Thanks to everyone. I will make the switch to dry lube and test it at my range (WEGC). I have some Federal 3" shells that don't pattern well in my gun. I just found a purpose for them.

Wow!!! Ilovesprig and the rest may have nailed the problem! I treat my M2 like my AR15 and run it pretty wet. I assumed it was to be lubed. They give you lube with the gun and the Benelli factory video shows them lubing it. Sounds like that was wrong. That would be awesome if it were user...

I have shot the Benelli M2 for 15 years. Trap, skeet, upland, and duck hunting. I have 3 of them they all function near perfectly. EXCEPT, when I am shooting directly overhead straight up duck hunting. I get malfunctions about half the time. Anyone else experience this? 1. I clean and...

Thanks. I will go with the faster load and a modified choke.

Thanks. I’ll look at #3s instead. What is your preference on speed? Do the real fast loads mess up your leads?

I have typically shot Kent Fasteel 3", #2, 1 1/4 ounce out of my Benelli M2 with an extended modified choke. I only hunt ducks. No geese. I am having a hard time finding Kent available. Macks Prairie Wings used to have good deals on cases of these shells. But, they are not stocking them...

Saturday is the 24th.

Due to some odd circumstances, I will be a bachelor on Christmas Eve. and Christmas Day. I won't be able to travel to with my wife to see the kids. So that means DUCK HUNTING!!!!! Do you guys think the Saturday the 24th will be a busy day at Wister? I plan to sweatline. I would think most...

Sometimes, I feel like I need that type of assistance just retrieving birds in the Wister ponds. The mud is like quicksand.

A #10 for SJ doesn't come very often. I would try to pick a spot away from the crowd with that number. Tom (the nicest guy on the planet) will tell you exactly where to go. SJ is the Nordstroms experience of duck hunting.

You will be shocked to find out how much crime is in your neighborhood. Here is a website that will send you an update for your location every day. It is better updated in Orange and LA counties than Niland. https://spotcrime.com/ The police are understaffed, our society is more and more...

Years ago, I took my "normie" brother in law dove hunting second season. He has always thought I was extreme being an avid hunter, shooter, and CCW holder. When we rolled up to Niland market and got out of the car, he turns to me somewhat timidly and says in a low voice, "You have your gun on...

Here’s an idea, bring the wife to SJ. Tell her you spent years trying to get a #1 reservation for her. My wife went after 33 years of marriage. She is addicted now! It will be her most unique birthday ever. Screw the job. Corporations don’t care about you. They will take everything you...

I come in from the North.

Thanks. Do you guys usually get it the night before? Or, do you do it the morning of your hunt?

The funny part about this story, is that I brought my wife of 33 years with me. It was her 3rd duck hunt. She didn't complain. But, I felt like a bad husband for bringing her to the Calipatria Inn. I really felt bad. She didn't complain. We made up for it the next day. We limited before...

I have stayed there for years. I have always set my expectations extremely low. But, man. It seems WAY WAY worse than it used to be. I just stayed there last night, and it was clearly the grossest most filthy hotel I have ever stayed in. I fully expect to have some new STD and ebola as a...

When you are hunting Wister, you used to be able to buy arrow weed at the trailer. The trailer is gone now. Where do you guys get your blind material? Thanks. P.S. I know this is a dumb question. But, ...

Congrats Parkerman. That is awesome!!!

That’s a safe bet. He has forgot more about ducks than I’ll ever know.
