    Are you Break Open 2 barrel (O/U and SXS) or Autoloader guy

    Never been a BPS or model 12 guy but think the 37 may be the best pump gun of all time. I know to many that is blasphemy but I really think that. I have a 12 gauge that my step dad hunted hard with for 30 years before giving it to me and I did my best to wear it out but never could. I am in the...

    28 gauge

    I love coffee. First thing I do every day to start my day. On my second cup ight now as a matter of fact. I am proud to say I have never bought one at Starbucks or any other trendy, expensive place. I am a tight ass and refuse to pay those prices. Make my own or gas station 99 cents and that...

    28 gauge

    I don’t doubt if I had to go locally and find 28 gauge shells to hunt with $20 would be hard to find. I am pretty sure I have not paid more than $16 delivered to the house buying in cases. All summer I kept waiting for the usual good sales. I never saw them. Then about 4-5 weeks ago it seemed...

    28 gauge

    As BB mentioned I used 28 gauge a bunch on my most recent trip. Shot 7/8 and 15/16 oz #6’s in bottom barrel with a Mod choke and 1 oz of #5 in top barrel choked IM. Couldn’t be happier with the results. What I saw was either hard stone cold kills or clean misses. I would say if you are hitting...

    What’s farmland selling for in your area(s)?

    Seeing the family struggles play out in real time to a degree on a farm we hunt. Three brothers all farmed together after coming back from serving their country. Amassed a large land base and did well for themselves. Each had multiple kids. The last of the three brothers passed this summer. One...

    What’s farmland selling for in your area(s)?

    I will give experience from two different areas of the country. Here in north central Ohio where I live it has been running 15 to 17k depending on exact location, if it has been tiled and who was at the sale. The most recent private sale I know of was for 500 plus acres and was 20k an acre...

    How’s your shooting been?

    Failed to mention what guns I’ve been shooting. Three days with Rizzini 16 with 1 1/18 oz of number 6 in IC bottom and 1 1/8 oz of number 5 in a modified choke on top. The other 10 with beretta 28 gauge choked modified with 7/8 or 15/16 oz number 6 and top barrel choked IM with 1 oz of nunber...

    How’s your shooting been?

    Just got done with 13 days of hunting. Had one really bad day of shooting on day 10 but other than that it’s been pretty good as far as shooting. Lots more steps for us per day this year but as the corn has finally really started to come out that has been decreasing. Great trip. Head for home...

    Beretta 12ga silver pigeon field with 26 or 28" barrels

    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.

    Corn Progress 2025

    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!!
