We like to debone the thighs, pound them out and make schnitzel. It is delicious.

That's is your problem right there goose. When you have less volume you need to increase the number of pellets for better pattern density. If you are keeping shots under 40 yards just run 7s or 7.5 shot.

Grew up close, you cannot camp on the refuge but just down the road at crescent lake. From what I remember there is a gravel lot and a pit toilet. No trees, showers, or water available. The fishing is great and hunting can be a blast. It is a huge place that is remote. Be ready to walk and...

People that call GWPs Drahts really get my goat. Finding breasted out birds in parking areas. Upland “hunters” That pay to play/ shoot pen birds. Guys that don’t count lost bird towards their limit. Utards.

I had no idea the gizzard was between the ribs and lungs.... ;) I guess the spine and head aren't kill zones either. With most going away shots the central nervous system, lungs, heart, wings, and legs are all more exposed and provide a larger target area than in any other shot one could...

Never understood the issue with going away shots, they present the largest target area for vital hits. Only a problem if you are shooting behind.

You shouldn't be losing many birds without a dog and with a dog that number ideally should be around 0. It does inevitably happen to even the best shooters and dog combos.

Ic or mod. If you really feel the need for pellets larger than 5s. Maybe a full. Pellet density is the #1 killer. Just shoot what you have and what you like. Choke, shot size, and gauge selection are very nuanced and particular to individual styles and abilities. What works for some doesn't...

I vote barley!

When they recommend nixwax you know they are trash. I have had similar issues

I have not had a chance yet, I plan to contact them shortly and report bach. Can't imagine they wouldn't be helpful. really hope I got a lemon.

Got the girlfriend a BUL 12 gauge this November. It cycles like a dream and is quite nice to carry. However, it has its own issues. The weather tech coating on the stock started peeling in cold Temps. The poi is off as well. Shoots low. Reliably cycles everything we have fed thru it, I am...

20 gauge 2 3/4" 7.5 ic Early season. Late season modified choke with slow 5s. Shot string matters! all this patterning bs has me 😆. Static tests mean nothing. Shoot what you shoot best and don't think so much. Spend more time shooting. Practice more think less.

A really strong wind can hold them from my experience. Also really concentrates birds into specific area. Pheasants always fly with the wind if it is strong and just like goose said that can give you a major advantage. I only hunt chukar on windy days. They hold extra tight. If you are...

I have been coming across quite a few huns while chasing roosters... long story short I have prepared them in a soup and also plucked, brined, and roasted. Both culinary attempts resulted in meat only the cat would eat. They are beautiful birds, but I don't want to kill something I can't...

If the vast majority of birds do not see any hunting pressure throughout the year, why does the season length matter? Also, as goose stated there are no chukar so it really doesn't matter anyways 😉
