Re: 410 vs 20ga youth starter gun

After my pattern session yesterday I wouldn't want a kid or timid shooter shooting that light weight 20ga with 1 5/8th oz loads that's for sure!

Those guys pushing those 2oz 20ga loads, no thanks!

I have a 1 1/4 oz recipe I may try next time I load.

Re: Spring food sources

In the Midwest it is hard to beat dirt, killed way more in the dirt than nice green alfalfa or clover, out west here in the mountains it's all about fresh green, follow the snow melt and or the elk herds.

Re: Range Estimation

I have never carried a range finder, misjudged my first miss pathetically across a ravine, was way off. I shot and still shoot a lot of 3d and can judge quite well, I have been hunting birds in the mountains a lot and have been considering carrying a range finder, but I try and keep stuff to a minim...

Re: Number 1 hunting tip

Particularly in steep or thick terrain I shoot a lot of birds standing up, mush easer to see them coming and in the steep stuff those peak a boo birds get it before they are peaking!

Also learn to shoot off handed, killed many lefty also.

Find fresh sign and a good hide.

I hate quiet turkeys! However there is a special satisfaction calling one in silent, they are tough to kill.

Re: Most productive box call

I have a Rohm Brothers purr-fect box call a client gave me. It was pure poison on birds for a while, it seemed to lose it's luster and now it has a small crack on the edge of the lid, still sounds good but it does not seem to get the response it once did.

I rarely carry a box anymore.

What hunting that is allowed is listed by property, Their game department has that info and I believe it is listed on ONX as well.
