Id take the dull finish.And have plenty left over for gas money.

Ive a set of them and really like them.less room like Del said and they have great detail.

Id go with 2 3/4 #6 shot.modified choke.Good luck and happy hunting.

Im thinkin buckhunter got that right.There was a movie with Graham Green as Ishi.And the guy that played Winchester on mash.It is good to see a famillar face across the cyber campfire ishawooa!!

EJP is right as rain.the soldier was poisoned with mushrooms of some sort.the movie was called the BEGUILED.

Hasnt this all been done before??

This may help you out.www.hunting fishing-gear.com They may have your vest.good luck.

Key on water holes.And a few sagebrush tied to a T post and a decoy should improve your odds.good hunting.You cant go wrong with Bowtech.

instaling a dozen or so on a lease.Thanks for the wire mesh tip!

Moishe's recipe works well.TRIED and TRUE.And use caution around the eyes.smell ya later.

One of my favorites,"your about handy as fur on a snake"

THERE A BIT PRICEY BUT THE WOODSMANSPAL.IS WORTH IT.

hengst is right on the mark + But I do like the old slick 30"on the old wingmaster.Good luck on your decision.

AMEN, I ENJOY HIS BOOKS.

They are getting scarce.Ive noticed more pancake breakfasts at firehouses for pheasant openers in our area.

Have a safe and fun trip.Sounds like a great time!!

Ive started useing deer antlers as a find and fetch game for my lab.He seems to enjoy the swith up from his regular bumper regiment.good luck.

Aside from all the hype an type.It brings to mind of a couple Ol'Bulls bumping heads.The dust will settle an itll all be good.Cant be happy all the time.Just an opinion.

Totaly agree with Cgull!it would be more appealing to me to watch a kid or a soldier or non celebrity get a crack at some deer.Instead of watching some rich wise ass glean all the deer then pat himself on the back after the commercial break.just my opinion.

traps on fresh holes work the best! But you can fill a plain water bottle with clorox an shove open end down a fresh hole an cover, they will move on.

From my experience it usally is the other way around.Ive a video of a man that actually uses a couple dogs to bring in coyotes in to shooting range.

Man that truly sucks!!its a rough damn deal to go through.Mr,Palumbo well put.Hengst sorry for your loss.

Each an Every One.past,present,future.

I think that would be awesome!the memorys would be priceless.Best of luck!!

Oh'I like that! Thanks tightliner09.

HAPPY HUNTING!Best of luck!!

Give it a good cleaning and replace all the rings.sometimes the cheaper low base shells wont eject.usally when the rings need replaced.good luck.

Radio dads not seeing the forest for the trees.

Things are slow here in IDAHO.But there is huntin\fishin aplenty.

green bird,we usally turn the fish upside down, fill fish with butter ,onions.season with a little,season salt,lemmon pepper.skewer the belly with a couple of wood k-bob sticks to keep the cavity open,so you can ladle melted butter back in.1+to you.

Idont recall the name,but i belive HE went the way of the donner party??

To add there is also a brush on antler paint available in a 4oz application 12.99 at WASCO taxidermy supply. WWW.TAXIDERMY.COM GOOD LUCK.

It would be on the banks of the Teton river with my uncle,whom passed last nov.

My,wing master is AMERICAN made.its goin on 30 yr no problems to speak of.Hold em up side by side get the feel of them.the 870 is more smooth in every aspect.just my opinion.

This gal should of gotten the part as CARRIES MOM!!!COO-COO-COO-COO.BEST REGARDS IDAHOOUTDOORS!!!!

Ive a Benelli nova noisiest gun I own.Thanks for the tape tip buckhunter.

24-7-365!Any time ,any place, any where.

MR,Cooper...LMAO!!!a trunks only so big,But i found out that i fit in the dog house nicely.Happy Valentines day.

an ounce of prevention,is worth a pound of cure.sad and tragic,And easily avoided.

