Thats the bad part about an upland lab. You get 3 years of running for 10 miles, 2-3 years of getting tired after a couple miles, then for the rest of their life they turn and look at you like they want to go home after 200yds. They age and slow down way too quick. My new pup runs 8-10 miles in...

I know you have never patterned them just from that statement. BOSS has been the worst patterning shells we have EVER tested, across the board. It takes up to an XFull or Turkey choke to get an acceptably tight 40yd duck/pheasant pattern with some of them however all of them required at least an...

Vista outdoors purchased hevi-shot brand from Environmental 3-4 years ago. Now vista sold its shotshell brands to another owner, but federal and hevishot are still together. Obviously federal uses hevi-bismuth in their own shells now too. So if it says federal on the box its a federal shell...

Use a NEW silicone oil cloth to wipe down the stock after hunting, with danish oil the first couple times until it gets on the rag. yes avoid gun oil. Also avoid over oiling, you will not have to apply oil but once or twice a year if it starts to look dull or light in color. Grease the hinge...

Oh no how will the labrador breed survive without your buddy!

We go by whoever's shot it should have been and almost always the other shooter apologizes because its usually just excitement and not anyone trying to be a game hog. Usually it happens when a bird flushes between two of us, but by the time the triggers are pulled its more in front of one guy...

They are thinking, "shoot your own limit". One guy takes 2 buddies that only shoot once a year and got drunk the night before and he shoots all 9 birds. that's 6 more that probably would have been killed if the bozos had to shoot their own birds... 6 more birds for the rest of the state's...

Goose doesnt believe in dog training, he said it is for stupid dogs, i dont think he would want to use a bird live or dead.

You pushed him off the dock, which likely was a traumatic experience and now he doesn't trust the water. Good luck with that one

Yeah i honestly have no idea why they do it, i noticed it when a guy on Facebook was complaining because he bought dove loads and didnt notice they were 3" until they wouldn't cycle in his 2.75" gun. I reload the same payload in 2.75" at 125fps faster speed so it isnt a fitment issue.

Hevishot sells a 3" dove load. Its only 3/4oz of shot but in a 3" hull at 1300fps for some reason. Tell someone you are shooting 3" shells for dove and theyll tell you how overkill it is, while they shoot even more shot in their 2.75"

1 1/4 20ga 1300fps are unsafe, but 1 1/4 12ga 1330fps are great? This sounds like something our government came up with 😆

Shot string negative effects were debunked 50 years ago. Even a 15 foot shot string makes it through the bird in a fraction of a second. Its just math, but was debunked by using a Chevy van pulling a trailer with a pattern board on it back in the day 😉

Gucci means "good" things these days to anyone under 40

What gauge are you loading for? Another member and I are each going to work on 20ga this off season and keep in touch. I can keep you in the loop also regarding my data and pattern/penetration tests as well if you are doing 20.

I have always said there is no point in limiting yourself shooting subpar or budget ammo. Ive had honest talks with guys who say they WILL NOT pay more than $10/box for ammo (this was before covid). They also shoot a $2500 o/u, have professionally trained pointers that cost who knows how much...

I bet it works very well for those "medium" sized birds. Theres nothing wrong with hevi-shot ammo, its just their misleading marketing and outrageous prices that turn me off. For years i shot hevi-steel 12ga for 12.99/box for goose hunting and they were absolutely quality shells, now they are...

Those are really good shells. I shot some ducks with them and they worked well. I got a box cheap and liked them, but would not pay the asking price for them personally. Just have to count them as steel shot, theres only 20 bismuth pellets in the 1oz 3s.

They purchase the photos from photographers, there is a minimum quality requirement to be used in print and most hunters dont have that quality of equipment. The picture in question, i would say it was probably taken with say a 600m prime lens on a full frame mirrorless camera, they want at...

Im going to guess that is the extreme minority these days. All the kids ive been around recently want to kill a bunch of birds or start shooting corn cobs otherwise its no fun and they want to go home. They can just play video games where they get the instant success I was the same as you
