    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…

    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.

    28 gauge

    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…

    Welfare check on Goose?

    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...

    New upland vest

    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...

    28 gauge

    Maybe it’s like having the vehicle from “make a wish foundation”? With a youth in the front seat, but not with you at the door? Tugs at their heartstrings!

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

    The farmer buddy of mine who owns the farmhouse where we stay, and now, the mini-lodge that sleeps 4, a mile away (if the house is occupied, back-up option), has been enrolling chunks of ground into CRP here and there over the past several years…he always calls to chat about different scenarios...
