Lefty - you can ask them to send a pic from the back of the gun - cast is easy to see when held at the proper angle

Sharp looking scattergun! Hope it serves you well

Prices are slowly drifting down - before the pandemic you could buy Herters brand at Cabelas sale prices - 2 3/4” pheasant loads - 12&20 gauge - for around $6 - Recently scored on a couple really good deals on pheasant loads and TSS turkey loads - so as supply continues to improve - we should...

Agree with John - you may actually be able to purchase a replacement pad that fits your Citori The other option is grind to fit - I do these and it requires the proper tool (Miles Gilbert recoil pad fixture - or the like) & some practice Pads come in various thicknesses so you can order a pad...

There's a new 12 ga Legacy Sport stock on Ebay for $225 with the recoil pad & $15.50 shipping - seems like a heck of a deal if it fits your gun/at least worth checking in to............

Was wondering if that incident was at dusk or dawn - what an experience! Incomprehensible

I hope you can ressurect your waterfowling passion Westksbowhunter - field hunting is not nearly as demanding (typically) as hunting over water can be - now I’m careful to select hunts over water we can physically handle The beauty of field hunts is you don’t disturb the roost or loafing water...

Thanks for sharing s.Davis…good read

At the very least, removing hens from the fall hunt is a great move & a no brainer. Hopefully all states with declining populations follow suit The Nebraska restricted non res 10k permits sold out before shotgun season opened.

Good article westksbowhunter. Thanks for sharing!

Turkey numbers have been trending down for a number of years now. A number of states are reducing available tags and season days. There is a lot of research currently being conducted, to help determine root causes. Egg & poult predation, along with suitable nesting and brood rearing habitat...

A good buddy turned us on to this recipe; Marinade 1 breast, then cut into thin strips; longer strips cut in half. Cut bacon strips into thirds; roll the turkey strip inside the 1/3 bacon strip and push a toothpick through it. when finished, season with Montreal Steak seasoning. Get a hot grill...

That's one awesome lab AK! Enjoy every moment with him!! "analyze why the miss occurred". Another great point! Missing happens, so I've learned not to dwell on it. I immediately reflect on what I feel caused the miss, & visualize the successful shot - ready for the next opportunity... PS - that...

" I now realize that when I was on top of my game, I used different methods for different shots without even realizing it." So true BD! Hunting different species, along with lots of experience (and failures) also aids in the ability to acquire one target on a multiple bird flush, before moving...

"Where is it legal to get 5-6 birds a day?" South Dakota - Party Hunting under the General Laws section - I'm guessing this started years ago with the big group drives - some of the SD residents might have better insight on this. Whether it's two hunters or twenty, it's legal as long as you...

Well done Drew! You obviously did a great job “coaching” your new hunters!! Very rewarding!!

Completely agree A5 …no comparison - fortunately we have some better options today - unfortunately $$$. I’m ok with the more expensive option - as others have said - look at total trip costs and spending +$35 is not that big a deal

Have enjoyed this thread; If you take the time to scour through a few hundred Randy Wakeman articles under his wing shooting tab, there are articles that cover everything brought up here; spherical vs non spherical pellets; penetration and strikes required on game birds; the energy/penetration...
