    How was opening day?

    I’m living vicariously through those lucky enough to hunt the opener. How was it? Crowds? Still wet from last weeks storm?

    Non hunter in blind - can they call?

    After 33 years of marriage, my wife has started going hunting with me. She has been to Wister and SJ. She had the time of her life both times. She doesn't shoot. She just goes as an observer. I don't see that changing in the near future. She just likes being out there. If I gave her a...

    Kern Opener Delayed Again

    It’s so much bigger than that. Through geoengineering, they are manipulating the weather worldwide to destroy the major food sources. Watch the Diming video. It is proof. They want 90% of us dead. The vaccine was part of this plan. By Christmas, food prices will easily triple. A...

    If you want to know why we don't have water, the above link explains it all. It is being done on purpose.

    What distance to pattern upland gun?

    I patterned at 40 yards yesterday. The modified choke shows a much better pattern. I will be using that from now on.

    What distance to pattern upland gun?

    I shoot a 20g 28” Montefeltro with 7 shot steel shells at 1325fps. I want to compare my IC and M chokes. The gun will only be used for dove and quail. What distance would you do this at?

    Wister - a question about the sweatline?

    I have sweatline Wister dozens of times on a Wednesday. I have always got on and had so many great hunts. I have never sweatlined on a Saturday. Do most people get on who sweatline on Saturdays? -Dave

    San Jacinto - best blind to take non hunting female for first time hunt?

    During my hunt, I was explaining to my wife what getting ducks to "work" was. Calling wing tips and tail feathers. I would see a duck in the distance, and call. Several times, I got the duck to turn. It would fly over us still too high. So, I would call again, and it would turn coming a...

    It says steel lead. I shoot a Benelli M2. I’m curious. Do many of you guys shoot 3.5” loads for ducks?

    I used a Carlson modified choke. It’s the same choke I’ve been using for a decade.

    The action was great. But, I really felt bad about losing the ducks I shot. I wasn't taking long shots and I was trying as hard as I could to recover them.

    San Jacinto - best blind to take non hunting female for first time hunt?

    Thanks. Married 32 years. She did not like my guns when we first got married. Now, she loves to goe to the range with me. Shoots handguns and rifles. And, this year has started going on multiple hunts. So, there is hope if anyone has a spouse less than enthusiastic about firearms and...

    San Jacinto - best blind to take non hunting female for first time hunt?

    My wife had the time of her life. She completely understands why we love this so much now. With the help of ilovesprig, we picked a great spot. She was most surprised about how much action happens in the first 30 minutes. She has gone with me on a few quail hunts in the MNP. Duck hunting is...

    Aeon, good idea. But, after 32 years of marriage, she knows when I'm lying.

    San Jacinto - best blind to take non hunting female for first time hunt?

    Hello. I have a great draw (mid teens) for this Saturday at San Jacinto. For the first time in my 15 years of duck hunting, I am taking my wife along as an observer. I got her a pair of waders so she is comfortable and dry. I know Tom is amazing and will steer us to a good spot. Saturday...

    First Time San Jacinto

    Here is another tip that works for me… The shoulder muscles you use to raise and hold a shotgun steady are very small and weak. So… 7 days before every duck hunt, I go into the garage and practice mounting my gun for at least 5 minutes a day. I grab my AirPods, put on a song, and do it until...