THERES A LOT OF STREAM FISHING HEREABOUTS AND I FIND THAT SIZE 0 MEPPS,BLACKFURY,PANTHERMARTINS, IN THE GREEN&BLACK,BLACK&RED,BLACK&GOLD,AND THUNDERBUGS WORK WELL.SMALL WHITE&RED DAREDEVILS,AND THOMAS LURES PRODUCE WELL.OR A SMALL SPLITSHOT WITH A BIG JOESHOPPER FLY. GOOD LUCK.

CONGRATS!!DEL!!Many happy returns.Isurely enjoy your posts.

Well speakin just for me.Ive been fortunate to gather alot of knowledge on a lot of subjects here on this web site.From coast to coast.No amount of stars an free grear are worth that kind of free schoolin.I appreciate F\S and even more so the fellow outdoors folks that gather here."just my opinion"

OH ITS ALL GOOD!!!!INEVER BEEN ON A DUCK HUNT I DIDNT LIKE.BEST WISHES FOR THE UP COMING SEASON!

HOBOBs on the right track.If your lookin to let it go.A syringe full of acetone applied to the heart on the end of a long dowl works good also.no muss no fuss.just move slow an easy when you do it.

Theres some solid answers above.But if it were me,If I could afford a 130grand sheep tag.I certianly wouldnt put myself at a dinner party with people like this gal.

THAT IS THE QUESTION OF THE YEAR.EACH SEASON MY WIFE AN I PICK A DRAKE THAT WE'D LIKE TO GET MOUNTED AND LET THE HUNT BEGIN.WE HAVE A GREAT START. BUT MY TOP PICS WOULD BE.1OLDSSQUAW 2CANVASBACK 3CINNAMONTEAL ITS HARD TO CHOOSE JUST ONE.

HANK MY 3YR OLD CHOCOLATE LAB TRYS THIS ON HIS FIRSTCOUPLE RETRIEVES AFTER BEING COOPED UP IN HIS KENNEL.ITS LIKE HES GOTTA CHECK OUT THE SURROUNDINGS.BLACKWATER HAS REAL GOOD ADVICE!WHEN MY DOG SEES ME NEALDOWN HE KNOWS SCHOOLS ON.GOOD LUCK.

MY DOG IS HALF CHESSIE HALF CHOCOALATE LAB.Id STRONGLY URGE YOU TO LOOK AT THE PARENTS IF THEY HAVE THE DESIRE AND DRIVE AND LOVE THE HUNT YOU COULD WIND UP WITH A GOOD PUP.I REALLY LUCKED OUT HE WAS EASY TO TRAIN WITH A HEART OF GOLD AT 2yrs OLD HE STILL THINKS HES A PUP,ADUCKGETTINMACHINE. GOOD LUCK HAPPY HUNTING.

Lacross are a good boot.But my Mucks have a better feel.

So far so good.No complaints with my 1187.

870PUMP 12 IN A 3" MAG IS MY CHOICE.IF YOU CAN FIND ONE THE 1187 SUPER MAG IS SURE TO PLEASE.ALSO THE STOGERM2000 IS A NICE GUN FOR THE MONEY.

EXCELLENT ADVICE,BEEKEEPER!THE ONLY THING I'd ADD IS KEEP IT CLEAN,FROM SPENT HULLS TO NOCTIOUS WEEDS; IT SOUNDS LIKE A REAL SWEET SPOT

THE DR85 IS A EASY CALL TO USE.AND IT WONT COST YOU AN ARM AN A LEG.

I HAVE AN OLD ITHICA,SINGLE SHOT 20 ITS SERVED ME WELL.STILL BRING HER OUT.TO HUMBLE MYSELF AND TO SAVE SHELLS.THESE GUYS ARE CORRECT.TESTPATTERNS,AND PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. GOODLUCK.

