Jonesing bad today, whistlers have decided to take up residents in the pond across from my house and saw 4 packs of teal making the journey back north this morning. Early teal can’t come soon enough!
When I walk in hunt i usually wear a t shirt on the way to the hole and after I’m done setting up I end up having to change because of sweat… I’m tired of hauling extra clothes, does anyone have any ideas for clothes that dry really fast or breathe really well when active but can keep you warm sitting in medium temperatures?
What shot size do yall use for ducks? I’ve been using IC choke with 6’s for early season then 4’s for late season.
After shooting an over/under field gun last season (my first year hunting for ducks) and getting my first limit on my last hunting day, I (and my wife) have duck fever. I bit the bullet after weeks of research and Müller came up. A lot. So did Boss. I watched some independent reviewers and was really impressed. So I bought a Stoeger M3500 (my wife got a Franchi Affinity 3), 200 rounds of 3” 1-1/5oz Boss Warchief #3/5 stacked loads, and 1 Müller decoy/1 passing choke… and prayed. I am a scientist. Not a gun or physics doctor, but I’ve done a lot of statistics. I know the sample size Is small. But preliminary data seems fairly good. 55 yards with the passing is beyond what is recommended by Muller so it was just a test, but everything out to 40 was above the 100 pellets in a 30” circle threshold with no gaps bigger than my hand. Even outside the circle the pattern was good. And the Boss shells performed well too. The target stand was 1/2” pine boards and it went through even in places where the boards overlapped. I’m feeling good about the purchase.
Anyone tried to store decoys in a crawl space? I live in Alabama so I don’t think attic storage is viable. Don’t have a large house or shop.
Tossing around ideas of totes on a piece of plywood to keep off the ground and relatively shielded from pests/weather.
