Any Waterfowl Hunters?

This was a guided hunt in Stuttgart, The guide said our group set the guide service's record for pintails in one hunt that day. It was painful to have amazing January drakes dive bombing you and not being able to shoot since we got limit early...

 

that's so hard not being able to shoot cause you already got your limit! Bet that was a fun day for sure!

 

Nine more months

 

6 months till Archery season, then the real fun of waterfowl hunting 2 long months after that!! It's gonna take forever to get here. May as well do a little shotgun shopping

 

Ooooo, what are you getting?

 

I'm looking at getting another Beretta!
Something along the a400 optifade line.
I have a a400 28ga and it surprisingly does a number on ducks haha. Teal don't stand a chance
I used a a300 this last year and it has been a great gun, especially for the $600. But it's my new found trap gun. So the a400 12ga in optifade is looking great!

What are you shooting?

 

Nothing wrong with a 28. I have an old Rem 870 wingmaster 28 that I love. Yep, the beretta is a great gun. I hunt with a Rem 870 super mag 12. Always have, always will. It always goes bang when I need it to. It's been used to bust ice and paddle the boat on multiple occasions. It's also been submerged more times than I can count and ran over by a truck. The bastard won't die. What more could you ask?

 

You definitely can't ask for anything more! That's a hell of a gun for sure. I'm a huge Beretta guy haha.
It's a blast taking the 28ga out and killing some ducks, alot more of a challenge. Can't reach out there like the good ol 12ga that's for sure. There's a lot less things to go wrong with a pump gun. I hunted with a Benelli Nova for 10 years and it never had a problem. Then I hunted with a semi once and never looked back haha

 

The value of a smooth cycling auto loader is undeniable on those 2nd and 3rd shots. That's for sure

 

Liked x a billion. Don't get me wrong I love my 870 but my Benelli kicks it's ass all day every day...and no loss in reliability between the two.

 

Yea can't beat an auto loader. I have a 11-87 I got when I was 14ish, so almost 20yrs ago.

Thing is super reliable, kicks 3" mags and light loads. I guess the new ones are shit.

Thought about trading for a benelli last season, but I can't bring myself to get rid of the 11-87

 

All my duck hunting yota pics

 

I got a a400 xtreme max4 before the season started and used it for pheasant and ducks, love it and with the kickoff I can shoot 3in #2 all day no problem as long as we can get the ducks to land in our dekes. It seemed to shoot a little high for me so I need to pattern it before next season and see what I need to adjust. But after switching from an 870 to an 1100 to now the a400 I can't ever see going back

Cool vid my cousin made for there collegiate hunting series entry

 

Damn dude, that gave me goose bumps and made my blood boil. 7 more months... I was sitting on a pond bank stalking a turkey the other morning when I heard the distinct fffffffffffffftttttttt of wind on wings. About 10 blue wings came crashing in. I shouldered my gun and drew a bead out of instinct. Ha ha.