MY MOM WAS THE SAME, SHE FINALY REALIZED MY PASSION FOR THE OUT DOORS WHEN SHE WENT FISHING WITH ME. I STRONGLY SUGGEST INVOLVING HER IN YOUR OUTINGS BECOME A TEAM.Id ALSO LEAVE SOME WILDGAME COOKBOOKSAROUND.ANIMALS ARE NOT HELPLESS.BUT THEY ARE EXCELLENT SOURCE OF PROTEIN

I've always hung my waterfowl.the colder the longer.as for doves,quail.Im used to putting them in the cooler quicker.and phesants wait till the end of the hunt day.happy hunting.

I've HAD BOTH AND I COULDNT ASK FOR ANY BETTER OF COMPANION AFIELD.BUT WHERE I HUNT THAT GOLDENS COAT HELD HIM BACK.I WANT TO HUNT NOT BECOME A HAIR DRESSER BETWEEN FLIGHTS!MATOUSE3 IS RIGHT AGIN.

I AGREE WITH MATOUSE3! DO YOUR HOMEWORK AND IT WILL PAY OFF.ITS ALL GOOD! I"VE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HUNT FLOODED TIMBER AS OF YET.

I"D START AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. YOU CAN GET A REAL SMALL BUMPER OR A COUPLE OLD SOCKS.WITH LITTLE FETCH SESSIONS.A BOTTLE OF DUCK SCENT,OR WING DOES WONDERS.I"D JUST GO EASY. BE FIRM.DONT EXPECT TO MUCH AT FIRST.KEEP IT BASIC AND FUN.THE MORE YOUR PUP SEES THAT WHEN HE BRINGS YOU WHAT YOUVE THROWN PRAISE HIM AND HIS EAGERNESS TO PLEASE YOU WILL GROW IN LEAPS AND BOUNDS.BEST OF LUCK! AND HAPPY HUNTING!!

THATS SOUND ADVICE MATOUSE3!! A LIGHT WIRE MESH AROUND A THROWING DUMMIE OR A DEAD DUCK ALWAYS PRODUCED POSITIVE RESULTS!

LISTEN TO REAL BIRDS AS MUCH AS POSSIBIE.IN THE OFF SEASON ANY WHERES THERES DUCKS LISTEN TO THEM.AND PRACTICE THERE SOUNDS.YOU MAY HAVE TO SWITCH UP YOUR CALLS.LOUDER,SOFTER,DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU USE.AND IT WILL COME TO YOU.PLUS YOU'll FIND NEW SPOTS TO HUNT AND FISH. HAPPY HUNTING.

I USE A MIX OF OLDER DEKES WITH NEWER ONES.AS THE SEASON GETS LATER I SCALE DOWN THE SPREAD.TODAYS DECOYS ARE PRETTY AWESOME.BUT WHEN I WAS A KID I USED PLASTIC SODA BOTTLES, PAINTED FLAT BROWN WITH A LITTLE DIRT INSIDE SO THEY FLOATED DIFFERNT.I GOT A FEW FUNNY LOOKS BUT A LIMIT IS A LIMIT.

IN MY OPINION -GHG- DECOYS HAVE PROVEN THEM SELVES.YOU CAN USALLY PICK UP DECOYS AT YARD SALES.FOR CHEAP.YOU COULD POST A WANTED AD AT YOUR LOCAL SPORTING GOODS STORE.BELIVE ME THERES ALOT OF GUYS UPGRADING.YOU SHOULDNT HAVE A PROBLEM FINDING SOME.GOOD LUCK.

THATS REAL GOOD ADVICE BLACKWATER! THERES A SPOT WE HUNT THAT HAS ALOT OF DEBRIS THAT CAN SNAG A VEST OR COLLAR.THERES BEEN A FEW DOGS DROWN THERE.+TO YOU.

I PLAN TO USE A REM11OO 20gaMAG FOR THIS YEARS DUCK OPENER.I WILL HAVE TO GIVE THE 6#BISMUTH A TRY.THANKS!IDDUCKHNTR.

Im quite pleased with my auto loader,the 1187super mag.THERE are some real nice goose getters on the market today but they be $$pricey$$ Ialso use an old ITHICA MAG 10.I wish they had a pattern master choke tube for it.GOOD LUCK with your choice an happy hunting.

