    Pheasant Fest

    I would drive anywhere to attend, its after the season is over and gives me a good excuse to go and check out any new gear, guns, etc... Plus it's usually during winter and hell I would rather drive 8-10hrs to get out of the house for a extended weekend with the wife than sit and stare at the...

    Pup will be ready for next years pheasant season

    I pick up my new black lab puppy in the beginning of April. It will be my 3rd dog, luckily my oldest which just turned 14 is still around but her hearing is shot and her joints can't stand up to hunting anymore. This dog will be my 3rd different breeder and hopefully this will be another good...

    Boss Unmuzzled Bismuth load dissection and pattern performance for pheasants

    Bob- You would be really surprised at how effective a 28 is. It really isn't any different than a 20/16 or 12 you just loose some pellet count but if your on the bird your on it. I had no issues last year in SD late december after xmas taking down pheasants on public ground out to 40yds with my...

    Pheasant Fest

    Here was the booth at SCI. I am guessing if Beretta had a booth at Pheasant Fest it would have been similar to Browning/Benelli... I don't think they will ever do something like this at Pheasant Fest as it's only shotguns and obviously SCI is the entire gun lineup.

    Boss Unmuzzled Bismuth load dissection and pattern performance for pheasants

    Bob - Yes we have all shot lead and tungsten and I guess I should have worded my response better. For the cost of the shell and not having to deal with the hassle of switching all the time if walking IHAP or WIA land and then hunting state or federal land it's a no brainer. I will say that yes...

    Pheasant Fest

    If they were there with guns it must have been a small booth because we walked the show 4-5 times over 2 days and never noticed them??

    Boss Unmuzzled Bismuth load dissection and pattern performance for pheasants

    Remy, the reason we shoot them is we hunt 100% public land and with most public land being Non-tox we wanted to find something that worked well and wouldn't require switching shells from lead to non-tox if going from walk-in/Ihap/WIA land to state & federal ground.

    Boss Unmuzzled Bismuth load dissection and pattern performance for pheasants

    I am not sure if you have ever shot Boss in the field or were just doing this for data? But I can tell you first hand that out of a 20ga or 28ga Boss #5's, 4's & 3/5 combo are lethal on pheasants!! The group of guys I hunt with on a regular basis usually 5-7 guys over the course of the season...

    Pheasant Fest

    Browning was there and we didn't even bother stopping because they never have anything new other than a new camo pattern on the same old guns. I wish Beretta would come one year! In all the years I have been there they have yet to show up, which is strange as Benelli is always there and they are...

    I was there Thur-Sat and had a great time. Thursday night we went to the Film Fest at the Pourhouse, and friday night we went to the Live Flush podcast and the OnX afterparty. Hoping next year to attend some of the other nightly activities including the national banquet.

    Boot Cleaner & Leather Conditioner

    Like others have stated it depends on the boot. Kenetrek recommends using their oil as it is different then Obenaufs in the ingredients because Kenetrek uses a different leather. I have no complaints on the Kenetrek oil on their boots, I have 2 pairs one is 7 years old the other is 5 years old...

    28ga

    I shoot my A400 28's 90% of the season, and the other 10% is my A400 20. No issues with bringing birds down. A couple guys I hunt with are in the same boat as me, we love carrying a 28 around vs something bigger and heavier.

    Do you shoot coyotes while pheasant hunting?

    I shot 2 this year in SD and probably 5 total in the 28 years I've been going out to SD to hunt. No shortage of them around my house here in MN, they are coming into residential areas and grabbing small dogs from people's backyards.

    Emergency Haying in SD

    Curious what anyone that actually lives in SD knows about how the Emergency haying works? I have hunted in SD for over 25 years and the past couple years the haying has been extensive! Some of the ground whether CREP or Walk In has been hayed numerous years in a row. I know when a land owner...

    What's the Consensus of Pheasant Hunters

    All the guys I hunt with it's all we shoot. I shoot a 3/5 combo out of my 20ga and #4's & 5's out of my 28ga. When the time comes to need more shells for my 20 I will buy 5's for that as well. The nice thing about boss is it's copper plated bismuth so it's heavier than steel but not up to lead...

    SE SD not too bad….

    We just returned from the same area of the state and had very similar results. Hunted Tues-Fri and the first 2 days were great with warm temps and soft snow, the last 2 days the dogs took a beating and it was tough walking. We saw plenty of birds and came home a few birds short of our 3 man...
