You will like the cleanliness of your gun after shooting the Boss. I was impressed. I just patterned my 12 Montefeltro with theBoss shorty 5s. I had and average of 84% at 30 yds with MOD and 57% at 40 yds. I don't have an IM for the Montefeltro for comparison but I don't shoot IC for wild...

Modified in a Benelli Montefeltro is a good pattern for the steel and bismuth I shoot. You can choke bismuth down but I get 67% average at 40 yards with mod. and 80+% at 30 yds so I'm sticking with it. I didn't like the full pattern with bismuth. I do shoot steel the first 10 days to 2 weeks...

Wondering if you got a crew cab? First time I don't have a topper. Went with a hard locking folding tonneau cover. The dog is in a kennel in the cab and one big plastic upland tote stays there all season. Guns in cab. Although mine is locked in back, I really only have a big water cooler and...

I like all natural on leather and not a chemical based. I use Obenaufs. The grease seems to have more substance than the oil. I like conditioning my boots so do keep them in good condition. I use a first coat with a hair dryer then another coat and put on the Peet boot dryer. I feel the...

I'm young to turkey hunting in WI at 66. I've done well on public lands so far however THIS IS MY STORY! I met a gentleman several years ago hunting pheasant in Iowa. We became friends. We shared the same motel for 10 - 12 years. He is now in his late 70's. I mentioned I was going to start...

I would think the wild birds are exposed to LESS than a pen raised bird when it comes to disease, etc. Interesting thought by Golden Hour about life style and disease. Exposure in my opinion does create immunity. My wife and I remember getting sick in our early years of teaching and after 35+...

I shoot Heavy-Metal for ducks and late season pheasant. It has knock down energy at long distance. I like the ammo a lot.

I shoot a Benelli Montefeltro that fits me. I had a little Fab Arm 12, that was super light and short barrel for grouse. I would stop my swing when shooting that gun. I've found for me, that I can have the benefits of a light weight gun and shoot with better form more naturally if I have the...

I also hunt both. Die hard pheasant so typically hunt grouse in September and then chase roosters. If you love the sweet smell of decaying leaves and seeing NO other hunters...enjoy grouse. If you prefer some action....go pheasant. I do look forward to hunting both. I'll throw in one more...

JMc, Thank you. I'm going to give that route a try.

Thanks Weimdogman. I didn't post my question very well. Should have been , "Who changes food in the off season to account for dog not feeling as full. Or something like that. I'm leaning your way. Will see what coat and eyes look like with a change. Quick question for you. I feed at night...

I apology for the length of what it will take me to put this question out. I feed a 30/20 899 Kcal/cup food all year long. I like the stool size and energy in the season. Where I'm questioning myself is cutting back in the off season. Off-season amount is a little over 2 cups per day/2...

I hope his best moments surround you for years to come and you're able to have flashes of him on future hunts. Mike

This is soooo interesting. I began to rack my 66 year old failing memory bank and I believe it to be true. Countless times a bird "somewhat downed" came back in my dogs mouth with no tail feathers. I would go out in search because I felt it was a nice tail. I would say 100% of the time (and...

I am enjoying watching self made videos on Youtube in the off season and was wondering if anyone had some that they follow and maybe describe a little about the content. I would recommend JCW Outdoors on Youtube. He is also a member on here. Golden Hour. He hunts with a lab. He has very...

Nice video A5 and thanks for posting. I enjoy watching what I will call home-made videos, for lack of a better word, of a guy and his dog. The ditch angle was great for the camera to pick up Ace. Good job. I still get amazed how much nerve a rooster has to hold that tight with danger a few...

I officially give everyone permission to laugh at me as you will anyway. I've found in extreme conditions I have trouble feeling my trigger finger as its been froze too many times. Several years ago, at the advice of an old timer I met in the cattails, I started using "wool" chopper mitten...

I also used Rogers with good success for several years. I have purchased from others because of finding deals. I wouldn't be afraid of shopping on line if that is your concern. I shoot Heavy Metal. I would suggest shop the net and hopefully find what you are looking for SOMEWHERE as supplies...

Nutri Source Performance. Buy from my breeder. Every ten bags I get one free so drives cost down considerably. I have been feeding it for four years to 3 dogs. I have a high energy dog that it has fueled well and kept weight on during hunting.