Congrats!2 bands you lucky dawg!!Send that FOWL-weather this way.

Thats pretty hard to beat.

if you got the spot give it a try.its a rush!With the advice above you cant go wrong.good times and happy hunting.

Say you got your spot picked out.Depending on the weather,Id start with an extra change of clothes,for after the hunt.a good set of waders.If your dogless shoot em were youll be able to get em.Practice your calls at home not while hunting.Know your birds,keep in mind were other hunters are.Set your dekes,Sit back "RELAX"and enjoy!! GOOD LUCK!

May I suggest that you check out the book A young hunters guide to waterfowling and conservation.author JIM SPENCER.It can provide you many answers.good luck an happy hunting.

Iagree with Jim in Mo,and Mr Fudd.At a 100ft.thats a strech for shootin quail.get closer,8 shot an a imp\cylinder.

IDAHO,ITS A FACT WE HAVE MORE TROUT THAN POTATOES.

MR,COOPER.I TRULY ENJOY YOUR POSTS AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS.IT SEEMS TO ME THE YOUNGER GENERATION IS A LITTLE THIN SKINED.THERE ARE PEARLS OF WISDOM IN YOUR WORDS.THEY CANT SEE THE FOREST FOR THE TREES. BEST REGARDS FROM A BOBTAILED OLDFART. LOL.

I USE 23/4 INCH EARLY IN THE WATER FOWL SEASON.CAUSE THE DUCKS ARE CLOSE.THEY WORK FINE ON DOVES,QUAIL,PHESANTS TOO.12 OR 20GA.

"was gonna purchase a black powder rifle kit at WAL-mart"an when a clerk finally came around Ihad the dam thing built.LOL...

"EXCELLENT!"POST Ive used the fall leaves on duck blinds,an layout blinds.even on my guille suite.does Martha stewart hunt?

Its all going to hell in a hand basket.On a lighter note I heard that our comander in chief may pay the taliban to befriend us in some way?? 72 virgins& full dental.go figure.

You aint gonna be out nothin if he says no.Then build it from there.How would you of felt if you had drove by an seen same buck in the back of some other guys truck?Theres a lot of excellent advive above!good luck.

I COULDNT SHOOT MY PARTNER.THE ROUTE I WENT WAS OUR VET HAD A SHOT IT WAS QUICK AND PAINLESS.IT SMOOTHED A VERY SAD PROCESS IN LIFE.

One of the funniest things I ever seen was while pheasant hunting.My uncle sort of half crouching,handed me his shotgun and told me theres a rooster sittin tight in that clump of grass.Before I said a word he pounced on the clump of grass.And all hell broke loose!!It was a ferel tom cat, and holy fourth of july, what a site.It wasnt too funny that day but I get a giggle out of him all these years latter.

Idaho sells tags over the counter for both.

Idraw and paint,dabble in taxidermy,and metal work.

I HAVE AN OLD ITHICA 20GA SINGLE SHOT.AND ITS PUT MORE THAN ITS SHARE OF MEAT IN THE FREEZER!!FROM DOVES,TO DEER.THIS YEAR IM GONNA USE AN 20GA 11OO IN A 3"MAG ON WATERFOWL.

GOOD CALL.EVSPENCE,MUSKIEMASTER,DWAYNEZ,THUMBSUP!!THOSE TIPS WORK HERE OUT WSET IN THE WINTER.

Ive a 1100 in a 20ga mag 3"Its a real sweetheart.

Iv'e never seen a set i didnt like.The 4x4= 8 pointer is how Icount em.

I use a neoprene shock absorber sling.They stay put on your shoulder.there is one called the claw that is really comfortable.Its nice to have a good sling while setting out decoys.good luck.

Here in Idaho theres cormorants and pelicans.Idont care for them."TRASH CANS WITH WINGS" I think they do more harm than good.

