn't bad mouth it so much, it just wasn't what I was expecting it to be.

I know, its a tough task they have.
