A 725 Feather. Got the 12 ga version 6 years ago. About 3 years ago I decided to add a 20. I have had my eye out for one and finally got one through Gunbroker. The 12 will probably come out for late season.

After a few years of looking I picked up a 20. It is time to start picking up some shells. While there is stuff on the shelf it still seems to be a take what you can get situation, Any recommendations? How do 2 and 3/4" work?

I seem to have gotten through this one with only 2-3". Bird numbers still look decent and things shoud really start opening up next week.

6 years ago I bought a 725 Feather 12ga and fell in love with it. A few years ago, I decided to add another in 20ga. Post Covid, I finally got one through Gunbroker a few weeks ago. It felts great in my hands. Now to get some 20 ga loads.

I think that the westward spread of soybeans may have helped them get through the winter. There is almost no stubble on those fields so they have tended to open up a little sooner and allow access to some food.

I have been out of town a few times now and there are birds out there. Some hilltops are opening up in bean fields. I am at least somewhat optimistic although the long term forecast for next month doesn't look quite as good.

I bought a box of Prairie Storm a number of years ago. Took them out and tried them on late season birds. The birds cooperated that day and I struggled and shot more shells than usual to get my 3. I put them away till I bought a new Browning 725 Feather over/under and did some informal...

Took a short drive last night and things didn't look as bleak out there as what I feared. Saw a few birds. Some spots in fields blown almost clean and cover not completely buried. It's not going to be easy but there will be some hunting to do.

Winchester SXP pump. Lighter than similar guns and a good choke tube system.

We got about 15 or 16 where I am at. The only good thing was that it was relatively cold and it was not a real wet and heavy snow. The season was going better than I thought it would.

Why would anyone set these at a public hunting area?

The stores look they they are going to have to expand their ammo departments. There is a lot on the shelves but they are still lacking in quite a few calibers and loads. I really haven't seen anything that I really looking for yet. I can see where there might be some good discounts on...

I have not heard of dogs being stolen from vehicles out in the field. I wonder if the motel would be cool with you leaving them there in their kennels? Maybe get one of those things that block the light from coming in the windshield and park facing east or SE. That would help give you a...

I am kind of West/Central. Kind of a grind. A little spotty but there are birds out there. Usually get 1 or 2. Limits are rare. Probably a majority are old birds.

An observation so far. A lot of the young of the year birds a quite young. Not a lot of color on them. You can find birds but not a lot to shoot at. It seems to be mature hens and real young birds out there.

They can still post with physical signs only. The deadline has passed for posting electronically so there won't be anymore added to that this year or overnight during the season. There is land posted electronically that has been unposted in past years...

It seems to be on satellite imagery. It is a long relatively narrow strip west of Lemmon. I doubt it would have much impact this year overall. Maybe some reduced numbers in small areas. It would be interesting to see what this looks like down the road when it grows back.

It went down as a pretty good year. Bird numbers were up somewhat overall, but spotty. Some places had good numbers and some were down. Even if they were only a few miles apart. Hun numbers were up even though I only shot a couple. The annual late season trip to the "prime pheasant range"...

Same here. Got the 12 and would like to add a 20.

I have noticed there are a whole lot of large shiny new grain bins on the landscape out there. We appear to be overproducing and something fundamentally needs to change or will gov't keep on subsidizing overproduction. I still see cases around me of grassland being converted to crops.
