Whoose planning on hunting opening day, it’s gonna be a warm one for sure. Has anyone been seeing a lot of geese we haven’t found very many at all yet?
Not fired up yet,in my area the molting is over for ducks and geese so birds are in the air every evening,the youngens are testing they're flight feathers as well,12ga non toxic game loads are still in short supply for those slackers that didn't plan ahead and iffin ya find some ammo,best have deep pockets.

MM,I agree on prices iffin ya find some,no hevi 12 or tss for early birds here,blue box or expert steel for early young and dumb and small shell family groups for dekes for a few weeks.local ball fields and golf courses are loaded with these shitting machines,few years back we opened the season on a local golf course,I was amazed at the damage those goose turds do to kentucy blue grass greens,down side to golf course geese,consumption advisory...full of chemicals.
How did everyone do this morning? We couldn’t hunt as we weren’t able to get permission on the feeds we did find but didn’t really find that many birds and scouted from long lake to Nelson and from Nelson all the way to Douglas and really just not that many birds
We actually just never heard back on are main feed we wanted to huntCurious if you were told no on the fields or just couldn't find the right person to ask?
I’m stuck shooting Beretta but no complaints really with my a300. I actually have the opposite problem with safeties behind the trigger. I can’t get used to that safety position especially upland bird hunting so no Benelli’s for me. Looking back all of the shotguns I have ever used all have the safety in front of the trigger so I guess I’m stuck with that instinct forever.Agreed MM,been years since shooting 12ga 3.5 ammo here as well,infact rarely use steel loads except early season,1's and duces,4's for early ducks...
odered some hevi bismuth to try out this season,pattens well outof my A400 with a briley extended ported choke (IM contriction)after 15 years shooting benelli not liking this beretta A400,might switch back to benelli?Nothing wrong with beretta just a flat shooting shotgun and the dang safety in front of the trigger guard is annoying,but really a soft low felt recoil shotgun.
Douglas is a tough place to get permissionHow did everyone do this morning?

Tungsten Super Shot is the densest shot material on the market at 18g/cc. What makes it so much heavier is it’s makeup is primarily tungsten. Tungsten is very expensive to mine so that’s why the shot is so much more expensive. Blended shot loads of tss and steel are the best for large bore shotguns such as 12 gauge as a full payload of tss would be very expensive. TSS is ideal for .410 shotguns because it elevates the performance of that gauge with such a small payload. The cost is $2.69 per ounce for tss. My buddy gets his supplies from Prairiewind:Hey MM,curious if you dug in to the make up of "tss" material? I sniffed around,nothing,curious what they use for density and weight.As spendy as tss shotshells are,maybe "gold" j/k...Hevi 12 and 13 is tungsen,nickle and tin but tss 18 g/cc?
I broke my teeth shooting a rem 1100 once my dad shit canned my 20 ga H&R single shot as a youngster,then later in life belgium browning's as the remington's always had cycling issues in the cold,both shotguns have rear safety,one gets use to pheasant hunting with his finger on the rear trigger guard safety,benelli the same,for waterfowl either way is fine,plenty of time to hit the safety in either position.
Might as well before honkers join the list of shortages after shells and beer;:;boozerI saw a field full of honkers right after the combines left. Instead of hunting them I’m gonna drink heavily instead.
Weren’t too badThumbs Up made your effort worth while,how were the bugs?
