There was a time I probably thought that as well…regardless, stick with what you think works better, confidence is important in the field, IMO…my original point is that the same amount of shot, traveling at the same velocity, seems pretty similar…and my patterning has borne that out as well, as...

I’ll let u know…😬

If someone wants to disabuse my interest in the 28 gauge, 1200 fps load of #5 lead, because the 20 gauge load of an ounce of #5 lead at 1200 fps is superior, i’ll sure listen. I’ve shots lots with the 20 gauge version…works well. Pretty sure the 28 compares favorably…if my results suggest...

I’m only concerned with 100-120’, roughly…don’t care how far it could go much past that…

I’m not a huge fan of maximum velocity no matter what I’m shooting…I go the other direction..,1109-1200 fps is just fine…

I’m not surprised that MattD had great results with his 28…I’ve always been advised by shooters I respect to tighten up chokes with 28’s…

I shoot one of my 28’s 90% of the time for prairie grouse and Huns, and ruffs, too…have for a long time…I’ve only killed 5 roosters with my Parker Repro 28, that’s the # I’ve knocked down. I shoot my 28’s very well, certainly not my go-to pheasant gun….gonna use it on current trip…may let my...

I’m no expert, but my 20 and 28 gauge shells with equal Loads of 1oz have the same velocity, 1250 fps…

Thanks!!! Great recap!

Happens a lot. Farmers don’t want to commit so much land to habitat in order to grow their own. And, when they host their opening weekend group, many who have no dogs, they don’t want to be hunting all day, too much work.

I’m far from genius level, obviously, but isn’t an ounce of 5’s an ounce of 5’s? 28 or 20, those are the loads I use, with success. Heading to SD now, gonna use a 28 much of this hunt…I’ll report back…suspect MattD’s report and mine will be similar…

Where is he? He’s usually posting between 2 am and 6 am…did he pursue that lost bird from a few days ago after all? Brushy draw…griz country! As we age, and have no family or friends nearby, we can keep track of fellow members. We need a goose drone, just follow him around…that’ll be one of...

I’ve used Gamehide for many years…got a new model of theirs a few years ago that’s made for warm conditions, more mesh and a hole in the back the size of a small pancake. About $50, as are their other models I’ve used, I fill the game bag with bottled water, 4-7 16 oz bottles most days, and...

That’s a great trip! Thanks!!!

Damn!

No, opposite of that😬

No wonder things have gone fairly well for me!😋

Me too…I’m not worthy of the Goose…

We don’t want Montana, the Goose is the juice!!!! Include huckleberries, maybe a scone of some sort, and a grizzly chase!!!

That’s all we have to know!!!😁