Ive never shot one.But Ive encounterd such critters throughout my life.The most memorable was a huge!! nontypical snow covered sagebrush.Ispent the better part of the afternoon stalking,during a nasty sodasprings blizzard."good times"

Agood cleaning,replace the rings and cycle a few rounds.Im always replacing the rings on my older 1100's

Aside from the gifts youve mentioned above,Ive done some fence work,Split firewood,pest removal.Theres always somthing to fix or repair on the farms an ranches I hunt.Anything Ican to show my thanks.

Best of luck!"Tire chains in WY" Dont they come stock with every vehicle? lol.

There are places I hunt that are hunted hard by fellow hunters,And to know the patterns of the game in the area is a big plus.Takin the time to learn these little secerets is well worth the time!Excellent post Beekeeper!

I AGREE WITH MR COOPER.I PUT THE PLYBOARD UP FIRST.THEN 2 OR 3 BALES OF STAW LEGNTH WAYS IN THE FRONT OF THAT.ALSO YOU CAN TAKE CARD BOARD BOXES,BUST THEM DOWN FLAT AND BUILD YOU A BUFFER WALL.

YOU CAN FILL A GUNNYSACK FULL OF WADDED UP NEWS PAPERS IT WILL TAKE A BUNCH.THEN GET YOU A ROLL OF THAT PLASTIC WRAP THEY USE ON PALLETS WRAP UP THE GUNNY SACK. MAKE IT NICE AND TIGHT. AND YOULL HAVE A GOOD TARGET.WITHOUT THE COST/MESS OF STRAW BALES. YOU CAN PATCH THE WEAR SPOTS WITH GRAY TAPE.ID USE CHEAP FIELDPOINTS IF YOU USE THE PLYBOARD\TARP BACK DROP. ITS EASY TO REPLACE AN ARROW,THEN HAVING IT GO WHERE ITS NOT INTENDED. GOOD LUCK.

WELL, WE HAVE WOLVES HERE IN IDAHO.ITS BEEN ON AGIN OFF AGIN AS TO THE HUNTING OF THEM.I HOPE THEY GET IT IRONED OUT SOON."I BET THEY TASTE LIKE ELK" I AGREE WITH KYLE.

AS A KID I LOVED HUNTING AN FISHING WITH MY FATHER.BUT MY UNCLE GOT ME INTO FLY-TYING,FLYFISHING.UPLAND BIRDS,WATERFOWLING. HUNTING DOGS THE WHOLE NINE YARDS.HIS HEALTH IS POOR NOW AND HE PRETTY MUCH IS HOME BOUND. ITS REALLY TOUGH CAUSE I KNOW HE WANTS TO GO.HIS KNOWLEDGE THAT HES PASSED ON TO ME IS THE MOST VALUBLE GIFT ILL EVER KNOW.

ID SAY 50/50 MY WIFE IS AN EXCELLENT OUTDOOR COMPANION.HUNTING OR FISHING SHES GOOD TO GO.AND SHE NOW UNDERSTANDS THE VALUE OF A GOOD SET OF WADERS,SHOT SHELLS.ETC,ETC.SHE EVEN PICKED OUT OUR LAST PUP.ITS ALL GOOD.

THE SPOTS WE HUNT ALL DIFFER.SPINNERS ARE COSTLY.IN SOME SPOTS OUR JERKLINE CONSISTS OF A STOUT PIECE OF REBAR A HALF LINK OF CHAIN WELDED TO WHERE ITS JUST UNDER WATER.TAKE SOME SURGICAL TUBE AN MAKE YOUR SELF A RUBBER BAND LOOP IT THROUGH THE LINK AND TIE YOUR CORD TO THE OUTER END.THAT GOES BACK TO YOUR HIDE,TIE ON A COUPLE DEKES OUT TOWARDS THE END AND THERE YOU GO.YOU MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE A FEW ADJUSTMENTS.

I AGREE WITH DELinKS.I"D CHECK MY HOOK SHARPNESS,ALSO.LIKE SKEEB MENTIONS.THAT OUGHT TO FIX YOUR PROBLEM.
