Wow that sounds great! I haven't hunted Montana, but I hunt western ND, and if it's anything like that you're gonna have a blast.

Hello from just south of Ft Worth, welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum!

Good luck and let us know how it goes. I'm headed to the southeast part of NM today to hunt blue quail this weekend. Was there for a weekend in Nov. Way more cover in that part of the state this year compared to the last two. They got tons of rain in that area in the first half of '21. (general...

Congrats, that's a heck of a find!

My problem is that I've used my new Sweet 16 for 5 seasons now, and I'm seriously attached to it. Can't imagine letting it go, so if I end up getting the new Ultimate, I'd be doubling-up. Which I very well might do!

I agree. That's some serious temptation right there.

That's interesting, the birds that do the death climb and then plummet are usually stone-dead when you get to them. Glad to hear that you flushed good numbers of hens!

NIce report, thanks! Glad y'all got into some birds, sounds like a great late-season hunt.

I've had mine since '17, and I couldn't be happier. I've got the 26" barrel and I got real lucky with the wood, it's real nice. Just a joy to carry all day.

Nice report, sounds like a real good trip other than the bad news about your brother. Sorry to hear that. I'm with you on the morning routine. I like to eat breakfast fairly early and then spend a couple of hours driving around scouting.

I was in the Mitchell Cabela's two days ago. Nowhere near as much ammo as the opening week, which was 3 weeks ago now. All the pallets were gone. What they had fit on one short aisle, and a couple of endcaps. I didn't pay much attention because I didn't need any ammo, just kinda strolled through...

Nice report, thanks!

Exactly. I love Remingtons, I've shot 870's and 1100's my whole life. But 4 years ago I got one of the new Sweet 16's, it weighs 5 lbs 14 oz and was a game-changer for me. Can't imagine going back to carrying heavy guns around.

Good choice, I'm sure your dad will enjoy that 20. My wife has two 20ga Vipers and really likes them both.

Ammo update for anyone coming to the Mitchell area, or maybe passing through here on their way elsewhere- Cabela's now has a huge assortment of pheasant shells in stock. Numerous pallets of 4's, 5's, 6's.....Federal, Win, Rem, Kent. Mostly 12ga, but a fair amount of 16, 20, and 28ga too. I...

I dropped by there on my way to ND about 10 days ago. They had 16ga and 28ga prairie storm for $30-35 per box. A small amount of 12ga 1 & 1/8oz target loads. Didn't notice if they had steel shot. The Walmart had a pretty good amount of 12ga lead pheasant loads. Prairie Storm 4's for $23 I...

Those are great pictures, thanks!!!

My wife and I hunted on public land, I think it was BLM. I use the OnX app on my phone, and it's pretty easy to see where the public land is. There are lots of dirt/gravel roads criss-crossing the public parcels, due to all the oilfield activity. Most of the roads are extremely rough, but 4wd...

I hunted one day last season in the SW panhandle, and it was bleak. Dry as a bone, very thin cover. We hunted a little over half a day and saw one covey of about 10 birds. In an average year, we would've seen 5 coveys of 25 birds or so on the same walks that we made that day. There's been a...
