Good to know. Hopefully it becomes a good problem to have. I’m excited. I’m actually on the plane headed to Nebraska now.

All research suggests that Kenetreks and Crispis are great boots but that’s a steep investment for a couple of days a year. I have a pair of Irish Setter Vapr Trek but I’m wondering if I need a second pair. I’m flying from VA for 2 days the first week of November.

So glad you guys said that

If anyone here has ever hunted NW/S-W Nebraska, do you think 16” muck boots are necessary to hunt grouse and pheasant?

So here is the plan. Large duffle bag. Pack as light as I can for the hunt. Birds will be frozen for 12 hours before I drive 3 hours to board the plane. The birds will be packed in a dry bag, inside the duffel bag. If I can find dry ice before boarding the flight, I will drop dry ice in the dry...

That sounds like the best plan. It’s the way o flew fish back from Florida

Nebraska to Denver to VA

Hopefully…hopefully a few grouse and a few pheasants.

Ok. I think I can make that happen. I’ve bought fish back from Tampa. Fillets lay flat but it sounds like the same process. Thanks for the info everybody. Happy hunting.

I’ll have to do the research. All sounds good. I’m using a rental and have a flight to catch as well.

I’m not sure where the local post office or fed ex store is. That’s a great idea if reasonable considering location of lodge and time for flight back to VA.

Packed with dry ice?

What’s the best way to fly your game back to your home state without accumulating a ton of fees?

I know the name implies less hardy game but, I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with these chokes? I couldn’t find any info in here about them. I have a pair for my 20g TriStar Setter O/U. Just wondering if anyone has actually used them on any pheasant, grouse, etc.

I shoot the 7.5’s for dove hunting (lead). Makes you wonder sometimes if you slipped the wrong load in somehow

F glf you mentioned the 16ga. I’m torn between using my TriStar O/U 20g, 26” barrels or my Franchi Affinity 3 in 12g. All my Boss is in 12ga. If I hunt with the 20ga what shot do you all recommend and should I go lead or bismuth?

Did anyone here use the Boss ammo for pheasant hunting after the thread was created? If so, what do you think? I have a mixed case I bought for waterfowl but would like to try them on pheasants this fall. Any suggestions?

That was a Rem 11-87 20g. Now I shoot them through a Franchi Affinity 3. Same results. I do believe some ammo is of better quality. Before I started idiom Rio it was the Wally World 100pk. Still think it was more to do with poor technique but I won’t buy that 100pk again.

I know that it has more to do with my follow through, lead, etc. but, I couldn’t hit a dove to save my life. Until I put Rio ammo in my gun. Now I swear by it for dove hunting.
