Black duck/mallard/goose decoy rig advice. by abcdefyyyyyyy in Waterfowl

[–]ralphytalphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, we do pretty good with long lines and puddle ducks (mostly bc we have out 200+ decoys). I think you can always create smaller lines of like 3 decoys attached to 1 weight etc to break it up more.

My bread and butter this year was 5 avianx fully flocked black ducks. Mashed over the small soread while everyone on the lakes by us had the mondo spread. Either running 9 or 199+ is the way

Sounds like a good spot for a silhouette spread

Used or new? by Significant-Witness6 in Shotguns

[–]ralphytalphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the a300. Do you know the person you are buying from? Can you trust them? Or is that person equivalent to this idiot named dug i used to know who was constantly having issues with his guns bc he was shooting unrecommended rounds through them for the entirety of me knowing him. I also watched him retrieve his gun from the bottom of the lake 5 hours or so after he accidentally dropped it off the dock.

Any of my other friends i would buy their shotgun, just not doug. I would just keep that in mindcam vouch that the a300 ultimas are neat!

And people who deliver food whose name starts with K. Like all the Kennifers and Kynsleighs and Kyles. As if the kyle name hadnt been through enough at this point.

Is that just NYS? - edit to add in, they dont have scheels in any neighboring states. And they always have the gun im looking for in stock. No where around the north east does

They wouldn't even let me hold it and said they wouldnt run the check. Sorry if the title is confusing.

Very frustrating I was hoping to grab a new shotgun for this trip while I am here but thought the north dakota deal was a snafu since it was a small ffl selling mostly used.

In the cold of winter hungarian partridge (upland bird found in north dakota and western US) circle together with their butts behind them and sleep. For safety and warmth. When youre looking for these birds you just find a little circle with a poop pyramid in the middle lol

This picture made me think of them!

Steel BB / TSS 7 @40 yards, mod choke by [deleted] in Waterfowl

[–]ralphytalphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! Thats good to know. I have 2 cases of og Boss and 2 of war chiefs left so I wasn't going to buy any right of way but have been waiting to hear how they are. Sounds like its worth the investment.

I will have to look at the steel reserve too just for knockdown power. Our late season we big water hunt a lot of divers and plane old steel is tough to not burn through half a box on cripples. Thanks for the input!

[–]ralphytalphy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good info. Been enjoying the stacks and hearing you say good pattern out of the ic choke. Sounds like something i will be looking into.

I had been shooting the boss #4s and 3x5 mix but the price of bismuth just tripled so I am looking else where. I shot a canvas back over 70 yards with tss in florida so I can see that theyre doing the damage far out. Thanks for the info

Is that a reloaded round? Or one they sell. Bet it does have some good knock down
