I hunted with a Nova since I was 16 up until I nabbed a Wingmaster Magnum and 1100 in a trade. After nailing a double in my first outing with the 1100, I couldn't go back to the pump. I use the Wingmaster when I'm out with my dad since that's what he hunts with and we can see who's the better...

Yeah, last weekend was pretty rough. I didn't bother going out Saturday because of the temps, but I did Sunday morning for a couple of hours. I took my Wingmaster and no problems with hitting birds then! They were in pretty light cover all morning. I missed my opportunity to bag my first prairie...

I get a lot of hunting in during season, and 9 times out of 10 if the bird flushes I down it. I bought my first over-under this year, a Franchi Instinct SL, and I love how the gun feels and mounts on my shoulder, but as far as accuracy is concerned I'm struggling with getting on the birds with...

The ground huggers are always a tough shot, they don't seem to get more than 10 feet off the ground. Otherwise flushes away from my 4:00 are tough because of the quick adjustment needed to get on it in time. Straight at me is usually at least two shots guaranteed and lucky if I hit with the...

On a late December hunt with my dad and some family friends, we kicked up a hawk that had landed ahead of us. When my buddy walked over the spot where it was he found a freshly killed rooster there. The bird was still warm when he picked it up. With the same aforementioned group of hunters, we...

This year and last year have been odd to say the least. We've had really warm temps through November and December, which I thinks leads to more spotty grouping until after the first snow and drop in temps. I think the warmer temps has allowed them to be more mobile moving from spot to spot. I've...

Yeah, I definitely like snow hunts. Took my wife out once and it turned in to a blizzard hunt, but at least we didn't have to worry about the birds running on us. Mid December is usually when I have my best luck. It isn't as hard on the dogs and the birds sit tighter for us longer in the cover...

I still think it's too early to tell. Talking with farmers there were a decent amount of birds in every field they picked. The temps have been up for most of the early season, so they're spread out and running. Last week me and my dog walked a big area and didn't see much in shooting range. Then...

Unfortunately, I spoke with my contacts and most have said they've given out as much permission as they would like to. The other is having health related issues so I figured he could use time to recover. I'm kinda surprised by the response of some as they usually are welcoming enough to those...

Sounds like some of you are in my area. Can't say I've seen much for other people out. Last two weeks have been pretty warm and dry. Birds are wiley and they're scattered. Hunted yesterday morning and had no shots until the end of my last walk. This week we're supposed to see lower temps and...

I gotta admit, I'm a fan of the late season. Tough hunting, but makes getting birds that much more rewarding. Makintrax was pretty spot on about the area. I've hunted the NW corner of Harlan County (just southwest of Holdrege) and the bird numbers aren't' as good as they are closer to the...

I've been a life-long bird hunter and my addiction has only gotten worse with age. My wife and I hunt the public and private ground around our hometown, but most of the folks I know around here are busy farming or deer hunting so I do a lot of solo hunting. I have a 3 year old Lab who has proven...

What county are you hunting in NE?
