They're banding waterfowl in Louisiana every weekend have been for the last 2 months, and are testing them for bird flu. I think the people in the know have a pretty good idea of how it is spread... The group that was testing was from Georgia they swab the birds to check for avian flu, then took...

Original poster asked about IC in 20 gauge... To the original poster yes you can make an IC work but as always the devil is in the details...

I had forgot about taking this photo.... I'm already looking forward to fall....

Yes, it sounds correct.

I agree Zeb, good post. Your numbers match up almost exactly to mine.

I shoot every Wednesday (late afternoon) with a retired group of guys at our gun club. I think trap is the best practice for pheasant hunting.You can be creative on a trap field. If it's a pat trap and has the wobble option make use of that... When I first started shooting we only had trap and...

If you use A5's facts it will help you weed out the marketing hype and you will find that perfect load for your shotgun, with less effort and money. Ok... now how long do we have before we can shoot birds again?:ROFLMAO:

As I've mentioned, I have shoulder pain... Moe and I killed three roosters at the back side of a piece of property this year... By the time I carried them back to the truck, I would have swore up and down they weighed 10 lb of peace...:ROFLMAO:

I agree, I do go in phases... I seem to hunt with a little different mindset.... If one of them wily rooster slip by me or outsmarts me and the dog, it's on me... I don't get mad at him I get mad at myself... I always go down the road of, I should have handled that situation different...

My thoughts when I tried bismuth, was to make my 20 gauge perform like my 12 gauge does with an 1 1/4 oz of #2 steel. 155 pellets with 1.5 inch gel penetration around 40 yd.. I had this great idea bismuth and never could make it work out, could be argued that I didn't give it enough effort? I'm...

LOL... I just don't seem to be that mad at them anymore... Don't get me wrong, I do love the game that me and Mr Rooster play.

I have a pet peeve like that... The name of a female dog...

Yep I agree... And when I hit all those bones that you described above... I say dang it I shot the shit out of him....

What do you call a male bobwhite...

Reread my sentence. I meant penetration. I had to use extremely tight chokes to get pattern density at 40. Like I said before Bob you kill them with shock... I'll shoot them in the vitals... Dead is dead...

It does have the potential to be freaky stuff... 362 pellets in 1 oz of #9's... I duplexed 1/2 of h w 15 # 7 with 1/2 of the TSS#9 which gave me 291 pellets, and it performed really well at distance this year... Up close it was ugly... As I have said it's still a work in progress... I killed two...

No I haven't had a conversation with anyone about it, it's still very much a work in progress... I started out with HW15 #7's that I bought on clotheout from Rogers sporting goods... 10 gauge shells with 2 oz of shot in them... Then I bought some #8 1/2 TSS... Have since purchased another 5 lb...

South Dakota is 700 miles from my house... So the checkbook goes out the window on pheasant shells... My shoulders don't like carrying the 12 gauge anymore... I'm getting a little long in the tooth for that... So I moved to the 20-gauge few years ago and it doesn't have enough payload in...

It's the internet, we nitpick everything.... You kill them with shock, I'll kill them in the vitals... No big deal, dead is dead.. I have averaged about 122 ducks a year since 2010. I don't know if that's many many birds. Most all with steel, it performs pretty well in my gun.

I tried bismuth to get the added penetration beyond 40 yd and had to use extremely tight chokes. Which hindered me at close range. 150 pellets is on the low end for me. Hope you can make them work. I think a rifle has shock energy and kills things with shock. A pellet with five or six pounds of...
