Beretta A400 in either 20 or 28, I love having 2 guns that are virtually the same. One just offers a little bit more of a challenge.

The first event in KC was in 2012 and was held towards the end of February. It has been the middle to end of February for almost 15 years. I think they got the hint many years ago that some southern states still had seasons going and moved the dates to make it more appealing to those people...

I'm on my 3rd lab right now, I have a 9-year-old and an almost 2-year-old. Both dogs are trained to return/recall with the tone function on their e-collars. If they are on scent they will run as far as I will let them, but if they get further than 30-35 yds, I recall them, and they can pick the...

If the body of water/slough is on private property it can't be hunted unless you have permission. Asked a CO in SD about this as MN you can access it. We were curious because years ago we were duck hunting in SD and wanted to hunt a slough that started on a WPA and transitioned to private...

That I am not sure on, I bought it 2 years ago at pheasant fest in Omaha and I am not sure if the summit XT was released yet at that time?

The weight is a big improvement, we weighed the vests side by side and the final rise is over 1lb lighter than the wings works. 1lb may not sound like much but when you're wearing it for as long as we do some days it all adds up. Other improvements are the vented back, as the wings works isn't...

If your looking for non-tox for your 28, I would give Boss a good look. It's all the I shoot and the guys I hunt with shoot. I have 2 28's that I shoot, both A400's and I shoot a combo of 2 3/4 4's and 3" 5's out of them and have no issues with killing birds all season. Just wanted to give you a...

The final rise vest is based off of the wings works vest which is the original do all strap vest. I have talked to Matt (owner) of final rise numerous times and he openly admitted that in his eyes the wings works vest was the best vest on the market for a long time. He and some hunting friends...

I started walking with my dad when I was 5, I remember all the railroad tracks we would walk back when no one cared it you were doing it. By the time I was 12 and able to take a shotgun with, I was well seasoned from all the walks I went on with my dad. Shortly after that when I was 13 is when...

No I don't quit hunting MN, but it's a lot closer for my to drive to Iowa from my house than it is to drive to SW or W MN. I can get to really good spots in IA in around an hour, to get to some of the good spots I know in MN I would be looking at 2-2.5 hours. Plus I'm done by 4:30 no matter what...

Go with a final rise summit, you won't be disappointed with your purchase!

Went out this past Saturday to a new spot of IHAP we stumbled upon opening weekend. We were only able to hunt a small portion of it due to a deer hunter being on the larger section of it, but in the 40 acres or so we got to walk we easily saw 50-60 birds and a covey of Huns. We were only able to...

I have hunted a lot of IHAP over the years, I would say that 75% of the public I hunt in IA is IHAP and we always find birds. Two weeks ago we put a couple of hens up and then put up a surprise covey of huns. Needless to say my buddy missed on them and was less than happy! I will say that the...

I think the cons are just the sound that it picks up that I don't need or want to hear, like my boots going through the cover and also the directional issue I mentioned. The soundgears do a good job of cutting wind noise so I like that and I also like the amplification of sounds that are 75yds...

I will agree with your review, I don't have this specific brand as I have the soundgear's that are custom molded as well. I will agree that the sounds at 75yds + is cool to have amplified. I don't need the sound of my feet going through the brush amplified. The pair I have has 4 different...

You won't be disappointed good choice on the purchase!

I have a WW and Final Rise, both are great vests! I never thought I would retire my WW vest, but after talking to Matt the owner of Final Rise and listening to him talk about his products you can tell he is a die hard bird hunter. The whole reason he started making the vests was because he...

You would be surprised, opening morning I easily saw over 100+ birds before 9am start time. I had over a dozen roosters land within 15 yards of my truck in the parking area. If you find good habitat, the birds are there.

Yes sir, we found the bird numbers in that area weren't what we were hoping for, so we did some scouting and moved around and found good numbers within 45 mins of that area.

Just returned from NC SD, and I must say it was a pleasant surprise. We had heard reports of the bird numbers being up and well we were surprised to actually see them up like people had talked about. I will say the areas we hunted we haven't been to in probably 5-7 years, but it was a drastic...
