    hunting ethics

    I kinda got a feeling there is a lot of self righteousness by readers of this post. . Have to believe we've all havent been in similar situations. Am i the only one that knew that bull was dead even thought it lay there with a couple last breaths and moved a bit. It is dead! It nerves etc are...

    Waterfowl choke tubes

    Most of the sales guys Ive talked to over the years say choke tubes aren't needed. Shells are so good now days and stock chokes are fine. If doing pass shooting at higher birds etc then they may be the right ticket. I've never had problems killing geese at 50 yds with improved cylinder in my...

    Homicide ? Alec Baldwin

    Most of those dinks in hollyweird don't know jack about guns. I suspect the prop manager may be under investigation. It is their responsibility to organize these things. Baldwin just took gun, make go bang, cry, no understand. At least that is my guess.

    New waterfowl ammo~

    snow...try this. I buy a case or two each year. I use 3in BB, 1 1/4 oz 1550 ft per for everything. Even pheasants. Is fast and hits hard. Usually kill 100+honkers, snows and tons of ducks with this. Pounds pheasants as well. Got tired of the different loads for different birds. Found...

    waterfowl blind....NOT layout

    I hunt same as you. Go as far as Aberdeen from Webster. I grew up in Abdn so still have some pals that I hunt with. Haven't hunted river bluffs for years. Dad used to hunt the bluffs on/near Shadehill when I was a kid. Those were some of the original giants. Man, some of those geese were...

    waterfowl blind....NOT layout

    I talked to a state trapper several years back. He is up in air a lot for yotes or whatever. He said he can pick out a layout blind really easy when up in the air. Said it's because of their profile. They stand up. However, he said if guys are good they use lower profile blinds, brush them...

    waterfowl blind....NOT layout

    Have you tried that in an open field such as a stubble field or bean? - - - Updated - - - You think so? I haven't seen a single hunter in my area using an Aframe. My son and I kill a ton of honkers a year out of the old layouts. Well I will sit in slough edges etc too later. It's getting...

    waterfowl blind....NOT layout

    Have been seeing some waterfowl shows where guys use some type of box or wall blind (not bale) in fields instead of layouts. Thinking these would be good for bean fields as often there is no where to hide and layouts stand out too much. Anyone use these, know a brand or kind etc?

    Winchester SX4 vs Franchi

    slip on butt pad? Come to think of it...I have a benelli nova I shot years ago. Was too short so slid on butt pad. Lights out for years. Hmm...maybe on to something?

    Winchester SX4 vs Franchi

    Thanks snow. That is good advice. Maybe I should try that first as it does seem a little short for me. My brother who was a shooter in the military said to take gun and grip it like you are shooting it. Hand around grip, finger on trigger etc but point it up with just that one hand. The...

    Winchester SX4 vs Franchi

    Im not cross eyed dominant. All three of these chokes shot very well and dead center of target at 25. I bought the franchi affinity 3 EL which I think stands for Elite. These chokes came with which are suppose to be designed for waterfowl hunters in mind I guess. I'm quite sure it is the...

    Winchester SX4 vs Franchi

    Snow...this gun came with 3 after market chokes from Trulock I think? All they say is close, mid, and long. They are extended tubes. I assume similar to imp, mod and full? And actually yes, I was worried about the chokes after shooting so poorly so I patterned them yesterday at about 25 yds...
