    Fields that didn’t get taken out were too wet to spray, this is the most I’ve seen in central and NW North Dakota.

    Outlook from those on the ground

    Central to NW corner should be really good seeing lots of birds, beans, corn, flowers going to come off late due to getting planted late. Hun coveys are ginormous, might be a lot of duck hunters around the countryside with the border being shutdown, as always things can vary quite a bit, cover...

    Spring Birds

    I’m located in Minot, we don’t have huge numbers but my guess is the hatch was good, phez chicks look big and healthy, huns hatched out big coveys, cover looks awesome, although it didn’t rain early there was a lot of standing water which hatched a lot of insects. This could be the best year in...

    Charles Daly by Beretta

    Last year started taking my Charles Daly Empire supposedly made by Beretta SxS 12 gauge in the field, as an O/U Shooter primarily I was surprised how much more natural the sxs felt. Found a stablemate in 20 gauge that I snared for 500 bucks on the GB. It had some miles on it but I was surprised...

    Franchi Instinct SL 16 gauge

    On Franchis website it looks like they are going to enter the realm of the 16 gauge. It has a listed weight of 5.8 lbs the exactt same as their 20. I can only find a 28 inch barrel version. It will be nice to have another option in the limited 16 gauge front.

    Enjoying some mild winter weather I decided to go try a few new guns out including the new A5, a 1962 Stevens 311a, and the Winchester model 24 all in 16 gauge. First up was the Stevens I shot it marginally well but decided it needs a pad to increase lop. Next up was the Winchester model 24...
