    Kent ultimate ammo

    I have noticed that a lot of guys recommend using a more open choke like IC with the faster loads and just wondering why? Thanks for the advice on the Kent shells also, it sounds like they are a great pheasant getter.

    Kent ultimate ammo

    Anyone use this stuff? I'm thinking about ordering some 6 shot 2 3/4" but I have never used it before. I usually use prairie storm but its getting almost impossible to find.

    Quail in southern Iowa

    Southern Iowa and northern Missouri quail are decimated. I bet numbers are down 50-75% from just a couple years ago. What do you think is the reason? Weather or habitat or predators or a combo of all 3???

    When is the best time to hunt quail?

    We have hunted them from 9am clear thru 4pm but I learned from a biologist that it is not a good idea to break them up to late in the day as they need the covey to band together and stay warm so if you break them up to late in the day they may not get back together before nightfall. So to...
