Temp falling, peaked around midnite…very windy last nite…cold day today! Wind had died down, still blowing…

I think the advantage 12’s, 16’s, and some 20’s have over the 28 is extra weight, which can result in better shooting…a super light gun can be whippy, and hard to shoot effectively…I also feel lighter guns have their merits after trudging around in heavy cover for miles and miles, and may allow...

That’s what you want to believe…perhaps?….I’m not a great shooter, especially on clays, but I’m pretty good on birds…I have spectacular misses, but I’ve been doing good, for me, this season…put 50+ in the vest, I’ve missed under 5 “lay ups”…I’ve missed many other more challenging shots…but...

I’m humored by the reaction by some of my buddies when hunting sharpies and Huns when I’m using a 28…they don’t understand that I’m throwing the same # of pellets at the same velocity as 20 gauges…and I pattern my 28’s and 20’s…I know what those look like with the ammo I’m shooting. I’m making...

Take it out for a stroll…as long as your chokes are M or tighter…IMO

You call bullshit on much that’s outside of your personal experience…shooting skill, bird recovery, gauges that you may not have much experience with, etc. I believe the vast majority of the anecdotes shared here…I could be foolish, but judging by the sources, it seems credible. Yes, hard to...

Arrived after dark, snow looks helpful but not problematic…maybe 3-4” fell most recently, not much drifting that I can tell…friend of mine was here hunting during the holiday, snow wasn’t an issue…a help he said…

Take care, chat again soon!

Keep in mind who you’re dealing with here…I’m the guy promoting mini-vans as the ultimate hunting rig…love my Sienna’s! Rip the 2nd and 3rd row seats out (or fold flat), throw down a 4’ x 8’ piece of plywood, and walla, room for 4 large crates and more room to spare that never gets used! I grew...

Congrats!!!

This is more typical from what I read and hear…qualifying distances out to 35 yards, for example…I’m probably guilty of selective hearing and/or reading…in most sports that involve a stick, a bat, a racquet, a club, etc, it seems that they’ve all evolved into lighter vs heavier…svelte vs...

That kind of thing is my worst nightmare, hope he continues to progress!✝️🙏

Seems to me most of the guys touting good experiences with the 28 tend to qualify their results with ranges within 30-35, maybe 40 yards, maybe there are some suggesting any distance…I don’t recall those…I have personally shot 6 now with the 28, and recovered them all, and like I’ve said, that...

I’m not the best shot, I admit, but I do shoot clays 5-6 times in August/September before I head out Sharptail/hun hunting, which is usually 13-15 hunting days in September…usually with a buddy at a time, sometimes 2 buddies. I start pheasant in SD the 3rd Saturday in October, some solo, some...

Not always the case, but it seems like high winds accompany the bad snow events, and I’m always surprised how exposed the picked cornfields are after a blizzard with 30-50 mph winds…and the birds are good at rooting around for food…hopefully there’s some good thermal cover nearby…cattails, cedar...

I looked it up…very cool! About $120…I’ve been using a large plastic tote, just throw everything in! May get smaller containers, like dopp kit for toiletries, and have things broken down that way. I just enrolled for ‘26 health insurance, I can’t afford anything but that and my hunting trips! 😬...

Many scary stories here involving water, ice, cattails, etc…note to self!

If they happen to have a used one…all mine I’ve bought are used, same with my AYA’s

Bass Pro should ship guns from other stores for $25…no obligation to buy…
