Thought I did once. Was at a public hunting parking lot in spring and something caught my eye off to the side of the parking lot maybe 30 feet, was some trees and i could see a gun barrel rested against one of the trees. I pushed my way in there and it was a BB gun

It throws a tight pattern to about 30 yards, and a killing pattern to about 40. Impv modified threw a tight pattern to 50 and a killing pattern to about 65 but i have no use for that. Lethality of the pellets is to about 75-80yds. It patterns ridiculously tight, too tight for most people.

Factory tss is a bit on the expensive side, and turkey loads of course are as well. However im loading at $2/shell, and the next "best" premium shell i can buy is golden pheasant 3" 20ga at $30/box ($1.20/shell). I can load the 3" lead for a lot less, but plenty of people are out there shooting...

I am loading the 3/4oz load from ballistic products load of the week archives, the one with CTSP wad and longshot powder in 20ga.

$2 a shell

I promised I would share a TSS report from this season. Unfortunately due to some family illness and other issues I didn't get out as much as i would have liked. However late season I did shoot several roosters with 3/4oz TSS #9. All were dead in the air instantly, shots all under 35 yards using...

I carried a 22 pistol for a bit, to shoot sleeping coons in the grass. Now i carry one of those adapter things that lets you shoot a 410 shell in a bigger barrel. I put a 2.5" #4 lead in them now. Both worked, the adapter and a half doz 410 shells is lighter

You cannot have, in your possession, a loaded or accessable pistol or rifle while attempting to take waterfowl. Its a federal law. Your right to carry pertains to the shotgun in your possession and does not give you the right to carry a pistol as well while hunting migratory birds. I brought...

You cant have your glock while waterfowl hunting, not even with a permit.

He recently purchased this plot and it was already in some sort of CRP, they would not transfer any of the assistance to him with the purchase. Im sure im not wording it right, im not a farmer. He leases out the crop ground around it to pay the taxes/loan. Hes just a deer hunter, which is why I...

I talked to a farmer last week that is trying to get 50 acres into crp. He has been unsuccessful in getting any assistance for the last two years but let it go natural anyways for deer cover (absolutely full of pheasants). This coming spring he is going to till it up for corn

Cant fire a shot at a rooster before or after legal. Some people think you cannot leave the parking lot until legal in the morning as well, but that is not the case unless the area has usage times. Can always be hunting "rabbit", which closes at sunset most places so usually after phez closing...

Today I hunted the same spot as last time, with just a dusting of snow and a very light wind they held. Only had opportunities on two roosters, but both are in the refrigerator from one shot each at about 25 yards after great lab points. The dog put up 38 hens and two roosters today. Never seen...

I noticed the same thing last time out, on virgin private land even. Hens held, roosters took off on the dogs and ran for 100yds then flew. None in cattails or tall bluestem, all were in the short knee high clumps of canary grass out in the open. Wasnt even any in the timbers where they always...

Could always try the climate change angle. Winter is coming later and later

My first of the year yesterday was a pretty nice one as well. We need snow bad, and got some today.. just not enough! Might still happen by the end

Rabbits i can sort of understand, but i just dont understand how dogs can chase deer. That's such an easy thing to train a dog not to do from a puppy, if your dog chases deer more than once its just pure laziness on the trainer. Collar condition the dog before ever entering a field, and call the...
