Well I thought I had made a successful post but it doesn't appear that way. I was curious if that Wingmaster you are borrowing can shoot non-lead shot safely.

Haven't bagged a white-wing yet, only mourning doves. Maybe they'll be around for the late hunt.

Bagged five this evening. The birds are flying fast and low. I'll bet I let two limits go by while looking in the other direction and about ten more that got into the creosotes before I could shoot. Large leads at 30 yards were the name of the game. I did manage to pull down doubles on two...

Slow start but the evening hunts have been pickin up.

What if your 9 pellet 00 shells are marked "LAW ENFORCEMENT" and so are the boxes, and you are not L/E? I don't think this ammo is illegal to possess but may be scrutinized under a self defense situation.

The back pole, if that is what's depicted in the photo, extends over his hat and terminates somewhere around the tree line. It actually looks a fallen tree in the thicket. Now I just see a bipod. I don't really give two cents if it's real or not. Something tells me that, if you were to have a...

This is a recipe for disaster. Is there no where else you can sit and down some dove?

Raining "pellets" is no big deal. Sending them horizontally to another hunter is.

That tripod covers around 900 square feet. Oh by the way, that tripod is made from some long timber. That animal would be about 4 times bigger than the hunter. The bark on the log doesn't fit the scale.

Wow I'm jealous. Nice day out for sure! What's the story with those clear-cut trees? The other pics look like there was some clear-cutting with planting afterward.. I'm not a forester, just curious.

I was just reading through this thread to see if anyone asked this question. I'm a HUGE fan of the IC choke now. I have been shooting dove and quail with a 870 WM 16 ga. with a fixed mod choke for about 30 years. I picked up a Stoeger 12 ga M3000 this year and screwed in the IC. I didn't pattern...

Good on him, good on you. Sounds like a good lad already...

Yes indeed! i forgot to quote this one earlier. Ear and eye protection are easy to get and use. A little orange might help also.

I went out and bagged 8 today after work. Had a nice thunderstorm blocking the sun for me while providing some nice cool outflows. Gonna hit em tomorrow again..
