I won't dip into the which gun discussion just to say there are a bunch that are suitable for the task, provided the task is decoying ducks and geese. You get into pass shooting then you are (imo) be ...

There were four bags of shot in Bass Pro in Nashville on Saturday. I didn't see a price and couldn't bring myself to move the bag that may have been covering the price tag on the shelf. Think it was ...

Dad wouldn't let me hunt them with a shotgun. Only two times I have killed squirrels with a shotgun, both times when I was on a rabbit/quail/squirrel combo hunt. After cleaning the ones shot with a ...

Not a 16 but I handled my buddies new A5 the other day in the blind. I did not care for the pistol grip one bit on it. It seemed "too perpendicular" to the barrel if that makes sense. It ...

I have shot some of the Blue Steel 12ga shells.

Vibe Coolers are built the same as the others with the added feature of a pressure release button. We bought some of those for our DU banquet and they are really nice. Plus you can get a green " ...

1 oz of #5 moving at 1200 seems a paltry load for geese.

I would love to think I am good enough to hit all that I aim for in the head and neck and my calling and decoy setting skills of such polish ...

If they can fit 1 oz in a 2 3/4 20ga why can't we get 1 1/16 oz or at least a little peppier load in 16?

Would like to see #4 and #2's as well. #2 should be a decent decoying goose load.

If so please pm. I don't visit often so if I don't respond in a timely manner that is why.
