I prefer longer barrels. Been using my 28 gauge this week in SD with 32” barrels. My 16 gauge Rizzini has 29”. Some is personal opinion. Some guys like 26” but for me they seem too whippy. Had a 20 gauge I moved along to someone new as I just couldn’t shoot it. Good luck.

Does that mean a trip to the northwest territories is in your future???😳

That is interesting. After 4 days, in a different part of the state, we are seeing way more older birds then this years hatch.

Where we are there is vast areas with 70% still standing. Combines are running but not full out. I am guessing late season is gonna be really good!!

You are on a roll this morning. The extra hour of sleep must have been good to you. 😄

Tho k you are on to something there BB. Might want to market that.

No trip to Northwest Territories needed on these two old guys.

Hunting with an O/U makes shell retrieval very easy. I would say on a normal year I don’t leave a single hull in the field.

Sounds like a great run of hunting for sure. Great memories! All the best going forward.

Love to hear a story like yours. No one is ever gonna say preserve birds are the same as wild but they sure as hell beat no birds!! I’ve quail hunted in Georgia with the dog set up you describe. I’ve not seen it in the wild per se but sure there are some that do. Hope you get back out again...

Wow a great intro. Congrats and welcome to the upland world. It is addicting. Hope you have a great trip. Do some reading from the last few years posts and you will find lots of good advice that can be used to learn for sure. Hope someone take a you up on your offer to maybe join you in Kansas.

Welcome from Ohio.

Should be done by now. LOL

Welcome. I am a flusher guy so not a lot of help but welcome to the forum. I will say there are a lot of good options so continue to research and get around as many different breeds as you can while trying to make your decision.

Got a pic this morning of heavy frost so for anything not turning yet it will here soon. Talked to a farmer 2 days ago. 3-4 more days of beans and then will roll in to corn he figured. Agree that the next 2 weeks will see more corn shelled across a larger swath of the state. Can’t wait to get there.

Never used Sport Dog but have been very happy with my Garmin Pro 550. Run flushers so the GPS is mostly just ncase somehow we get separated and needed to locate them. Adds a lot of peace of mind.

Welcome to the site. Great to see a younger new hunter wanting to learn about something we all love. Take these guys up on any offer you can make work to help speed up the learning curve. Keep us posted on how it goes. I remember my first bird shot behind beagles while rabbit hunting.

Lots of good shooting glasses out there and can spend a ton Of money. I went with X Sight a few years ago and for the cost I am happy. The RX can be switched to various colors. I find on sunny days the brown works well. All other days yellow works fine. Don’t recommend the purple. Tried them and...

Love my Rizzini Aurum.

We chopped silage this past week but a neighbor is combining corn. He plants short date corn early so he can say he was first to harvest every year. The rest of the are is 7-10 days from beans being ready and 3 weeks or so from corn. This is in Ohio.
